What is this "closure" that we here about nowadays
"bring closure to the families of those lost"
Can someone actually provide me with a clear definition of what "closure" actually means.
I have no idea why but I always have the impression that this word was invented purely for the media,lawyers or those that believe that people can come back from the dead.
If it simply means "coming to terms with someone death" or the "finally accepting someone's death" why not just use those term. Closure sounds "pityfull", it makes people appear weak even when this is not necassarily the case. It feels as though it is just another one of those words that the media or soap operas like to use to dramatize things unnecessarily.
I really can't imagine that many Japanese famillies have had difficulty sleeping for the last 70 years because they still had some doubts about whether their son's ship really did sink and whether he did or did not die in consequence..
