After David died I began to write and write. Here are some words of despair.
Where is my son? What happened? How can David die? Why did he die?
What is death all about? I am tired of all these mysteries. I am tired of not
knowing. I am tired of no answers. I am tired of everything. The routines of
daily chores are boring. I want more. I do not know what I want. I do not know
anything. I am lost. I am in the pit. I am in hell. I have no friends. I have
nobody who understands. I do not understand. Why should I expect others to
understand? This is senseless. I am tired of philosophizing so that I can
survive. Why do I have to struggle everyday so that I can survive? Will I ever
be able to live again as before? Will I be able to overcome the pain? There is
no pain like this pain. It cannot be described. No one can feel it. No one
knows that I am hurting as they cannot see it. It is only known by God. It is
hidden in my soul and my heart. People tell me that I should be thankful that I
had David for 30 years. These are people who have children who have not died.
These are people who are in their seventies and who have lived long lives.
These are people who had a smooth sailing all along. I wonder if they will be
thankful if this happened to them. I wonder if they could say such a thing to
anyone if they had experienced such a loss. I wonder if they can imagine such a
loss!!!
