She was the best mother anyone could ever get. I loved her, she was my everything. We used to bake together once I came from school, well, college now. This death really shook me, and my mom. She started answering the…
The Day My Dad Died It all happened 7 years ago on July 17, 2009. My dad became sick whenever I was 9 months old e always had to go to the hospital every morning at 8 or 9 for ____A month before he died he went to Dr. Casey, and got some medicine that could affect his kidneys. The doctor didnt even check his kidneys and throughout that month no one told me what was going on with my dad. I went to his house like I normally did, but he wasn’t the same anymore.…
A Loss Too Well Remembered This was a rather interesting assignment, one that I did not believe I would able to complete. I had so many ideas of what I wanted to write about, that is until I remembered my best friend. My very first best friend was more like a brother to me.…
I interviewed a mom who I will call KG. KG has a daughter that is approximately 16 months old who I will refer to as RG. RG has not always attended a daycare center. The first six months after she was born KG was a stay at home mom to her daughter. KG was going to school for education during that time and when she finished and decided to look for a job is when RG began going to this daycare center where KG is a teacher.…
What happened to her father? I don't know, maybe something stupid about money? What happened to Xander?…
It’s understandable, especially considering he was probably your closest friend. Losing someone that close to you in such an awful way would be hard on anyone, but it’s so nice that you’ve been so kind with your mom even though you’re missing people as well, she probably…
My entire life I was helpless. I could stand there and watch as my dad got sicker but could never do anything about it. I could watch as he took pill after pill and shot after shot. I could watch him as he became frustrated, wondering what he did to ask for this. I could watch his face and personality change as his blood sugar dropped but could never do anything to help.…
“Mom don’t cry,” I said holding back my own tears, “you’re gonna be ok.” Tears ran down my mother’s face as she gazed up at me. I squeezed her cold hand and watched her lay in fear as she prepped for her fourth heart surgery. It’s the hardest thing in the world seeing someone you love go through so much heartache...literally. A nurse escorted us to the hospital lobby, and I continued to hide my sad eyes.…
Have you ever blamed yourself for a specific situation? While growing up with my mother, who is a single parent of two. I always blamed myself for my mom and dad’s separation. Never had I thought I would get over not having a father figure in my life. Although, yes it was difficult but it made me who I am today.…
Grief has been both my downfall and my saving grace. No one knows how to grieve properly or correctly, but the one thing I learned from grieving at a very young age, is that grief is love; specifically, unconditional love. This unconditional love towards someone (or in my case, many people) pours out as a sign of loneliness and yearning just to hold them and hug them one final time. 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.…
Losing my father at a young age did not only take a toll on me, but my 3 siblings as well. Death can sometimes break a family apart, but for mine it did the opposite. A person will not understand how tough losing a parent is until it is experienced. Then again, no one knows the joy of gaining a parent either. I am strong because I have lost, and I am successful because I have gained.…
The death of little sister A significant experience can be defined as something that has happened in the past and is meaningful to an individual because of the impact it had on them. Everyone has a significant experience that is either bad or good in which are dealt with in very different ways. As for me, I have a significant experience that devastated my life. It was on July 16, 2005, I woke up to the voice of my mother crying hysterically in her bedroom. Without hesitation I rushed down the hallway.…
Death is final with no point of return and extremely painful for the ones left behind to grieve. This was especially true for me when I lost my mother. Losing her was one of the most difficulty experiences in my life because I was not prepared for her death. Looking back on the situation, there was nothing for which to prepare; she was only fifty-one years old. I knew her health was not the best; however, the diagnosed health problems were not what killed her.…
One of the most challenging things I have gone through that I am still facing every day, is losing my dad at the age of four and growing up without a father.…
Family, Love, And Pain Planning for life can be difficult when many unexpected situations can occur, whether you are ready or not. As a teenager, I gained the experience of love and pain all at once, yet I understood life goes on. When expecting news that might change your life forever, there can be a terrifying and exciting sensation. I lost my voice as the two little pink lines appeared on my pregnancy test. I found out that i was pregnant after my vacation in South Texas visiting my father.…
