Personal Narrative: Dealing With Death

Sometimes things can be hard, but can get a lot better with company. When my parents passed, I was devastated. I was completely broken until my grandma bought me my iguana. His company there has helped me feel a lot better through and through. Dealing with death isn’t always an easy thing to do by yourself.
Early into my teen years, my mother died, and not too long after that my father followed, and I wasn’t happy at all. “It’ll all be fine.” My grandma said. I was sure it would be; for some reason I wasn’t directly upset with the passings, but I was still upset nevertheless. I wasn’t sure what to do with myself so I tended to sulk and be sullen.
Naturally, I was depressed, and desperately wanted to not feel abandoned and forgotten. Everything felt as if it were falling apart, and I was the center of devastation. Lots of other minor events happened after my dad passed, so everything I try to maintain as normal seemed to crumble. Not wanting to be alone, and loving animals, I begged my grandmother for an iguana which I had spent months researching.
Hanni would even cuddle me when I was upset, and seemed to say “it’s alright.” After I got Hanni, he seemed to bond to me, even if he hit me with his tail and bite me for food. Overall, I think having him made me feel so much better; getting him was a big highlight in my life.
