Today is ***de , using the right words to talk about su***de is essential to breaking down stigma and preventing it.

It’s a day for us all to honour the memories of those we have lost to su***de, those who have survived su***de attempts, and those living with the grief of losing someone.

Above all, we all have a role to play in creating a world without su***de.

Today - and every day - let those struggling know, we are here for you, those who have survived, we are proud of you, and those who have lost someone, we are supporting you.

Please don't: circulate the su***de note/ don't share photos/don't attribute a single reason for death/don't use the word commit.

: ***de as a - 1)Encourage help-seeking behaviour. 2)Share crisis helpline numbers/seek help if the death triggered you.

How to talk about it safely, in a way that helps people open up 👇

❌ Saying ‘committed’ su***de perpetuates stigma.

✅ Instead say took his/her/their own life or died by su***de.

❌ There’s evidence that mentioning method or location of a su***de can lead to further su***des so avoid doing this.

✅ Do post sources of support and share stories of hope and recovery.

❌ If you’re worried about someone, try not to use language that could come across as judgmental. For example, ‘don’t do anything stupid’.

✅ Instead ask if they’re feeling suicidal, and help them get the support they need.

❌ Don’t share or repost anything that talks about su***de or self-harm in an unsafe way online.

✅ Do report content you see and think might be harmful.

A Tiny Warrior's Journey: A Story of Hope and Compassion.

It was a chance encounter outside a temple that led to a remarkable journey of kindness and compassion. A person known to me reached out for help on behalf of a Mumbaikar family in distress. Their 7-month-old baby girl was suffering from a severe condition, with her tiny body bearing the weight of a bloated stomach, resembling a football ⚽. The parents were beside themselves with worry, having sought medical attention in Mumbai with little hope.

A Ray of Hope.

Upon learning of their situation, I immediately connected with the family and offered my support. The next day, I visited the hospital in Bangalore, where the baby was undergoing treatment. The parents' faces reflected their exhaustion and anxiety, but as they shared their story with me, I could see a glimmer of relief in their eyes.

A Helping Hand.

The baby was scheduled for surgery the following morning, and the family needed blood donations. I was more than happy to donate and arranged for additional support. The surgery was a success, and though the road to recovery was long and challenging, the family's gratitude was palpable.

A Bond of Compassion.

As the child recovered, I remained in touch with the family, visiting them when needed and offering emotional support. The journey was not easy, but with time, patience, and care, the baby began to thrive.

A Testament to Humanity.

Eleven years have passed since this incident, and the child is now growing well, both physically and academically. This experience serves as a reminder of the power of compassion and kindness.

Compassion is the bridge between humanity and healing.

This true story highlights the importance of empathy and support in times of need. As we observe in , it serves as a poignant reminder of the impact we can have on each other's lives.

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."

At Pehechaan may we continue to spread love, kindness, and compassion, inspiring hope and healing in those around us.

The act of TEACHING is not to pour in a bunch of facts and information but rather to instill a sense of hunger and curiosity for the subject. With each lesson taught, a teacher tries to impart an understanding of the world around us in a way that empowers us to appreciate, question, and be curious about it. This new level of curiosity and hunger that our teachers provide, we all set out to achieve wonders in our lives and, in the course, change other people's lives as well.
's to all the teachers for selflessly inspiring everyone to dream big and motivate to achieve those dreams.
Gratitude.

Happy Teachers Day!

A Heavy Heart's Confession.

As I approached his bedside, the man's eyes locked onto mine, filled with a mix of desperation and longing. Despite the acute pain and the chemotherapy sessions, he seemed driven to share his story. I introduced myself, ensuring him of confidentiality, and he nodded weakly, as if the weight of his secrets was crushing him.

The Weight of Silence

The room fell silent, with only the sound of his labored breathing breaking the stillness. I observed his body language, noting the tension in his shoulders and the furrowed brows. His eyes, once bright, now seemed dull, weighed down by the burden of his past. After what felt like an eternity, he broke the silence, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Madam, I am very bad," he said, his words hanging in the air like a challenge to himself. I waited, curious about the story behind his words. He began to recount his tale, his voice cracking with emotion. A farmer, he had once lived a simple life with his brother and father, working the land and growing their own food. But a quarrel over property had escalated, fueled by his quick temper, and in a fit of rage, he committed a heinous act – he killed his brother.

The Consequences of Anger.

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, and his body shook with sobs. He had been arrested, served time, and was later released due to good behavior. But the punishment hadn't ended there. His family had abandoned him, and he was now facing a terminal illness – cancer. He believed that God was punishing him for his past deeds, and the pain and suffering he endured were a manifestation of his guilt.

