At that time, I was a young man, just entering the university campus, and I was full of expectations and longing for the future. I became roommates with a guy named Wang Ming, we were from different cities, but we quickly became good friends with similar ideals.
Wang Ming is a cheerful and sunny person, and he can always bring endless happiness and optimism to the people around him. During our university years, we are inseparable from each other, helping and supporting each other, both in study and in life.
After we graduated, we went into society. Even though we came from different places, we kept in touch and got together once in a while to reminisce about those great college days.
Until one day, I received a piece of news that shocked me. Wang Ming died in a car accident, and the news came so suddenly that I couldn't believe my ears. I rushed to his house and saw his wife on her knees, crying and begging me for a few days. I burst into tears, I didn't know how I was going to face this reality. Wang Ming was like he was just joking with me yesterday, how could he leave us like this?
His wife lifted her tear-drenched eyes and told me some of the events of Wang Ming's life. She said that Wang Ming had mentioned that he hoped that at his funeral, some relatives and friends would come to see him off for the last time. She begged me to help her protect Wang Ming's body and wait for distant friends and relatives to arrive.
I felt deeply guilty when I heard her plea. Wang Ming is my best friend, how can I not be there for him when he is gone? His wife's terrible cry made my heart ache like a knife. I decided that I must help his wife protect Wang Ming's body and wait for the moment when he passed away.
During these few days of guarding, I felt like I was stuck in a kind of dream, and those years of college kept coming back to my mind. The images of us going to class together, playing ball together, and reading all night together made me both painful and happy. During this time, I also deeply felt the strength and difficulty of Wang Ming's wife, who faced the uncertain days ahead alone, but tried her best to protect the person she loved in her heart.
Soon, Wang Ming's distant relatives and friends also came one after another to attend his funeral. At the funeral, I met a lot of former classmates, all of whom had lost a friend, and they were all crying heartbreakingly. Together with them, I saw off our mutual best friend, and we did not reluctantly leave until his coffin was laid in the grave.
When I left the cemetery, Wang Ming's wife said to me, "Thank you, you made Wang Ming not lonely on his last journey." His heavenly spirit will be grateful to you. ”
I nodded lightly and didn't speak. I know that this is my last confession to Wang Ming.
After a while, Wang Ming's wife and I still kept in touch, trying to support her when she needed help. However, it didn't take long for me to suddenly receive an unexpected **. On the other end, I heard the anxious voice of Wang Ming's wife, who told me that there was a disagreement between her and Wang Ming's family, which had led to a serious dispute, and she begged me to help her solve the problem.
When I heard the news, a complex contradiction instantly surged in my heart. After all, Wang Ming's wife and I are not relatives, and although we have mutual friends and bonds, do I have the right to intervene in conflicts within their families? However, thinking of the promise left by Wang Ming when he passed away, I still decided to go for a while.
I went to the home of Wang Ming's wife and met her and Wang Ming's parents and some other relatives. They were all a little surprised to see me coming. Wang Ming's wife took my hand and thanked me repeatedly, and she told me that Wang Ming's family had made some demands on her because of some family relationship problems, which made her feel very confused and painful. When I heard the specifics of the question, I also began to feel incredulous, it turned out to be a dispute involving property inheritance and family disputes.
I know very well what this question means for Wang Ming's wife, and as a first-hand witness, I also have some insights on this issue. Looking at Wang Ming's posthumous photo, I felt as if I heard him talking to me, he was a seemingly strong but soft-hearted person, so this dispute undoubtedly cast a shadow on his soul.
I took a deep breath and stepped forward to try to defuse the argument. I told Wang Ming's family that as a close friend of Wang Ming's life, I knew that he wanted the whole family to be united and harmonious, and not to have disputes over money. I talked about Wang Ming's care and love for his family when he was alive, hoping to persuade them to put aside their disputes and solve the problem peacefully together.
