The Diary Game||Attending the burial Ceremony of my Neighbour
Greetings to you all friends.Lets continue to produce original and quality contents here.Permit me to write about how my day went today.
Details of the Day
Death is a cap which every mortal must wear irrespective of class,tribe or status.Our prayer is for us to die at old age.Death is indeed an enemy to man as it has taken its toll on my neighbour.
The person that we went for her burial was actually a woman who lives with her husband just before our own compound.The late woman is very decent and quiet.Everyone likes her because she is a lover of peace and gentle to the core.Her death was mourned by all and that accounts to why many persons in our street attended to pay her the last respect.
We actually hired an 18-seater bus that will convey us to Ohafia which is the hometown of the late woman.As early as 9:00 am the bus has already arrived waiting for us.We completed the basic morning chores,ate, freshened up and dressed for departure.By 10:am everyone was set,we entered the bus as it was filled to the brim and we left at exactly 10:10 am.
Brief Stop
We first stopped at St Anthony's Hospital Aba to pick the corpse, although it was conveyed with an ambulance.Our bus plied the Osisioma express way and straight to Umuahia and the from there we headed towards Ohafia.The bus was pacy enough.We got the Ohafia by 1:30 pm and the burial service commenced immediately at the church field.The place was spacious.
Burial Service Proper
The corpse during the burial service
In the course of the burial church service,the clergy made us to understand that death is inevitable and so it is important we amend our ways and live a good life because no one knows when death will come knocking.He concluded by consoling the bereaved family especially the husband of the late woman.
Testimonies About Her
Co-workers,church members,neighbours and village members of the late woman were called to say a few things about the woman and all of them said ams reiterated how good she was before her demise.Her body was laid to rest amid tears from all of sundry.It was a painful death.I know what I am saying.
At the burial
We left the burial site at around 4:10 pm and headed back to Aba. Fortunate enough there was no traffic jam and so we got back to our street by 7:20 pm.We thanked God for journey mercies.
May God grant the husband the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss!!
Death death it has taken most important people in our life, but we have hope in the resurrection day when we will see our dead loved ones again.
It's a way for all of us to follow, I mean that ultimate enemy of ours called death.
It's nice you were there to say goodbye
Dust we are, dust we came from and dust we shall return to.
You have fulfilled one of the biblical principles "mourn with those who are mourning",
Thank you so much @luchyl God is the chief consoler.I sincerely hope she would wake up on the resurrection morning.

Death is an enemy to man. May Jehovah console the husband and all friends and family members. It was indeed a great lost. It seems you forget to put your club statues. In no distance time, death will be no more. That was a promise from God at Revelation 21:3-4.
Thank you for reviewing my post @chichieze you doing a good job.Surely,In God's kingdom death will be no more.We are looking up to that time.I really feel for the husband.Honestly.
I have added the club status.I just forget it.
Alright that's pretty good
My dear death has no respect for mankind, it can call on any roof, is good we make our ways straight now because we don't know how tomorrow will be
You are right @mesola we that are alive need to amend our ways because Mr. death can come knocking at any time.Thank you for reading my post.
So painful and shocking to lose a loved one. May God console the family.
