Al Fatihah
My bother-in-law passed away at 1414 today. He was on the ventilator for the past 5 days.
He went away with only me by his side. We were moving around, meeting doctors and relatives. Asked how long he could last, the doctor told me not till tomorrow. Mom-in-law told me a nurse said with that low BP, only 3 hours.
I don't know what prompted me to go in. I was standing there, looking at the monitor. I felt like saying something to him, but I just continued reading some verses from the Quran.
I was there for barely 1 minute when I saw the heart rate went from 34 to 0, then 19, then 0 again. I was still trying to comprehend that, when a nurse walked in and nodded to a doctor who was sitting outside the room.
The doctor then touched my elbow and said she was sorry, my BIL was gone. I've been strong so far, I only cried for my mom-in-law who just lost her son. But I also cried when I related the story of he went away, when I was there to a friend, why me and not someone else, not even mom-in-law. She said he chose to go with me besides him maybe as a way to thank me as I was the one who spent most time with him during his illness.
I can go on and on, but I have to go now. Knowing him, I know he just want us to move on.
Al Fatihah.
