72-year-old Phuleshwor Sada was worried about not being able to get his sick wife treated. He had been worried for a long time when his 70-year-old wife Durgidevi of Rupani Rural Municipality-4, Saptari, was having problems with a growth on her back.
Due to financial constraints, he could not get Durgidevi treated on time. Phuleshwor also used to get sick from time to time. The only son of the couple, Hiran, was a daily wage laborer. Since the earnings from his daily wage labor were difficult to manage for the family of 7, he could not get his parents treated on time.
The last time, Hiran had gone to Dharan to get his mother Durgidevi's back operated on. However, after the doctor suggested not to have the operation, citing her advanced age, Phuleshwor was even more stressed when Hiran took his mother home with him.
Phuleshwar, who was regretting not being able to get his wife treated on time, passed away at 2 pm on Friday. ‘My father was saddened by not being able to get his mother treated on time,’ Hiran said. ‘My mother used to tell me to get my father treated first when I had money. I couldn’t get my parents treated on time because I didn’t have money.’
Durgidevi also passed away before 6 am on Saturday, less than 4 hours after Phuleshwar’s death. Hiran is still worried about the daily expenses even during his grief as his parents passed away on the same day. ‘I have been supporting my family with the wages I earn from daily wage work. Now I can’t even go to work for 13 days,’ he said. ‘It is difficult to make ends meet, and on top of that, I am also stressed about the daily expenses.’
