Death

No one knows death. No one who has experienced death has told or written how it feels like. We can’t really fathom death being alive.

What we feel is the loss of a loved person. Her sudden absence from our lives. And we associate this feeling with death. But, death in itself is beyond our comprehension.

Even if we have not met the person for years, just knowing that she exists forms our carefully constructed world. One day she doesn’t exist. There is a void in her place. You feel that void and associate it with death.

Different people feel the loss of a person differently. Some losses don’t register at all but some break you down. The closer you are to the dead person, the bigger the void. It is difficult to understand your feelings.
