Life After Death : Short Story

“I...I don’t know. Sometimes I wish dad would just come back. And other times I wish he was never alive. He left us, to suffer with an alcoholic mother, while he’s probably living a good life with another wife who’s 20 years younger than him.” I rolled up my sleeve, tracing the scars on my wrist. We stared at the passing cars, hoping one of those was mom’s.

“I known this is a tough time, Charles, but we have to stay positive,” Mother said.

I took his arm, hoping to offer a certain amount of consolation. “No, son, it’s not right,” I replied. Scout, followed behind, lost in her thoughts as we walked home. Upon arriving at the house, Alexandra greeted us at the door.

Finding pleasure in talking about his incredible life with Helen and their children, he became emotional. ”My Helen was the most gorgeous woman in the world, but why did she leave me like that?” He asked, as tears filled his eyes.

“Thank you my Lord,” the man expressed. “My mother would’ve never survive from the heartache of losing another child, especially one as special as her.”

There I was, moments ago, on my deathbed at twenty years old moments ago and now here .

We feel as though you had gotten on the wrong path by one minor mistake. You were supposed to sit with your neighbor, Leon, your first day on the bus, but your bus driver changed the seating arrangements too late for us to notice.

For millennia, humanity has been plagued by the issues surrounding life after death because the only way of truly knowing what happens is to actually experience it, by dying.

Bereavement is an issue that affects families all across the world. It is often hard for parents and families to comfort bereaved children as they are grieving too. Grieving parents many times ‘‘feel like they are losing their minds” (Dickens). But if parents are actively involved in helping their child’s healing process then children can learn coping flexibility and resilience and can deal with their grief in healthy ways. However numerous parents are “too emotionally wrought to comprehend the grief of their remaining children (Dickens). They, as well as other family members, experience symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and complicated Greif as they struggle to cope with the loss of their parent, spouse or child.

After getting out of the shower and dressed for school I had time to spare so I decided to make sure everything was ready and eat some breakfast. I turned to look at my phone, after deciding to turn it on, and all I saw was a list of text messages from my mother. I normally don’t get that many texts, that early. I knew something bad must have happened. I unlocked my phone and began to read the messages. My great grandma had died; an influential person for me and my family.

“He was on his way home last night when another car had crossed the median and caused a head-on collision with Jaron. When the paramedics got there, he..he hadn’t made it. The paramedics knew how to save a life but didn't make it there in time to save his,” she said while trying to hold her tears

“My mom wanted the best for me, but life was so hard for her. When she left, I had
