Life After Death
Imagine this. You’re working in a hospice, and one person there that you’ve taken a liking to is a former Merchant Marine who is dying of stomach cancer. Let’s call him Ron. One day you are sitting at his bedside reading to him and suddenly you feel a great force take hold of you. Before you know it, you are floating in the air, as if you are somehow out of your body. But guess what, there is another ghostly body floating in the air. It's Ron, and he looks at you and smiles. He looks very content indeed, as if trying to tell you that he’s A-OK with clocking out and getting a new room in the afterlife. Suddenly you feel yourself drop, as if your soul has joined your body again. On the bed next to you is Ron. He takes a few more breaths and dies. The End.

What happens when you finally kick the bucket, so to speak?
Despite the scientific understanding of death, many people still hold onto the belief in an afterlife. In 2014, a poll conducted by the Telegraph found that nearly 60% of UK citizens believed in some form of life after death. In the US, a Pew Research survey in 2015 revealed that 72% of Americans believed in heaven as a reward for a good life, while 54% believed in hell, which was described as a place “where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.”

Love thy neighbor
When my mother was sick and dying, she was surrounded with love. We knew she was in her last days and we made extra effort to devote time and care for her. I had just started a new job in the federal hospital at the time, and I had to take some time out of work to be with her. I traveled to Lagos where she was, in my elder sister's home. You see, my mother suffered from cancer of the colon, and at the time we had been to some of the best oncologists in town and they had told us, her time was up. It was quite an emotional news to receive. My mum had been the pillar of support, not just in her family of marriage but in her family of birth. She was the uniting force among her 4 brothers and only sister after the demise of their parents. So in this period of the end of her life, the best we could do was to rally round her and make this inevitable demise as painless as possible. My sister and her husband accommodated her in their home and made sure she got all she needed. My brother would pay her a visit every single day, and I had taken a break from work to be with her. It was the least we could do. Everyday we prayed, we got men of God to pray, as the only way out was a miracle. We sang her favorite songs, kept her engaged and happy, made appropriate meals for her condition...I mean, the least we could do.
