When i asked my mom about how she was brought up and how she was raised around illness and dying she told me the normal stuff people will usually say. My mom stated that when she was growing up her parents were strict and took disrespectfulness serious. So when ever she went to a funeral she would sit there quietely and listen to the priest talk about good and stay there for a hour or so and constantly walked over to the casket, but not to much since she didn't want to feel weird or in other terms out of place. She also felt the mood the everybody else was feeling since at a funeral its almost a sad environment she fit in within the environment so people won't look at her strange. Like she stated "I wouldn't be there smiling while everybody was there sad and crying it would be to akward." People would just be like what the hell...
Now her intake on illness wasn't as serious as the dying part since when your dying its like a final farewell to one person. But she did say that illness was very bad because her mom had diabetes and started losing her eye sight and was then later put on dialysis machine until later on she died of a heart attack. And she was 19 years old when her mom passed away. And i personally asked my mom if she misses her mother a lot and she tells me a whole story for an hour and how she was that she misses her a lot. And now my mom has type two diabetes which isn't that bad as she so call says but i know it can personally get worse, and i wouldn't want to lose my mother at an early age. She drinks soda and eats junk food aparently not caring on what she eats and i warn her and she just states "its my body not yours" so im just like whatever from now on. And when i asked her a question about why she does it and she just states " type two diabetes isn't that bad. If i had type one diabetes it would be way worse." And i beg to differ. http://diet.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Foods_to_Eat_with_Type_2_Diabetes
I asked my dad now about health and visiting the doctor if your sick and what not. And since my dad is more strict and has a marine attitude, he always tells me if your not dying then there is no need to go to the doctor. He tells me about how he got into around 16 car accidents with his bike since he used to race on his bike since he was a big lance armstrong fan. And how he just got back up and rode away except for a really bad accident he had back in 2000 when he went through a car windshield and had to go to the hospital for stitches and for his broken leg. And i asked him if he was sick would he miss a day of work and he said no, he states that if he isn't throwing up blood then there is no need to miss a day of work or a day of school in my case. But his overall intake on in health ain't that big of a deal to him. Since he has that marine like attitude he really doesn't care about a lot of things that my mom would care about.
