The Person I Interviewed For This Project

My subject is my aunt, Florence Lucey. She is a 65-year-old female, who identifies with her gender. She is a white, heterosexual, Catholic, Italian woman who has lived in Connecticut for her entire life. She currently lives in Weston, CT, in the home that she has lived in for the past 20 years. Florence has been married twice; she was widowed in 2003 and remarried in 2014. She has one sister, Donna, my mother, and 4 kids, all who are out of the house. I was able to gather my information over facetime and received real-time data coverage. I will be referring to my subject as Florence throughout this paper.

The person that was interviewed was named Janie M. Brown. She was a recently divorced mother of one. The client’s history is that she is originally from South Carolina, but moved to New York once she was of age to live on her own. She then worked as a secretary and had a child at the age of 21 years of age. Mrs. Brown raised her only on her own and lead a peaceful life. She didn’t marry the love of her life until the age of 46 years

My sixty-year old grandmother, Helaine Bondar, conveniently lives in Baltimore, MD. This made the interview quite convenient, and we were able to sit down face-to-face on her dining room table chairs with a plate of cookies for the interview. "Bubby" as I call her, was born in New York City and lived there her entire youth. She only had one sister, Suzette, who still lives in New York City (my grandmother recalls at this time that my great-grandmother was very fond of French names.) When asked about her grandparents she reminisced on her days with "nanny" and "poppy," her maternal grandparents who practically raised her. She spoke about their personalities. Nanny was the bulldozer go-getter of the family, my grandmother said her favorite phrase was "my way or the highway." Poppy was more calm, and they balanced each other out perfectly. Bubby 's paternal grandparents were Anna and Sol Gross, and despite their close proximity-- they also lived in the Bronx -- Bubby just wasn’t as close with them.

The individual I interviewed was my coworker Andrena’s adopted daughter Ann. Ann came to live with Andrena when she was 8 years old. The reason Anna came to live with Andrena was due to experiencing multiple natural disasters while living in Haiti which caused her to have an unstable living environment. The last event that Ann experienced prior to moving to the US was a flood in Haiti in 2008. Ann stated she was just six years old when the flood happened. The flood was caused after several days of torrential rain. It is reported that the rain left up to hundreds people dead. At the time of this disaster Ann was living with her biological parents and two aunts. Ann refers to her biological parents as her Grandparents since Andrena and her husband adopted her. Andrena’s husband is actually Ann’s biological brother, but she now refers to him as her father and Andrena as her mother.

By the same token, she and her husband been married for twenty-one years to her loving high school sweetheart husband. Due to unfortunate circumstances, she lost her husband in the line of duty. Causing her to become a widow, continuing to survive life without her husband. When I conducted this interview, had one topic in mind that I wanted to learn more about her life as an immigrant and how did influence her life.

For this paper I was able to use previous interviews with her grandmother along with an interview with her mother to collect the information presented.

There are very few records available in records available and of those records there is a limited amount of information. The information provide primary consist of names, date and location of birth and date and location of death. The records only go back to 1870, the family history before that time is unwritten. This holds true for my father’s side as well. All I know of my past before 1870 has been passed down orally. I was able to discover

Prior to women entering menopause there is a transitional period called perimenopause. This phase typically occurs between ages 45 to 55 with menopause occurring at the average age of 51 years (ACOG, 2017& Juve, Schadewald, Youngkin, & Davis, 2013). Menopause is defined as the absence of menstrual period for 1 year. Your irregular bleeding is strongly associated with perimenopause because your hormone levels are currently fluctuating. During this time-period you may also experience intermittent symptoms of menopause. Hot flashes and sweating are the most common symptoms of menopause.
