Dr Nadia Chaudhri, a neuroscientist from Canada, just redefined grace, self-control and strength. Her latest tweet is going viral on the Internet for a heartbreaking reason. Dr Chaudhri was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in June 2020, and she has been documenting her journey on social media. Yesterday, Dr Chaudhri told her son that she is about to lose her battle with cancer. The tweet reads, “Today is the day I tell my son that I'm dying from cancer. It's reached a point where he has to hear it from me. Let all my tears flow now so that I can be brave this afternoon. Let me howl with grief now so that I can comfort him.” She also posted a picture with the little one.

Another of Nadia's followers said, “This moment you described, yet brief in words, really touched me. It gave me pause. A long pause in a world full of movement.”

A few wished to take away Nadia's grief.
Wish I could lessen this burden or take away the grief... if only for a moment. You both will be in my heart all day.
