It is the page torn out from her heart Can't you see the blood stains at the edges of this page…
the colour of death is neither black nor white....... black because we fear and give the thing of mourning...... white because to shine...... when I read I mourn in heart I have no words in me......... I lost my mother and I know the pain how we feel without mother`s love........ and loosing sister the grief is much more.....
Very well expressed how painful one feels. Very well written.
those whom god loves most he calls early. be happy that way. what else can i say surya
The color of death that we all knew that it will come to us in due time. But reading these pieces make my heart squeeze to death.
just a month ago, a young boy of 19 succumbed to kidney failure...my 'just a mother' is about his mother...the solace is we took a conscious decision of not hospitalizing the boy. Thank god, he left ythis world without further torture to his body in the name of hospitalization!
