I believe I had the perfect life. Because I was about to ______ my high school, and on my way to college, I had great friends and a loving family. There was nothing ______. But I spoke too soon.

It was around 9:25 a. m. that I heard the news that would ______ my life forever. My brother Zach had been in a car accident. He fought for five days before he ______. That day, I became an only child. I felt extremely ______.

After Zach’s death, I found ______ in food. I ate, then I slept, then I ate again. I couldn’t cry. I could hardly feel anything, and I was ______. I stopped building relationships for fear that they would end just as ______ as Zach’s life. Also, I became nervous about any potentially ______ situations —driving late at night—but I couldn’t express this fear of life ______ I wanted to be strong for my parents. I saw my parents’ ______ worse than mine because of the losing of their son. I didn’t want them to ______ me. I also experienced a lot of ______, because I was angry about why the sadness had happened to me, and I never ______ from this emotion.

Now, it has been nearly five years since Zach’s death. I don’t ______ life anymore: I face it bravely. I ______ my friendships and began socializing more. I even ______ Zach’s story with people around me. Although my new friends never met him, they know about Zach.
