Two Tragedies, Close to each other

For the last 3 months or so, I have been a witness to two tragic events happening in my elder brother’s family. My niece, Alka, left this world after a long struggle with her ‘mysterious’ disease in July.( Ref.- ‘Alka Nangia’ in ‘Lakshya kee ore’ published by Geeta Prakashan, Hyderabad.)
Next, my brother (Alka’s father), V.B.Nangia, whose health was deteriorating on several fronts for the last 6 months, passed away recently on 3rd October, despite the best of treatments and care provided by his son, Arvind.These two deaths, so close to each other, have filled me with morose and depression. While praying for the peace of departed souls, I also ask God to provide strength to family to overcome the grief and to continue their journey in life with a renewed resolve into the future
