When life's storms come all at once, on days when the heart is almost unable to bear the burden.🥹🫶🏻
Hello, my lovely friends!
When a storm engulfs a mother's heart:
The pain of seeing her child ill but only being able to send her love and care from afar;
the burden of duty and responsibility;
as a daughter-in-law caring for her bedridden mother-in-law, she forgets her own exhaustion and the loss of assets saved for the future at a time when the family needs them most.
She is bearing the brunt of multiple storms simultaneously—as a mother, as a daughter-in-law, and as someone trying their best. Physical exhaustion can be recovered with rest, but the despair from the overwhelming problems is devastating.
When life's storms come all at once, on days when my heart feels like it can't bear it anymore, I sometimes wonder where the limits of human patience are. In the past few days, life seems to have tested me incredibly hard. It started with a long-distance phone call from Koh Phangan from my eldest daughter, who was ill and frail, and hospitalized. As a mother, my heart ached, and I couldn't sleep. Then there's my mother-in-law, who is now bedridden and had a fever for the past two or three days. My youngest daughter also developed a fever at the same time. Every inch of the house, once quiet, is now filled with the sounds of illness and anxiety. I've become the pillar supporting everyone in the house, even though my own shoulders are starting to tremble.
But then fate threw another test at me when my digital currency account, where I'd saved with my hard work, was hacked in an instant. That money wasn't just numbers; it was my hope. 😭
At this moment, I can only quietly ask myself, "Is there anything else I haven't encountered yet?"
Physical exhaustion pales in comparison to the loneliness in my heart. The feeling of walking through a storm alone, not knowing when the sky will clear, is incredibly desolate. I'm not writing this to dwell on my misfortune, but to vent the pent-up frustration that's choking me. I only hope that on these darkest days, there will still be a small light or a comforting word to let me know that I'm not fighting alone.
To everyone facing a similar storm, I hope you get through it. 🥹
