Emotions!

Loss!

Loss, one of the most loosely used words to describe lack of fulfillment! It con notates change in lifestyle mostly, but the deepest meaning is when it changes life itself! How can someone relate to loss of a life? Be it money or game, the loss can be recovered or made up, but how can someone replace a living?

Strength!

Being physically strong, mentally strong or even financially strong is just a mere attribute. How can the strength to deal with the loss of life ever be justified? Yet, we pray for it!

Cope!

Coping with work or school is to improve a personal trait. It's building teamwork and learning to live in society, but there is coping at home too. That’s the essence of co-existence, but when one branch breaks, how do you rebuild it?


In the past two weeks I have heard this word repeatedly and used it too! Now, that is norm dictated by society to provide the emotional support the devastated family needs!

As I sit and think back, I cannot dream of losing my mom even at age 100! Despite the tragedy life ends in, Mom is simple irreplaceable; but what justice is it for young kids to not have her presence in their lives? I see the saddened eyes of a shattered father who is trying to stand brave for his kids and the devastation in a young daughter who is unable to thread a reaction to the loss of her mom and a little son who has probably lost any memory of his mother already; but for the pictures that hang around the house! The greatest atrocity to this equation is for a mother to see her own child pass in her arms! What insanity is this? This is not the circle of life I was educated to believe in! My anger compels me to call out to the force to show this grieving family a path to regroup and patch their lives with some semblance of sanity and normalcy to withstand the absence of a daughter/ mother/ wife!

  1. dear somu, when i originally read this blog, the wound was too raw to even comment. and even now, as i sit on this comment, i wonder if it warrants a comment as they are beautifully expressed as is but i wanted to say on 2 aspects - your emotions touched me very much and secondly your choice of words and expressions...
