Hello, how nice that here besides sharing our reflections, it serves us as a therapy, to let go of everything that weighs us down inside and that it is hard for us to suddenly tell it, to express it in front of another person, and that many times writing it down is also a good therapy, where our mind thinks and our fingers are the ones that speak if it is on a pc or if we write with a pencil.
In less than 10 years I have lost wonderful people who were part of my life, relatives, friends, neighbors, in short, in the case of those who were relatives it hurts a little more because they are part of the family directly or indirectly, or maybe it was because of the early and unexpected way in which they left this earthly plane.
Because when we see a family member who has been suffering from an illness for a long time, it is something that can happen from one moment to the next, we are not prepared, but we are as if we are on alert for what is to come when it is said that there is no hope, but as they say while there is life there is hope, this is the last one that is lost and the last word is GOD.
One of my relatives, an aunt of my children Isabel, nurse, mother, good person and helpful, did not have any disease so as to be alert but she had a silent enemy: The tension or blood pressure, but she being a nurse was controlled, rather there was another aunt much more serious in bed, but Isabel was like something that no one expected, went to work in her night shift at the hospital, but carried with her some feelings kept, silent: the illness of the aunt, a nephew who had recently emigrated to Peru, the last thing to know in his workplace the death of another nephew. Yes, all this accumulation of emotions I think that together with the pressure made her heart collapse, but in a quiet way, she did not say goodbye to anyone, after her last round of supplies in the hospital she went to bed, when her colleagues called her because it was time to complete the last treatment before handing over the guard, she did not wake up, she fell asleep forever.
Now my sister-in-law is leaving so quickly that we have not yet assimilated it all, but it is happening. Young, who took care of her diet, exercised, worked, did not lead a life of fuss, or rushed, all would say well organized, when suddenly in the morning when I woke up I saw a message from my brother, that his partner had died in the early morning, I thought: How was it? What happened?
Then my brother tells us, that if Maria my sister in law was in the bathroom and suddenly called him or he felt that she fell, she could not stand up, he helped her but she complained of a headache, all this late at night, they called her daughter who lived nearby, to take her to the hospital, in Santa Elena de Uairen, when she arrived they gave her treatment, they told her it was a stroke or CVD but she did not respond to treatment and died, as I said it happened so fast, she did not say goodbye to anyone.
And recently I lost a great friend of mine who, as I said, we knew it could happen from one moment to another but we never expected it, she had cancer, which had overcome the strong or critical phase, and after spending almost two years in bed, she was already two years on her feet leading an almost normal life, she was also a nurse, they applied her chemo and in the following days it hit her but then we saw her on her feet, We thought that when her daughter died a year ago, she could have died further back, but she did not get over it, her daughter died after labor and perhaps if the mother was no longer there, the grandmother was there to take care of the child who had been left alone, but now she also left him alone.
Each one of those departures affected me a lot for a while, I asked them to give me strength to continue, because I can not throw myself to die since my children still need me, to guide them so that they can develop in life later on, Besides, with my tears I did not let them rest, besides the fact that out of what I gave them they were very happy and warrior people, so life goes on, but we must be alert to any symptom, something that is not normal in us, because who else to know us than ourselves.
