How do I say goodbye? 🥺

There's a lot I want to say. There are so many questions I need answers to, but the truth is that deep inside, I know the answer to, still I can't help asking;

"Is that how people die?"

If I were told that my day would begin and end with this, I would argue, cuss and move away. No one could tell and questions like;

"Was she sick?" filled my head again.

How can someone who made her daughter's hair yesterday in preparation for her graduation end up dying just some hours ago. I have cried and kept thinking. "Is this real?"

I am finding it hard to believe until the cries of my relatives fill my ears. Yep! She is dead and gone. There's no coming back to meet her husband or children. She left this world without even looking back? Or did she?

It is sad news for me today has my uncle's wife body hit the mortuary as the preparation of burial rites has been done.

I am still trying to process things, but the harder I try, the more I get hit by reality. I am not dreaming. I felt how the hot tears clung onto my cheek and I did nothing to wipe them off. I needed to be strong but for now, I am letting the river flow.

To do this, I decided to write and let me emotions flow with music as my aid and I do hope the strength to care for those she left behind will be dished out soon, cos I am tired. Life! You never know when it'll end. For her, I chose these songs.

*How do I say goodbye?

How do I say goodbye when a young soul is gone? What would we tell the children she left behind?

I don't know how to and don't want to. Sadness grips me and I really want to sleep and wake up to good news.

How can the husband and children say goodbye when she won't be coming back?

Visiting hours

And then I wish heaven has visiting hours because I am still gobsmacked. I am shattered and lost.

Goodbye

Goodbye because she was a mom, a wife, someone's sister, best friend and duaghter.

Rest in perfect peace. We shall meet, one day.
