Painful, still
How painful it is for parents especially a mother who lost her one and only child. I could not imagine how, because only seeing my daughter in pain or is sick is already hard and heartbreaking for me, what more if I lost her and could no longer see, feel, touch and be with her.
My godmother lost her one and only son last year because of covid and the sad part is, she was not there when his son is in the hospital, she was not there to comfort him, she was away taking care of her sick sister. She thought he will survive, she know that her son is a fighter and still lot of dreams to fulfill. Her son was quarantined and being attended at home, his only company then was his uncle. They thought it was just a simple flu because at first he did not suffer any fever or cough, just that he lost his taste of taste and smell.
His nurse cousin regularly visits him, gave him medicines and check his vitals. Until that last two days, when his oxygen suddenly fell that they needed to rush him to the hospital. Sadly, the hospital near us said they could not accommodate him because they were already full, so they needed to find another one. His oxygen failed to recover. When they rushed him to the hospital, his nurse cousin already contacted my godmother to inform her what was happening. She immediately called some close friends who could help her go home, she needed to see her son. On their way home, her son did not made it, she lost him.
The nurse niece waited for her to arrive first before she learned about the sad news. Tears rolled and everyone felt the pain of losing such a precious child. His son was a good man, a teacher, a mentor and a good son. His passing greatly affected everyone. When she was reunites with her son, he was already in a jar. His remains where cremated immediately because of covid.
Until now, his remains are still under the custody of my godmother. She said, he stays with her and would not want it yet to be burried. She is not yet ready. Seeing her earlier, during the celebration of her son's birthday, she was still crying. She said, she misses him badly and I could feel how painful it is for her. She is now living alone with her son's ashes.
Some think that she should now learn to let go and let her son go in peace. But she firmly answered, NO!

Losing someone is really hard and painful. Our life is only borrowed and we have our own time that only God knows when. May we all learn to use it well according to His will.
