What Is The Cause Of Rosa's Illness?

To mourn is to be eaten alive with homesickness for the person. That day, I mourned mostly for Granny, who had lost more than any of us, but also for Grandpa, for mama and for myself. I didn't want to visit Granny at the cemetery like Grandpa was doing. That was just her empty shell over there, whereas here I could touch things she had touched, look out on the flowering plants she had looked at and walk through her house" (56).

Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama on February 4, 1913 by her parents James and Leona McCauley. At the age of 2 Rosa’s parents separated causing Rosa to move to Pine Level, Alabama to live with her grandparents. In 1915 her brother Sylvester was born. Then later her parents began to separate. At the age of 11 Rosa moved to Montgomery, Alabama and attended high school which was known as a laboratory school called the Alabama state teachers college for Negroes.

When parks was 19 she married Raymond parks whom was self-educated, but was also 10 years her senior. Raymond Parks was a barber, a long-time member of the National Association

This made me think about what I would do if my mother died. I believe I would probably be very sad, but I would also keep moving in life. I can’t just stop what I am doing because someone has died -- my aunt’s death already taught me that. Everyone has to go sometime; that time will come sooner or later -- it’s inevitable. Starting anew every time someone close dies is a bad idea, because one will never get anything done that way. (84

It is a challenge for many who have lost loved ones and must learn to overcome their loss by using different coping mechanisms and symbolizations. Sebold shows how coping with grief is heard because humans hold emotional bonds with each other and as a result of The Lovely

A set of tragic events plagued Rosa’s life. On top of loosing Matthew in the prime of life, she outlived all but one of her five children. Between Alberta and Cecil she had Henry Edwin born in 1894 and dying a year later. Her eldest, Alberta just after a few years of marriage herself succumbed to meningitis in 1911 at the age of 21 and her youngest Arthur died of the same illness at age 28 refusing treatment. The last tragedy for Rosa was the passing of her eldest son John Cecil in February 1949 from a long battle with cancer. Rosa, along with Ethel,

When a loved when is gone it feels like a hole in the world. With much grief he says, “Never again will anyone inhabit the world the way he did. Questions I have can never now get answers. The world is emptier. My son is gone. Only a hole remains, Avoid, a gap, never to be filled”(33). This phrase describes his emotions and how he views the world without his son. The author gives advice on what to say to someone who is mourning. He says to never say its Ok because its never okay and death is awful. “ What I need to hear from you is that you recognize how painful it is. I need to hear from you that you are with me in my desperation” (34). When some passes away no one really knows what his or her loved ones are feeling because each death is unique and each person is different. The wisest of words don’t even make the pain go away, and all that can be done is lending an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on.

Yet, she still didn’t complain. She knew her life was in God’s hands, that through her struggle He could bring good. And that’s exactly what He did, many were saved at her beautiful funeral because of her. I’m sure that made her smile in heaven. In the ninth stanza, it says “ And Jesus took his own hand and wiped away her tears, And he smoothed the furrows from her face, And the angels sang a little song, And Jesus rocked her in his arms, And kept a-saying: Take your rest, Take your rest.” This is probably one of the most comforting things to hear right now. She had died peacefully in her sleep and then she had awoken in Jesus’ arms in heaven. Her death was a slap in the face to all of us since she had been doing so well. But I think God gives us that time to see the people we love, who are suffering, happy and more like themselves so we can say our goodbyes. He gives us those last memories of them as happy ones. And as the first and last stanzas say, “Weep not--weep not, She is not dead; She’s resting in the bosom of Jesus.” I know I’ve done my fair share of weeping, and I know I still will in the future, it hurt tremendously to lose someone who was like a second mom to
