1. This last week of the reading from chapter 16 was kind of a interest to me. I am not a fan of death my self and I can relate to a lot out of this chapter. The part of the chapter that interested me the most is "Death Anxiety" for chapter 16.2 page 607. Th reason why I chose this particular topic is because I have gone through many life experiences that had to deal with death. Death to me and maybe to others it's just not a pleasant thing to go through. What I do want to leave with this topic is that they state on page 607 last paragraph first sentence it states " death anxiety may have a beneficial side" first when I seen this sentence I was think to my self like how beneficial can this be and the question to that is that when we are friar of death we seem to want to live longer and you know what that is true. 

2.  Like I said in the beginning I have had many life experience with death and one of them I have such high anxiety because of it. When I was in the military in 2007 I was I deployed to Afghanistan in 08 every one know sometimes people don't come back I knew that from the beginning. What I didn't know was going to hit me really hard, one night I was sleep it was my first week there and I waken up at 2am in the morning I put my uniform on walked out to the road where we all where walking to there was a line of soldiers from deferent parts of the world we all stood there looking around like what is going on and at that time we where told to stand down and salut we saluted to a soldiers who passed and was in a coffin they there was my first experience losing a battle buddy after that day I stood in that street so many more times to salut for other soldiers I can't even count it on my hands. So the chapter talks about death and how it effects and improves our life and I felt like I learned a lot of this chapter it has helped me realize for clearly about death. 

3. What I would like to know more about is more ways to cope with death and maybe a way to help other soldiers like me who are out of service with PTSD to help them cope with the fact the of death and what we can do tot help other around us understand the concept of death with our loved one and even our pets.
