Inconvenience
By no means is death convenient. At some point in life we have our first encounter with it, weather it be a pet goldfish or a loved one. Our first encounter with the grim reaper is never forgotten. My grandmother recently passed away and at the wake I observed my 3 year old nephew Austin and how he reacted to his first encounter of death. It made me pause... Because life is just so simple at that age. It seems like the older we get the harder life becomes. No matter when it happens, the death of a loved one always comes at the wrong time and is never easy to cope with. Every person copes differently, some of us just sit and have our time of mourning and then its over and others will just never be the same again. Some sit in their rooms and reminisce on the memories and items of the past. Others live in regret; regret that they never said what they meant, regret that they never got to say good by, and some of us live in the regret that we never showed enough love. Death is unavoidable and inevitable its ever present and sure to come. Death is a part of life that cannot be forgotten and will be sure to visit every person on this planet.

My first encounter with death was also with the death of my Grandmother when I was about 12 years old and I still remember her like if her death was yesterday. I totally agree with what you think about death, we are all born to die some sooner some later then others. I would also like to add that death is something we must accept because it is something that cannot be changed.
