1QAD: What are you afraid to lose?

There are many things that I am afraid of. Spiders, crazy people, rollercoasters and crocodiles are some examples. And there are also many things that I am afraid to lose. I will list two for now.

I am afraid to lose my loved ones. This is inevitable. I will definitely lose someone or I will be the one they lose. It is scary to think about. But one day, the time will come. I have lost some precious people in my life and the grief never fades away. It is there, ready to surface whenever I think things are finally okay. However hard it may be, we will have to move on with their memories in our heart and pray that we will be reunited with them in Jannah. Insha Allah…

The second thing I am afraid of is linked to the first one. I am afraid to lose all my memories of myself and those who are important to me. I want to remember as much as I can about everything we went through together until the day I leave this earth. I have seen first hand how dementia can have an effect on a person and I pray that I will not have to see it happen to me or anyone else. It is heart wrenching to see someone who I love don’t recognise me or the people around them anymore. 

I can’t stop being afraid of losing these. I can’t stop any of these from happening. Everything is Allah’s will. Doa, Tawakkul and Redha. 

“Indeed, we belong to Allah and Indeed to Him, we will return.”
