Happy Mother's Day

Have not been wishing this to mak for 2 years already. Yup since she left us for good. Rindu yang bersarang di hati ni makin lama macam makan diri sendiri. 
Lately things are not that good at some areas in my life. Dulu, paling tidak I would just picked up the phone or press her mobile and talked to her. The moment I talked to her all those craziness in my mind would entangle; and I would be fine then.
But that was years before when she was strong to go thru her own life and took care of herself. When she was bed ridden to watch her smile was a magical moment to us.
Aisshhhh I dont think I can continue this entry....

Salam Aidil Adha

Salam people

It has been a while.
Silence sometimes drift ppl apart. As for me silence keeps me in touch with ppl whom i love and miss to be with. Who else? Abah, mak and azmin. These 3 great ppl hv left me with no connection in what ever means. It hurts so deep. It touches me badly.

Today we muslims celebrate Aidul Adha. Those in Mecca celebrate their complete journey of Hajj. Reminds me of abah and mak when we did our Umrah years back..years after Azmin left us for good.
Frankly at times I do feel to be there again ...to give myself surrender my heart and soul. Not only that.. In fact to collect all those moments spent with abah and mak; the journey we had together.
But of coz being human, missing these 3 ppl will be everlasting..endless. It has no end.

I see them in my dreams. I long to talk to them, touch them, even giving them my hugs that will not be released. But that is merely hopes.. That will definitely will be granted when we meet again one day. The day that has no indication but surely one fine day.

While their absence will continuously be felt, my prayers go to them. May all the good deeds have equipped them with the endless peaceful. Al fatihah.

Redha?

A few ppl did ask how am i doing?
Well i am just doin' fine.

If u ask me do i still have those sad, sorrow and down feelings, my answer would exactly be Yes of coz. 

I am no robot... I am human. I hv feelings.
Someone made a statement i should have let it go or redha...
Who am i to question Allah's decision?

Redha I am. But losing a mother... A mother who raised u, sacrificed for u, put your needs first instead of hers for more than 40 years, dont I have the right to be sad...

Watching her ups and downs, her sufferings and her painful moments was something that i would keep close to my heart.

I treasure my mother's love.. Which i hv been deprived off since her passing.
Its my right anyway.

To those who dont understand, you should see things in a different way.
Life is like a box of chocolate...
We dont know what will happen to us next.

So live life to the fullest. If u miss someone just say it out.

I miss mak... 
I have let u go
But i will still cherish all those moments spent with you till the end of my life!

Pagi JUmAaT


Kalau dulu bila mak masih ada, bila teringat kat mak tak kira la kat ofc ke kat umah ke senang aje. Pegi je umah mak or paling tidak call aje mak.

Sejak mak sakit, phone pun mak tak larat nak jawab. 

Sekarang nak hadap muka mak pun takde. Yang tinggal cuma bilik mak ...
Kosong... Sepi.

Pagi tadi sempat ziarah mak.
Pegi ngn Ros.
Macam satu kelegaan bila dah ziarah mak.
Sedekah yaasin dah fatihah utk mak ngan abah.

Terasa sangat mak takde. 
Lebih 40 tahun hidup ngn mak.
Kalau Tuhan bagi pilihan mau aje aku ikut  mak.



That FINAL GoodBYe

I don't know where to begin actually. Too many things in my mind. Too many flashbacks ...

But one thing for sure I miss you Mak. Though orang kata yang patah, tumbuh, yang hilang berganti... But not for you MAK.

I am writing this as this would be the best down memory lane that Jo, Ed and myself had with you.
Seeing a person with cancer live and end her life is something that cant be described in words. A reminder to myself as well. 

Tiga tahun lepas, masa mula2 mak di diagnosed ada cervical cancer, it was a shock to everyone esp arwah abah. But at that time Mak was very strong. She went thru all those painful stages. I saw her went thru all the emotional roller coaster ... when she was in pain, when she was emotionally down, when she cried, when she was in the state of confusion, when she missed abah. All that made her a stronger person inside and outside.

I 'saw' her back on her feet again after the chemo and RT.  Well, it was not easy for a woman at her age. But the big C to certain extend has 'crippled' her life ... her movement was a bit limited and she was not as energized as before. But this did not affect her duties as a loyal wife, a caring mak and a good granny.
But abah's passing a year ago dented her life emotionally. She looked strong outside but I knew that she cried deep inside her. She was at her best and good health only for perhaps 5 months when she started complained of her unbearable nerves pain.

Then it all started again. After 3 years, the Big C attacked her for the second time and this time it was not good.. Not good at all. Mak keluar masuk hospital since July. As usual, me and my bold actions at times... Aku beranikan diri tanya Doc what was wrong with mak when she was finally strolled to Oncology ward. As expected (but I was in denial for quite some time)... mak dah stage 4. Tumor dah spread to spine. Doc cakap mak hanya ada 3 bulan je. 3 bulan!!

