Sabine Personal narrative essay I have never been one of those people who cry over dead people. My dad’s mother died when I was 9 in 2009. Then, my great grandfather died when I was 13 and my great grandmother died 2 years after. I still didn’t cry. Maybe I just didn’t care that much about them. Or maybe I was too young to understand. The 16th of December 2016 I was really happy. My grandmother was dying of cancer and didn’t have much time left to live but it didn’t matter. I was happy because when I landed in France, I would rush to the hospital and finally be able to tell her everything I had kept for myself for months. Whenever I went through hard times, I could always confide in her. The night I arrived was like a blow to me. W...

                                                                                I had this feeling,
you know when something bad has happened, and you heard 
the news but it doesn’t truly get to you.
                                                            
                                                                                You don’t realise what 
just happened.
                                                            
                                                                                
The moment I truly realised what had happened was when I 
saw her dead body.
                                                            
                                                                                It was there, in front of me, as cold as ice.
                                                            
                                                                                I 
could feel all sorts of emotions flowing through my body.
                                                            
                                                                                It was 
completely new, something I have never felt before.
Memories were passing through my head like a movie.
                                                            
                                                                                Us 
paining together, planting flowers, playing cards.
                                                            
                                                                                I would never 
be able do any of those things again.
                                                            
                                                                                
The moment I cried the most was at her funeral.
                                                            
                                                                                Although I 
couldn’t see her physically, I imagined her in that case, 
regretting leaving me before she could even say goodbye.
                                                            
                                                                                Why 
did it happen so quickly? Why did she have to die the day    was 
coming to see her.
                                                            
                                                                                Just one more day.
                                                            
                                                                                I could have said 
goodbye, tell her I love her and that she can’t leave me.
                                                            
                                                                                Make 
her see that giving up is the easiest option, but not the only one.
During her treatment, the strongest, most passionate and 
courageous woman I have ever met, couldn’t take it anymore.
                                                            
                                                                                
She wouldn’t eat, didn’t talk much and didn’t want to do 
anything.
                                                            
                                                                                It seemed like she just wanted to leave as soon as 
possible.
                                                            
                                                                                She didn’t want to fight for more days in a boring 
hospital..
                                                                                            »
