Death! This is so scary, something that you do not know what it feels like, something that no one has an experience of, no one can say this or this is how exactly it feels like, something that no one goes and come back, a journey of no return, a painless journey that causes your loved ones pain...
This is a pain that causes a deep scar in our mind for a very long period of time, sometimes even forever, you might say that time will heal us, but it's a pain that sometime never heals because a slight remembrance will trigger a whole lot of memories that will eventually will bring back more memories about you, and that pain eventually continues...
Time will indeed heal us, but not without leaving a scar, and of course the pain might have gone after a very long time, but when you remember the scar, you remember what triggered the scar, which will will bring back old time memory, and this time, you might not necessarily cry, but probably even smile, but that smile is not because you are happy that the person has left this mortal world, but then a smile that is interestingly about how you spent your time...
There could be times where An event will occur and I know that if you were present at that moment, an eventful day is what that say will be tagged as, because I know that your presence will bring or create a more interesting scene, but now that you are forever gone, it's never going to happen again, I mean again!!!
Death is not really funny, most especially when we were so close before you left me to suffer or enjoy this Nigeria situation alone, without you by side...
Truth be told, I've never really lost a very close person, a person so dear to me, but I have seen a time where someone almost died in my presence, in fact, the person actually died, but God in his infinite mercies gave him the grace to return back to life.
I'll tell you a little bit about it...
There was a late evening late last year, towards the beginning of the new year, one of our neighbours came back from work in a hurry, and as soon as he got home, he locked his door, and warned his wife not to tell anyone that he's dying, he was complaining of a very serious stomach ache, it was so severe that he was just rolling on the ground, his wife had to run out in fear to call out for help, and we and the other two neighbours quickly got there and tried everything they could logically do to save this man, but it seemed like it was beyond the normal stomach ache, so it seemed like it was poison.
As of the time I got there, his mouth was red, I didn't know if that was blood or red oil, everyone was so scared, and after trying the pressure on the heart on the chest (CPR), there was no positive results, we had to start praying, praying and praying, everyone prayed the way he could pray, we thought of taking him to the hospital, but with his condition, if we moved him, before he got to the hospital, he'd die...
And after a while, we realised that he was no longer breathing, he was no longer moving, my father confirmed that he was no longer breathing, and that his heart had stopped pumping, he came to whisper in my ear if there was a way to take him to the hospital, because we had all given up, because it was already too late in the night, and so we knew we couldn't take his body to anywhere...
We just knew that the next and only thing to do at that point was to test and believe in God Almighty, and so we just kept on praying, and so after some hours of massive prayers, an anointing oil was poured on his head and immediately it touched him, he Shaked for a bit, and just after then, our hope was revived even more, so we kept on praying, and then the anointing oil was poured in his mouth, and over his body, and he started to get himself but by bit...
There was a whole lot of struggles that night, but till 3am, before he got himself a little better, and so we had to make him rest and he said he wanted to sleep that he's tired, and after a while, he slept off, and then by morning, he was better, he was even able to go to church that same day, cause it was Sunday.
Another experience was when my boss lost his very good friend, I didn't know that the death of a loved one can break a person like a shattered glass, at that time, if you had seen my boss, he looked lifeless, like he should go with her, and they were just friends, I felt bad for him, there wasn't anything he could do about it, I really felt bad for him indeed, but he eventually healed, but still had a lot of pain and regret whenever he comes across her pictures...
The pou
Wer of lost is a lot, the pain we pass through is so painful, even more than heart breaks, I really pray that we don't loose anyone.
