~She Hustled. She Conquered.~ "Zindagi badhi nahi, lambi honi chahiye.." Ms. Vanita ______________________ When we talk about independence, the only image that comes to our mind is of a hard-working young person. But, why hustling your way out is always age-restricted? Here is Ms. Vanita redefining the word hustle with her strong will to live her life on her terms. From being an event planner to pursuing her passions and dreams and being a mother of two, she has done it all. Self-sufficiency is important and so is enjoying your life to the fullest. It's stories like these that make us feel there is so much to learn and there is so much to hustle. #EvergreenDiaries

~A journey from grief to healing~ “Your children should be the ones to perform your last rites and not the other way around.” -Padmini Stump _______________ When it comes to losing your child, nothing comes close to it. It is not the normal way of things. But braving the bitter grief that comes with knowing that you are strong enough to reach out for help and feel the depth of your sorrow is all part of a unique journey. You find yourself in a new world filled with pain and devastation, feelings of fear, anger, and deep sadness. The pain may last forever, but the only way to liberate yourself from grief is to grieve. You can claw yourself away from the depth of unimaginable suffering, only to love those around you harder and appreciate every single day. Irrespective of any age, you can pick up the pieces because there is life after loss. #SeniorCitizensDay #EvergreenDiaries
