Suddenly Alone

The hospital room is cold, and there you are, holding your arms to keep warm as you sit immovable and your eyes fixated on the lifeless being next to you. The doctor’s words “We’ve done all we can,” resonate in your mind, forcing a new tear to roll down your cheek each and every second. You have sat in this very seat, for days, wondering, “If I lose you, who will be there for me?” Suddenly, you hear the heart monitor begin to let out a high pitched “beep,” speeding faster, intervals decreasing with time. You immediately stand up, and grab the hand of this being, and after only thirteen seconds, that “beep” becomes a long continuous sound that you were hoping to never hear. “So this what death sounds like” you say aloud. Your rock, your support system, the last person present for you to love is now non-existent – your mother has passed away.
