Two New Doors Grandma ordered to build two new doors in our house. A neighbor warned her,”Building a new door means a person will die in this house.” Grandma didn’t give a shit; however, grandma and grandpa had fatal diseases at the same year, both cancer. “Block the two doors,” said grandma, at the final moments of her life. The story made me scared. What if I do something that can cause my death. This thought had haunted me for a while, then I realize that the death of my grandparents were meant to be happen. The two new doors were just the signals. They are not the reason.

the death of my grandparents: you should remove the "of my grandparents" before deciding if the following verb should be was or were.  "the death was meant to happen".  In this phrase, the subject is not grandparents, but is death which singular.  If you write "the deaths of my grandparents", then you can use "were".
