“You all know about my husband’s sickness and passing,” Shagufta Ejaz said when discussing her mental health following her husband’s passing. You have witnessed every stage of my life in the days leading up to Yahya’s passing. Five months ago, we finally bid him farewell. I was taking my time processing this because it was really hard for me. I wasn’t feeling well. Mental health issues were evident to me. I felt depressed and let down. I believed that after him, life had become challenging. He was a supportive person in my life, even though I don’t have any job or opportunities. He used to support and encourage me.
“They say that a woman is always behind a successful man, but it’s the other way around too,” she continued. “My husband supported me no matter what.” He shared in our joy and sorrow. Iddat was something I did alone. My relationship with my children strengthened as I spent time with Nabiha and Eman. I read through your comments as well. I had no power. I also sought medical assistance for my depression. I also went to see a psychiatrist. The video can be found at this link:
