I’m a single mother/ widow in my late 30s with 3 children, my husband passed away 10years ago due to a sudden cardiac arrest at work.

It was a shock for us all when we receive the news of his passing because my hubs did a health check 2 weeks before his death and there was no medical condition. It make it even more difficult when I had 3 young children(youngest was an infant) and his parents didn’t receive the news well and they started to blame me for his death.

Before my hubs passing, we live a simple life and were content with whatever we had. My hubs was also a great father to the children and though he spend lesser time at home, his love for his children was no less. He would spend his free time playing, feeding, bathing, and putting the children to bed. He would also help me with the household chores including his fav chore – washing the toilet.

Both of us are working parents and his working hours are irregular due to shift work. But we manage to work out the childcare arrangement including having my mum to help out when the kids are sick.

However, in the eyes of his parents, these are things that he shouldn’t be doing and i did not fulfil my role as a wife to care for him and overwork him by having him to do the “extra duties” that may result to his death.

After his passing, his parents told me that I have made my hubs work so hard for the family which lead to his death. So now, I would have to rely on my own and I can take my hubs insurance monies and leave. Which my husband had also name me as the beneficiary for the the insurance. I was hurt with their words as I lost my hubs too but I try not to take their words seriously since they are also grieving for the loss of their son.

During the first year of the passing of my hubs, i did try to make attempts to visit them with the children, hoping that the children will bring them comfort. But all our calls and visit requests were denied.

Since than i have not met them for almost 10years. But recently I bump into their relatives on the street and got called out and criticise for being “cold hearted”, “unfilial”, “money grubber / money face”?! ????????

I was taken aback with what was said and was angered by all the untruth and assumption made. I didn’t explain myself to these people as I don’t own them anything and walked away. Thank god, my children weren’t with me.

The only sum I receive was my hubs insurance monies and I’ve save it for my children education this would also be my hubs wish. How was it a money face?

I didn’t share this incident with my family because it would anger them. They have been the ones supporting me and the 3 kids, so that I We can rebuild our lives and the children can have good childhood like other kids. I am grateful for what my family has done for us.

Til this day as I look back, I would think that I did what I could back than.

I hope I do not have to meet them and our path will never cross if this is what it takes to move on with our lives.

A video of two ladies arguing at Lucky Plaza has gone viral on social media.

The 35-second video, which was posted on the Facebook, depicts two Filipinas arguing at a mall.

In the video, the two can be seen shouting in Tagalog and hitting each other. They use their bags to slap each other and even started Pushing each other. They fight even affected the shops nearby after one of them pushed another into a mirror at a salon.

When a third woman steps in, the orange lady started shouting, “She pushed me, she pushed me!” while pointing at the other woman

Passers-bys managed to stop them and they pick up their stuff on the ground before leaving.

Getting old is part and parcel of life, a sweet and adorable moment was spotted in the MRT after an elderly man was seen caring for his wife on the train.

The video has been circulating on Reddit with many people stating that they wish they can be as sweet as the couple when they become old.

As touching as the moment can be, netizens pointed out that they should not be drinking on the train. (what a wet blanket)

Positive comments found on the video:

• marriage goals. Its really hard ppl. To spend so much time with someone and still love each other.

• Filming strangers in the public is creppy man… I know they love each other, but still I wouldn’t want random dude filming me and my partner.

• What if the one who took this video is their son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter? Or some relative. Loved the emotion in the vid doesn’t matter they’re married anot

• Kindness. Whether they’re a couple or not, it’s kindness and care.

• I like how people assume two old people just automatically have been together for many years, or even that they’re not married to other people.

Visiting your loved ones in the hospital is often not a joyous occasion, especially when loved ones are on the death bed.

Facebook user Eileen Meilisa recently posted on her Facebook claiming that the hospital staff lack empathy.

Here is what she said:

During my mum 16days in hospital, i have made a request to transfer to SGH as 10 days in icu ward 23 bed 32,36 repeatedly 4hourly blood test but could not find the source of the infection as claimed profound of septic shock in nature, but got rejected as mum isn’t in stable condition and that they claimed everywhere is the same. 11th day transferred to general ward, hoping for a miracle and seek for transfer again to get a second opinion, mum condition deteriorate so i gave up the thought of transferring her. Medical practicers in SKH Ward 610 is a nightmare!

2 horrifying incident happened:

First, 1 of the ward doctors by the name of Dr Johnathan came up to me right infront of my mum bed here is the conversation “your mum is in her last days and that transferring anywhere is the same..whether u want her to die at home, at SGH, at SKH or even Hospices. We can easily prolong her life to be able to see your wedding next month by putting her on drips”

Second, a ward nurse (PRC young nurse) handling my mum doing handover shift to another nurse (Joey Foo) and a guy nurse while i on my mum’s bedside. Partial handover loud conservation went exactly like this “you need to take photo with ur hp and submit the patient (my mum) BP and Oxygen level every hourly and key in manually in their computer system, if she (my mum) die then it will be use as a proof, if she (my mum) never die then no need to do anything la” HELLO!!??? What did i just heard? am i deaf?

Apart of all these, soiled diaper also takes nearly 40mins to be cleaned up after nurse is aware just bcos my mum could not communicate, could not call out for help when needed to. It should not be neglected like this and caused her to have bedsores and infections on her inital wounds at the butt area.

Knowing my mum well, i just kept my cool and decided to head to their patient relationship center to do file a complaint. My purpose of sharing on social media because i don’t receive any updates on all these complaints yet am seeing worse thing happening in the ward.

Ministry of Health, Singapore Sengkang General Hospital Please remind the medical practicers to have empathy with patients and next of kin, be mindful of the choice of words and speak with respect just like you wished to be treated with.

As a nurse, i think it is important to protray professionalism at all times during their duties.

I spent an average of 6-8hrs a day in the ward and witnessed how nurse (Joey Foo) shouting around in the ward forgetting this and that shouting for colleagues to bring over, gossiping with colleagues infront of next of kin regards which and which doc just increased the medication dosage without informing. Not protraying impatience with helping elderly to the washroom when asked to. Lastly i like to especially thank this nurse (Cindy Tan) and a ponoy guy nurse that cleaned up my mum nicely after my mum passed on.

I like to have an explanation on this “You can prolong my mum life by just putting her on drip, why she still passed on?”
