Mum you are the reason I’m resilient, brave and strong. Mum taught me how to fight for what I believe in and to be an independent woman.

My mother sadly passed 14.04.26 peacefully in her sleep. Her name was Pin. I’m sadden that I wasn’t there with you. I’m home now.

I’m the youngest child. I don’t have a Khmer name, but she called me baby (Beb-bee). I was her baby, but I also was her caretaker. When I was younger because I spoke the most fluent Khmer my mother would take me out of school to translate for doctors and appointments. I see now that she knew that I was the strong one, she saw the capacity in me before I even knew it.

I remember one time she went to the shops, and told someone she had to go home to cook for her baby. The lady asked, oh how old is your baby? She laughed telling me the story when I got home. I was 20 something at the time.

Mum I’m so immensely sorry about how things were rushed you deserved better. But I know you’re always here with me. Whilst our relationship wasn’t perfect my mother always gave me shelter, a home and food on the table. She gave me the opportunity to be free. Something she herself was never awarded. She loved me very much, and I felt that.

Mum I hope you’re at peace now and are able to spend another life in the afterlife. I’m grateful for all the things you sacrificed for me and I look forward to living and caring for you again in the future.

Over the moon and so grateful to announce that I am making my composer and performance debut for The Coconut Children theatre show at @belvoirst later this year!

I first was approached to see if this is something I’d be interested in, and truthfully I’ve always wanted to compose so it feels like the universe has aligned here.

Grateful for the opportunity thanks @cat.vandavies and @hannahgoodwin08 for the trust.

It’s incredible to see how far making electronic music has taken me, and I’m so here for it. Particularly as a SEA woman making music in the electronic scene!!!

I’ll also be DJing the composition I make for the show so you’ll also see me throughout the play as well. This is gonna be so fun!

I’ve hesitated about talking about my grief. But I thought I wish we spoke more about it. During this time, I’m afraid if I post that people think I’m ok and start asking things from me. Like nothing happened.

But something big happened, I’ve changed/changing and during this time things have become so clear to me. What matters, whats important. That stopping matters, that processing matters.

A loss of a parent is an unimaginable pain, where my heart is constantly searching for her despite knowing the ending.

I wish people knew that grief is linear, there are extremely dark times, but when there’s a light, it’s bright and it gives me hope. Grief and this feeling, is my mums love for me. So I hold onto it, for as long as I can until she lives inside of me going forward.

I hope this helps others to share their grief, the flow of messages from people who shared their stories of a loss of a parent have been so beautiful I thank you for your trust. The end of the day we’re all human and loss is something important we should share to continue to love. Xx
