Journal #7 Other Way to RunAway

I saw dead people at work place all the time. I was a nurse (or you can say “used to be”, ha) before, so I thought this is a normal process in all creatures in the world. People die because of the illness, getting older or the accident. For me, I can’t bear with people dead accidentally because it is too sad for me for the unexpected death. However, my aunt who died unexpected and I feel sad about her lost.

My aunt was a traditional woman who had 6 children, 5 girls and 1 boy, and had a husband without any responsibility. She did everything she can do to earn the money paying for daily life expense but her husband always kept drinking. However, my aunt never complained and she always thought that her husband was too young and might get change someday. I remember that day when the bad news came. It was a cloudy day. The telephone was ringing sharply, not like the usual sound. My mom picked up the phone and started crying. I was just 7 or 8 years old, and never saw my mom crying. She hung out the phone sadly and talked to my pa. My parents then took us to the hospital. When we arrived hospital, my aunt is on critical and then passes away soon. My aunt killed herself with poison when she knew her husband betrayed her.

Since today, I still feel sad but that maybe the other way she can escape from such situation. I think.
