It’s been an utterly sad day…

I lost my maternal grandmother today. She was 92, so a life well lived. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. 🙏

As I saw my father and mother get the news, I realised how disturbing it is to receive, comprehend, and react to such a shock. Especially for a child, who just lost a parent.

While we made arrangements to travel for her funeral, I also observed how excruciating it is to accept this kind of a loss. How our mind keeps going back to the days and time we spent with the deceased person, the memories we created and persevere on, and the lingering feeling of emptiness that is left behind.

Difficult indeed. Unavoidable not at all. Can only pray that we individually and collectively have enough strength to absorb and bounce back from such a shock!
