homework 55

for the project, interviewed my friend, who's grandmother that has just passed away. it was very difficult to really talk about it on behalf that the death was so sudden. he grandmother had a stroke in the morning and fell out of bed hitting her head. they found her laying there and they don't know how long she was on the floor. her and her cousin then picked her up and tried to wake her up but she wouldn't wake up. they then rushed her to the hospital where she was later put on a resperator for a couple hours. they took her off so see if she could breath on her own and soon later die that same day. they planned the funeral for two days after and it was going to last two days. the first day was the viewing of the body and the second day was going to be the funeral.

she said the most hardest part for her was the fact that she has a 20 month old son and then another one on the way and they wont be able to grow up with their great grandmother. she use to live with her too so now she is struggling to find somewhere else to stay.

at the viewing most of her family members were there. since it was short notice not everybody could make it. she said that it was very helpful that a lot of her friends came to the viewing to pay their respects. i asked her what made her and her family choose the burial for their grandma. she said that she didn't really have much say in what was going because she was kind of young. but a lot of the family said the usual "its what she would have wanted."

during the service the next day, they quoted a lot from the bible. her grandmother was very religious. she had multiple pictures of God and Jesus around the house with a bunch of crosses hanging up. i kept hearing the family saying "it was such short notice" .."i cant believe she is gone forever" ..or "it was God's plan"

in conclusion, even though her grandma is gone now, she thinks that she is at a better place and that yes God did accept her and will be looking over her and her son, and soon to be born baby girl. she said that her grandma will be deeply and truly missed. there will be no other grandma in her life.
