Dealing with the death of a loved one

I was on my way to work and making my way inside the train station when I received a text message that an uncle of mine passed away due to high blood pressure. When I arrived in the office, I received yet another message telling me that my grandmother on my father's side passed away that very morning. Oh! The fate. I called my father to let him know, unsure of how I might tell him the news. I heard my father's voice crack on the other end of the line as I told him about his mother's death. I know he was crying.

Just a few months ago, my grandpa, my mother's father died, too. I had a hard time thinking how I might tell my mother. I know she'd get hurt by the news. When I finally blurted the news out, I didn't hear her whimper but I knew she was crying. My mother was a strong woman. It seems to me that she was holding her emotions back. My father, although most of the time would show his manly ego, is more emotional. I heard his sniffs while we talked on the phone.

I know that life on this earth is not permanent, and one day, we'd go back to our creator when our time comes. But how it hurts when a loved one passes away before us. Often, those who are left behind would have a hard time coping with the pain and the loss. But then, it is fate, and it is the reality of life. Death is something each one should accept. It is a part of life.
