“There’s Never A Right Time To Say Goodbye”
written by Bituin Esclamando
How to face death when death is faceless? It dwells among us unnoticeably disguising like a chameleon, changing its color and masking hope, until one day it reveals itself with such an unbearable pain from the unforeseeable most hurtful betrayal one will ever come face to face with. Such encounter is quick, but the pain that it incurs like a dagger in one’s heart will linger for a very long time if not forever.
Its shameless arrival makes life uncertain, no amount of prayers and intercession can stop it. But why? Why does He gives and then takes away? If He has given us free will, then why does it feels like we are left with no choice but to submit helplessly to death? Why does God wills such a horrible way to put an end to every thing?

My entire body is grieving, and this house feels empty. I feel so incomplete. I don’t know when will this pain stops when it feels like it won’t. This pain is more than just the passing of a loved one, it’s deeper than that. I feel God does not only rejected my desperate prayers and plea, but also my whole heart. I cannot feel His compassion and mercy. I feel alone, confused and hurt. They say there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s hard when I feel like Im walking aimlessly. God, what’s the purpose of all this?
