Is it a process that everyone has to go through?
Why is death always a negative thing to look at?
Or it has a more meaningful meaning behind it....
Here is a true story to share with you,
Once upon a time, there is this University Student name Orell Gorge. He is the typical type of student that you see in everyday life. At home, he is sort of to say a good son and grandson.
A few months before he went away from home to further his study after high-school, his grandpa got a stroke and was bed-ridden. His grandpa is like another other grandparents who love his grandchildren. Everything changed since the stroke, the living room which his grandpa use to 'hang out' became empty. His grandpa is on the bed most of the time. Days went by, time became so much more obvious for his grandpa. With half paralysed body, there is nothing much grandpa can do than just to look at the same old ceiling everyday.
At first, his grandpa is able to sit on the wheel chair and watch TV. Days turn to a year, his grandpa weakens and can only be on the bed 24 hrs a day. A care taker is being employed to take care of his grandpa 24/7. Every time Orell come back from his studies, he could feel the agony of his grandpa. Imagine yourself, looking at the same ceiling everyday, could not move your right part of your body, could not even converse properly with your children and grandchildren. The feeling of irritation when you cannot get your message over to the other person. It would be like living in a different dimension of the same dimension. Yet, life still goes on.
Orell was in a dance competition and trained hard for it. On the night of the competition, his team lost. But nonetheless, they were having fun and have no regrets about it. After the competition, he got a stunning news from his home town. His grandpa just passed away a few hours after his dance competition. At that moment, he had mixed feelings. Normally, people will cry and get all moody and sad when death is heard. But, Orell felt sad and glad at the same time. He is also doubtful about his feelings.
Then, he come to realized about something. Death is not always a negative thing. Yes, we lost someone we loved so much. If we love someone, we would like that person to be happy. Death is also a happy thing. To him, his grandpa's death means that he(the grandpa) does not have to suffer the agony of staying on the bed any more. The family members does not have to worry about where to get the next care taker any more. Nonetheless, he still misses his grandpa a lot. The absence of his grandpa does touched the softest part of the strong man's heart but he thanked God for bringing his grandpa back to Heaven.
Death does hurt sometimes. But, if death were to affect the living negatively, the dead would not be dying in peace and happiness either. So, when something died (family members, love, feelings..etc). Look at it in a more positive way. Look beyond the tears and grunts. Love someone while he/she is alive and not regretting after the death.
