At some point in any persons life, we experience loss.
Loss of a loved one which you do not wish to have lost.
It is a burden that we all must bare at least once.
There is no avoiding it, and no nuance.

Just as any, I do not desire to see those I love leave.
It is only natural to want a reprieve.
I have lost many, my father, my maternal grandmother, and many more.
And one day, I know that I may have to bury my mother, a loss that will impact me forevermore.

But I do not hide from this fact, or run from the notion.
It hurts and stings, the thought requires lotion.
But when that time comes, I will greet it with sorrow.
All I can do is pray that she passes peacefully, and hope for a better tomorrow.
