‘I cursed the sterile white room where Ann died’


It was a cold and clinical room, devoid of any warmth or comfort. The harsh fluorescent lights overhead cast a harsh glow on everything, making the sterile white walls seem even more unbearable.

Ann lay motionless on the hospital bed, her frail frame a stark contrast to the antiseptic sheets that covered her. I held her hand, feeling the chill of her skin against mine, knowing that she was slipping away from me with each passing moment.

I couldn’t help but curse the room and all it represented – the hopelessness, the despair, the inevitability of death. It felt like a prison, trapping us in a world of pain and suffering.

As Ann took her last breath, I felt a wave of grief wash over me. The emptiness of the room echoed the emptiness in my heart, and I knew that life would never be the same without her.

I wished we could have been somewhere else, somewhere peaceful and serene, where Ann could have passed away surrounded by love and comfort. Instead, we were stuck in this sterile white room, a cruel reminder of our mortality.

I prayed that Ann had found peace in her final moments, that she was no longer burdened by pain or suffering. But as I looked around at the stark walls and cold machinery, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anger and resentment towards the room that had witnessed her last breath.

Even now, months later, the memory of that sterile white room haunts me. I can still hear the beep of the machines, the hushed voices of the nurses, the final gasp of Ann’s breath. It’s a memory I wish I could erase, but one that I know will always be a part of me.

So I curse the sterile white room where Ann died, a place that will forever be etched in my mind as the scene of my greatest loss. May it never again be a witness to such pain and suffering.