And then it all began.
Keadaan mak sepanjang bulan Ogos hingga November memang meruntun jiwa.
The first one and half month, mak masih boleh ketawa, joke around, makan and minum. Cuma pergerakan agak terbatas. Mak dah permanently on wheel chair again. I could see that at times she fought. But this time round she slowly surrendered.
Sejak abah takde, Ed la yang duduk umah mak and jaga mak. Aku ngn Jo dtg masa weekend and cuti.
HUKM Doc pun dah arranged nurse dari HOSPIS datang untuk check keadaan mak.  Banyak tips dan nasihat diberi macamana nak monitor keadaan mak.

As expected, at her stage,  mak makin sakit... zero improvement. Kalau mak nak makan pun dah cukup bahagia aku adik beradik.  'That shows the cancer is spreading very fast" kata Sharon, the Filipino nurse yang datang from HOSPIS. Dosage morfin mak di increased kan. Aku adik bradik pun dah hafal apa jenis morfin yang mak ambik.. ada oxynorm ada oxycontine....Ada yang kena consumed by hourly and ada yang kena consumed bila rasa sakit.  Masuk bulan kedua sakit mak makin memuncak. Dosage dinaikkan lagi sampai mak pun dah tak lalu nak telan ubat. We knew that sometimes she didn't swallow the capsule at all. Kadang2 terjumpa kat tepi katil ke.. celah bantal ke. Nampak sangat masa tu Mak macam dah lost hope.

Kalau dulu bila sakit mak akan cakap dia sakit. Tapi masa tu mak tak larat dah kot. Mak dah mula kurang cakap. Kurang makan... tp masih lagi minum susu. Sharon pun dah kerap datang. That indicated how serious mak's condition was.

Bila mak dah tak larat nak telan ubat, Sharon bagi morfin thru patch kat badan mak je. The morfin ran thru her blood vessel. Patch morfin will be replaced once in 3 days. On patch morfin, sekejap je mak ok. Pastu mak sakit balik. Kali ni every time sakit mak akan mengaji, ucapan allahuakbar , astaghfirullahal azim sentiasa di bibir mak. Then patch morfin di increased kan jugak dan ditambah dengan morfin thru injection.

Paling menyedihkan bagi aku bila bab nak bersihkan mak setiap pagi. Ros akan datang tiap pagi untuk bersihkan mak. Kalau aku cuti dan during weekend aku take over. Masa tu la mak akan menahan kesakitan kadang2 sampai keluar air mata dia. Kalau ikutkan perasaan memang aku pun tak tertanggung dengar rintihan mak. At this point semua nerves mak sakit. Tak boleh tersentuh dia akan mengerang kesakitan.

Alhamdulillah aku dapat cuti di minggu terakhir mak. Aku pun masa tu dapat rasakan sesuatu yang tak kena.
Lepas cuti Deepavali aku cuti lagi. Kali ni mak dah terlampau kurang cakap. Respons yang amat kurang. Cuma angguk atau geleng aje. Suara mak pun antara dengar dan tak aje. Bila tidur ngan mak malam2 , mak akan terjaga  setiap satu jam. Dengan suara yang lemah mak akan menyebut Alahuakbar dan Astaghfirulahalazim tak henti2. Bila saat mak sakit camni aku bacakan yaasin utk mak..most of the time aku yang banyak broke down dan ambik masa nak habiskan yaasin sebab tak sanggup tgk keadaan mak.

Dua hari tido ngan mak, aku banyak bercakap ngn mak walaupun mak tak bercakap ngn aku. Aku bisik kat telinga mak, mak kenal ke sape ni? Mak angguk perlahan sambil sebut nama aku ...
Masa ni dah ramai kaum famili yang datang tengok mak. Mana yg kenal rapat ngn mak mesti menahan sebak dan kluar dari bilik mak dengan mata merah.

Masa aku jaga mak, satu pagi (Khamis) mak panggil aku...mak sebut nama aku .... haus katanya. Aku bagi mak minum. That was the last time aku bagi mak minum. Sebab hari Jumaat malam mak dah semi unconscious. Sabtu dan Ahad mak macam tu gak. Mak dah tak bersuara. Bila pegang badan pun, mak dah tak bagi respon yang dia sakit.

Hari Isnin, masa aku datang pagi tu.. macam biasa Ros ada untuk tolong bersihkan mak. We changed everything. Kali ni agak senang sbb maybe mak dah tak berapa sedar. Lps bersihkan mak aku sedekahkan yaasin.

