Shiela begins by reflecting on the impact her older sister Suzan had, stepping into a maternal role during their challenging early childhood as their mom battled rheumatoid arthritis. Shiela, an introvert, also shares how she navigated growing up closely entwined with her extroverted sister Suzan. From shared rooms at home to Suzan's role as a welcoming hostess during university, their connection was deep and enduring.As life unfolded post-university—landed jobs, marriage, and the birth of her first child—Shiela faced the unique challenges of being stationed upcountry away from her husband and 7-month-old son right after her wedding. Fortunately, the arrival of COVID brought her back home, but it was in 2021 that her life took a tragic turn during her second pregnancy.In the 32nd week, Shiela grappled with early contractions, desperately seeking medical attention. However, her concerns were repeatedly dismissed by healthcare providers, leading to a devastating outcome. The absence of a necessary scan during her visits to the hospital left her in the dark, and later a visit to a nearby clinic shattered her world – revealing the heartbreaking reality of losing her unborn child.Please tune in next week for the upcoming second part of Shiela's journey, where she bravely shares the challenges at the hospital, the anguish of delivering her deceased daughter, and the path to healing through the warmth of a supportive community.I am committed to enhancing your podcast experience.
