“Loss comes for everyone, but Mother had more than her fair share. Just when she dared to hope again, after rebuilding much of what had been stripped from her life, unbearable grief struck -- fracturing family, dreams, and hope. Yet she faced the agony head-on and continued living courageously. Now I understand why she shared her stories so often. Sometimes, the bravest people are those who acknowledge and accept loss as a fact of life -- seeking no saviours or fixers, but witnesses to a truly full life. Her Chahm became a quiet blueprint.”
