No final goodbye with mum due to ‘decomposition’

It is with a heavy heart that I share the tragic news that I was unable to have a final goodbye with my mum due to her rapid decomposition after her passing. The suddenness of her death left me in shock and disbelief, and I wanted nothing more than to see her one last time, to hold her hand and whisper my love to her.

But when I arrived at the hospital, I was met with the harsh reality of death. My mum’s body had already started to show signs of decomposition, making it impossible for me to have the closure I so desperately needed. The image of her lifeless form, marred by the natural processes of decay, will forever haunt me.

It’s a cruel twist of fate that in death, we are forced to confront the harsh truths of our mortality. The fragility of life, the inevitability of decay – these are not easy things to come to terms with. And yet, in our grief, we find strength to carry on, to honor the memory of our loved ones in whatever way we can.

So I say goodbye to my mum not with a final embrace, but with a heavy heart and a promise to remember her always. Though I may never have that last chance to say goodbye, I will carry her love with me forever.
