生與死，一直以來都是生命存有的問題。本文所敘說的生命故事，從阿公住院連結起對阿嬤的回憶，最後，回轉面對阿公的喪禮。全文分成四個部分：前兩個部分說明敘說故事的原因，以及故事所擁有的力量。第三個部分則是由阿公的生與死，來思考家族關係；透過阿嬤的死與生，來思考自我的問題，其間自然涉及喪禮與葬禮的問題與功能。第四個部分為總結自己對生死的理解、回憶與自我的關係，進而說明敘說生命故事對自我的意義，可以讓逝去的親人以另一種形式存在於我的生命之中，也讓自己重新理解自我的生命意義。 The life story narrated in this article is focusing on Grandpa’s funeral.
