'Life without you will never be the same': Tay Ping Hui's mom, 84, dies of pancreatic cancer
"Farewell my dearest mummy. I love you," Tay said in an Instagram post.
Tay Ping Hui's 84-year-old mother passed away on August 4th due to pancreatic cancer, as reported by Lianhe Zaobao. In an emotional Instagram post on August 13th, Tay expressed gratitude for the numerous people who reached out during his challenging period, mentioning the physical, mental, and emotional difficulties he faced over the past few months in coping with his mother's illness.
A year prior, Tay's mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Initially, the tumor responded well to radiation and chemotherapy, and she improved for a while. However, about two months ago, the tumor grew again, and the cancer spread to her liver, worsening her condition once more. Tay accompanied his mother in the hospital to provide support, as she suffered from dementia. The experience was heartbreaking, but Tay emphasized that his mother fought bravely and made the most of her time.
Tay described his mother as someone who loved life, enjoying various activities such as cooking, eating, chatting, playing mahjong, and spending time with her family. She was loved deeply by everyone, and Tay himself could not deny the love he had for her. In the Instagram post, Tay shared that he misses her familiar call of "ah boy" and will keep her memory alive.
Tay concluded his tribute with a final farewell to his mother, acknowledging that life without her will never be the same and expressing his love for her in Chinese.
