Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be pretty difficult for anyone who didn’t meet that loved one, and YB student Jade Padilla is one such person who has experienced this.
The story begins in the beginning of june 2016 and takes place in mexico where jade’s grandma lived and where jade’s mom used to live before she had to leave and move to the united states.
When jade heard the news she was shocked that her grandma passed away and she was disappointed because she didn’t get to meet her grandma.
I asked her if she can go back in time to meet her grandma and she said “Yes I would meet her if I could because my mom tells me a lot of stories about my grandma and I wanted to see how she was if I did meet her and how she would treat me.”
When Jade’s mom heard the news that her grandma passed away it impacted her in a way that Jade’s mom passed out, when Jade’s mom woke up she was heartbroken that she couldn’t see her mom anymore.
When i asked Jade how her grandma passed, she said, “She died because of cancer.” I also asked what represents her grandma, and she said the black ribbon because of cancer.
Jade says she feels more relaxed hanging out with her friends because she doesn’t “have to worry about someone looking at me weird or at home because no one’s there.”
When I asked how the loss of her grandmother affected her she said, "The loss of my grandma affected because seeing when she passed away, seeing my mom really really sad and depressed it made me sad because I couldn’t do anything."
When I asked Jade that her mom enjoyed about Jade’s grandma she said, “when she spent time with my grandma.”
