Death...

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog.

I have been missing too much, this time it is serious.... My husband and I had gone through 3 deaths pretty close to each other. My husband lost his cousin's husbands, who has been batttling with cancer, and his aunt just this morning also from cancer. And I, I have lost a great grand aunt, of old age...

These death led me to think rather too deep about life...

Life is just short. So appreciate it, take care of your body, health and mind. When we die one day, God won't ask about what people think of you, but about what you have done. HE will also ask how you had taken care of the people around you, but MORE of you that anyone else.

Sometimes, I wonder how life would be without the people I live with everyday, without the face I wake up to everyday, without the hands who cooked for me, who helped me with everything I lacked. I read of friends' ordeal losing someone very dear. Of someone who lost her husband, who lost their moms, dads.. I wondered, how my life would be without these important people whom I love very dearly... Will I cry? Of course, or maybe I'd just shut down and blank out. I don't know.

Life moves on though.. When someone who had lost someone dear, and smiled the next day, please don't judge. Life has to move on, he/she probably smiled to give strength to those weaker than them. For their children maybe, or for their other surviving members.

Some people grief by being alone, some grief by working on something that fills their time, some grief by revisiting memory lanes. Give them room to grief however they want.

Truth be told, no matter how many deaths, I still can never prepare myself enough for it, and I can never feel the pain, not until I go through it myself. Until then, I will try my best to appreciate their presence and make them happy, if not, at least a smooth painless journey...

Have a great Thursday, people...

Allow me to grief & reflect a little while more..

Wassalam,
Jun
