So after last three agonizing weeks of pain and suffering, my cousin died at 3 in the afternoon today! It’s an excruciating moment for our entire family.
Although we were hoping for a miracle and some sort of divine intervention, it unfortunately never happened. The man was a good son, a good husband, a good father and most of all a good brother. He never did anything wrong to anybody on this planet. He lost his father when he was three and now his children are facing the same trauma which he had suffered as a child. Most of all, my heart cries for his mother, who lost her husband when she was very young and now losing her son was the last thing that she had ever imagined! Why is nature so cruel? What has it achieved by leaving two children fatherless, a woman widowed and a mother sobbing over the death of her only son???? This makes me livid and perturbed. The only message that I can give to his children is as in the words of Abraham Lincoln.
“In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now.”
Now the only divine intervention that I am hoping for is that his whole family should come out of this mournful moment at the earliest and that they will have a bright and blissful future ahead!
My dear Brother, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal and may your soul recline peacefully in Heaven. God Bless you and I will always miss your presence sorely!
All my grief and sorrow is summed up by this mournful poem written by Abraham Lincoln.
I hear the loved survivors tell
How naught from death could save,
Till every sound appears a knell,
And every spot a grave.
