In Memoriam: My Beloved Mother

My mom was not the best mother in the whole wide world
My mom was not the kindest mother in the entire universe
But even so,
She was the best mother I ever hope for
She was the kindest soul I ever know
and I love her with all my heart

She was my best friend
Someone who always listened to my daily problems
Someone who always laughed with me
Someone who always shared things with me

My mom was a strong woman
She raised all three of us without the need for a maid
She helped my father supporting our little family
She was so strong, sickness rarely got to her

But…

It beat my mom’s strength
it gnawed her day by day
her strength fought it for few years
It won
It was cancer

It made her weak day by day
I had prepared my heart to be strong when the time finally comes

But…

I am only human
and she was the one I love the most
It broke my heart terribly to see her laying there unable to see me again

I came too late to say goodbye directly to her
But Allah still gave me time
To bathe her for the last time
To wrapped her in kafan
To kiss her cold forehead
To say my final goodbye
To see her being returned to earth
To water her grave with rose water
To pray for her peace near her grave

See you in heaven, mama
I will always pray for you in all my sholat
I am happy that you won’t feel pain anymore
You’re cured now
Allah will take care of you
till the day we meet again
Wassalamualaikum….mama

    She seems like a warm-hearted woman. I’m so sorry for your loss. My friend also recently experiencing loss of her mother. Hope God give you and your family strength, Novroz

      Thank you Andina
      Sorry for your friend’s loss.Losing a mother is really hard but I am hanging there.At least I know she wont be in pain anymore.

        Sorry to hear bout your mom. My grandmother died a year ago but I felt it was for the best when it finally happened because she was in very much pain for a long time. It would have been really stupid ans selfish to want to to let her go through that for an even longer time.

    Oh my dear, dear Novia, I’m so sad for you but you express your grief in such incredibly beautiful and heartfelt words.
    I’m sad to know your mother had to go like this but happy that she was loved so much.
    And that she loved you so much. I’m sure her love played a huge role in making you such a wonderful person.
    May she rest in peace.

      Thank you so much for the kind words Caroline :hug:
      These words are the reflection of my love for her. I miss her a lot, sometimes I still feel like she is still sleeping in her bedroom. I am happy she looked so peaceful when she died, as if she was asleep. Even my nephew (he is 16months now) thought she was sleeping and he was trying to wake her up.

    I am sincerely sorry for your loss, Novroz. Beautiful tribute, poem, and image.

    Oh Novia…. I am so sad to read this and my heart cries for you at this time of sorrow.

    There is never a way to make something like this better, but know that she waits for you where there will never be pain again…. and someday you will be together once more. My dearest wishes for you and your family.

    I am so very sorry,Novia. How utterly heartbreaking to lose such a special woman, someone you relied on and who was such a friend — your mother. I know how much this hurts and my heart is with you. Take care.

  7. CBCondez December 24, 2011 at 3:22 am

    Nov, my condolences. I’m really sorry for your loss. :(

    Novia, I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Your words are true and beautiful. Your mother is with God now and she is watching over her daughter with great love and tender care. You and your mother are in our thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.

  9. DEZMOND December 24, 2011 at 5:17 am

    I’m sorry to hear about this, Novia! The poem you wrote for her is beautiful and I’m sure she would be touched by your love!

    Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.

    I hope Allah always grants you and your family the strength and protection, and the finest place for her in heaven, Insya Allah.

    Amin.

    • Novroz December 24, 2011 at 6:35 pm

      Amin ya Allah.
      Thank you Dhitz :hug: you know, the hardest part of the ceremony was seeing her being wrapped in Kafan, the fact that I will never see her again hit me at that moment.

    I am so sorry to hear of the death of your beloved mother. I can not imagine the sadness and loss you must feel. I lost my Daddy 15 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of him and I imagine you will be the same way with your mother. Know that your friends are thinking of you and lifting you up. Her battle with the illness is over and she is at peace now. Rest easy in that knowledge. Blessings….

    • Novroz December 24, 2011 at 6:41 pm

      Thank you so much for the encouraging words Beth :hug:
      I know I will experience the same as you, she will always b in my thought. I will never curse she died because it was the day she finally freed from her illness.

  12. Fariz December 25, 2011 at 2:45 pm

    Inalillahi, just heard the news :( turut berduka miss, semoga arwah beliau diterima di sisi-Nya ya miss. Be strong, she’s in a better place now.

  13. xandimusic December 27, 2011 at 4:24 pm

    I’m so sorry for you! I’d be so sad….. :(

    Hi Novroz, what a beautiful eulogy for your mother. I’m sure she is watching with love and protection over you and Kroten & Kame. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Take care.

    • Novroz December 27, 2011 at 11:33 pm

      Thank you Maple Ma :hug:
      We are all hanging on to her memory and her best interest….we are sad but we let her go at the same time.Thank you for your support.
