The Agony of a Mother tells the poignant story of a compassionate little girl who grows up facing the emotional turbulence of her parents’ separation. Navigating life in a polygamous family alongside several siblings, she strives to survive, attain an education, and eventually marry a loving and supportive husband. The couple’s joy and longing for their first child take an unexpected and heartbreaking turn when their beautiful newborn baby girl passes away just moments after birth. What began as seemingly ordinary pregnancy issues escalates into serious complications for the expectant mother, resulting in a tragic case of perinatal mortality—one of the many challenges contributing to maternal morbidity and mortality.

This deeply moving narrative not only recounts a personal journey of love, loss, and resilience but also sheds light on the pressing maternal health issues affecting women across the country.
