Death and Dying

Question

Why do people Die?

Answer

Thank you for sending your question. The answer to your question is quite subjective (i.e. particular to a given person). As well, answers vary from various perspectives including psychological, social and religious to name a few. However I have found a resource that may help in finding an answer to the above question. I entered the search term Thanatology (which is the term for the study of death and dying) in google.ca. One excellent search result is growthhouse.org. http://www.growthhouse.org/links1.htm This is a comprehensive guide to death and dying. It is a searchable database with hundreds of resources for grief, bereavement, hospice care, and thanatology. You may also want to visit your local library and search for any materials under the subject of thanatology. Hope this helps. Regards, Ali (Library Technician)
