Healing in the warmth of my mother, sister, and celebrating the simple joys of togetherness

My life turned upside down in the last couple of months when nothing seemed to be working in my favour. Unfavourable circumstances exposed me to stark realities of life that I was completely unaware of.
It left my soul bare, broken, and scattered into a million pieces that might take ages to heal. I realized no matter how hard I tried, healing couldn’t come from my efforts only. Healing is not something linear either.
As I was living away from my family, I completely relied on myself for healing me but I was wrong thinking that I could heal myself completely, as I felt that I was a strong lady.
I moved closer to my family a week ago. This was the decision taken by me and my husband after assessing the intensity of the situation and the support that can come from our families naturally.
It’s a common saying in India that “A woman is the enemy of another woman”, but after receiving generous help and support from other women whom I barely knew during such a challenging situation in my life, I can never agree with this statement.
