“We had even spoken over the phone, and he sounded better and said he would be discharged on Friday. Later, someone called me on his phone from the hospital and said he was no more,” .

The mother of one also talked about how she handled her low moments. She said sometimes when she is in bad mood, she consumes more food and can order food from different places just to feel a little better inside.

Her words:

“Whenever I feel low, food becomes my small friend. I can sit in my room and keep ordering meals from different places, just to feel a little better inside. I know it is not the best coping method, but in that moment, it comforts me.

“Sometimes when I am broke and stressed, my daughter gets the rough side of me. I snap easily and complain about small things, because my mind is heavy. Later I feel bad, because she is actually the one who feels my mood shifts the most.

“Being aware of this helps me try to do better. I am learning to pause, breathe, and check my feelings before I take them out on people I love. The journey is not perfect, but I keep growing, one meal and one lesson at a time”.
