The Loss
CREAK went the door. My mom had just come home from the vet. She then called me from downstairs. I didn’t like the sound of her tone. Was something wrong? Am I in trouble? I dart down there to find out.
I started thinking about the last time she called me like this. It was about nana dying that time. I moped around the house the rest of the day. Hopefully it’s not something related to that!
When I got there mom had a strange look on her face. She and dad had just finished bringing our cat Frank to the vet as you know. He was having problems with his bladder so they went to get him a checkup. He wasn’t with them, which confused me. I asked,
“Where is Frank?”
Mom then said,
“ We had to put him down.”I was so surprised I didn’t even

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    The Last Game “C’mon Blue!” “Get your head in the game!”, a parent hollered from the stands. My mind was muddled from the heat, giving me the cognitive ability of a three year old. It wasn’t the first time I had heard criticism during the game, but I was hoping it would be the last. I vowed to myself that if I managed to make it through the game alive, I would never umpire again.…

    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.…

    A death of someone is never easy to handle, especially when it’s someone you truly care about. Growing up, the subject of death was never really concealed from me. My parents were very upfront about it and taught me that it is part of life. I have experienced multiple deaths throughout my years, both of family and nonfamily members, but only 4 of them really impacted me and taught me lessons. I wouldn’t say that these experiences of death has made me numb to it, but has shaped the way that I handle and look at death.…