A Life of Regret
"I am dying each day," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "Cancer has made my life miserable. My wife and children have abandoned me. There is no one to talk to or to take care of me. I am serving my punishment."

As I listened to his story, I couldn't help but think of the words of Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." I realized that this man was not just seeking forgiveness but also redemption – a chance to make amends for his past mistakes.

"The wound is the place where the light enters you." - Rumi.

He found relief in sharing and pouring out. He was much better after our conversation. He look relieved.

Image shared is just for representation.

- plays a vital role in addressing the emotional, psychological and social needs of children with cancer and their families. This field has gained significant importance due to its potential to improve the overall well-being and quality of life of pediatric cancer patients.

Had a wonderful learning for two days at . The first pediatric psycho Oncology conference in the country. Lots of learning and networking.

Special mention to Dr and Dr .

Importance in India:

In India, pediatric psycho-oncology research is evolving, with studies focusing on:

Caregiver Perspectives: Understanding caregivers' perceptions of psychosocial issues in pediatric cancer patients.

Psychosocial Interventions:

Developing and implementing interventions to support patients and families.

A reflection on choice, dignity, and love at life’s end.

The Sounds I Don’t Want.

I don’t want the last sounds I hear to be machines beeping, alarms wailing what my body already knows.

Let me go gently, not surrounded by steel and silence.

.

I don’t want:
– Tubes feeding me
– Needles bruising me
– A cuff marking borrowed time
– My story dictated by strangers

"To die will be an awfully big adventure."
– J.M. Barrie

.

☀️ Sunlight on my skin
🤲 Familiar hands in mine
🎶 Music that soothes
🌸 Lavender on my pillow
🧣 A warm blanket over my feet

I want to feel like , until the very end.

.

Not a sterile room.
Not under harsh lights.
But somewhere soft, personal, and peaceful—
with love in the air, not fear.

"Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it."
– Haruki Murakami

.

That’s why I’ve written it down.
So there’s no doubt.
So love leads, not panic.

I’ve drawn the line between
living fully and surviving mechanically.
Please… honor it.

.

If you love someone
ask them what they’d want.
Write it down.
Speak it aloud.
Have the conversation.

“What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.”
– Lao Tzu

& .

🌿 Let’s talk about dying… so we can truly live. 🌿
Have the conversation.
Give the gift of clarity.
Bring peace closer.

“IT’s NOT JUST HAIR. IT’s IDENTITY, DIGNITY, and SOMETIMES, COURAGE STITCHED STRAND BY STRAND.”

At , we meet many courageous women walking into our space after braving the battle of chemotherapy. They come with hollowed eyes, heavy hearts, and an overwhelming sense of loss—not just of health, but of identity. One of the most common and crushing sentiments we hear is:
“I feel worthless… hopeless… like a shadow of who I used to be.”

And often, all of this pain is rooted in something society dismisses as “just cosmetic”—hair loss.

But as counsellors, we understand: A WOMAN ’s HAIR IS NOT VANITY—IT’s VISIBILITY. It’s her way of expressing selfhood, culture, femininity, and confidence. When cancer takes that away, it’s not just strands that fall; it’s self-worth that begins to unravel.

One woman once said, “The hairpiece was transformative. It allowed me to LIVE my life—not as a sick person—but as a loving mother, a caring wife, a whole person again.” That’s the power of a wig. It’s not fake—it’s HEALING IN DISGUISE.

At , when a woman opens up about her grief over hair loss, I listen to her deeply—her fears of being stared at, her worries about looking “abnormal,” her pain of being called “weak.” And then I gently ask, “How do YOU want to face it?”

Not society.
Not your relatives.
YOU.

Then I say this with sincerity and strength:
“You can reclaim your identity. Start using a wig—not to hide, but to rise. Not for others, but for yourself. Think of what will make you feel good—not what others think about you.”

Because when a woman puts on that wig and looks in the mirror, sometimes for the first time after weeks or months, her eyes well up. Not out of sorrow—but recognition. SHE SEES HERSELF AGAIN.

As the saying goes, “Sometimes you have to lose yourself a little to find who you truly are.” The hair may be gone, but the soul—the strength, the spirit—is still alive and waiting to shine.

Tragically, we’ve met women who refused life-saving treatment simply because they feared hair loss. The stigma, the labels, the fear of being “seen” as sick can be paralyzing. This must change. And we at are here to help make that change happen.

If you, or someone you love, is struggling with the emotional impact of hair loss after cancer treatment, KNOW THIS: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU IN EVERY WAY— EMOTIONALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY, and PRACTICALLY.

Let us help you or your loved one RECLAIM YOUR CROWNING GLORY and restore the identity that cancer tried to steal.
