When he died everyting changed, my mumsi now does the work of a father and mother, it really really hurt wen i tink about it. Growing up not having a father has left a hole in my heart. My dad spent his money and time on people(friends and family members)now after his death nobody cares, they all left us to suffer, Anyway PaPa God dey. Papa God pls give me my heart desire so that i can take really good care of my mum, she has done too much. In Jesus name. amen

menaxe: I lost my immidiate younger brother 4days ago (2nd october 2013). Its a day I will never forget in ma life. Am not crying cos of his death, but cos he died in chronic pains,agony n rancour which lasted for 11months. We woke up one morning around august last year, and saw fresh blood sprinkled all over my compound, he was the first to see it. He called us n showed us the blood, ma mum wept n lamented.
Problem started in november last year,my younger brother who saw that blood, started having some kind of raumatic pains on the right leg, we tot it was raumatism n was givin him medication, bu the situation got worse with the dawn of every morning, we took him to healing ministries,hospitals, native doctors, spritual home,churches, orthopedic home etc bu non could save him. By march 2013, the ailment also affected the left leg, my brother was totally paralysed from the waist!!!
I wish he was just paralysed, I would ve managed the situation, sever pains is an understatement, ma brother was in chronic pains every day n night, he dosent sleep at night so do the whole family, cos he will wake us up with scream n pains. At times we will just watch him helplessly n confused.
My late brother even attempted suicide
Severally, I will always give him hope that he will be fine yet he was never fine untill his death. Am so hurt, I wish God gives me the fortitude to bear this. And I pray God grants his gentle soul eternal REST in jesus name, Amen.

Amen amen and amen. Just be a good man too so people will envy your mom, wife and all those close to you and enjoying your company.

Lakayanah: I had a baby 13years after my last baby the baby came with the loop in his hands prematurely I stayed in the hospital for 3months. All was well until 3weeks to his 1st birthday he fell ill for just 3days and died the last thing he said was mama.

lolaxavier: Just like yesterday. I lost Bayowa, my younger brother, our last born. He travelled home on a saturday to pick up his secondary school credential as part of what he is to tender at KPMG after passing their test and first interview. He complained of headache when he got home and my mum and dad took him to a hospital and he was attended to.
My parent came back from church on Sunday and he asked my mum for a cup of tea. He drank it and vomitted. My dad took him to the bathroom and from there, he slumped. Rushed to the hospital, there was no response from him. His heart kept beating but no tiny, single response from him. My elder brother, a doctor at UCH Ibadan, rushed down that same day to Ondo state and got an ambulance which was used to convey him to UCH. At 1:00 am in the morning of Sunday, they got to UCH and was immediately placed on life support machine in their Intensive care unit.
With my mum, dad and siblings all present, all making journey down to Ibadan from our various destinations, we kept hoping and praying. Well, believe me, the eyes that Bayowa closed from the bathroom was the last. He never opened those eyes. Bayowa passed away about 2.30am on the following Tuesday, barely 13 days after his birthday. He died right in my presence. This memory has stuck with everyone and truly, his demise has shattered a lot.
CT scan done before he died revealed that he has bled seriously into the ventricles in his brain and that all the time he was complaining of headache, he was already bleeding seriously in his brain. At the end he was diagnosed to have leukaemia (a form of cancer of the blood). No visible signs or symptoms.
This happened on May 2, 2012, barely three months after finishing NYSC. He studied Elect Elect from FUTA.
Bayowa, I miss you, we all miss you. The exit of a genius. He was 24 years old.

I lost my mum on september 11 2010, she died of liver problem. It hurt cos I never got the chance to pay her back all her kindess, I miss her so much


I lost my fiance April this year, she was in the 'the young luxerous bus that hit a tanker and everybody burnt to death. The worst part was that she was a copper and could have traveled earlier but the alawee was delayed so she went with her last card. She spoke with al thuogh on her way ontil her number said switched off. I never heard from her again. I still don't believe she is gone because the only thought I have of her is a lively girl. I stll cry till today and the love we had was somthing else. I just can't get over her.

floxyjerry70: the death of my husband after 2 years and six month of marriage may his soul rest in peace

binhozie: When I first came on nairaland I stumbled on a candle thread for lost loved ones, after going through it I made a mental note to be tough and brace myself for anything because I hadn't lost anyone by then. Now 4 years dadless, I can understand your pain
BUT
This is how I want you to think of it, because it helped me attain closure for my loss:
Irrespective of the way your loved one died, prolonged or instant, painful or painless, in your presence or absence, just think about them being in a better place (HEAVEN). DO NOT dwell on how they died, or how it could have been avoided. They are now better off than they could ever be here on earth.
May God grant us the fortitude to bear our losses. Amen
