Mourning Week

Last week was gloomy and mourning week for me. My aunt passed away, and she’s one of my closest aunts. I went for her funeral, and saw her sleeping serenely in her coffin. I was really sad but wasn’t crying. However, each time this particular group of musicians play a sad song, I started to cry even though I tried to stop it but I couldn’t.

Its time for the procession; me, my family and other relatives followed behind the coffin until the end of the road and quickly got into out vehicles and continue to pursue it to a graveyard called Nilai Memorial Park. This graveyard is really beautiful and very peaceful.

While at the graveyard, we witness the burial of her body. It was really heartbreaking, especially my aunt’s immediate family. She was kind and caring, where she always looks after my mum and the rest of the family (her siblings) without fail. Losing her was a great lost for all of us. We will always remember her! After the burial, every family went separately in their own way with a profound heart.

Life is so fragile, like a piece of glass being shattered easily. It’s pain to see our loved ones passed away. So, always cherish and appreciate in everything they do for us, because you’ll never know when they’ll leave us!
