When I was little about 4or 5 year ago I had lost the closest uncle in my life. I felt broken inside and wanted to cry my eyes out. I could not believe he was gone out of our lives into a new world, he was a brother an uncle and the world to my family. But as I saw mom by his side crying, I knew that moment I had to push aside my feelings and show my mom I was strong in her eyes. At that moment I knew that I had to be considerate to my mom as she cried because I did not want to show a weaker side of me, but to let her know i’m strong enough not to cry by casting my feelings behind me.
Tragedy marred my childhood, I witnessed my two baby brothers die as infants. My mother passed away when I was only 14 years old. And my father died three years later. However, my aunt orphaned us which helped my sister and I obtain an excellent education, which was unusual for women in
When my great grandma died I was very sad, but her death brought out all the memories me and my family had with her. Opening Christmas presents, celebrating her 100th birthday, and visiting her at her home. Those were all such great memories. It made me sad to think she was gone, but she made me appreciate the more time I have with my family. Time is
I’ve gone through hardships and trying to keep my own family together. Someone very dear to my family has passed on and it was one of the most horrible things i’ve experienced as a young child myself. I was 12 too when i’ve experience loss, at the time I couldn’t cope I was in denial and agony. But eventually I had to learn to grow up and accept what has happened and help my family in the process.
Taking the self assessment helped me to get to know my personality type and based on that personality type it matched me a job. The job it matched me was nursing which was the filled I want to get into. It showed me my strongest part and also it assured me that I am a visual learner. I would not know all this about myself if I did not take the self assessment.
In August of 2011 I found out that my mother had breast cancer. She and my father sat my older brother and I down and broke the news to us. I was stunned, shocked, fearful, and confused all at the same time. I was only in the eighth grade, so I did not completely understand all the ramifications this would bring to my family and me however, I did understand that word…. Cancer.
The day she died, I blamed my parents for not taking her to the vet sooner and the sickness for taking her life. I tried to reinforce myself by saying “she’s in a better place now,” but it felt like nothing could overcome my grief.
This post is about my Aunty Aminata Diallo. She was the youngest in my mother family and she is my mom youngest sister. Even though she died when I was 9, I still remember the good moments I spent with her. She was like a mother and a best friend to me. Whenever I failed at an exam at school or got into trouble, she was always there defending me, taking my side and encouraging me to work harder.
After few years had passed since my grandmother started living apart from her family, she found out that her mother passed away due to heavy labor. My grandmother was twelve years old. She told me that she felt isolated at the time. Before she knew her mother passed away, she
One evening he and I started to dig a grave for Dollie as she watched. I cried with every single time the end of the shovel hit the ground. My father and I loaded up my dog and was off to put her out of her pain and
My grandmother passed away in December of 2014. For the first time in my life, I felt loneliness and abandonment. The morning after she died, I woke up, dragged myself out of bed, and baked cookies. I spent the better part of the day creaming butter & sugar and whisking flour & baking soda. By the end of the day, I must have made a thousand cookies.
“Your grandma has cancer,” These four words were very difficult to swallow at a young age. Dealing with death so young can be very confusing and difficult to cope with. Not only is losing a family member tragic, but losing a family member who you cared so much about can really take a toll on your life. I know it took a toll on me when I lost my grandmother. It still does till this day.
My dad was picking my brother and I up from school. We noticed how sad he looked; he was on the edge of tears. When we asked what was wrong he broke down. He told us our grandfather, his father, passed away. I’ll always remember that moment.
I scored 22 on self-control, but I feel that this is still an area where I need to improve. It’s not my emotional self-control, but just my ability to control how I eat and spend my money. The area of empathy for others I scored a 21. I feel that everyone has a time where they are not at their best. To understand that people have issues that can affect personal and professional lives and they need someone to not judge, but uplift and support.
I always knew deep down, that my mum was not going to make it; however, knowing this did not make it any easier. She died on December 4th 2008. I could not come to terms with her death. Not only was I left with many questions but I also felt like I should have spent more time with her.
