Where death news is happier

Where death news is happier

When we hear about death, we feel much bad. Death feeling is much more bitter and painful than separation from our dear and near one. When one is far from us, there is hope in some deepest corner of our heart that some day or other we may have a glance of him or her somehow. But when we hear about the death news of someone near and dear, we can't stop bursting into tears; all the hopes, expectations, painful or happy-moments shared together start coming out through our eyes. We then have no hope of his glance ever in life as a person in front of our eyes. There is no greater pain than that of someone's death who is near our heart. None but a woman has deepest grief over her children's or husband's death.

We can easily understand what goes on a woman's heart when she wishes to hear about her child's or husband's death. There are so many women in Nepal whose children or husbands were captured especially by the Nepal Army (also by the then Maoist rebels) during the insurgency. Most of them have already grown weaker, physically and emotionally, over the years and happiness has vanished away. It's really an agonizing ordeal not knowing where and in what condition one's husband or child is at. There are many women who are in the hope of their missing men. They have been exhausted of trying and asking the government to make their loved-ones' whereabouts public. So, they demand the state to declare them dead or find them out and also action against guilty be taken. Some of them see no reason for living these days because they even don't know if their husbands or children are alive or dead. Many of them have been living on false hope for about 10 years that their loved-ones will come one day.

Families of the victims of forced disappearance say the government has not done anything to make the status of their kin known. Most of these families have lost their bread-winners, thus making their life an everyday struggle. They vent ire on the government for not taking their plight seriously.
