Death free essay sample

Possibly the worst feeling I have ever experienced is the hopelessness of watching my grandfather coming closer to his inevitable death.I once feared this feeling, but over the years as I mature, I have learned that death is something that one day happens to everyone, some sooner than later.Why can’t we learn to accept something that is so commonplace and inevitable? When my grandfather was first diagnosed with cancer, almost three years ago now, I had never had anyone close to me with cancer, and the only death in the family I had ever known was our dog.Although the cancer was responding to treatment at first, it really made me realize, for the first time, that the most inspiring person in my life wasn’t going to be around forever.For almost two years, the oncologist was confident that he was slowing the growth of the cancer. When I think about interviewing with Google, my head spins. However, while initially all of these goals I have make me extremely nervous, I think about that invisible timer accompanying me. If I hold back from my full potential and remain fearful, death will get the chance to grasp me and my bucket list will never be completed. Death keeps me going. I have so many goals and aspirations and I am determined to complete them, and I cannot let death stand in my way. In the end, I cannot control when death will take me, but I can dissipate my fear so I can die with fulfillment. My invisible timer is still ticking, and when it finally hits zero, I know that I will die with no regrets, because fear did not get in my way.
