10 years ago, I watched my mother at only 64, a selfless woman who dedicated herself to others, neglect her health to the point of no return. For years, she had diabetes and in 2010 she was ignoring a visible bloating in her belly because she was looking after a dear family member. After I insisted on having a check up, she was diagnosed with peritoneal cancer. After 4 years and a lot of suffering, she passed away at 68 just a week before my 40th birthday and with two little girls age 1 and 3. That heartbreak was my wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own patterns of self-neglect and make a promise to myself: to prioritize my health, my well-being, and my self-love, for my family and for me, so my girls don´t have to miss me sooner than necessary.