Ada sedara yag datang melawat semua nasihat jangan tinggalkan mak sesorang. Memang aku ada je kat seblah mak. Tghari tu aku sempat suh Amir cium mak sbb nak pegi skolah. Lps hntr Amir terus balik.
Dalam kul 3 ptg Sharon datang. Seeing mak, she said mak was not in good condition. Ada rattling sound on her breathing. She said that was nothing actually. She gave meds so that mak tak produce saliva. She couldn't find mak's pulse. BP dua kali baru dapat reading. Sharon looked at me and told me "if like this, only a few hours left". I dismissed Sharon's prediction. by 330 pm Sharon left.

Masuk Asar aku sembahyang and sedekah yaasin sekali lg untuk mak. Then I had my 'last' conversation with mak. 'Mak kitorang redha mak. Semua orang dah maafkan mak. Mak jangan risau. Ida, Jo Ed semua menantu dan cucu cucu mak semua akan OK. Tak sanggup tengok mak sakit camni". Finally mak bukak mata. Tp her pupils were not moving. Cuma blinking sesekali. Mak macam nak cakap something tapi riak muka mak macam menahan sedih dan menangis. Aku menangis teresak2 kat sisi mak sambil pegang tangan mak. Tinah keluar tinggalkan aku ngn mak masa tu.
Aku cium tangan mak. Dah berkali2 aku mintak maaf ngan mak. Kali ni aku mintak maaf lagi ngan mak...


Finally, at 550pm on Monday Mak menghembuskan nafas akhirnya. semua terjadi depan mata aku. Sempat aku, Ed, Ros dan Ju bisik kat telinga mak dua kalimah shahadah. Masya allah. Ketika itu jugak aku pegang tangan mak. cium dahi mak..peluk mak...
Jo and Oya sempat tatap mak sampai denyut nadi mak yang terakhir dan hilang dengan perlahan2.
Aku jadi kaku ... lost... tak tau nak buat apa...seketika. Rasa macam jiwa aku melayang skejap. Ros usap belakang aku comforting me.

Mak sah meninggal kan aku Jo dan Ed tepat jam 550 ptg. AllahuaKbarrrrr.....
Innalillahiwaiinailaihi rojiunnn.


Mak selamat disemadikan di Tanah Perkuburan Sg Kantan - 17 Nov. As the only daughter, i took the opportunity to mandikan mak dan pakaikan pakaian akhir mak sebelum disemadikan. Masya Allah, mak disemadikan bersebelahan dengan arwah abah. Alhamdulilahh... Semuanya selesai dalam pukul 10.00 am.
 
Tiap kali masuk bilik mak, mesti nak pandang katil mak. Tp kosong. Yg tinggal cuma bantal mak.

Esok tu, aku kemas almari mak. Susun semua pampers dalam almari. Ed kata nak sedekahkan aje kat Sharon biar dia bagi kat mana-mana patient lain. Ubat2 morfin mak masih banyak pun nak pulangkan Sharon balik.  Masa lipat baju dan kain mak. setiap kain dan baju tu aku cium dan tarik nafas sedalam-dalamnya. Rasa macam taknk hilang bau mak...

Jo dan Ed bukak reclining katil mak and terus simpan dalam stor. Bilik mak dah tersusun macam sebelum ni... macam mak ngan abah masih ada. Mungkin Ed dan Ju paling terasa sebab setahun jugak ddk dan jaga mak permanently. Dan Ros yang tiap pagi akan datang bersihkan Mak.
Apa lagi aku adik beradik yang dilahirkan oleh Mak... yang dibesarkan oleh Mak..

Takde apa yang nak diungkapkan saat macam ni.
Cuma aku berterima kasih pada suami, adik beradik dan ipar2 yang memahami keadaan mak.
Tak lupa juga Bos no 1 dan Queen yang memahami.
Team aku yang banyak beri moral support kat aku.
dan Sharon and Intan from HOSPIS yang tak jemu-jemu bagi tips, advice dan nasihat.

Sesungguhnya aku adik beradik dah cuba bagi yang trbaik utk mak.
Semoga mak aman di sana.
The most painful day in my life...selepas abah pergi 1 Oct 2014.
If were given choice, I would follow you Mak..Abah...

10 nov 2015

Here again. In front of mak. Muka mak nampak bersih. 

Mak bukak mata bila aku bagi salam dan sahut salam aku.

Ku usap pipi mak. Terasa sejuk. Mak cuba bukak mata bila aku sentuh pipi mak. Aku usap ubun2 mak. Aku cium dahi mak, pipi mak. 

Tak tertanggung mata aku tgk macam ni.
 
Tika air mata aku tak henti2 keluar, Tinah biarkan aku sendiri. 

Aku Trus ambik wudhu untuk bacakan yaasin untuk mak.
Ya allah ya tuhanku kau mudahkan segala2 nya untuk mak.
