There is Some Love In Grieving

Yes, Son. You can be terrible sometimes. We all can face rough days. The room is filled with darkness.

Snigdha said to her thirteen-year-old son.

He cried and hugged her. 

But you always said to be strong. Every time. I have seen Sagar pulled into the sea by the waves. I shouted. I cried for help.

Rahul said while tears rolled down his cheeks.

Snigdha is trying to help her son who witnessed the accidental death of a cousin on the beach.

You have to be strong. That does not mean you should not recognise your vulnerabilities. When accepted, those vulnerabilities become your strength. That's how life works.

See, you tried to save him. It's not your fault. It was an accident. He slipped from the rock and the ocean is full of a disturbance at that time. It was part of destiny. There is nothing wrong with grieving.

She said and opened the windows of the room.

Is this guilty causing me grief? Rahul murdered.

No. No. It's not always guilty that causes grief. There is some love in grieving. You are missing someone you love. Someone is part of your family. It is completely okay to feel sad.

But, it should not be the reason to stop being a person whom you should not be. That's life. Just stay strong. This too shall pass. She said and looked at the sunshine entering through the windows.
