#myfirstexpert story !
It
was 15th October, 2014 . At around 3 pm I got a call from my younger brother that our mother was not well and
she was being shifted to a nearby hospital. On reaching there I found her in
ICU with her left side absolutely numb, without any movement and while speaking
she was fumbling. Doctors present there at Vaishali hospital told that once she
is stable, we will go for an MRI.
A
senior doctor visited that private hospital after almost four hours and within
minute alarm bells were sounded by him. We were told that she was at a
critical stage and must be shifted to other hospital immediately. We rushed her
to a bigger hospital in Delhi
We
all were shocked. It was quite unexpected. We were shivering out of fear. We
waited at the gates of ICU for three days while praying to the God almighty for
her good health. But on 18th October at around 11.30 am she expired. We took her to our home, but due to
such a big shock, we had become so dumb that we knew nothing that what was to
be done next.
Till
she was alive, she was our first expert. We used to ask everything from her. We
used to discuss everything with her. But the things were quite different on
that day. She was on her death bed, lying silently in front of us. I wanted to ask her about her last rites.
I even asked a lot through my mind and heart. But she was absolutely silent. She
did not utter even a single word. I just cried, cried & cried, but
probably this was the first time, she was not answering. I looked absolutely helpless in the absence of my first expert.
Anyhow,
we did everything that we had learned from her in the early days, but probably
for the first time, without her consultations. Till date, we cry at least once a
day. We miss her a lot. We will always miss her a lot as she was our mother.
She was our First expert. She taught us how to speak, how to eat, how to walk,
how to write, how to smile, how to laugh and her last lesson taught us that how to cry.
Almost seven months have passed, but there is not even a single day when her memories Are not there in our mind. Even now she is very much alive in our thoughts, in our heart, in our mind, in our brain. On the very first day after her death, she came to us in our dreams and asked us to not to let her go. She even cried as she was not intending to go elsewhere. But we were helpless. We had no options. We asked her to stay in our hearts & asked her to visit us regularly in our dreams. And till date, there is not even a single night when she is not with us in our sweet dreams.
Our
first expert was really very sweet, very cute, polite, soft spoken and a very
well educated lady. She was always there whenever and wherever we expected her.
A teacher, philosopher and a true guide.
She even helped my kids to come up with a better way. She acted as a mediator in
case we had any interaction with our father. She acted as a big shield to save
us from the entire world. But we could do nothing to save her from the cruel
hands of destiny as the Doctors at the Vaishali Hospital
