Last sunday, I went to Temerloh to visit my aunty who is in the final stages of her terminal disease. I was sad to see her so emaciated and weakened by the disease. I haven't seen her in ages and it was awkward to be near a sick person. She couldn't speak much, but recognized both me and my sister. I was paralyzed, didn't know what to do, or say the right things to comfort her. How do you comfort a dying person?! It's as if I was feeling her imminent death...
All I can do is pray for her, for her to be placed among those blessed by God.....Amin.....

I am NEVER good at condolences, or when visiting sick people, I, Ms.Motormouth, for once do not have ANYTHING to say.I've been to funerals, deathbeds etc yet I still have NOTHING to say.Even if the person who passed away is my closest relative, I'd just be part of the mourners, preparing what I could for the jenazah, and stare around...LOST.But in my head, I've a lot of things to think about like what if it is ME in that kain kafan?Or my mother?Or my sister?Or my husband?
Death is a good reminder of how to live by, kan?

Yeah, me thinks better say nothing if you got nothing to say. You presence there is for moral support to the sick person and his/her family.
