Re: Sharing from Joseph - with thanks

Dear All

It's very nice to have you, our dear LC couples, to share your life experiences on this blog. Joseph's sharing on his godpa has touched me greatly. How his death had so affected him and how he sees things help me to better understand what Albert is going through. As I had not yet experience such personal grief, (my parents are very old - my dad is already 91 going 92 this May), I am bracing myself for the impact, and I am afraid I won't be able to take it as well and as bravely as Albert. With Joseph's sharing, I now understand better why Albert cleared the sight of his mum's bed immediately in Jurong house on the day we collected her ashes. I thought his poor mum's soul (as we chinese believe) would return on the 7th day and cannot recognise the place as her bed is gone and no one is there and the place is dark. I thought it is quite "cruel" to her. Now I understand why Albert did what he did. He told me before if he sees her bed he won't be able to take it. But I guess when someone else shares a similar experience, it awakens me and open my eyes and make me really listen to what Albert is really saying.

Thank you Joseph for your sharing :)

Love Theresa
