LOSING HIM

Death

It was a rainy day,I just sat there with my cup of tea, looking through some old albums, embracing the memories.

'Beep' 'beep'

My phone rang with its music playing loudly through the silent drops of the rain, sending chills up my spine. I reached out to get it, and holding it in my hands, I placed it on my ear ...

'Elle your husband has been in a accident! We have admitted him! Hurry love, he does not have long!'

My hand loosened its grip, allowing the phone to drop, my body stiffened , tears filled my eyes, I loosed my vission....

'Elle, Elle? How are you doing love?'

The comforting voice of my mother played within me as I gently opened my heavy eyes, only to realise the presence of my mother. She held on to me aiding me as I lifted myself from the bed...as I looked around,  I realised that I was in a hospital.....not far from my bed layed another with a man who was way to familiar... It was my Earl. I ran across the room to his bed, looking down at him... my eyes were filled with tears as they dropped onto his chest. Tubes were stuck into his mouth making his expression painful. That smile which once wished me loved was no longer there. His body was pale and stiff. He was braindead. I took his hands into mine and sat right next to him praying. It was so hard to accept the fact that he would be gone. My body kept sweating though I was in an air conditioned room, but I couldn't care less about being drenched in my own sweat. I just sat there with my head against his bed while holding his hands in mine.

Our relatives came the next day, to say their last goodbyes. Many came telling me that they were sorry but I just sat there an cried, taking in every second I had with him. My heart ached as I realised that I will not be able to spend time with the man I loved anymore.

I grabbed a pillow and sank my face into it, sobbing hysterically. I slammed my hands against the tiles though it hurt. I just couldn't bear the tought of losing him. We wanted to grow old together but he had to leave so early. My mom ran to my comfort and gave me a tight hug while sobbing. Later that night, our relatives left, leaving only a few of us to witness the death of my husband. That entire night I kept awake for it was my last day with him. I held his hands tightly against my chest that night.

Morning came, it was the day that I was to loose my husband to death. I just sat there crying,telling him that  loved him with all my heart and that I was sorry. Recalling all the great memories I had with him. The doctors came in to give him his last check before they removed his support system. They hugged me and told me to say my last goodbyes. I sucked all my pain in knowing that my Earl wouldn't want me to be crying this way  but instead he would want me to accept it. I went over to him and gave him a kiss, then ran over to my mom and hugged her, not facing him. The doctors did what they had to do.  They came over to me and gently told me that he was now in peace.

To be continued…
