Unlike Lauren Winner who had said she has been lucky to not have experienced much death in her life, I have had very much experience with death. When I was four years old my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with stage four inoperable lung cancer. My mom and I went with her to every appointment—chemotherapy, radiation, scans, check-ups, etc.—and she was eventually cured. She had always said that the reason she lived through it was because God wanted her to be able to see me grow up, and I have always thought that there was some truth to that. She went ten years without recurrence, and the doctors had said she was officially cured of cancer, but one day it came back.
The whole time I told myself and dad that she is going be okay, she was in hospital before and came home. My mother die at age of 45-year-old left husband, four daughters and one son. I look back and think about how I could not go in her room and see the way she looks. My mother was rip of life and just a shell of flesh soul gone to the heavens.
Maximum Ride In James Patterson’s novel, The Final Warning, there are a group of kids who are not like the rest of the world. These kids have been genetically altered to look like humans, but have the ability to fly in the same manner that birds do. The kids: Maximum, Fang, Gazzy, Angel, Nudge, and Iggy, have been tested on and have been held captive for a sliver of their lifetime. In this particular novel, Patterson is using the flock as a literary tool in the fight against global warning.
Everyone will lose someone or something to death, it is unavoidable. Someone important to me died when I was around seven or eight years old. One hot summer day, while my mother and I were out running errands we got a phone call. Riddle Hospital’s emergency room called to tell my mother that my grandfather had fallen outside of his home.
The radio program I chose was Mother-in-Law Murder. The background music was very loud and distracting, making it hard to get into the feel of the program at first. There were issues with the audio stream that made it difficult to listen and lead me to find another way to hear the program. Lots of strange sounds in between scenes made me more conscious of reality and prevented me from fully submerging myself into the program. I was listening alone but had to deal with people coming in and talking to me, making it hard to pay attention.
ID#513295 who entered the trailer to locate the body and declared time of death at 1934 hours. Roberts did not disturb the body, nor the scene. The deceased was later identified by his Florida Drivers License as William Gilley. I spoke with the property managers Mike Kenny, and Brian Fannon. Kenny advised they received a call from Gilley's boss who grew concerned when he had called out sick and then did not show up for work on 10/22/15 when he was scheduled.
I knew that death occurs within everyone’s lifetime, but I couldn’t accept just shunning loss as a solution. Frankly, I didn’t know who or what I had left in
Her passing was a major loss because she was the only person that really loved me she taught me how to cook, we went fishing and we always attended church due to her spiritual beliefs in the lord. Foremost, she taught me how to pray and read the bible. Lastly, we took care of family member’s children and I took care of her in reality and the family member’s children at a young age. She needed me there because she was overweight and had a considerable health issues besides her heart.
My mother is a lone parent for the past 21 years or since the birth of her first born. Since then, she has raised all of her four children single handedly as there are no other working members of the family. She is the only one providing for our financial needs with no support received from our relatives. With her as our only source of income, the expenses of our family consume most (if not all) or her salary. We have minimum to no extra income for luxury.
The time I had I different experiences is when my dad disappeared out of my life in 2010. My Dad said he was going on a business trip and won't come back till the end of October and he won't be able to take me to school. It was all in a voicemail, and no "I love you" at the end of the voicemail. Tears running to face because he was leaving for a while and I didn't get to say goodbye.
I’m sorry about your poor mother. I remember when I had first heard about the incident. I felt all the grief for you, I couldn’t imagine what you must be feeling right now. I remember back when I was a kid lots of trauma had happened to me and my close family and friends. A freak accident had happened to my best friend.
At exactly nine in the morning, my mother was brought into the operation room. I was sent to the waiting room and all I could remember were all the good times I had with my mother. I started to cry just thinking what would happen if my mother passed away. How was I going to take care of my little sister? How our lives were going to change completely.
Here I stand sweat stained while rain pours over my exhausted body, I had to keep going around the lake again to reach my goal. My head was spinning from the extra humidity in the air. This is the turning point for me, pushing myself further than I have ever gone before. I didn’t know if I could do it alone…. but I never gave up: I had determination to finish my run.
When you hear the word death or you hear that someone has died today in the news or on the television I know a lot of people think “Man, I feel sorry for the family that they have to go through that.” or they thank god that it was not them or their family members.” Sadly though people try to push away death and push away the fact that everyone dies at one point in time. This is even truer when they witness their own family member in the hospital with a critical condition that the doctors cannot fix even with modern medicines on the doctor’s side. Another such time would be when a person’s family member is diagnosed with an incurable sickness that is fatal.
I caught myself getting furious at even nominal things. I thought a lot about how I was going to survive without her being here. I thought I was moving on, until one day someone asked me, “ If you had one wish what would it be?” and the first thing I thought was to spend that one wish on my mother.
