That unconditional love I have for them has never and will never be broken and even though that was one of the darkest and one of the most painful times of my life, I am glad I got to experience that today. I am blessed to have shared memories with them and all of the people I have lost in my life. Sure, death is inevitable, but what both death and grief have not broken in my life is my faith and my love for others. I get to help those in my life who are grieving because of what I went through. I have the opportunity to help those grieving at wakes and funerals with simply a hug or by sharing a positive memory of the person who they lost. I am blessed to support my friends and my family who have lost loved ones. Sympathy and empathy has played a big role in helping those close to me. So, through the path of childhood, I experienced grief. But as I moved into my teenage years, I realized something; what once had consumed my life, changed my life forever. I have grief to thank for helping me become stronger emotionally and spiritually. I have had the opportunity to support those who have lost loved ones thanks to grief and most importantly, I have grown into the young man I am
