Grieving, a process that most of us face, has an affect on the mind and body. Its affects can last long after the persons death, but the impact of that loved one remains long after. It seems as if it was yesterday hearing the unbearable news. I was nine, then, when I was informed that my grandmother, my nena had passed away from lung cancer. My family and I knew the time of her death was approaching but not so soon. It was more of the timing, the internal effect that her death had on me. Because of her passing, I became this thick wall, more of an obstruction. Grieving can help find personal growth, be optimistic and learn to cherish every moment. My grieving process gave me time to reflect on my own life and help me find personal growth.
