Sensory Experience- when my grandpa died


See:

White walls surround me like a snake who is squeezing the life out of me.

Everyone in scrubs, all different kinds; plain, animals, princess’s

Everyone around me, hugging me

 

Taste:

The last cup of pudding he would ever give me

hand sanitizer as it makes it way through the air and on my taste buds

Salty tears as they pour down my face

 

Hear:

My tears are silent for I cannot speak but I hear others wale in disbelief

The hum of my thoughts because I have blocked everything else

The heart monitor going flat.

My mother saying at least he was here for 7 birthday.

 

Touch/feel:

The cold floor beneath me

My warm hand holding onto to his cold touch

Death as it pours into the room like a faucet that you can't turn off

 

Smell:

Hospital food as it is taken out of his room

Latex gloves while the nurses unhook the machines

Baby lotion as I lean in and lay my little head on my grandpa’s hand one last time
