The long lost memories

Growing up with grandparents that act like your parents can be the worse nightmare for a little girl especially knowing mentally that you have parents but are not physically there for you.
There 's was never a thing that I did not have everything that I ever wanted was there for me. I was raised by both of my grandparents, the people that I adore the most and would think that they would never be gone but I was wrong everything that you once loved has an ending. The day that my grandma passed away was the worst day. I still remember everything that happens like if it was yesterday. Ever since that day, I keep on telling myself that things happen for a reason. How can you say goodbye to someone that raised you;

It was the first time I was not happy to see my grandma at all. As I was walking into the room, I started to feel dizzy. I was not ready to see my grandma laying down on the bed but this time it was not to go to sleep but to say goodbye forever. It took me about five minutes before I was able to step in that room, I was hesitating a lot but then all that I was thinking was that if I did not man up to step to the room the time was just ticking; minutes of life. I did, I finally had the courage to step into that room and slowly walk to her. Tears rolling down my face heavily and all I was able to say to my grandma was “ don 't leave me, I need you here”. I was not ready to let her. She pulls me in close to her as she slowly grabbed my hand. Her hand was warm and soft. She looked straight at my eyes and the only words that she said to me were “ I love you”. She was grabbing my hand tightly but slowly she was letting go but I was not ready to let her go. I was shocked, I could not believe what was going on. I started to pour like there was no tomorrow. The world had ended for me. All that I was able to do was to hug her tight, I did not want to let go of her. I was shouting for her to wake up for all of this just to be a nightmare. I was not letting go but eventually, it was going to happen as hard as it seems you have to let go of people. My head was all over the place. I felt hopeless, alone and weak. I was only …show more content…
I was afraid of what was going to happen next after all of this. I was not hungry nor sleepy, I could not get through my head that my grandma “mom” was gone. I went home to change, I couldn 't help but to go to my grandma 's room, the house felt empty it was not the same. The vibe from the house was dead. I remember sitting in front of my grandma 's coffin and all that I was able to think was that why her out of all the people in the world. I still needed my grandma in every way possible. I was devastated but it got to the point were no tears were coming out. I was physically there but not emotionally stable. People will try to comfort me but that would not work because they were not my grandma. I was refusing to let her go. Right after the moment everything and everyone was dead to me. Somehow I had to get the courage to go up to her and say my last goodbyes as much as it hurt. I wanted her to open her eyes, as I was touching her hand I couldn 't help it but to kiss her cold forehead and ask why she left me all alone. I just wanted everything to be over with. As the people were leaving they would approach me. Her so-called sons and daughters my aunts and uncles were acting normal. It was obvious that they were just there for the testament nothing more or nothing less. I couldn 't believe how cruel they were but it did not matter anymore because I knew that at least my grandma will be in a better place but without

    I didn’t know how to grieve. I didn’t know how to deal with my emotions. I didn’t know if I should just act like everything’s okay or act like how I really felt. But I knew if I acted how I felt, it would be frowned upon. I cried a week later at my grandma’s funeral because I knew that day, my feelings were valid.…

    They told me I had to stop moping around and find the light again but the constant thought in my head was “how could I just move on from this.” I would stay in my room, I wouldn’t talk to anyone. The only time I would really do something was when I had to clean, and that was the only time I would do something. When we had family over all I could do was think about my dad. I would think to myself “what is he doing right now”. It was so hard to get over the fact that my dad was gone and I had no idea how everyone else left inside because I was hurting too.…

    Being a mother, I have had morbid “what ifs” that most people do not discuss or admit to having, for fear of judgment. I had always looked at death as something so far off, something that happens to you when you are old. When I thought about dying, my visions were mostly those of falling asleep and not waking up. I believe that I mostly thought about the dying part and not about the grief. Losing my brother and ex-husband have been by far the most painful experiences in my life.…

    Even though I was teased about it for years, I never told my mom. It wasn’t until I saw my stepdad carry my brother that I asked my mom if I had one. Now my mother has always been very impatient, and very restricted, so when I asked she would only answer the basic yes or no questions. When I wanted to know something specific like how did he look like, or what was he like, she would always lead me to believe that he did care about me so I shouldn’t care for him. I do have to admit, it hurt, a lot more than I could ever tell my mom.…
