Elephants are very special creatures. During years of extensive research and observation, scientists have discovered that elephants’ mourning pattern is very similar to that of humans.
Speaking to National Geographic, George Wittemyer, a Colorado State University conservation biologist who has studied elephants for a long time, said, “Elephants have respect for their dead, but their interaction with their dead is not something we fully understand.”
He added that these creatures act upon emotion when a member of their herd dies, which is truly fascinating and speaks of their emotional inteligence.
Twitter user Parveen Kaswan shared a video which proved yet again that elephants are able to mourn death. They not only bury the bodies but show respect to the bones later on.
The video shows a number of people and vehicles parked in the middle of the road. The reason why is that a herd of elephants is crossing the street.
What caught the attention of the bystanders was that one of the elephants was carrying something with its trunk. When they took a closer look, they realized that the animal was carrying a dead baby elephant.
The herd then stopped and placed the body of the dead calf on the ground as the rest of the group gathered around it.
“The family just don’t want to leave the baby,” Kaswan wrote in the caption and added that the sight resembled “funeral procession.”
As they continued their journey, another animal took the dead baby with its trunk.

My Grandson’s Emotional Reversal
The Unique Function of Grandparents
Grandparents have a distinct place in the world; they are a source of great love, wisdom, and insight. For their grandchildren, they offer emotional support, direction, and role modeling. They are always willing to listen and offer assistance. Having grandparents entails having friends that are always there for us.
A Story of a Grandmother
A grandmother related a tale about her close relationship with her grandson Simon. Simon listened to her stories and helped around the house throughout their many days together. But as Simon got older, their dynamic shifted. He ultimately stopped phoning and gradually stopped coming. Bewildered and saddened, the grandma told herself that Simon was simply occupied with his pals.
The Debate
The grandma went to the home of her grandson and daughter one day. Simon acted as though she didn’t exist by ignoring her. His disrespect was shocking to his mother, who reprimanded him. Everyone was shocked by Simon’s aggressive answer. “She’s the only grandmother I know who doesn’t give gifts!” he remarked. The grandmothers of all my pals spoil them. She has never sent anything to me.
The Repercussions
Simon’s mother reprimanded him for his materialistic mindset, telling him that spending time with his grandma ought to be sufficient. As things grew worse, Simon stormed into his room, breaking his grandmother’s heart. She never thought that her inability to purchase gifts was the reason for his actions. She went to Simon’s room to apologize, but he persisted in being impolite, referring to her as the “worst grandmother.”
Years Apart
The grandmother made the decision to visit less often since she felt rejected. Simon eventually lost contact with his parents after they relocated to a different nation. The granny was quite lonely and missed them. She was unaware of Simon’s life and he never sought out to her.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
The grandmother lost hope of ever seeing her family as the years went by. Her door was knocked on one day. Simon, a fully grown guy, was in front of her. He apologized in a quiet, regretful voice for his previous actions, acknowledging that they had been painful and stupid. Simon gave his grandma a hug and begged for pardon for their years apart. He clarified that he was too ashamed to contact her until now, even though he acknowledged his sins at the age of 16.
A Fresh Start
Simon disclosed that he had set aside funds to purchase a home within the community. He wanted to live with her so he could take care of her because his company was moving him. Grateful beyond measure, the grandma accepted the chance to be with him once more and granted him her complete forgiveness.
The Instruction
This touching tale highlights the value of understanding, forgiveness, and the special relationship that exists between grandparents and grandchildren. It serves as a reminder that the value of love and quality time spent together surpasses that of material belongings. Let’s value and treasure the unique bond we have with our grandparents.
