Yesterday has been an emotional rollercoaster ride...

Yesterday has been an emotional rollercoaster ride for me, with my health starting to decline again and struggling to get a good night’s sleep coping with the pain. Feeling restless to keep up with the renovation work at #TheOldForgeCottage 🏡

And then to make it worse, woke up in the morning with sad news from Malaysia…my brother-in-law, his wife and their 2 little children have tested positive for #coronavirus! I can’t help but think how they’re going to manage their 2 kids when they themselves are unwell. I’ve been unwell myself for so many years and I know how hard it is to juggle in between your illness and to care for your children. And when I came across the news of @sitisarahraissuddin my heart just sank for her husband @shuibsepahtu and their kids…😭

On top of that, whenever I read the news or scroll through social media, reading all those sad news of people losing their loved ones every day makes me so emotional…I cried. My heart trembled. The memory of losing my beloved brother Adamdidam 2 years ago came back haunting me. I can still remember the feelings. It feels just like yesterday. It still feels raw. I can still remember that day, we were all getting ready to pray Maghrib when the phone rang. As soon as I saw the number on the screen, I panicked. It’s my father’s number from Malaysia. And the fact that it’s not even Fajr time yet in Malaysia, I knew right away that something must be wrong! That’s when we lost our beloved @adamdidam 💔

May Allah grant a complete healing to those who are fighting any type of illnesses and blessed us all with a long, healthy and quality life. If you’re feeling down, heartbroken, unwell, grieving, fighting your illness, or in any difficulty and you’re reading this…please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you! Please know that you are not alone - have faith - The Almighty is always with you 🤍

Love,
Mrs Mom
