The Hidden Wounds That Medicine Can’t Touch
A father watches monitors beep while his child asks why God is angry with them. A mother lies awake replaying the doctor’s words, unable to process what “terminal” means. Healthy siblings retreat into silence, feeling invisible while their parents focus entirely on the sick child. Medical treatment saves bodies—but who saves the minds that are breaking under unbearable psychological pressure?

I didn’t know how to explain to my son that his brother might not make it. I was falling apart. Or Lacholeh sent someone to talk to both of us. We cried. We breathed. And we didn’t feel alone anymore.
