so true! death is a fear that grips us all as we grow older and lose friends and loved ones on the way. I have often found myself thinking of Udit after I die and I end up with tears rolling down my cheeks. But then I imagine being left behind I go numb. It is a very looming fear. Especially after the two covid years and having lost 3 colleagues/friends to freak incidents and ill-health, it all seems too real. Thanks for writing this!
Thank you Savvy for sharing your fears. I feel less alone and paranoid knowing that this is common and real. I hope we can find a way through this so that life becomes a little lighter.
This was my greatest fear for the longest of times. Worried about a future for my boys without me. Losing two friends prematurely to cancer added fuel to the fire in my head. And yes you are not alone, I know of another friend who worries about this day in and out. So many of us in it together. As the boys have grown, the feeling has subsided a bit. I am sure meditation is helping me keeping these feelings in check.
It's good to know that it gets better with time and as the children grow older :) And that we are not alone in our fears, however unfounded they may seem. Thank you Rakhi.

INCREDIBLE photos, Samira.
Thank you!
Breathtaking words and beautiful photos, Samira. I too think of death often since becoming a first time mother.
Thank you Heidi! I thought I was the only ridiculously paranoid parent and it feels so heartwarming to know that this fear is real for so many others.
Thank you for this… Your photos are so striking and heartwrenching, yet, gentle and beautiful…
Thank you Raju! This shoot was special but I can't really put my finger on the why.
Speaking of photos, on a lighter note - love the biceps cut! 😉
Hahaha! Thank you Sanobar! It's a real achievement that's taken over a year and a half so I'm pretty chuffed that you noticed :)
I couldn’t not notice it!
