Condolence Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

If we can just find meaning in departures
then the associated pain departs.

We are deeply shocked
on hearing the sad news
and pray for the noble soul
to dwell in peace
in the kingdom of God ..

इन आँसुओं को बह लेने दीजिये
दर्द में ये दवा का काम करते हैं
सीने में सुलग रहे हैं अँगारे जो
ये उन्हें बुझाने का काम करते हैं ..

My heart was grief-struck
when i heard the demise..
May the Good Lord give us
strength and courage to bear the shock and
give place to the departed soul in his abode..

Sorry to hear about your loss
but let me tell you are not alone
in this moment of grief.
Mr./Mrs. was equally dear to me &
I will always cherish his/her company.
If possible please share with me
last rites schedule..
