The loss of our cousin

On the Dec 22, 2010 we had a very sad news of the loss of Pakcik Omar's only daughter, Nurul. The moment my dad told me the news, I was stunned and just couldn't believe it's true. My heart felt something.. Something that I can't really describe hw it was. I just felt sad.. I know she's the only daughter of 4 siblings. She had 3 brother and she's the youngest. I couldn't imagined how her parent (my uncle and auntie) shall bear the loss of their beloved daughter.

We were shocked, the whole family didn't know how to react. It was so sudden.. The cause? - the horrible accident, hit and run. I don't want to describe the details, cz we are now still grieving the loss of our beloved cousin.

No one knows why bad things happen to those so innocent and whose life has hardly begun. For now it will have to remain the painful mystery that it is. Losses like this can make us challenge our faith; however, this is precisely the time when our faith needs to be its strongest. I am praying that our faith will help us, especially our uncle n aunt, get through this very difficult time and help us to know that God's purpose, whatever it may be, is at work. I pray that we will find the strength to get us through our grief and sadness.

Innailillahiwainnalillahirajioun. To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.
