My life’s uncertainties
‘’When we least expect it,
life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change it at
such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in
saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not
look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to
accept our destiny”.
–Paul Coelho
Many people all around the world face some challenges
and obstacles in their lives. Particularly me, I thought everything was perfect
in our family even though my dad had passed away in our early age while my mom
had been working abroad and despite the great distance between us, she never
fails to make us feel special. She tried her very best to communicate and be
with us for as long as she can. Unfortunately, appalling news staggered us. My
tito there called us and he said that my mom was in a comatose. No one knows
when she will wake up. At home, we have no idea of what was going on. Then my
tito called us, he informed us that my mom had passed away. I cried so much and
so hard that I started to breathe fast.

| The gravestone of my parents. |
Now, I lost two very important persons in my
life. When they both passed away, it was an obstacle for me and to my brother.
It feels like my life was nothing because my parents are not here. I couldn’t
imagine any reason to be strong enough to convince myself to stay up.
Unfocused, sluggish, alone, that’s how I feel. I attempt to commit suicide just
to be with my parents but it was just in my mind. I didn’t take any move
because I realized that it was not a solution to my melancholy. Indeed, I’m
still lucky because my family and close friends are there to support me.
Love of parents was all I craved for. I know
God has a purpose why He let both of my parents died and
He just want the two of us to become even stronger.
To overcome depression is not that easy, it
takes time to overcome it but by having a family and friends around me, I was
able to surmount it easily.
