I am sure that this is both healing and incredibly painful to write and remember all at the same time. I'm sure it will help and comfort so many others.

It is painful. The very notion of death is hard. You know, as I read your story and knew that you are a MOTHER, I remembered the Palestinian mothers and pregnant women and their unbearable sufferings. You are strong

I can't even begin to dig into that conflict because of the genocide that is happening to Palestinian children and women. My heart aches for the trauma they are experiencing.
