In life one will endure many up's and down's,good times and bad times.

No matter who the individual may be,there's a good chance at some point in their life they will encounter a significant event that will alter their life.People say it is how you bounce back from that event that makes you who you are.I feel it's an accumulation of what happens before,during and after that makes a person who truly they are.

If one asked me before July 29th,2013,I couldn't have told you any significant thing that has ever happened to me,But that day in July has totally changed my life.Its what has shaped me into the person I'm right now and who I'm going to be for the rest of my life,it was the last thing to complete who I am.July 29th,was the day when my mother lost her life.

There was no chance to say good bye like there is in the movies,no tearful confidences.My sisters screamed,my father was helpless,my brother stood frozen,and I.................

Being the youngest child I was very close to my mother.The closeness I felt to my mom meant her death left an even larger hole.Everything seems infused with death.I am no longer the fun-loving girl I'd been before.I am living with broken dreams.When I see other girls of my age with their moms,I get a pang for what it would be like if she was alive.

whenever I close my eyes,I pray that I could go back in times,to the day,or may be to that Ramadan.I pray that someone would tell me that day had never happened.

Going through my twenties without a mother has made me self- reliant,You have to learn how to mother yourself.It has made me trust my own advice and feelings,desires and decisions.There's no one to watch out for you in that way,no one to comfort you like your mother did.

I dream of my mother frequently,and in my dreams she's alive and nothing has changed,but these dreams are not those which always come true.

Witnessing the death of your dear one changes your life.

Grief is an endless experience from which you never completely recover......
