Topic/ Main idea/ Introduction

*Topic:
-To know that grieving over(let go) isn't easy.
-How to comfort the pain of loss. (Everyone will face this problem one day.)
-How much will the experience of loss change a person. (This is more about myself, so I don't know if it's appropriate but I think this is more close to what I really want to know more about myself.)
*Main idea:
Everyone all know that when we have a problem, we need to face it, solve it, and let go it. Everyone knows that, but how many people can do it? To someone, maybe it doesn't take a lot of time, yet someone may never get through it.
*Introduction:
Since people will all leave(die) one day, we all will face loss(death), too. How many people can live like Morrie when they know they're going to die? Therefore, I think this can also be a lesson for people to learn and get a close look at it. Though it sound ridiculous, at least I think it is; why do people need to learn about death? Or learn how to say goodbye to others? Sometimes these things are just way too common to accept them when they happened to us unexpectedly. I am now one of those ridiculous people, and this made me change who I was. I don't know why and how it changed me, I'm still looking for the answer and that's why I'm doing this project. 
To talk more about this may help me broaden my mind, and maybe one day I'll suddenly realize that it's not that serious, who knows? Self-discovering is difficult, you have to find out your own strange behavior, thoughts... whatever, it's just difficult to tell if you're changed or not; also, you have to keep asking yourself questions, and answer. It's almost like philosophy. I always feel tired after thinking these stuff, I've used all my brain cell to think of questions about death, myself, my friend..., too many things stirred up in my brain, it's such a mess.
Death is the destination of our lives. I say that death isn't the end but a new start, what about you? we all have the chance to face "loss," no matter you're leaving others or others are leaving you. Try to find a best way to relax yourself to comfort the pain when it's necessary before it's too late.

advice

After the talk with teacher Hazel, she told me that my stuff is more like a "comforting the feeling of loss" ... something like that. And because my topic is more about myself, so I need to try to broaden it. Like talking more about death or self-healing, and my own experience is just a example.
She suggested that read more books about comforting the pain, grieving over the sorrow may help. And maybe I could tell others who has the same problem how to get through it, though actually I am still finding the answer, too. Helping myself and others at the same time. I'll try.

Umm..., I'm going to answer the questions, and maybe the answers can a part of my outline or my presentation.
Just like my daily speech said, this is the experience that changed my life. Before this, I was kind of more optimistic. I mean I wouldn't pretend I'm happy when I'm not, I wouldn't wear a mask on my face. After it happened, I always tried to hide myself away from others. I can't really remember how I feel, I just knew that the girl lying on the bed passed away and she is my best friend and she means a lot to me. It was too fast, it just happened rapidly, I wasn't ready for that, I never was prepared for her death. Everday seemed meanningless at first, and I was just idling away my time instead of keep going on. I have to admit I had thought of dying or something, but that's too selfish, and irresposible. I decided to live, my life and her life. I don't know if this means that I have walked through the pain or not, but what I am sure about is that I am now trying not to linger in the past. Sometime I will still think of her and I will feel sad. Not everytime when I think of her I cry, so once I cry, I must felt really sorrowful, and until there's no more tears, until my eyes are totally dry out, I no longer feel the pain. Then I'll have a nice sleep which is deep and long. I found that it is easier to think of her when I'm tired than when I'm energetic. It's kind of a circulation, I get tired, more and more tired, then I have enough rest, and day after day, I become tired again. That'so far I got to.
It took me sometime to organize these stuff in my brain, I guess they're still a mess, I always don't know how to express these things, so...that's all.
