Death of a Child

[csc]

Thanks for the encouraging sharings - especially from Insider.


I have been crying more lately...my uncle passed away from cancer last november and this was followed by a close childhood friend (same age group) who was called Home at the beginning of this year after struggling with cancer for 6 years.And just last week, I received news that another good friend is diagnosed with lung cancer . There are no symptoms at all and he was diagnosed during a routine scan.

Life is unpredictable and but a breath. Indeed , there is much more to life. I remind myself to number my days and make them count and to treasure the people and relationships around me

Thanks for the reminder from insider… I guess all of us are so occupied in pursuing our goals in life that we most often neglect those important to us… I guess this is very much so in SG. In some countries, pple can afford to spend more time with loved ones, etc. Let’s remind ourselves everyday to show care/concern to those we cherish

insider:

I have another philosophy in life that I will try not to let any ill feelings trouble me excessively for more than three days. Regardless of what, I must shake it off and live as per normal as soon as I can (this one will be the most challenging to do when it's the time I lose my dearest mum but it's just a mindset that I keep all this while).


Catch up again, Zack!

Growing up I was never close to my dad and thought that I would not shed a tear when my dad passed on... But I guess during his last few years, although we didnt really talk much, we grew a bit closer as I was involved in taking care of some of his basic needs after he had a fall and stroke... He went into a coma during his second stroke, my whole family gathered before a decision was made to pull the plug as he was technically brain dead... Seeing the vital signs monitor showing a flat heart beat signal, his body turning cold, the realisation that we could never see him again... I shed more than a tear for my dad that day as a part of me felt that it was being cut away....

Like you, I worry about the day that time will come for my mum who is past 80. She had always pampered me, worried for me even after I started work etc... I cannot imagine the loss I would be feeling then... So should always treasure the kinship we have with our loved one as this is what money cannot buy :hugs:
