Of my 10 years with Nirvana, this was the time where I personally experienced the feeling of pain and sorrow filling the air during the time I was showing the aged father, Mr. Song senior and his daughter-in-law for an urn compartment designated for his son, Wilson, who was suffering from ALS sickness.
This was also the time, the indescribable feeling of despair on Mr. Song's face having to arrange a funeral for his own child. The torment sitting thru listening to the detailed order of events. I can absolutely feel for him.
With the high spirit of Wilson, we had a Facetime session and exchanging messages over WhatsApp to conclude the identification of the lot, chosen by Wilson himself. Although he was suffering from this disease which has caused him to be immobile and unable to speak and swallow.
Five months later, Wilson bid farewell to this world. Left behind 3 school going girls and a teacher wife, with aged parents who have moved from Sibu to join him in recent years.
A solemn funeral took place at Nirvana Memorial Center, Sg. Besi, Kuala Lumpur. Many of his comrades who are suffering from the same disease came to pay respect to Wilson. They were also the pillar of strength to Wilson.
After the funeral, I have continued sending greetings and gesture messages to Mr. Song senior, keeping him accompanied spiritually during this difficult time while he embarks on the road to emotional healing.
