The document discusses how losing important people can alter one's life. It provides three examples from the story "Resurrection" by Rebecca Dun-Krahn. The first is the author's reaction to her first chicken dying, which made her numb to loss. The second is the death of Vern, a close family friend, which was especially difficult due to their long relationship. The third example is the death of the author's cat Merlin, which was hard in light of also losing another cat. The document emphasizes that while loss is painful, life continues on and we must find strength to keep living despite our grief.

a person's life. In reality, everyone has gone through their own trials, sufferings, and loss in life. Nobody is unused to feeling and dealing with it. Some people used pain as a source of strength in their lives, and as a direct consequence, they were successful. Some people are unable to bear the pain they are experiencing and have given up their hope of seeing the light, opting instead to follow the darkness. They allow their pain to dominate and own them, transforming them into something they never expected. Losing someone has the ability to change a person, whether for the better or for the worse. A person's spiritual, mental, and physical well- being may be numbed by too much pain. They were numb to the pain that life had brought at them, and when they'd had enough, they were no longer able to feel the pain. These are the following scenarios in the story Resurrection by Rebecca Dun-Krahn had show the effect of losing someone can alter a person’s life. The first one when her first ever chicken, Big Ann, a Rhode Island Red had died, she shed tears. And when they’ve had lost a fair number, Rebecca was used to it and doesn’t feel sympathy anymore as she did to her first chicken. “ I suppose I have become a not-very-nice person also”. That’s what she said to herself considering that she became tougher after what happened to Big Ann, and it doesn’t affect to her anymore. The second scenario, ‘I saw Vern take his last breath, but somehow that didn’t make it easier to accept his death. It took me a long time to really understand that I wouldn’t ever again hear his heavy work boots tromping up the back staircase to my kitchen, wouldn’t hear him open the door (he had built both the stairs and the door) and say, “Oh, hi Rebeca,” as if he were surprised to see me there. To realize that he wouldn’t finish the kitchen, which he had put so much of himself into over the course of six years, was a shock. I had always thought he would get better, even in the final days' -Rebecca said. At the very first sentence, Vern was different from all who left them, because he isn’t a chicken nor a cat. They were hurt because they had been with him more for a long time. Vern was special to and a man innocent in their hearts. They went through a lot and many memories were made. It's devastating to lose someone close to you. You won't be able to see or interact with him any longer. The third will be a six-month-old Merlin who was killed after being struck by a car. It's hard for them to lose Blackberry and then Merlin because they've learned to love those cats that provide them with warmth and enjoyment. Whether you like it or not, we will all disappear from this world soon. Nobody is invincible. We have no power of our own fate. We can't stop someone we care for from leaving because we all started as ashes and will end up as ashes again. Neither you nor we have the power to stop death. Nothing is permanent because everything is transient. “The loss of an important person will alter a person's life,” says the title. True, but life does not come to an end there. It doesn't stop when our loved ones pass away. It hurts, but after all that has happened, we must rise and fight again. When it comes to our loved ones, each of us has our own background and story. Acceptance is difficult because they are there to help us. But, even though we flip the universe on its head, we won't be able to save them because we aren't God. So value the person who is near to you. Show it to them for the rest of your life rather than regretting it later because you didn't. Since our lives are so short, let us not waste them in sorrow for what we haven't done.
