Dear Maxmars, I’m so sorry for your tragic loss. I can only offer my sincere condolences. I know words alone are not sufficient to heal the wounds which, the more we love, the more they run deep, linger and leave indelible scars. However, sharing your pain raises awareness and a collective meditation that can only help channel positivity to you and your children.
From your first paragraph I felt this was no ordinary story; hoping in my heart that it was only fiction. My fears that it wasn’t made your experience so much more personal and poignant. By reliving those last few heart-breaking hours, you truly brought us into that intimate moment; an experience that may help prepare others face similar situations, now or in the future.
Every day we see the hurt and anger that man inflicts upon man; be it war, crime, vengeance, etc. However, the worst kind of conflict is within our souls. We can’t wage war or call a truce on our emotions, nor condemn and find justice. Our emotions are our worst enemies and it is the cruellest of tortures.
Personally, I fight every day to suppress my fears and loathing for this life. My wife has been sick in one manner or another from day one; small things that accumulate and never let us live in peace and happiness. So, I dread the day I would have to make a decision, like you did, to let go. But love means sacrifice, and I’d rather sacrifice any selfish needs on my part for her to rest in peace. All I wish is for the pain and suffering to end and I await that silver bullet that will put to rest the inner turmoil… welcoming a better world that, I believe in my heart, we are rewarded with and where the ultimate reunion happens, free from suffering.
My thoughts and prayers accompany you and your loved ones, Maxmars; hoping the demons release you from their chains and serenity shines bright in your life.
Forti abbracci,
Enzo
