Faaiza Munir reflects on her family's journey after her son suffered a life-threatening blood clot and underwent two urgent surgeries. She relates to the emotions expressed in Archie Bland's article about his son’s near-death experience. Munir emphasizes the loneliness parents feel during such crises even with supportive family and friends. Though the initial fears and worries about children's futures can overwhelm, she notes that over time, the love for their child becomes the predominant emotion, bringing joy and hope as healing progresses.
My son, who is now nine years old, had a blood clot in his small intestine which led to two major life-saving operations in 48 hours.
One of the hardest things when you go through nearly losing a child, and having an altered child return to you, is the loneliness.
There is a time when the loudest thoughts will fade... but the loudest thought will be the love for your child.
My family and I are now in a much better place much better than we ever thought possible back in April 2023.
