They also tell her about how intelligent she was and how she liked flowers. Dr. Benson who gives Walker the real diagnose of her death tells her that she died of  heart stroke which amazes Walker with the fact that Zora was fat. Walker was astonished to hear that Zora had health problems because of the way she ate. When they find Her grave stone she concludes that Zora was forgotten about and that they didn't care much for her. The way her grave is surrounded by tall grass and unattended makes Walker think she didn't have a proper burial. The search of Zora made Walker realize that her culture has learned how to cope with grief by having laughter and merry thoughts of the people who have died. As she searched for Zora and gained more information with every clue she found , her awareness grew too by taking in every piece of new information she didn't know.
