Losing the Loved Ones
2 days ago, my friend made a visit of condolence to her colleague who lost his son due to motorcycle accident. The boy was only 15yrs old and said to be the most favorite kid of their parents (since he’s the only son, a good son indeed, apparently). My friend said “it was heart breaking when I saw the mother praying Surah Yaasin while holding her dead son’s arm”…I cried at once. As a mother, I instantly imagined the agony she endures.
Watching the news last night about earthquake in West Sumatera, my so-called-ancestors-land, I couldn’t hold the tears from my eyes…it’s so sad. The children were terrified and crying, people seemed desperate, wondering about the wellbeing of their loved ones, seeing their houses fall apart and ponder on where to sleep at night.
I cried again…
While looking at my son sleeping so peacefully and safe in his blanket
I could never imagine how devastated we must feel should anything bad happens to our baby boy
It’s never easy to lose someone you love
It hasn’t happened to me yet, but for sure it will, sooner or later
You might say “how would you know how it feels?”
I could say that because, the thought of losing my loved one is painful enough, let alone experience it
Wondering how terrible it must be for those people who lost their children
A friend of mine says that losing a child is much…much harder than losing parents
For me, I don’t know…
I guess it’s too hard, even to imagine
