Personal Narrative: Why It Feels To Lose A Parent

Improved Essays
I cannot begin to understand how it feels to lose a parent, especially a mother. I am very sorry you have to experience this loss of such a valuable person in your life. You are probably experiencing a range of emotions right now but just know you are not alone. Talk to your family and friends, allow yourself time to grieve instead of burying your emotions inside. It is a normal process and we all go though it at some point in our lives. There are no words that I can say that will make this difficult time any easier for you but I hope it brings you comfort to know that your mother was an incredibly special woman that encouraged others around her to be the best they could be. She had the type of personality that inspired the people around

    Narrative Essay On Grief

    • 466 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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.…

I am strong because I have lost, and I am successful because I have gained.…

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.…
