Event That Changed My Life

Event That Changed My Life

It has been two years since my mother passed away, a 42 year old woman, she had left 3 of her children and 5 grandchildren behind. She was taken away from us due to cancer which happened in Kilgore, Texas. I called my mother a week before her death to set up a date to come see her and get lunch with her. When I arrived that day at her place I walked into her room found her in bed, I just thought she was sleeping, but then she did not answer me so I walked over to her checked to see if she was breathing and she was not. I wanted to help her so badly, but I knew there was nothing I can do to being her back. May 17, 2010, the last day my mother took her last breathes, this day is the worst day of my life.

After just a few months of my mother being gone I felt annoyed and lonely because I wanted to be able to just hear her voice again, but I couldn’t. I decided finally to reach out to my family. Even though we were all going through the grief of losing her they were still there for me. They helped me see it was okay to reach out to others about my problem and that I was not alone. My family members were there for me because they wanted to make sure I stayed healthy mentally and physically. Going through the loss of a parent takes a toll out on a lot of people. So learning from the experience showed me that I would like to be there for others to help them through their grief, to just show them that there are people out there that want to help you.
