“These few days have been incredibly hard. Yesterday, I fed my mother breakfast, lunch and dinner which meant I couldn’t get to do anything else. It left me feeling unproductive, but it reminded me of the biggest things I’ve overcome: forgiveness.
I had to forgive my mother. I forgave her for not taking her high blood pressure medication on time, something that might have prevented her stroke and eventually her vascular dementia.
I forgave her for likely not being here when I have children, for not being able to do our traditional rites when a woman gives birth.
And I forgave myself for the way I’d acted at times, knowing she won’t be there. Over the years, I realized I was carrying a lot of anger and I finally let it go.
This experience is why I’m so passionate about speaking on health and prevention. I want to make sure others don’t go through what I’m going through now. Because it’s Fing hard. I just want the old times back.”
