In memory of ...

Today I learnt of a sad news. So heart-wrenching, that I did not care where I was ... tears were just flowing. Maybe I was highly emotional at this point. Maybe I understand how it feels to be experiencing such a loss.

At times like these, friends would want to be of some help. In any way. Be present at the hospital. Home visitation. Just ... anything. But now, the most important thing is to allow grieving. You cannot possibly understand how it feels unless you yourself have gone through the same loss. I have. Therefore, I know what I'm talking about. Times may have passed, but you will never forget the loss ... ever.

What's needed now is the presence of the very person who's on the same journey as you do. The ups and downs. The joys and tears. For others, let this be a private moment until the grieving passes.
