The death of a person dear to one's heart is one of the most painful experiences in life. For a young man, losing his mother (who is dear to his heart) is like losing the world. This is the reality that is about to hit the son of Dr Nadia Chaudhri.
According to the Pakistani British neuroscientist (@DrNadiaChaudhri on Twitter), she will reveal to her young son that she is dying from cancer. She wrote;
"Today Is the day I tell my son that I’m dying from cancer. It’s reached a point where he has to hear it from me. Let all my tears flow now so that I can be brave this afternoon. Let me howl with grief now so that I can comfort him."

Our hearts broke. We cried a lot. And then the healing began. My son is brave. He is bright. He will be okay. And I will watch him grow from wherever I am. Today was the hardest day of my life. Thank you for all for your love. pic.twitter.com/sCZFW9d8T5

Make videos for his future special days (graduations, weddings, first job, first break up) so he’ll be able to continue to feel your love, wisdom, sympathy and pride. Set up an email address for him, journal to him and provide him the UN&PW during one of your videos.

To add to this make videos of you together now. My father died when I was very young and he is almost like a story now so when I see pix of us together I know I knew him and we existed in the same world.

I have never read or heard this before online. I was confronted with this news by my pediatrician when I was 13 about my mother... she passed 6 months later with a brain tumor in 1975...I'm 62 today... still hard to grasp, then and now. Strong prayers my love.

I join the chorus of voices here saying “I do not know you, & you do not know me, but I am holding you & your son in love from afar.” Sending you both love & courage & comfort for this impossible conversation & all the days ahead.

The most beautiful part of your conversation will be when you show your son all the places in the world where you will continue to be present for him: the sky, the stars, the oceans, the trees, the flowers...

I have made my peace that she was just trying to do the right thing out of love. But I will never forget the moment my dad said “Katy, mummy died last night” and my world collapsed. It was so sudden, so violent and ultimately not necessary.

I don't know you, and I am holding you in my thoughts. May you feel supported by those who have gone before, may you be upheld by those who are here. It is a great act of love that you do this for your son. Extend that lovingkindness to yourself. Howl, rage and be held in love

As a mom, my heart aches for you having to do this unimaginable conversation. As the daughter of a beautiful strong woman who died from cancer when I was 5, my heart breaks for your son. Spend all your time making the best memories he will always remember.

My mother had this talk w/ me before she died, when I was 9yo. It remains with me to this day. He will never forget what you said to him or your love + respect for him to have said it. He’ll fold that moment tightly in his heart and carry it with him always. God bless you both❤️

We are strangers but I’m holding you and your child in my heart and prayers. Sending love and strength.

I just saw your post & teared up. I don’t know you but my first thought was “no no no, don’t make this beautiful woman leave”.

Words fail to capture what’s in my heart but I am sending you love & tenderness. Howl away, dear Nadia. We howl in spirit with you on your journey💗
The amount of sorrow I feel without knowing you is unreal. Whatever day you are called home, I pray this picture is one of the many memories he will hold of you near and dear to his heart, looking joyful in the hardest of times. 🙏🏾 Know that perfect strangers are praying for you

My humble advice is to share everything you can that is age appropriate and then write down more details that he can read when he is older. Sending support for a very hard day.

I don’t know you but this post has stopped me in my tracks. I’m so sorry to hear what’s happened to you. You are a wonderful honest mother and doing the hardest / bravest and right thing. I’m virtually sending you strength. I’m so sorry this has happened to you.

Your post took me back to 2010, when my mom's cancer returned with a vengeance.
— Naren Tallapragada (@NTallapragada) May 11, 2021
I was 19 then, so I knew how bad things were. But I wish my mom had told me herself instead of trying to be unfailingly optimistic.
Sending you strength and support from afar, Dr. Chaudhri. pic.twitter.com/JojolqSOCO
Your tweet broke my heart. I wish you peace for your journey. I wish your son strength to know his mother loved him with all her heart. You are both blessings. I also wish all cancers could be vanquished.

The last comment by Vicky Kramer birthed huge faith and strengthen the belief that she can live to witness all the wonderful moments with her son.
She wrote;
You and your family are in my prayers. In 2018, my oncologist told me I had 3 to 6 months to live. It's 2021, and I'm still here. I pray you and I both have many years ahead of us to spend with our families 🙏❤ pic.twitter.com/47rGnweph6

I hope this becomes her reality. I hope she live to witness all the wonderful moments with her son.
