The Hardest Thing In Life

900 Words4 Pages

Since the upcoming of the world we now know and inhabit, humans have always had the natural need and instinct to interact with others along with the environment, forming an intertwined trait of similarity between them. However, the way in which each of them interacts depends on their previous experiences. Whether good or bad, these relative experiences had a tendency to reflect on and shape their personalities. The occurrence of an experience relies strongly on how a person approaches a situation at given-hand.

“When Death laughs, no one else does” - Amy Neftzger. The hardest thing in life is to lose a person you confide in, a person that has helped you grow and prosper in many aspects of your life. In April 2014, a very dear friend of mine passed away. The accident happened so suddenly and had come out of nowhere. I still remember the state of shock I was in upon hearing the news, I literally had no words to respond. In life, seldom does one stop and appreciate that he is alive. True that it had been the hardest transition I had faced, and am still facing, but I realized I could not just sit around and sulk. As cliché as it may sound, I came to the realization that he would not want me to be that way, and so I got up and started appreciating being alive and healthy, which lead me to volunteer at the Medical Center during the summer. The idea of working around patients would have perhaps irked me a few months prior to the summer, maybe a few days prior to the incident even, but over time I actually found that it helped bring back some joy into my life. Now to me, I feel like I may owe it to his memory to work and bring out the best in me that he knew was always there, and so since I have been genuinely trying to bring out the best version of me I can

Help can be needed not only from relatives and peers, but also from the experts. Strong grieving is more than usual, but life must eventually carry on. Death can be both interesting and frightening at the same time because nobody knows what happens afterwards.

    Death is not so light a concept as to glance off of those it does not take. Oftentimes, when death claims someone close to you, it seems easy to fall into a lethargic pit of despair, contenting oneself only to dwell on the morose incontrollable nature of the universe. I know I felt this way, especially with the guilt laid upon me with the death of my brother. I do not claim to know anyone else’s grief, or to know the best way for anyone to deal with the loss of such a beloved girl. I do know, however, that “when you lose something you love, faith takes over” (Tan 2166).
