### note

The verb is "die" (died, dying), the adjective is "dead". Do not write "death" when you mean "dead": "The fish is dead", not "The fish is death". Phrases like "bored to death" are exaggerations, not real. It is normal to feel sad, angry or confused after a death; talking to a trusted adult helps.
