Eulogy (I have not experienced a death of someone in my life, choosing my father)
My father was amazing at his job of being a parent. What more could we have asked for than to be loved every day of our life. We weren’t financially stable at times, but he did the best he could do for us, even if he had to work harder. I never really thought of how special he was to me until few friends of mine said they wish they had someone like him in their life, supportive. He’s been there from the start, through elementary school and bullying, middle school and me having wanting to be a gothic because I was hanging out with the wrong crowd, high school, the point where parents realize their children are growing up, and college, where we are adults but have a lot to learn. I’ve been blessed with such parents- the deep feeling of being loved.
He played a huge role in shaping who I am. Again, he advised me into not hang with the wrong crowd, the gothics, because

Every single one. For example, when I volunteered at Ben Taub hospital, in the first few weeks, I had to experience seeing people in their death in the emergency room and having their families come over to say their last goodbye. I got through the day but at night before going to bed, it would break down in tears because I haven’t experienced such situation before. My parents would both come hug me and tell me it’s just a part of life. We are born, live and die. He would make it better by adding “and pay taxes for sure”. But the lesson was that I have chosen the health care field, we all break down because we have feelings but if we become depressed because of such day, then I don’t fit in the health care field. He would always ask me if I could do it after getting home from the hospital. And I would respond that it’s an everyday event and there’s nothing to stop it but we can help the patients and their families get through

    Quite possibly the most impactful event in my life was the death of Harriet Williams. Harriet was a foster mother and a devout Christian. She had fostered six children to adulthood and one of her own. When she stumbled upon me I was only 2 months old and the story she would always tell was and I was so cute that she just had to adopt me but because she didn't want to make the other children jealous she adopted all of them as well. Harriet had enough love in her heart to adopt 7 other boys and two girls all because she loved me. Looking back on it now she probably said that to all of us but it will always be special to me. So for the next 14 years I had a family just like any other family but also unlike any other. My mothers thought was that…

    Nothing reveals the true meaning of life until it is taken away. Death being the hardest, most tragic and life spiralling event, it can leave many people lost. For me it was exactly that, when I heard the tragic news of the death of my role model, my best friend, my only brother, it tore me apart. The death of my brother allowed me to put everything in perspective. Opening my eyes to the real world, to see beyond what is just happening right in front of me. With my freshman year of high school just starting with enough to deal with, this topped it all. I was lost. No time to say a simple “goodbye”.…

    Writing this eulogy allowed me to tap into memories way in the past. Whenever we would come down to visit from Pennsylvania grandma would grasp my wrist and pester me about not speaking creole. I would shrug as not quite sure what to say. Eventually she would let go and this became routine whenever I saw her when I was younger. Also, I was around seven-years-old when grandma came to visit us. On the ride home we began to slap one another on the arm. It was strange but in a good way.…

    I’ve been told the impact of a parent’s passing can carry on for years or forever. I was my mother’s primary care giver for two years. In her last four months, along with hospice, I took care of her full time along with maintaining my full time job. She passed in her home surrounded by me and my other two siblings in January. Just three months later my dad, who was not married to my mom, died unexpectedly in his sleep. I am still in the tender times of grief from my mother’s and father’s deaths. Who would think I could fathom writing about such a sorrowful time in addition to writing about the lessons I learned from my mother’s last months and the graceful way she left this earth. I relive this not only because it is kind of…

    My grandfather passed away and it sent my family and i into a turmoil. It was so sudden and fast we knew we had to prepare for our future without him. That day was the first day ever that my whole family and I sat in silence. No conversations, No cracking jokes or laughter, just silence. It was a day of sadness, but as the strong family we are, we lifted each other up and we accepted it and we made a promise to each other that we would never leave each other's sides. That day made me realize how much our family is united and this day put our strength to the test and we didn't let it break us. It actually brought us even…

    Death was something new to me. I had never had to deal with someone close to me passing. I had experienced my friends losing a grandparent or a distant relative, but it had not affected me terribly much. I always considered myself to be lucky I had not suffered through the pain of losing someone brought. When this finally occurred, the first challenge was presented to me: accepting the fact I didn’t have a father anymore.…

    Growing up, I have attended several funerals and memorials. I have never been around a dead body or witnessed a death. When viewing the body, I am the one you see darting out the back. I have never handled death well. When my sister-in-law was killed in a car accident in 2008, she was the first I had ever seen. I remember her not looking like herself. They had a lot of makeup on her, she did not wear makeup, and parts of her hair were coming off her scalp. I was horrified. She was not at all herself. I had a hard time sitting through the service. Half way through, I went and sat outside crying. Asking what they had done to her. I told myself that day, Never again will I look at the dead. I kept my word and attended 4 more funerals and 2 memorials, but always left before the end.…

    We lose people in our lifetime that are dear to us for a specific reason what really matters is that the time they spent with you while they were alive and how you used that time to show them how much you loved them. At the age of nine I lost my great grandpa who was like another father to me. I remember when they had called my mom to tell her he had passed away she rushed to get her things packed. I was worried because she wouldn't say where she was going until after she was gone because she knew we wouldn't have let her go by herself especially since it was my great grandpa. I didn't think it was fair for him to leave yet there were still many things we had not experienced together. My favorite moments were when we would go to get candy at the little shop that was around the corner from his house in Mexico. The very last time I saw him was two years before he had passed away I couldn't bare his passing. I didn't get a chance to see him one last time because he had passed away when we were still in school my parents wouldn't have taken us out of school to go to Mexico for his funeral. I couldn't forgive myself for not seeing him at least one last time even if he wasn't alive it would've of meant the world to me to at least be beside him.…

    When my step father committed suicide, it was the most shocking yet influential experience of my life. The whole situation expanded my understanding of mortality, spirituality, and of just how fragile happiness is. I can still remember the day that it happened; It was unlike any other day. I was in school when brother picked me up after lunch. We met up with my mother, and brother at my grandmother's house. The entire atmosphere was off. No one was acting like themselves. Immediately I knew something was wrong, even if their expressions and body language were not obvious enough. After sitting in the living room for what seemed like an eternity, I went into the next room where I found my mother who was crying, and when I asked what was wrong…
