I can't stop thinking about this...

On New Year's Day, I received a call from a good friend that her mother passed away. She was in her third trimester and was carrying twins. Her mother was fine all day and even watched a movie with her. But as the night came she started having difficulty breathing. They rushed to the hospital but she unfortunately passed on the way. Even though I never met her mother it just horrifies me to think that things can take such a drastic turn in life. A few months ago I learned about her mother's pregnancy and we were all excited, but suddenly on the joyful day of New Year, she passed away. I am unable to put into words how I feel. I am very grateful for having both my parents, but I feel so sad for her and the seldom cruelty of life. I feel so bad for her and I am somehow able to empathize with her despite having the fortune of having both my parents. It's just so cruel, that the best of people have to suffer the most. I am unable to imagine a life without my parents. That feeling of losing someone and feeling a piece of your heart go with them is unbearable. It's jarring to imagine that one minute you're enjoying a movie with your mother and in the next she is no more. I just need to somehow vent this all out because I am unable to sleep at night as all these horrible thoughts come to my mind. Whenever I am unable to distract myself these thoughts come back to me. I can't even fathom how it would feel to be in her shoes. If you have read till here, thank you for listening to my vent...
