What is the saddest thing you've ever seen?

 Author: Sara


So last year, when I was about 12 and my brother was 15. He was in the 10th standard and his board was going to start. So he used to study until 3 am in the morning. It was summer season and the place we live at has very high temperatures.

So, every day while he used to study and while studying if he bent his neck a little, then his nose would start bleeding very fast. So as it was summer season we thought it was because of the high temperature, but his exams were going to start so we took him to the doctor and he said it was normal and he gave few medicines and he was getting well after that.

But, after his exams were over his nose started bleeding again and he used to bleed from any part of his skin. It was just very painful to watch him like that.

On one night he went in the washroom he fainted in the washroom for about 3 times, but still, he stood up and came out from the washroom.

My parents immediately took him to the doctor and he asked to do a normal CVC (blood test). When the report came the doctor was in shock because his Platelets were 2200, that is of a person who is not alive

After that, he was admitted to the hospital. After a few months, we got a report of his bone marrow test Came and he was diagnosed with Aplastic anemia, which is a very rare disease.

He was admitted to the hospital for 6 months to get proper treatment. He went through a lot of pain. Our family was going a financial loss. And it was just not real to me.

During these days I developed a very good connection with him and we became very close. And I started depending on him for my studies and decisions and many more things.

Even after treatment for 6 months he was not getting well. We needed to go to the hospital every week. And it became a part of our life.

Slowly 2020 came and it was again just a normal year for us. We didn't celebrate it.

We thought this year he will get well and start living his normal life. He even dropped the 11th standard because of this disease. Slowly his body was responding and we thought he was getting normal, but it has been just a misconception.

As the month of March came we lost all our hopes.

I and my brother, we were just talking casually and we joked that you will leave this Earth on the 29 of March 2020, because he was first admitted to the hospital on the 29th of March 2019.

One day in the hospital doctor said to my Mom that he only has 16 to 18 days with him. Our whole family was crying and my brother was trying his best to be strong in front of us and act he doesn't care. But nobody wants to die without even living his/her dreams.

On 29th March he lost his senses, he was bedridden and unable to speak or eat. We were always taking his care. I was even unable to talk to him.

On 3rd April at about 2 am he left me, left the world.

I still miss you

Love you

This story really moved me. I hope you find your peace, Sara, and move on. I'm just gonna say what I have in my comment on the original Quora post: let yourself know that he did get the best on his deathbed: a loving family and such an amazing sister. Don't be sad because he's not in this world anymore; rather cherish those memories you have with him and be thankful to God that He allowed your brother to live for the time that he did. Hope you find your peace.

What secrets are you hiding from your parents?

Author: Shovan Chowdhury My mother always complains, “Why don't you save money for the future?” My father regularly tells me saving is one of the most effective weapons for middle-class families future uncertainties. I have had a job for over a year, but before the end of the month, my wallet is always empty—literally, no savings for the future. My parents think I waste money unnecessarily. But I don't smoke, neither consume alcohol nor buy expensive clothes. I also don't have any bad habit where I spend money irrelevantly. Last year, I visited many slums for official purposes. There I decided to help poor children personally after seeing their clumsy inhumane condition in slum areas.  So, I spend money from my monthly salary for poor children in help. A surprising fact is that most of the slum children want to go to school, and they love to draw pictures. I send money to them regularly for their admission and school fees. I also purchase stationery items (e.g...
