Seeing Through the Eyes of A Grieving Mom

Grief is the most devastating emotion a human could feel. It is too strong to be untangled. It could kill someone with a fainted heart. It's like being in a state of calamity. A person becomes helpless, completely lost, almost insane...if your brain wires are not lined up, it will really break.

when I was too lonely

I had a chance to speak with the mother of hubby's friend who passed away last Friday. She asked me to sit down so she can tell me what happened. I told her we went to the hospital that night in the hope to rescue her son. But we were already late. She was trembling. She sounded like she just learned how to talk. The words she tried to utter couldn't come out. Somewhere in the middle of her bewildered face, she mumbled 'unsaon naman nako ni?' (how will I do this?). I just sat there in motionless. All she needed was someone who can listen.

I walked away when I had the chance. But deep down I wanna say I've been there. It was so dark that I see nothing. I could reach but unable to hold.

Tears were about to roll when I opted to grab a cracker. It was so spicy that the water in my eyes went backwards. It wasn't proper for me to cry.
