The Sinclair family lost three people that they loved very dearly. The four liars did an inexplicable and illegal thing. They committed arson and were killed in the act. All but one: Cadence survived. Johnny, Mirren, and Gat died in a fire accident late into summer fifteen. Cadence does not recall the accident but everybody in the Sinclair family is grieving for their deaths and Cadence’s suffering. Not only should people make memories but they should make memories with people they care about. This is what the Sinclair family wishes that they would have done. The Sinlcairs do not always get along. They fight and disagree over things that are not always important. People fight over different things for different reasons. The Sinclairs were fighting over Harris’s wealth. Harris’s daughter wanted the money but …show more content…
People are important to their friends and family in different ways. Friends and family spend time together because they want to see each other and make everyone feel important. As soon as one loses somebody though, they wish that they had spent more time with that person. “I read them all, but you can’t be mad at me for not answering. It feels like homework, typing and staring at the stupid phone or computer.” (Lockhart 81) This is significant because Mirren is no longer able to respond. Cadence misses her so much; she wants to believe that Mirren is still alive and well. However, everone misses the liars and wishes that they would have spent more time with them. The Sinclair family misses the liars that died but no really spent time with Johnny, Mirren, and Gat except for Cadence. The four Liars mainly spent time with each other. They spent time together at Cuddledown and Red Gate, on the beaches, and taking walk. They talked to each other all the time, at any part of the day. In other words, they spent time with the people they most connected
Loss is a phenomenon that is experienced by all. Death is experienced by family members as a unique and elevated form of loss which is modulated by potent stages of grief. Inevitably, everyone will lose someone with whom they had a personal relationship and emotional connection and thus experience an aftermath that can generally be described as grief. Although bereavement, which is defined as a state of sorrow over the death or departure of a loved one, is a universal experience it varies widely across gender, age, and circumstance (definitions.net, 2015). Indeed the formalities and phases associated with bereavement have been recounted and theorized in literature for years. These philosophies are quite diverse but
People go in and out of our life. I have experienced these different losses throughout my life. I remember it was during the summer of second grade right before third grade when I lost my grandfather. I cried for days and when I first found out I chose not to accept it, but later on I realized he truly was gone. I still remember his smile, his laughter, and his kindness and I continue to remember these things because they're the only way I can hold on to him. A different kind of loss I experienced in my life is when my best friend Mahru moved away to Kazakhstan while I was in third grade this loss wasn't permanent, but it wasn't temporarily . These things taught me that people leave but, they are never truly
Barb blames Janice for Anne's death to hurt her and make her feel guilty, not knowing that Janice already feels guilty but does not express it. However, Barb does not think about the challenges Janice might have endured but is angry because she is not the ‘ideal Janice’ that she had been expecting. Barb is too busy and eager wanting to express her anger towards Janice that she cannot relate to Janice’s problems and the struggles that she goes through. Barb’s lack of sympathy towards the unexpected changes in Janice’s life only results in a bigger gap in their relationship. Once Barb and Janice start talking, Barb is again angered by Janice’s quietness and her unwillingness to strengthen their relationship. However, she does not make an effort herself to understand why. Barb says to Janice: “You told us the facts. I don’t know one damn thing about you, the person” (36). Barb is annoyed and frustrated by Janice keeping to herself, she cannot understand her.

She recalled swimming on the tiny beach alone, diving into the ocean and other bits and pieces, but most of it remains a blur. Her mother and her aunts took her to the hospital nearby and the doctors figured out that she is suffering through hypothermia,respiratory problems, amnesia, and traumatic brain injury. Sadly, since Cadence had all of those problems with her health she underwent vomiting,horror,migraines,blackouts,weight loss, terrible doctor visits and much more, but that wasn’t even the worst part. All Cadence wanted to know was what happened. She wanted her mom to tell her memories of the summers before. Her mother tried,but it didn’t work that well so she gave up. Also the doctors said that it would be better if she could recall on the memories by herself so that just gave her mom another reason to stop trying. “You began asking me the day you woke up in the hospital. ‘What happened? What happened?’ I told you the truth Cadence, I always did, and you’d repeat it back to me. But the next day you would ask again.” That quote shows that even if her mother tried as hard as she could Cadence just couldn’t remember. Her mother wouldn’t allow her go to Beechwood Island (the private island) until summer 17. Anyways, Cadence finally got to go back to Beechwood to see the Liars and her family. While she was there it was different; the aunts told the cousins to be nice to her and no one could act normal around her.

Lorraine seems to suggest that since there wasn’t any intention to their actions, and that “they didn’t mean it,” they should be forgiven for their conduct. She is deluding herself to try to escape something she should take responsibility for, and does not want to face the consequences. John too is in a state of denial, stating, “If you ask me, I think he would have died anyway. Maybe we speeded things up a little, but you really can't say we murdered him.” (17-18) John knows subconsciously that he was a major cause of the demise of Mr. Pignati, as shown when he tries to deny it.

I feel like Cadence is being very mature and owning up to the death of the liars. "I wanted so much for us: a life free of constriction and prejudice. A life free to love and to be loved. And here I killed them (Lockhart 208). " This passage proves that Cadence was owning up and admitting to the Liars deaths.

Denny and Enzo became very angry when Denny was accused of sexually harassing a young girl when they both knew it did not happen. The girl that accused him had quelled him, knowing he would get in big trouble. The accusations occurred in the midst of him trying to receive custody of his daughter. He was also upset because his wife’s parents did not think he would be a suitable parent and they thought that they could take better care for her then he could. He finally met up with the girl that accused him of harassing her and said, “ Zoe’s my daughter. I love her like your father loves you. Please, Annika, don’t take her away from me” (Stein 284), to make her realize what she could be taking away from him for something he did not do. She eventually told the authority the truth and Denny got his daughter back.
So the most important factor of dealing with someone who lost someone is to be sensitive. You have to understand what they are going through and realize that only time can heal their broken heart. The healing process is very important when you lose a loved one because there is no set date and time that you will be ready to be okay. Different people have different ways of how they take this and the process of this , some people may need to take a vacation and other may just want to be alone for a few days. For me, talking about the happy memories helped me get over the pain. It’s okay if someone does not want to talk about it for a few days. That does not mean that they are hiding anything or not feeling remorse, it just means that they might handle it differently and they do not want everyone seeing them show their emotions
