According to the chief of the Native American tribe the complexities that are associated with life and death are put together in a statement of his that tells us that life on earth is termed as incarnation and death is nothing but freedom where in you go and look out for your spirit in the netherworld.

Death is often seen as a tragedy from which cannot recover from. In a way it is true as we are not immortal and neither have we perfected an elixir that will grants us immortality. Every one has to leave the earth someday to make place for the new arrivals.

However death need not be brought out by violent or unkind ways and it is usually the members of the family and near ones as also specially trained workers and volunteers who take pains to see that the grief associated with death doesn't affect the lives of the individuals.

Easing pain and grief are the sole responsibility of these individuals who are ready to give their service so that others might benefit. Hospice is reckoned to be one of the highest paid jobs in the field of health care and it is a good opportunity to show case love and kindness to the patients and their families.
