7 Weeks (49 Days) Without My Mum

If we let it

grief of losing a loved one

can take us to places

we never expected

Ma, it has been seven weeks since you are gone, I am struggling with the concept you are no longer here with me as you were the one and only person who have been with me for my whole life

Ma, the day you departed this world, a pain appeared that has silenced any other pain I have ever felt as I lost the most precious thing I have ever had - you and your unconditional love

Ma, the day you left me here, you did not go along and you took a part of me with you as you took the best part of my heart and the remaining part has been cut into a million pieces by the hurt

Ma, the day you went where I could not follow, my life has changed forever and it will never be the same again as it has become a veritable jungle that I must try to navigate without map and compass

Ma, I have been living in a lonely world of grief ever since the umbilical cord that connected you and me was suddenly severed and the world as I knew it is no more, and darkness falls on me
