Saran says that it took her three years to accept her new life. During that period, she and her family dealt hugely with grief and loss, and Saran says she was an emotional wreck.
She also exhausted herself trying to get back to the ‘old Saran’ before she came to the realisation that it was not possible for her.
In the last 9 years, Saran has found acceptance and shares what helped her.
