Shiralkar provides the point that you can't see the dead after death. You just get to live life once and there are no second chances.This poem may be useful to people trying to better understand care of the dead because it really gives you this sense that you can be with the ones you love and care about forever. As the poem reaches the end it pulls you out of this concept and basically tells you no this isn't true life doesn't work that way, you have to move on eventually.

Tercio provides this idea than when you all life and functioning truly is at an end for that individual. You become motionless and no different than that of a pencil or a door. Just plain old lifeless.
This poem may be useful to people trying to understand care of the dead because it really lets you know that when you die you die. There's no afterlife and no coming back it's all over, just move on.

Mark provides us with a bit of different idea this time, he puts this idea out that death is something we must face inevitably. There no escaping it but there are ways to ease your worries/fears about death. Being religious is certainly one of them.

Dickson provides us with this sense that griefing isn't neccesarily a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with giefing but to much griefing can be dangerous. It's not all about you and your problems all the time, and people need to realize that instead of worrying about themselves all the time.

Mark provides us with this sense that life is something enjoyable that we all go through. Then she completely turns the table and says it doesn't really matter because were going to die eventually. Then it contradicts itself again and says to live life to the fullest because life is short and your here on Earth for a certain amount of time.

Dickson provides us with the idea the humans tend to think that things are immortal when it turns out they actually aren't. We just want it that way because we don't want to die and we don't want things to come to an end. There is where religion comes into place it provides people with this feel good alternative after death. Immortality with God in heaven, what reasuring news?

Mark provides us with the sense that death is not something we should give into. We shouldn't let death overcome us. None of your actions prevent death. However, I disagree our basic bodily functions/actions exist so that we don't die.