After some persuasion by me, Wang Ming's family gradually calmed down. They nodded in agreement, realizing that the quarrel was not what they wanted. In the end, after some negotiation, they found a fair and reasonable solution, and also left a fair family inheritance for Wang Ming's wife. This conflict was satisfactorily resolved through my mediation.
After the funeral, I kept in touch with Wang Ming's wife and wanted to help her in times of need. However, it didn't take long for me to get the news of her divorce.
It turned out that after Wang Ming's death, Wang Ming's wife had been in a state of great grief, especially in the days when she couldn't bear her husband's departure. In the midst of her grief, she began to become emotionally unstable, and she was immersed in the memory of her deceased husband all day long. Her situation even caused concern among her family and conflicts arose with her. Stress and conflict at home eventually led to a rift between her and her family, which eventually led to her divorce from her husband.
After hearing the news, I decided to go to her and see if she needed my help. When I arrived at her home, I found that it was a mess, completely different from the warm home I had been a few years ago. She sat on the couch with a tired face, her eyes glazed over. I sat down and tried to communicate with her, hoping that she would be able to move on from her grief.
I know you must be having a hard time, but everything will be fine. You need to be strong, you still have a long life ahead of you and you can't dwell on the sadness of the past all the time. "I tried to enlighten her.
You don't understand, after he left, I felt that the whole world had changed, and I could no longer find the clear self I used to be. Her tone was full of helplessness.
Yes, I understand your feelings. But you can't just stay in sadness, you need to pick yourself up and face life again. Maybe you can try to get a job or attend some social events to keep yourself busy as much as possible. "I tried to give her some advice.
I don't know ......I feel like I can't do anything now, it's like I'm living in a dream, everything is so unreal. I felt like my whole body was broken. There was utter despair in her eyes.
I looked at her with a sense of powerlessness. I don't know what else I can do for her, but I know she needs my company and support. Perhaps, the healing of time and the soul also needs a process.
After sending Wang Ming away, I was able to get back in touch with his wife. She would often call me **, talk about some family things, and invite me to her house to sit.
Some time ago, I received her **, and she said to me: "I've been in a bit of trouble at home recently, can you come and help me?" Hearing her say that, I hurried to her house. It turned out that her in-laws disagreed with her because of some trivial matters, and the relationship became tense, sometimes even to the point that everyone disagreed. For the sake of Wang Ming's face, she always endured it. But this time, she couldn't bear it anymore.
While I saw it in my eyes, my mood was also very conflicted. I understand her, and I can understand her in-laws' worries and expectations, after all, the contradictions in the family are like arrows on the string, and they must be prevented. I discussed with her how to resolve this conflict, and I advised her to deal with it calmly and not to get emotional with her in-laws on the spur of the moment. We racked our brains about how to convince both parties to resolve the dispute in the family.
Time flies, and I gradually buried Wang Ming's death in my heart and continued my life. By chance, I met Wang Ming's wife on the street. She looked haggard and had a hint of sadness in her eyes. We chatted for a while, and she revealed to me the recent situation.
It turned out that after Wang Ming's death, his family underwent great changes. Wang Ming's parents had a heated dispute with her over the inheritance, and the family, which had always been on good terms, fell apart. The issue of Wang Ming's estate became the focus, and his parents resorted to some extreme measures in order to pursue more interests. Wang Ming's wife was tortured because of this, and her already fragile heart was hit hard again.
Hearing this, my heart was filled with anger and sadness. As Wang Ming's best friend, I really can't understand why Wang Ming's family is so cold and selfish. They are family members with flesh and blood, but they have become intrigued because of money problems. I deeply understand that this is Wang Ming's tragedy, and it is also his family problem.
Faced with Wang Ming's family dispute, I felt at a loss. Of course I wanted to help his wife, but I knew very well that it was a choppy family struggle. I often get caught up in a contradiction where I want to help but can't do anything about it. The whole thing was so tricky for me that I didn't know what to do and then ......
