My brother didn’t leave slowly…he didn’t get to say goodbye in a way we could prepare ourselves for…the moment I arrived at the hospital,he could no longer talked to me🥹only simple gestures like moving his jaw and his eyelids and his tears as his way to show he hears me.
One moment he was here,part of our everyday lives even we live far away from each other,the next,an aneurysm took him in a way none of us could have truly imagined or controlled🥹🥹🥹
An aneurysm is something many people don’t think about until it happens in their own family.It is a sudden weakening in a blood vessel in the brain that can burst without warning.There are no loud signs,no clear alarms most of the time.It can look like a normal day until it isn’t anymore.That’s what makes it so painful to understand.There was no chance to negotiate with it,no time to delay it,no way to predict the exact moment everything would change…this is an awakening call to us all to really take care of our health.Chronic stress or kahit anong bisyo could trigger the build up of blood clots in our nerves that will soon lead sa ganitong sitwasyon.YOU SHOULD STOP IT RIGHT NOW!
What I keep coming back to is how unfairly quiet it all was…one life,full of memories,plans actually na bibili pa sana ng lupa and will divide it to my siblings so we can live together and will never be apart again…then ordinary moments,interrupted in an instant by something so hidden inside his body….may namumuo na palang isang bagay that could possibly rupture without warning..and for those left behind para sa amin..the silence feels heavier than words can carry🥹something we don’t know when will this pain ends,especially there’s a “certain” weight that adds up to his passing🥹
Now,grief feels like a space he used to fill.It shows up in small moments when I think of something I want to tell him na pwede pa kami mabuo ulit which I always say pag magka chat kami..when I hear a joke he would’ve laughed at,when I realize there will always be a “before” and “after” in our lives from now on
But even in this pain,there is something I hold on to…love doesn’t disappear just because someone’s gone.It stays in the way we remember them,in the way we speak their name,in the way their existence shaped who we are..💚
Beboy’s life mattered more than the way it ended….and even if aneurysm took him without warning,it cannot take away the love, the bond,and the meaning he left behind💚💚💚
Mahal na mahal ka namin🥹💚
