Shatakshi lost her mom to Covid in 2021 when she was a high school senior. She had the best relationship with her mom and it has been very hard for Shatakshi. For a long time she lived in the past, unable to accept the reality that her mom was gone. She is now slowly coping with her loss.

Shatakshi's Take-Away: If you are dealing with the pain of loss, make that your power and not your weakness. Move forward with it and don't stay in your past. Learn to live with it, and live for that person. Don't die for them.
