Description:

Caring for someone you love with AIDS can be a very trying and difficult task, and can leave you feeling pain long after the death of your loved-one. I not only say this because of what I’ve heard, but I say this due to living in an AIDS nightmare for years. AIDS claimed the lives of my brother, best-friend and I’ll go yet another step and say that AIDS claimed the life of my beloved mother (who could not get pass the grieving stage, and died due to being broken hearted) shortly after my brother’s death. In addition to witnessing my loved-ones experience many cruelties of the disease, I watched, as AIDS would devour their once strong bodies until their inevitable death. This would leave me struggling for my very own survival months after, but in time indeed came to make me strong.
