Recommended: The grieving process reflections

It was a warm fall day after school when my mom told my siblings and I the bad news. When we got home and walked up the front steps to our porch, my mom opened the door and gave us a tight hug. We were all nervous about what my parents were about to tell us. I could see that my mom’s eyes looked wet from crying. They told us to sit down, and we couldn’t have been prepared for this news. That’s when they shared the horrifying fact with us. Our Grandpa Gary had passed away that day. My mom said that she has just got the call from her sister Peggy an hour ago, and rushed home from work. Will and Libby and I cried for a very long time, and my parents just kept on telling us that it was okay. I felt especially bad for my brother Will because he had a very strong connection with my grandpa and thought of him as a super hero. My mom and brother went up north that night because they were going to see all of my aunts and uncles. The whole next day at school I cried and cried and Mrs. Upp, my fourth grade teacher gave me a hug. When I got home from school my brother and mom …show more content…

When we got up north we started to cry and all gave Grandma Pat tight long hugs. That night we started a fire and went around in a circle and each shared a funny story about grandpa. The lake seemed to be a lot quieter than it usually was without Grandpa Gary. On Saturday, we went to our grandparents church for grandpa’s funeral. All of our relitaves and all of Grandma and Grandpa’s friends were there. My cousins Morgan, and Mallory, Libby and I walked to the back of the church and grabbed some of the things of Grandpa’s. All of our faces were wet with tears and we all gave each other hugs before we sat

  • 9/11: A Short Story

    871 Words  | 2 Pages

    My mother and brother were with me, taking it all in themselves. My brother was 10 and not a very serious person. I didn’t think it would affect him very much. My mother was a different story. She was about to lose her last living parent, the one she was close to, and although I couldn’t see it physically, I know her heart broke into billions of pieces at the sight. My grandmother, who had turned 88 less than a month before, was diagnosed with pancreatitis not even a week before and was now going to be taken off life support. Several of her organs had failed already, including her kidneys, so my aunt had been forced to make the hardest decision of her life.

    One of my earliest memories of Grandpa begins with us driving to the Monmouth Park Racetrack. We sure did love to go to the track and root for Julie Krone or one of our other favorite jockeys. He loved challenges, and he especially loved the challenge of picking the ponies. He would read the race programs in the Asbury Park Press and usually pre-pick most of the day's favorite horses before ever leaving the house. Still, on arrival, we always bought the program and maybe a race sheet or two before entering the track grandstand. After picking up a couple of seats right around the finish line or maybe a little past it, back to figuring he'd go. As he went, grandpa would always point out the horses that had won recently or looked like they were due. "I have a feeling about this one" he'd say.

  • My First Experience With Death

    I cried in my room for hours wishing my dad would not go, a whole month without him seemed like the end of the world. I would have no one to play hockey with, no one to tuck me in at night and no one to eat donuts with every Friday. My dad tried to console me but I was too angry to listen to him, I suddenly hated my grandpa for causing my dad to leave me alone. At the airport my dad gave me a long hug and told me to be brave since I was now “the man of the house,” (even though I am a girl), I had to take care of my mom. Promptly this made me suck in my tears and stop acting like a “loser.” It was hard repressing my feelings, seeing my dad leave made my eyes tear severely but I held them back, the man of the house does not cry. Time went by faster when I was at school, I had less time to miss my dad. About two weeks later, my mom got a call from India, my grandpa had died. My mom broke down crying, she slammed the phone across the room into the wall. I felt scared to appr...

    You're the most important person in my life Maria. I want you to know that the bond that we have is something very few people experience, and I value it tremendously. The smiles that you put on my face and the happiness you make me feel are things I'll never be able to repay you for. We've been through a lot, the best of times, and the worst of times, but at the end of the day I pray to the man above each and every night and thank him for putting such a beautiful angel in my life. The angel that has the prettiest heart in the world, the angel that has the soul and personality that captivates me more everyday.

    I felt compelled to sit down and write the two of you a note of gratitude. It’s been a very difficult past 2 ½ - 3 years, to say the least, and yet it is such a relief to know that at long last, Grandma is at peace. As I prepared emotionally for this weekend, I fortunately went into it with a very burdenless heart. There have been so many tough decisions that have been made (most of which my two-generational separation from Grandma have kept me happily oblivious).

I took a deep breath and was about ready to tell them the whole truth. They already knew too much. But right before I could speak, I became suddenly unspoken-less. They gave me this look, not a look of sadness, more like a look of pride and honor. They both huddle close to me and gave me a hug. The words that came from their mouths next. I 'll never forget
