Personal Narrative: My Mother's Death

Improved Essays
I shift under the covers,alone,in eerie silence.I clutch my elbows,looking back at the darkness.He was there when my mother died;and even then,I could hear my mom's cries from the coffin.Suddenly,everything falled down,inch by inch.
His face was unrecognizable and uncanny.
I could feel him,tearing my pillows to shreds,ripping my bedsheets,and yanking me out of bed.His claws digged into my calf,leaving scratch marks everywhere.I screamed,the blistering pain choking me and enclosing me.
Soon, I could leave the pain and suffering,the torture,and the chaos.They would soon cradle me and help me go to bed. I wanted to be dreaming.I wanted to be able to enjoy the unknown and be satisfied with the sinful temptations every once in awhile.
I screamed

    I hate Christmas because nothing is phenomenal. I am not being facetious. I assume that Santa was busy and remiss when he forgot to give me a Christmas gift. Every time I saw other children play with their new toys by looking through the translucent window, I consternated about Christmas, and felt disconsolate. It is a paradox that a rich country should be so many poor people.…

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…

    “If a woman cannot stay home with her children, then maybe she just should not have them!” Natosha Keller, my mother, is a stay at home mom who believes if a woman were to have children, her number one priority should be to take care of her children and not have to worry about anything else.

    After my grandma’s death, my family had to take a trip to the florist to pick out floral arrangements for her visitation.

    Wild in The West The sound of the wind blowing through the car window was a calming white sound that put me fast to sleep. I awoke faster than I could open my eyes, to a scream, a crash, and a feeling of falling through the air. As my eyes opened I saw only white then an ever approaching darkness it's as if someone had taken a slo-mo video and was projecting it into my eyes. I could only watch as the earth was approaching closer and closer to me.…
