Some women truly do not prioritize themselves, and it’s heartbreaking.
A woman recently lost her life because she kept putting everyone else before herself. She had 3 children and was pregnant with the fourth. During her antenatal visit, the doctor examined her and immediately advised that she be admitted and placed on strict bed rest. But she insisted she needed to go pick up her children from school first.
The doctor asked her to call her husband, but she replied that she is always the one who picks them up.
She left the hospital, rushed home with the children, and still went to the market to buy foodstuff because she wanted to cook for her husband. According to her, her husband does not eat outside food, so she had to cook herself.
That same night, she cooked, bathed her three children, took them to her mother’s house, and finally returned to the hospital around 8pm.
By then, it was already too late.
The doctor noticed she was shivering badly. Her blood pressure had become dangerously high. Before oxygen could even be brought in, she passed away… just like that.
Now three children are left without their mother.
This is painful.
Why do some women sacrifice themselves to this extent? Why ignore your own health, your own body, your own life just to keep everyone else comfortable?
Some women will stay hungry so their husbands can eat. Some will keep pushing through pain and exhaustion just to avoid disappointing a man.
But your life matters too.
The painful reality is that life moves on. The husband may eventually remarry and continue living, but this woman is gone forever.
Women, please take care of yourselves. Rest when your body tells you to rest. Seek help when you need it. Stop carrying the entire world on your shoulders alone.
You deserve care too.
