When viewing the film, My Sister’s Keeper, Kate reaches the end of the terminal stage of her illnesses, by dying in her sleep as her mother, Sara, sleeps next to her. The film ends with the family going to her favorite place in the world. From my perspective of that part, is their way of a remembrance of Kate. When a patient dies from a terminal illness, families grieve their lost in different ways. “Expressing the feelings of loss, anger, and sadness that comes with death of a loved one is a necessary part of the resolution of grief” (Rando, 1984, pp. 75).

Two years ago was when everything changed. Katherine’s Grandma passed away suddenly due to an undetected heart failure, and Grandpa became depressed.

To understand and assimilate the truth that she would not be around for long was an uneasy venture for her. However, she accepted it.

She made a lot of comparisons between her current and past physicality and health. During the interview I wondered if she was going to make reference to any positive experiences of her developmental stage. I noticed a shift in her affect once we started talking about the relationships she has with her husband, parents, daughter, and friends. She how much easier and enjoyable they had become, particularly with her parents. The connections she has with the people she loves have grown deeper and have an added meaning to them. It was uplifting to hear that despite the inevitable decline in health, cognition and physicality, relationships become more meaningful and purposeful. Patients’ relationships, especially with their family, are important at any life stage. This information is important to keep in mind when caring for middle aged adults. Although there are legal ramifications around disclosing a patient’s medical issues, there is a lot that a nurse can do to remind the patient to incorporate their loved ones in whatever the patient may be going

That’s the thing about hard moments, it feels impossible at first. It feels as if you're drowning. At first you’re struggling, trying to reach the surface but not fulling achieve it. Then your lungs start to burn, you’ve reached to point where you have two choices. You can either let yourself give into the darkness, or you can choose to keep fighting. If you were to choose the latter, the panic would start to set in. You would start to realize that you're not done fighting and you start to swim, pulling yourself to the surface. Once you break through, you take a deep breath of that sweet, sweet air. Abby chose the latter, she was the strong one. She pulled us all up with her, never letting anyone choose the darkness. She was strong from the start, all along she knew she wanted to use her experience to help others. She never let her condition hold her back. Doctors appointments weren’t always a walk in the park. She went through them with a smile on her face, even if the news wasn't the best. She kept positive, which gave us all hope. Hope that things are not always going be difficult. Hope that with each hard moment we face; we can overcome it and rise through the challenge. Life isn’t always full of hard

“And the academy award for best actress in a drama goes to…” my heart was racing. I don’t even remember who’s presenting some actor in some big teen franchise that I thought I was to hipster to watch. God I’m regretting that now, I’m going forever know as the self-absorbed actress who thinks she’s too good to remember someone’s name. If I even win… oh god what if I don’t win what if I end up like Leonardo DiCaprio, nominated like 30 times but never wins.

Throughout the play, Sarah has stated how invested she is in her job, seeing it as her duty to photograph the devastation overseas. She is adamant about going back once her injuries are healed, regardless of what the other characters tell her. This drive to go back to her job not only stems from her passion, but her insistence that documenting gruesome events is a necessary and important job. Sarah sees what she is doing as helpful. This is seen when she states that she helps “by gathering evidence.

There she was sitting in her wheelchair getting wheeled off, her son guiding her as she passed by the ward and staff with a big smile on her face. With a final wave to the nurses and other staff, she was gone. Finally, she was going home. The nurses, her son and daughter have all waited for that moment. She was feeling better than before and could go back to her life outside the hospital. Joyce was not like this the first time I met her. She had been through a lot since she got here and she deserved that moment.

Thinking nothing of it at first, until she saw there was no life in her sister’s eyes. Had she really drifted off for too long? Did she stray away from her sister’s being, and was she too late? She shook the small child a few times, getting no response. “Sarah!” she cried out, gripping the girl’s shoulder so tightly before pulling away, her hands shaky.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and care especially those who are with an illness; they deserve all the love and compassion. Moreover, we shouldn’t take the littlest things for granted because we only have one life and most especially some people are dying to be able to do what us normal people can and they cannot. This movie made us realize that not a lot of people can be able to live their life the way they want it to due to tragic circumstances like a sickness, so we should learn to appreciate the life we have and make sure to enjoy every bit of it. Life is a very beautiful gift from God and now it is up to us whether we live it and be happy or waste it. Lastly, miracles can definitely happen but not all miracles last forever we must accept that some are just

From line 52 to 65 we are introduced to Sarah’s contemporary family, her children and her husband. Then another flashback appears and the tense switches from present tense to past tense. From line 65, page 3, to line 126, page 5, we hear about the car accident through dialogues from the day it happened and through passages of descriptions. Subsequently the tense switches from past to present from line 127 to 130 where Sarah describes her feelings about Terry’s death.
