Hope is Lost

[Disclaimer: All personal opinion]

Something tragic recently happened to a friend of mine. I won't get into it but long story short, she lost her child without a proper reason to it as it was something that medically can't be explained. But what happened after the announcement of the tragedy is what really irked me, upset me plus pissed me off to the point I actually cursed on my social media post which I rarely do so.

There were ignorant people blaming that she may have caused the death and also insensitive people who tried preaching their own beliefs and ideals in the totally wrong timing. Worst still are people who tried to even bring in their own woe is me problems into their comments. My principle is that if you can't say anything nice or even wish just condolences then please shut the fuck up and move along.

I was even more angered when I heard from a friend that she overheard a group of people gossiping about the incident in a cafe and still insinuating that my friend caused everything to happen. My friend loved her baby more than she loved herself, everything she did was so that her child will have a better life than she had. Some people have told me that I'm being too emotional about this but I feel so angry and upset that useless fuckers get away with all these idiotic things that they are saying.

Somehow or other, the story got onto a public forum and rampant accusations are now happening when bulk of these people most likely do not even know her or even met her before. I have always believed that even in the most worst type of people, perhaps there is still sympathy or pity for these kind of cases but seeing the social media comments over the weekend and today on the public forum, I think it's safe to say that this hope and belief is lost to me right now. I have kind of lost my faith in humanity due to this.

I can only pray and hope that my friend is comforted by higher power or God. I can only hope that these people will get what they deserve. All I can feel right now is not even rage, just a deep sense of sadness mixed with anger because there's nothing I can do except to try to type out how I feel although my feelings can't even be explained at all which makes me even more sad because I'm someone who is outside of the situation and I cannot explain how I feel so I cannot even begin to imagine how my friend feels to have her privacy violated, her grief questioned but most of all, to lose her baby with no proper reason which leaves no defense to the stupid disturbing and harassing accusations going around. I wish I came back to this blog on a good note but I needed to type this down to remind myself that sometimes not everyone is good or have a heart.
