As India continues to battle the second wave of coronavirus, hundreds of families are losing their loved ones to the pandemic every single day. With tears, emotional posts and desperate pleas, people have been sharing their heartbreaking stories on social media while the virus continues to wreak havoc. A similar emotional post was shared by a doctor on Twitter who narrated the story of a boy who bid adieu to his dying mother by singing a heartfelt song.
Doctor Depshikha Ghosh, who was attending to the patient, shared the heartbreaking account on social media leaving netizens teary-eyed. She wrote that as she knew that the woman will not survive, she made a call to her relatives to ask in case they want anything. During the call, her son asked for some time and sang a song to bid farewell to his dying mother via video call.
Today, towards the end of my shift, I video called the relatives of a patient who is not going to make it. We usually do that in my hospital if it’s something they want. This patient’s son asked for a few minutes of my time. He then sang a song for his dying mother.

Son sings to bid farewell to dying mother
‘Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi,’ sang the boy as he spoke to his mother one last time before her death. The doctor kept holding the phone and nurses came over and stood in silence. The doctor further narrated that the boy broke down while singing but he completed the verse for his mother. Moved by the emotions shared by the mother-son duo, the doctor concluded the thread by stating how that moment changed the meaning of the song for her.
He sang Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Nata Koi. I just stood there holding the phone, looking at him looking at his mother and singing. The nurses came over and stood in silence. He broke down in the middle but finished the verse. He asked her vitals, thanked me and hung up.

Me and the nurses stood there. We shakes our heads, our eyes moist. The nurses went back one by one to their allocated patients and attended to them or the alarms of vents/dialysis units. This song is changed for us, for me at least. This song will always be theirs.

Is there anyone with the son? I hope he is not alone. Would like to connect with him if he is alone.
Reading this choked me up.
