She recounts personal and observed moments of immense courage, emphasizing the importance of compassion, listening, and staying present amidst difficult circumstances.

My mother was also a cancer fighter. She won the struggle, Alhamdulillah. Despite this, she continued to provide unwavering support and care to all of us while dealing with our teenage issues. Even at her most vulnerable moments, she made an effort to appear good, happy, and powerful. I adore you, mama! May Allah aid all cancer warriors around the world.

The thing I like the most about watching TED talks is the fact we’re able to see a whole life experience from a perspective of a relevant and observant person in a few minutes. This was intense and emotional and I didn’t even had to live a whole life to understand the feelings, cause she kinda did it for me, for us. Life is a beauty and sometimes a nightmare, but it is what it is, we gotta face it and enjoy our precious time with people we love. Thanks for sharing this message, this perspective.

Totally agree. Daring those emotions is a trial that puts bungee jumping in the shade but when you're in it it doesn't seem like anything other than doing what you need to do.

Thoughtful talk. Thank you for reminding me that loving my sister during a horrible time in her life was not in vain, even though she died alone. Long story.

TRULY TRULY TRULY AMAZING. There was pure genuinety and emotion in her story which went straight to the apex of my heart. ❤
"To do love, to be love" - that's brave. ❤

Very powerful and moving - I feel seen as a caregiver. Thank you for telling me I am being brave even when I often feel so unprepared and definitely untrained for this role. Thank you ❤ I needed that.
