My views....well I think that time of death is a very important factor. It is especially important if the cause of death is unclear, or if it's a case where investigating needs to be done. It also is helpful to family, I think, because it not only helps family understand what was possibly going on when the death occurred but also to maybe help raise awareness of certain things that may have been going on when the death happened and to reassure others not to partake in some of those things.(hopefully that makes sense) I also used to be a nursing assistant and things like TOD were very important to know, it helped us figure out if the resident had maybe been neglected, what steps we could take in the future to notice these signs, how to improve our accuracy when checking on residents and so on.
For me, if someone I love and/or care about has passed...yeah I would like to know when their TOD was... but that's just my opinion, hopefully it makes sense @tealmyster.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
