I remember being a little child with these big goals and dreams in life. My mother told me I could be anything I wanted. All I had to do was dream it and believe it. Being a young child, I thought achieving goals were easy yet I was told otherwise. However, with a thorough plan and dedication I can meet these goals.

I want to title the book “Her Last Tears” because I want the book to symbolize how I am done crying. I want the book to be about the things I overcame in my past. I wanted to be done crying. I think this book is helpful to my future because once I am done with the last chapter I am closing my past. This will help me start new beginnings and give me a fresh start in life.

    Narrative Essay On Grief

    • 466 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Grief has been both my downfall and my saving grace.

I understand that losing people is a part of life and can’t be avoided, but growing up, I thought my world had turned upside down when I lost the two most important people to me. Three weeks prior to my tenth birthday, my Nana passed away from Alzheimer’s Disease.…
