A Gift From Death

Life is unpredictable, and death is inevitable. I have heard this sentence countless times, but I never understood what it meant until that day.
We all are surrounded by our loved ones, without which we cannot imagine our life. We understand their value most when they depart us.  I still remember those days clearly. Such is the loss of the loved one. Seven years ago, my grandma suffered a serious health issue and was admitted to the hospital. I always had a fear of losing her, but like my many other family members, I thought that she would be coming home soon. Unfortunately, she never recovered and died within a week. I was devastated by it. I never imagined the person I loved most in my life is gone forever. I wanted to shout and cry my heart out, but at the same time, I realized that I had to be strong. I had to get hold of the situation.
The pain of losing a loved one is excruciating and in-explainable, but life moves on, and with the time you realize that the moments spent with them were the best moment of your life. Her death changed my whole perspective toward life. I started caring for people around me and started spending more time with them. I realized that one day, everyone has to go, and even though it is something that is not in our hands, what we can do is to take care of them and spend quality time with them so that we have no regrets.
