SCRIPT OF TED TALK
“Her absence seemed a solid thing, a burden I must carry in addition to my grief... Yet I knew I would
continue to live. Sometimes that knowledge seemed the worst part of my loss”
It was and still is the worst day of my life, that day not only made me miserable but left me with
anxiety issues. I get anxiety when people close to me are unwell, I have a fear of losing people
through death.
It was 2020 when I lost my grandfather in September. Everything was falling apart from then, my
parents, grandmother and everyone in my family were facing difficulties to overcome this grief, the
feeling was emptiness. My grandmother was in a shock for days and she used to cry daily so did
everyone, but then everyone realized somehow that we must move on with this loss of our lives
Because if he would have been with us today, he would have never seen us in this situation everyone
got busy with their life and adjusted with the fact that everyone will somehow have to deal the cycle
of life and death, some people move on some of them don't they suffer with the pain in their heart that
has no painkiller .
Two years passed and it was 2022 a lot of new things happened; we had a new member in the family
a labrador coco my grandmother used to play with her a lot. My elder brother was getting married.
Everyone was happy that finally something good was happening. We were busy with the wedding
preparations it was the month of December. My grandmother was excited, and she did a lot of
shopping for the wedding. Everything was prepared, I bought her a saree just like she wanted. But the
happiness was only for a few days. She met with an accident. Her leg slipped and fell, she got a
fracture on her leg and was admitted to the hospital for 12 days (about 1 week 5 days) she got
operated on and she was happy that finally she would go home and meet everyone. She came home
and I used to sleep with her, so I met her after 12 days (about 1 week 5 days) i gave her a head
message and gave her white Ragula her Favorite. She ate that and slept; an hour later she started
vomiting, sweaty and unable to breathe. It was December she told us to switch on the ac, she vomited
and suddenly she became pale and there she left us forever. There is not a day when I do not think
about her. I felt like a part of my body is no more because I used to spend my entire day with her. I
used to watch movies, series, everything, I used to share everything with her. I got miserable and till
date I cry when I miss her. even writing this made me cry, from that day onwards I have a fear of
losing people through death. She died 20 days (about 3 weeks) before my brother's wedding. There
were mixed emotions. I wanted to be happy for him, but I was unable to keep that feeling because a
feeling of grief and a loss overcame the feeling of happiness. The wedding happened somehow. My
father and my uncle were disheartened, and they were unable to cope with this loss again. Not this
time, the irony part in this was that my grandparents died in exactly same manner, same time same
bed and both died in my hands as this was their wish while they wanted to end their life in my hands
after this even today I have anxiety issues the night when she passed I had a Panick attack .I do have
a fear of losing people I fear death . My uncle being close to her mother (my grandmother) was not
able to cope up with the loss of losing her he died in May 2023 with a heart attack. My dad was
expressionless, and he said I am born to deal with this only, he lost his family that he had from his
childhood. He is left with no guardian. Wherever I go, whatever good things happen to me i remember
them that they still exist in some part of the world, and they are blessings for me and my family. But
these incidents of my life made me stronger, but at the same time left me with a feeling of fear, just
like i mentioned above a burden I carry in addition to grief, yet I will continue to live, this has
impacted me deeply.
