Mourning

After thinking about the relation between Doctor Strange and D’Spayre, I realize that we mourn in numerous ways. The specific order in which mourning happens as well as the timeline all depends on the person and the relation to the event that they are mourning. I have only experienced the loss of grandparents that I was not very close with, so I do not have a lot of experience mourning. I would say that the most influential death to me thus far in my life was of my first dog, Annie. She was our family pet from the time I was 5 all the way until I was 17. When she died, my entire family was sad, and I think what helped most was that she was mourned so much. It was a symbol of how much we respected her for protecting and loving us for all those years. Seeing my brothers and parents mourn for her the way they did made it seem like a very special event, and it promoted a lot of healing right away. I think that this is important because it can complicate the mourning process if you mourn alone or if someone is not mourned like you think they should be.
