I lost another uncle

I just heard the sad news my uncle on my mother's side had just passed away this morning. He had been suffering from prostate cancer for awhile. I knew his time would come as the doctor attending him said that it was already in advanced stage and gave him a few months to live. When I visited him, my amit (his wife and my mum's very close older sister) was full of hope. She was angry to the doctor for telling her that his ailment couldn't be cured. She said that Doctors should be more positive. I was just nodding my head to show my agreement though I knew in my heart that doctors cannot give false hope to us. That is why when my mum fell into a coma and lost her pulse, I was never angry to the doctors at A&E for informing us to brace for the worst. I could see that they were trying their very best. What is important for us I think is never to give up hope and continue to pray to Al-mighty. To my uncle may you rest in peace. Amin. Al-fatiha.
