Black Wednesday

The day started as usual, morning day to day activities...had breakfast and drove to the office, after reaching office started the daily activities.

At around 11.30am received a call from husband that his colleagues' mother who  was on ventilation support in a hospital, was no more.

It was a shocking news for me, I could not believe, I had met her few years ago and well built & very active. We had been to their home at Nagaon. 

Losing any of the parents is very painful. I am thinking of the children who lost their mother and more about the husband who lost his partner....what mental state he would be undergoing......years of togetherness, love, care sharing of sweet & sour moments.

She is no more........

She is no more  to prepare favourite dishes for us,

She is no more to call us home during Bihu/holidays,

She is no more to sit beside during our ill health,

She is no more to pamper us, no matter how old we are,

She is no more to hug us and say that we are the best,

She is no more to pat our back and say "don't worry, go kiss the world",

She is no more to play with her grand children, 

She is no more to wipe our tears when we are in pain,

She is no more...................... but she is ....................,

She is within us in the form of blood, running within our arteries/veins.

She is within the breathe we take in & out.

She is the soul and we are the body , body do not exist without soul.

She is and her memory will be with us  till we die,

*Those who we love never go away, they walk along us everyday,

*Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed & held so dear.

May her soul Rest in Peace.🙏🙏🙏 

May God give enough courage to the family members to bear the loss .
