My death was like a shooting Star passing by,my mother cried days and nights asking herself why it happened to her child.I used to think it'll be easy when i die well there i was, felt like everyone left me...

I didn't know what happened but what happened turns my strength down.It happened like a blink of an eye i found myself waking up in a site dirty site where my body lies hurtful I'm standing infront of it.It tried to lift it up but i couldn't coz it was too heavy for me in this side of life and i tried to scream but no one hears me i thought they were ignoring me,after few hours i saw people surrounded my body and showing each other,those who knew me were crying,shocked and devastated.They took my body and put it into a car,i developed a hope that maybe I'm sick, they were taking me to the Hospital but no they were taking me to mortuary.They took my body in,i tried to follow it but there was a man standing next to the door,he stopped me and tell me that I'm not allowed to enter.There were lots of souls outside waiting for their bodies.After 3 days my body was taken home,i was so happy to go home as I wasn't seeing home i was so lonely,and while i was happy at home i saw somethings strange happened And everything feels so lonely.There were relatives i haven't seen for years and they look so sad.In one of the rooms i see a mother of my child and my children crying,i called her by name she looked at me and came walking,she walked pass me through me.In their eyes pain was so clear..The next day i was taken to church in a shinning coffin for my service,everyone stood up a testify about me as a dead one,there were telling stories how we were closed and i was surprised to see them testifying about me infront of me at that time i wish my body and my soul are still one.The people i called my friends were not there, it's funny how they quickly forget,and there were so many people in this church.Instead of mourning my death they were fighting for my Will.What stressed me the most is that i felt lonely and i tried by all means to answer those who asked questions about me but they ignore like the never heard.I saw them posted my pictures and pen how much they miss,when i was alive no one posted me,it took me to die for them to appreciate me.The way these people treated me it's too late to apologize or take it back.They waited for me to die before they showed respect.Preachers we all over the table,after one finished preaching thy said they can open my coffin for everyone to see me.I Was so happy to hear that they'll see me but why they haven't seen me because I'm with them.The service went on until it was time to bury me,i could even say goodbye to my children or explain what happened to me to get here because they looked so shocked.After few days they buried me i was feeling cold,out of nowhere a man came said he was sent to come and get me.Along the way this man didn't talk,he only show me when we come across something or someone.We came to a place i can't describe,it was a noisy place because you can hear from the outside..When we get there i met a massive number of people and i was shown my family members who passed away.They questioned me wanted to know what happened to me to get here but i had no answers because i was full of happiness to see my loved ones.They told me that they heard me crying and begging to them while i was still alive but they had nothing to give because in that place they live by eating fruits only and they always come back in dreams in every family member alive saying they're hungry but no one responded.
