Death

I never thought that dying can be as simple and as quick as switching a light on. Or as smooth as trying to swallow a big bite of banana. Or as horrific as anything you could see in a movie. But whichever way the end was met, all of them is true.

No one could really fathom the mystery behind death. It just feels a total loss and despair thinking that one's life can easily end in a second. Sometimes without a warning, sometimes a complete shock. And as the saying goes, death comes like a thief in the night. Accidents happen everywhere. Even in a sickbed, no matter how the family thinks they are prepared, it still comes as a terrible shock.

Even if you don't know the person so well, his or her death may strike you as a big blow. But some things are always true no matter how close you are to somebody who died. It is always sad. There is always pain. Grief may be unbearable. Denial may be inescapable. Life may be full of surprises. But death is the one who always surprises people.
