A Chronological Record Of My Experience With Death

On page 180 Gogol remembers how when his grandparents died he had not understood his parents grief and was annoyed by their rituals. When my own grandparents had died I didn’t share my parents feelings of sorrow. I had only met them once in my life and even hen for around a month. I was very young when we had met and I wasn’t that close with them. Those people from my parents home country pass on and my life remains unaffected. It is so strange how we can know someone without really knowing them and the thought that I will someday have to deal with the same emotions frightens me slightly. Gogol also goes through this as he is deeply affected by his father's death. In this day and age where we are so reliant on technology we don’t cherish life as much as we should. Nott just our own lives but others. Afterall we only miss something once it’s gone.

Life often throws many obstacles our way and the approach towards it allows us to grow as an individual. A combination of significant events has shaped me into the person I am today by changing my perspective on life and teaching me valuable lessons. Throughout my interview with my mom, we talked about how death has made a big impact on my life. These specific experiences include losing my grandfather, my friend passing away, and getting a new puppy. My mom and I were able to share similar responses of how I grew stronger due to these events.

During my childhood and early teen years I did not think much about death, because I never experienced it and my parents never mentioned that topic. Death was not something that I necessarily feared only because I never had to think about it. I only thought of death as something that happened to older people and mostly to people on television. Furthermore, I never thought of death happening to me or anyone in my immediate family. Consequently, I had distanced myself from death and for several years managed to ignore my own mortality. It was not until my teenage years that I began to develop anxiety and fear of death after living through certain societal events such as mass shootings, terrorist attacks, and killings of people of color.

Cozy coffee shops, warm summers, friendly hugs…1.2.3. Disastrous events occur all the time. We are always aware that someone, somewhere in the world, is hurtling forwards into tragedy. Tragic endings leave behind unanswered questions, unfulfilled dreams, unspoken thoughts. Those who love you are left behind, in the dust of your presence, spent to forever remember only your memory, not your existence. Crisp slices of toast, piping hot cups of tea, fresh strawberries…1.2.3. We all tend to forget an end exists. We spend our lives compiling as many happy memories as we can, fully enjoying the good days, deeply mourning the sad ones. When tragedy strikes, only then are we reminded that the end is there, and we scurry and try once again to make the most out of

The remorse grey morning awaited. I never knew one person could have such an impact on my life, as well as everyone else’s lives. I always thought everything was just a beautiful fantasy land where everything was perfect. Waterfall coming out of everyone's eyes filled my imagination of what one man can do to a crowd. I asked myself one question, “Why him, why does it have to be him”. The emotions, pouring out of meand I knew the fall of 2006 was gonna be bad.

Why was I the one to get pulled? There were so many people at the party and I was the one to get interrogated? My luck. The officer sat me down at a table in a bland room with non-transparent glass. He sat down across from me and looked at me with a death stare. After about a minute or so, he said “ Hello Mr. Khalifa, I’m officer Marcus Hopson”. I sat apprehensively thinking about what to say. “Okay well you already know what you’re in here for, so start talking” Hopson said. All I could do was look down. Once I decided to talk, I said “What are you wanting to hear from me?”. Hopson laughed and turned around to look at me in the reflective glass. Looking at me more intensely in the glass, he said “Don’t play stupid. We know you were at that

My sister thought of my name when I was a newborn. At the time she was really into a book series called The Babysitters Club, and there was this one character that was named Christie. My sister loved her name so much that she suggested the character’s name to our parents. They agreed, but they wanted to change the Ch into a K. So that is how I got Kristie as my name. I am the type of person who is very quiet and reserved who does not like to talk to people that much.

A husband, father and incredible warrior who held strong, endured unimaginable pain and courageously fought to hold on to every last moment of this life. The similarities to my own loss stir painful memories of my darkest hours. I knew going in, there would be numerous triggers layered into this day. Never the obvious, so I cannot prepare. I do know they often strike without warning, a curve-ball of sorts that take me off guard and often pack enough punch to send my spiraling back down the rabbit hole. And yet, even knowing this high probability of personal pain, I still felt compelled to go to this funeral and celebration of life…and take my kids. The support of loving friends and family can be incredibly powerful and immensely healing at these mournful events.

Do you know the saying “My life flashed in front of my eyes?” Not my life flashing, but my grandma’s life flashed before my eyes. She looked very pretty as she laid there peacefully. She wore her best dress and held the cross that my dad had made for her. All the horror that was in her face 4 days ago was gone, and peace and beauty overcame her body. I saw her on Tuesday, she died on Wednesday, and the funeral was Saturday. When I saw her on Tuesday, she couldn’t talk, and her eyes were glazed over, but the spirit was still in her heart. I could see it, the way she laid, surrounded by pillows and machines, made me feel like she was fighting to not pass in front of her family but to wait until we left. My dad

“Time of death: 05:42.” you have just lost the patient you have been trying to save for the past five hours. Defeated and exhausted, you discard your gloves and begin preparing the body for the morgue. “You can’t save ‘em all!” a colleague utters in a vain effort to cheer you up, and smiling politely, you continue with your work. While the Emergency Room is not always so bleak, this can be the outcome of even the hardest days work.

I received the news of death through a text message. How could something so insignificant bear the fact my good friend had just died in a drunk driving accident? Weeks later they tell me, my friend, the driver, and two others passed a celebratory joint around forgetting to notice an oncoming tree: A tree, that would soon lay decrepit next to the lifeless body of my friend. I have branded this tragedy in my character, hoping for change, and gaining a lifetime of support, I strive to reciprocate.
