My first brush with death was when my great grandmother passed away when I was maybe 14 years old. Her death did not create any impact to me there for I did not even cry at all. I realised that she actually did not really have much to do with me when I was younger or any closer to me so I was rather confused how to accept or felt she was any lost in my life....sad. When I thought of it now it was indeed a great lost. Her stories and proverbs when she tries to teach you about life and mistake was something you cant buy or exchange with $.
Next was, our sponsor Mr Chew Poh Wah. I never expected I will actually cry on his funeral but when his daughter appear to acknowledge our attendance during his wake....I just cried out like a baby.!!! It must be because she is about my age and I felt for her or maybe he was so generous to William and I? I never expected him to not knowing us well at all ,yet he sponsored our lessons during our first trip to England.
The first death that created an impact on me was the death of my father-in-law. Nicol was born about 7 months. I have know him for about 10 long years. Well, he was nice to me and my husband. He was indeed a lost to the family and all of us and I was too busy to actually learn more from him about his story or anything him for my children. I really cried a lot due to the fact that he was also very warm and nice to me........He was a great lost to us!
Now after many years of going thru all this events of family, friends and all, Buddhisme tought me a lot about birth , life and death............ I accepted it but still not full heartedly about how some of us depart.
