Yesterday, mom had fast for Haritalika Teej (like Karwa chauth but for 36 hours, and no water) Around 10 -11 pm, she didn't feel well. Couldn't sleep because of severe headache. She is also diabetic
But wouldn't break the fast because oh what if!
She did eventually fall asleep, but I was up all night thinking of inevitable. Stupid me saw a reel on Instagram where they talk about the silence at home when she is not there.
The weighing feeling of not having done enough for this one woman who gave everything to me.
Don't let them fast if they diabetic or HBP patients. Old people are like kids, you need to put your foot down.
Do you think she listens to me 😥
Very real. Thanks for talking about it
Diabetic people should not fast. No matter the reason.
After a certain age, it’s the kids responsibility to keep their parents alive. I do understand the aspect where they wouldn’t listen but you can do only so much. The best approach is to consult her doctor, communicate about the risks, and try to find a compromise—like modifying her fasting practice to ensure it’s safe for her condition.
So natural feeling, you never gonna feel like you have done alot for your parents.
it always feels whatever we do is less.
You have life with them and best part is you are an caring and loving child.
Do gestural things for your parents which gives them little happiness but with huge reflection of satisfaction to their heart.
Make her understand the consequences I know it is hard because I can totally resonate with you but you have to do it.
You can do it 😀
