How funny that some of the uttermost remarkable stories can come from your closest loved ones, we find these stories that intend ourselves to think twice about life. My grandmother, She continues to be my loved one that has this story that makes me think twice about death. This woman has known this story for thousands of years and it was the first I have heard of it. I was completely and undoubtedly interested in her story. I don’t believe that maturity comes within age, it comes through experiences and  life lessons as an example, I am only 17 and yet I handle death better than my parents.
I learned outside of school about life after death, when it came to life after death, it always seemed to be ideas or beliefs never fact. I never knew my grandma passed away, only to relive again 4 times in her life, this interested me because I would be learning a story of my family member instead of a stranger. 

My grandma was “6 months old when this first happened” to her, she was still a young baby and can’t possibly remember this story she shared with me. Her mother, brothers, sisters, and other of her loved ones have all shared the same story with her with no differences. Others might express their feelings differently compared to my grandmothers, others would express godly, bright, sorwing, and other positive views. My grandmother only had one thought in her mind “I just wanted to sleep.“ she went on to say “It sounds scary, Im scared it might happen again.“ Others believed that one who dies remembers their loved ones before passing, “I didn’t want to think of my kids? I wanted to sleep, but the nurses kept asking me questions about my youngest child’s name.“ with this reply it was obvious that it may not always be true.

Once when my grandmother transformed into a cold and breathless body with no blood pumping through her veins that she slept in her own coffin.  Of course she was too young to remember all the details, but her mother explains “you began to cry, we took you out of the box and you seemed afraid, but yet calm to get out of there.” my grandmother was dead for 24 hours, which caused her mother to “dress me in a white dress, place candles and flowers all around me”, she was long gone. My grandmother had been taken to the hospital more than twice, to be saved. Yet, every doctor they went to claim her to be dead, no pulse no life.

My grandmother only had one experience that she remembers clearly, it took place ten years ago in the warm summer. My grandmother became greatly ill to her stomach, which ended her up in a hospital for two nights. “the nurse kept talking to me about my kids asking me “how old is your youngest child’s name?” “how old is she?” i replied to them “i just want to sleep, I don't want to answer your questions anymore. I just want to sleep.”suddenly my stomach no longer felt pain.” she then explained to me how she passed. A wave of tiresome come over her, she felt weighed upon her stomach but no pain. She explains to me she felt as though she began to fall asleep, she no longer could hear the voices of the nurses and the doctor. She wasn’t thinking of her kids, she only thought of sleep and how much she longed for sleep. When she had awakened the nurse explained that they  used electric shock on my grandmother. “you left us for a few moments, we didn’t want you to sleep, we wanted to keep you awake that is why we continued to ask you questions. you left us and now you’re here again.“ the nurse explained, turns out they did use the electric shock to bring my grandmother back to life. She stopped breathing and she no longer had blood pumping through her veins, she was gone.

“I am still afraid to this day, if I die, but not quite and they bury me, but I come back to life too late, than I will die buried underground.” my grandmother answered me when I asked her if she became afraid this situation could happen once again with her for the fifth time. My grandma seemed to show a feeling of sincerity, that events such as this happen and there isn’t much you can apply to this problem. That is something I learned, also life can be full of surprises. I had never thought twice “well maybe they're not dead and just in a deep sleep.” and now.. it seems as though I worry about those who die. Where can they possibly go? I’m not sure, but I am sure there will be continuous stories to find out.
