I don't know where to begin. I am at a loss of words. My friend A. asked me to write it down but it was the last thing i wanted do. The pain and loss is personal so I did not want to write about it on a public domain. No idea, why i am still putting it down. Probably because she was persistent that it may lessen my grief or maybe i myself wanted to purge my feelings that i had kept it bundled up inside me all these days since the fateful day. But, can it lessen the grief? I have no idea. With each passing day it has been growing on me and the void stares back hauntingly.
This is for my li'l sis who left us on last Tuesday, 3rd August. She was my cousin but she meant to me more than words can express. I am still trying to grapple with the fact that she is no more. I was making elaborate plans and was waiting eagerly to meet her. Somehow i wasn't able to meet her when i had been home last time. I feel guilty that i had not made enough effort to meet her, had i then......
Life and death are the two truths of life, agreed but no amount of reasoning seem to console me or justify her death. She was only seven years old. Why SHE? is my only question. I wish i could move the hands of time backwards. I would have clasped her to my soul and wouldn't have allowed her to go away even for a second. I wish i could exchange places with her and comfort the grieving souls.

Oooh I am so so sorry to read this. Losing someone is so difficult and it doesn't matter if you saw it coming or not, the fact that someone is gone, will remain the most difficult thing in life. And with time it gets better, you will be able to cope with it. I hope you can give it a better place, now you've written it down. And you've written it down beautifully.
You're in my thoughts! Big big hugs to you and strength to your family.
Take care Xx
Hey, we all gotta be with God someday... God bless our souls.
i m really sorry for your loss - really - i could somehow feel it and it makes me really sad - wish your cousin finds the abode in Heavens amongst angels!
Hi Shas,
There is nothing and no one who can fill her space, but yes you can make her space special. Take care of you.
i wonder if there is one person on earth who doesnt feel the same and asks the same question, 'why s/he?' ...but then... you know the answer too na?
life is like that
Oh dear!
Such losses can never be justified by a reason. May the little angel rest in peace.Strength and courage to her family and loved ones.

Sorry for the loss, no words or person can fill up the void, but remembering her with a smile might just make her smile too.
I've seen deaths too, it takes time. Please be strong and take care.

Prayer & thinking of the beautiful moments spent together are the only ways of coming over the grief. My prayers for the departed soul

Hey there. Saw your comment on my blog and was curious. And then read this post. Sorry for the loss.
