We offered Aryamma palliative care to lessen the pain, and helped the family cope with the emotional turmoil. Call it fate, God’s call or karma, the following weeks saw a downhill journey for her. The disease spread to her brain and lungs. Three months later, Aryamma succumbed to the disease. Her parents were heart-broken. None of us could take away their grief and loss."
