Did you ever realize that Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s 5 stages of grief, which are generally used to deal with the death of someone close to you, also double as a guide to dealing with our own death? Poor Dylan Thomas only got to the 2nd stage.
Shock- No way will there be a dying of the light!
Anger- I rage, rage against the dying of the light!
Bargaining- Is there anyway I can avoid the dying of the light?
Depression- I’m so sad there will be a dying of the light.
Acceptance- I’ve come to live with the fact that there will indeed be a dying of the light.
I hope your thoughts on death matured after that poem buddy!
