The mourning horns sounded through the rain, their sorrow echoing off the old tin roof. In the center of the courtyard stood a yellow coffin resting on two wooden stools. Mourners surrounded it, heads bowed in grief for the young woman who had died during premature labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was only 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since marrying into the family, she had been respectful, kind, and deeply devoted \u2014 treating her husband\u2019s parents as her own. Her mother-in-law would often say with pride, \u201cHaving a daughter-in-law like her is a true blessing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But fate was cruel. Barely a year after the wedding, tragedy struck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One late night, she doubled over in pain, sobbing. By the time they rushed her to the hospital, her condition had deteriorated beyond saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The baby never cried. Grief consumed the family. The mother-in-law fainted again and again. The father-in-law sat motionless, staring blankly at the smiling photo placed atop the coffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it was time to move the coffin, eight strong men stepped forward. But no matter how hard they tried \u2014 it wouldn\u2019t budge. Their faces flushed, veins bulged, arms trembled, but the coffin remained rooted in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whispers rippled through the crowd. A monk, standing quietly at the side, spoke softly: The family froze. With trembling hands, they finally unlatched the lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gasps filled the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside, two dried tear streaks stained her face. Though her eyes were closed, her lashes were still damp \u2014 as if she had wept not long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Madam Hong, the mother-in-law, collapsed beside the coffin, clutching her daughter-in-law\u2019s hand. Her cries echoed through the courtyard: The crowd stood in stunned silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, suddenly \u2014 a gut-wrenching sob broke the stillness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He fell to his knees, face buried in his hands, sobbing uncontrollably. Everyone turned to him in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mother-in-law\u2019s voice cracked as she cried out: With tears streaming down his face, eyes red and swollen, he finally looked up and whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe night before she died\u2026 she told me she was afraid of being forgotten.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At that moment, the weight lifted. The men tried again \u2014 and this time, the coffin rose easily into the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The mourning horns sounded through the rain, their sorrow echoing off the old tin roof.

And she\u2026 slipped away, forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe must be holding on. Something is unresolved.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOpen the coffin. She may still have something to say.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy child\u2026 please, don\u2019t cry anymore. If something is left unsaid, tell me. Please\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSon\u2026 what is it? Did she say something to you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
