Sharing the Ups and Downs of Life
"Stay strong and never give up. Caring for others, more importantly, also means remember to care for yourself!" - Wun-si.
Seven years ago, Wun-si's (transliteration name) was met with dramatic change. At a party, her husband suddenly fell and did not get up. After a medical diagnosis, it was confirmed that he had suffered a stroke and would likely need long-term bed care. From then on, Wun-si began a long journey as a carer. This was a path filled with challenges and uncertainties, and she was completely unfamiliar with stroke-related knowledge. Initially, she felt quite helpless and scared. Fortunately, she encountered many kind-hearted people along the way who helped her learn how to take care of her husband and accompany him through difficulties.
