Family tragic Loss
Posted by admin in Friends and Family (June 18, 2009 at 4:08 pm)First it was my brother, then my mother. Coping with a family loss in a row is not easy. My brother passed away due to cardiac arrest and my mother took it lightly but on the inside she grieve too bad that her health was affected. No one knows about her underlying conditions because she did not say anything about it. She buried ny brother against her will and after 3 days she got sick. It was a fast-paced hospital drama after she was confined to the Intensive Care Unit.
I constantly monitored her status by calling every 12 hours. i even spoke with the doctor and she revealed to me that my mom has complicated ailments, her lungs, heart and kidney were all in severe condition. Knowing all these made me panic that I have to board the earliest plane to the Philippines.
It’s great if you have friends around you. When my brother died, I took the financial responsibility helping my sister-in-law and gave a descent burial to my brother. The financial toll hit hard when have to do it all by myself for my mother. My friends are very helpful in extending their financial support to help raise the money to help my financial burden.
My home coming is to grieve and bury my mother. After 11 years years of being away in the Philippines, it is not easy to cope with the lifestyle anymore, not withstanding the heat, smog and facilities, i tell you it was a hard adjustment for me. A good friend accommodated me in her abode and treated me very well. My friends are all beside me physically and virtually. My Inbxo is exploding with emails how things are going and I f I am ok. Thanks to all my Bffs and I really appreciate your efforts being with me in my crisis.
The burial interment was great and my mother deserved it. She will be happy i know and her togetjer with my brother are smiling for what we did for them. I can fly back to Toronto with peace of mind and be with my family who missed me a lot already.
