Narrative Essay
“Forever Promises” The loss of a loved one will leave you feeling empty inside as if the world will never be the same again and nothing will ever be able to heal your pain. But the truth is that time heals all wounds and the world keeps on going as if nothing happened. We all like to live as thought death dose not exists But yet it dose exists and it is amazing how many things we take for granted. We make plans for the day, and don't think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I never thought much about it myself, I am one of those people who think nothing bad can happen to one of the people that I love; death is something that I will never understand the meaning of or why it has to happen so sudden. When I was younger I use to think it will never happen to one of my family members like we each had a shield from death around us , until I was faced with the shock of losing the one person that I would have never have pictured losing so soon, the undeniable truth of my uncle Tony’s death. I don't think anyone really thinks about tragedy until they are actually faced with shocking news. Truth of the matter is the people you love always make you promises, one of their favorite promises is there never going to leave you they promise to be there forever.

My Uncle, he was always constantly around, when my birthday rolled around he was the first one at the door knocking. I would ran as fast as I could to be the first one to jump up and give him a big giant hug and a big kiss on the cheek, with many gifts in hand big boxes little boxes all for me. For Christmas he would be around the family tree helping us decorate the biggest tree he could find in the city witch wasn’t easy. When thanksgiving came around the family would go to Virginia to my grandparents’ house it was something we called a” family tradition”. It was the only holiday

    Grief is an emotional suffering that someone is feeling when someone or something is taking away. (Wikipedia) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross introduced the five stages of grief based on patients facing terminal illness. These steps are typical, but everyone doesn’t go through each stage. You don’t go through the stages in order and they should know that it is normal. The mindset of the individual will depend on the severity of grief they may go through. Grief can last from days to years and the person isn’t aware of this. They may restart their grieving process on holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries…

    Nothing reveals the true meaning of life until it is taken away. Death being the hardest, most tragic and life spiralling event, it can leave many people lost. For me it was exactly that, when I heard the tragic news of the death of my role model, my best friend, my only brother, it tore me apart. The death of my brother allowed me to put everything in perspective. Opening my eyes to the real world, to see beyond what is just happening right in front of me. With my freshman year of high school just starting with enough to deal with, this topped it all. I was lost. No time to say a simple “goodbye”.…

This is very clear in many of the writings and stories that human beings have told throughout history. This obsession about the ultimate culmination of life is heavily expressed in literary works like The Epic of Gilgamesh, Virgil’s The Aeneid, and Beowulf.…

I'm 35 years old and I, William Samith, have watched everyone I've known or love die today. Except one person, Melissa, the woman I love most. I have no idea where she is but that's not stopping me from finding her. I can mourn, but It's not over yet. The tsunami, it already hit Miami, but the scientists, well whatever's left of them, predict that Miami will experience many more natural disasters in the next few hours.

    Sorrow, bereavement, and distress are some reactions to loss of a loved one as a result of death. Even though there are different reasons for a relationship to end, loosing a partner due to death has an amplified effect, and is a source of great grief for the individual left standing alone. Death is a powerful loss. Grieving is a socially constructed phenomenon, which means it is not fixed, rather it is fluid and changes from context to context.…

    Some people laugh and some people cry. Other people shut everyone out. Not one person is the same. Grief also changes people as an individual. It changes their outlook on life, their personality and the way they think of themselves. I know because of what I went through. I changed into a completely different person. Sometimes I think that maybe his death helped me in a way that no one will get. I think it continues to help me to better understand how I react in traumatic situations and what I have to do to cope. This quote helped me continue to find my way to move on, “But grief is a walk alone. Others can be there, and listen. But you will walk alone down your own path, at your own pace, with your sheared-off pain, your raw wounds, your denial, anger, and bitter loss. You’ll come to your own peace, hopefully… but it will be on your own, in your own time.” (Cathy Lamb). Almost a year later, I still persevere to find my…
