An embrace is sometimes all that we need. Breathing and melting into it, drowning into its sadness. Maybe, or maybe not ? Else, how do you manage to get past the enormous loss of a loved one. It is a tad bit uncouth, although I don't know whether on God's part or destiny's. This month, 3 of my students at the school have lost their fathers. I won't say I know what kind of a storm is whirling inside them, because I don't. Their loss is humongous and I can't even begin to imagine what pain they must be going through. Living through a time like this at an age where football seems to be the most important thing in the world is unfair. I don't know whom to blame, but what I do know, is that nobody deserves to go through a time like this. Just the thought of losing anybody around me makes my eyes water. They say, its just a phase, I don't trust them. How can you get past a phase where somebody loved you more than their own lives ? How do you forget your first super hero ? How do you gather the strength to make it all seem better when clearly it won't ever be the same ? Nobody can.
I pray for them and wish them all the best in life.
It's unimaginable for those who haven't had to experience it. :(
ReplyDeleteI couldn't imagine my dad dying. He's one of the few people in my family who I really like and feel safe with and close to. My thoughts are with your friends, it's not something anyone should have to go through, especially a young person.
ReplyDeletethat rush of emotions inside you is so clearly visible...feeling someone else's pain needs a lot of courage too...ur right, no one can replace a loved one...and in times like these friends like you can be great pillars of support..cheer up..
ReplyDeletethis is so incredibly intense. best infidelity story. :)

Thats a very touching and emotional post and full of empathy .
ReplyDeleteNobody deserves to go through a time like this..Very true!
ReplyDeleteI could still feel the loss of my granny who passed away when I was in sixth! She was the one who loved me the most! Even today, I could feel her absence. Whenever I think of her, I wish she was alive!
I'll pray for them too!
So true Ayushi, it's so easy as a friend to say everything will be alright and that phases like these happen, but it's so painful.
ReplyDeleteYou are a compassionate soul. I am touched by your gesture. All I wish to say is that no one is unaware of the universal sweep of death yet it is something which can be best described by those it has touched somehow.
ReplyDeleteReally touching. . yeah, its really hard when the people we love and care,leave to an another world all of a sudden and we cant even convey what are all we have left to tell them. Also its too sad that we still can hear their voices inside us when we visit the places they have been living for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHi Ayushi, new to your blog, very touching post, a parent's loss is huge loss indeed. some voids can never be filled.
ReplyDeleteI hope they cope up with this loss..
ReplyDeleteand you, for seeing them through this *hugs*
Death of loved ones leaves a lacuna that can't be filled with the passage of any amount of time. My cousins lost both parents when the younger one was just 7 years - first my uncle then aunt within a gap of three years. No amount of love we shower can ever make up for their loss. They lost their childhood so early that it pains me to look into their eyes.
ReplyDeleteThey do go about their daily routine like everyone else but not a day goes by without remembering their loss.
We can only pray for your friends to have the strength but even that is not enough to deal with their loss :(
my heart goes to them , life is such and its the eternal truth.. I know how hard it is .. I got that dreaded call at 4 in the morning ..

Ah. Aching. It always is there. Never goes. But friends like you, make them forget about the pain for a while :)
ReplyDeleteThere is little one can do in such situations except to empathise and share the grief! The fact that your heart goes out is an indication of the love you have for people around you, Ayushi!
