When trouble comes, it’s your family that supports you.
~ Guy Lafleur
*****
Don’t just share love with the ones you love
Share them your pains as well
Don’t ever think that sharing pains is a selfish thing to do
Being selfish is not sharing your pains when you know they really care
The worst torture
Is to to be totally clueless
About the pains that someone you love has been suffering in silent
One may have crossed over to the other side
Leaving the pains of guiltiness to the ones who have not
Don’t just share love with the ones you love
If you know they truly love you
Share them your pains as well
*****
Two days ago, a very quiet girl, leading a very quiet life of nineteen years, withered quietly away.
The only child so precious to this family of three but being abruptly taken away.
We were being told that it might have been the stress from her final year project or perhaps, as according tot he doctor, a clotted blood was the reason…but her parents couldn’t recall any disastrous event that might induce a clotted blood.
She was the gem of the family, how would they not know if something terrible has happened to her?
Unless, she had chosen not to tell or she just didn’t know how to express?
The actual cause of her death still remains as a mystery and we might never know.
The only thing we can see now is the guilt on her parents’ faces.

Pain shared, my brother, is pain not doubled but halved.

It is healing to share your pain. The infection of pain is brought to the surface and exposed to the light and the air, Strength is gained as we share.

Indeed it is, my friend…
It really hurts so much that I realized I didn’t cry as much as I thought I would during the last day of her funeral.
It hurts to know that this is almost one of the common cause of many family tragedies..and it is always too late to realize the seriousness of the problem until something bad happens…
I do hope that this post may at least bring a little awareness about this issue.
Thank you so much for reading it.
Have a lovely weekend ahead, always~ Cheers!! 😀

How I wish it is only a story, my friend…can you imagine how many times I’ve read the first line of of my phone message in the middle of the night just to make sure that I was not reading it wrongly? The feeling was very surreal…even as I am typing this comment…

I know that feeling Wendy, we are in the same state, as for me, I’m afraid to receive a call in the middle of night because that how i was informed when my mom passed away about 4 years ago, so until now, i always put my phone on silent mode when I’m sleeping.
That’s life.

Yes, my friend…on a brighter note, the unhappy soul that was once trapped in that body can finally escape to a happier world… it is the parents that we are worrying about at this moment.
Anyway, I do hope this incident is able to bring awareness to whoever is reading this (including myself) about this issue while there are still time and opportunities to make things rights before anything bad happens.

This is a really sad story.
My heart goes out to the girl’s family. I can only imagine the grief they’re going through, never mind the blame which they placing on themselves. We strive for so much in the way of perfection in ourselves and others, but we have to remember that if we push too hard, we could push them/ourselves straight off the edge of a cliff.
RIP
Vijay.

Her mother is still grieving and it is quite hard for us to say anything to comfort her at the moment.
