I never knew how to react when one of my friends used to cry for a death of their loved one. I never knew what to say to make them feel better or positive about life. How can you ever find anything positive about an untimely death? A twenty something dies in some accident or due to a disease which was not supposed to happen.
All of us do not really accept death to be a part of our lives until it happens to someone we love. Losing a person who was a part of your life leaves a void that can never be filled by anyone else. When a loved one dies a part of you dies with them, you are never the same again.
The grief of a parent of losing their child cannot even be explained in words. Having children is a privilege and a gift. Losing a child means losing your years of expectations, love, care and the future. I cannot even measure how much a parent loses when they lose their child. It seems to be the biggest punishment.
Death also brings numerous questions about life with it. How can I trust life? I never know when I can lose a friend or a family member. And for that matter why live if we eventually have to die? How can someone be happy if they know that they are going to die?
But I guess it makes you grow up and look at life with new eyes. Everyone has to die one day but still we strive to live each day. Life itself is the biggest example of hope and expectations. The only thing we can do is cherish every moment and every person in our lives. Try and make someone's life a little easier because we never know when life would end.
After experiencing sudden deaths of loved ones I just hope I never hurt anyone because I may never be able to say sorry to them or they may remember me with a bad memory for the rest of their lives. All I can do is be happy and content with whatever I have and thank God everyday that I am alive and can make someone else happy about living a life that in itself is a gift.
Is it not a wonder that even the greatest of the scientists existed on earth where not even able to provide a single clue,why death occurs to all living beings. Is it not a mystery,that we have all kinds of science,technology and greatest advancements in life but not an answer to a very very simple and basic fact of life.Or do we have an answer,surely,but banging head on the wall is of no use. The day mankind finds the answer to its birth and death,then it could be called that he/she achieved truth.You Ms.Ankita Singh have an answer??

I here am not questioning 'why do we die?'. I have accepted death as a part of life and its end. We never question our lives then why death? It is the law of the universe. Every living creature that has taken birth on this planet has to perish one day. The only answer I have is after witnessing death we should learn to live more. Everyone has to die one day but how we live can make all the difference between you and me.
