Only because oxygen could not be arranged for her on time.” At 9am, Umer took his mother’s body from the hospital. My father still does not know that his wife has passed away.” Umer’s father is still on oxygen in a different hospital in Srinagar, while Umer’s brother, Wasee, is now stable and mourning his mother’s death, devastated that he never got to see her one last time before she died.
