  "account": "Usha Suppiah's first Deepavali without her eldest son, K Indiran, who passed away in February. The usually joyous occasion now brings back memories of her son as a lively presence during family gatherings. Indiran, who served in the military, was found unconscious at a military camp in Kuantan, passing away two days later. The family, including Usha, her three other children, and extended relatives, will observe a year-long silence before celebrating Deepavali. However, the family will still hold a simple prayer ceremony and reunite with relatives from across the country. Usha's 12-year-old daughter, initially worried about the absence of her brother, now understands that the family will still come together to pray and share meals. Indiran used to help with household chores and care for her younger siblings, making her a constant source of joy. Her laughter, kindness, and love for photography remain cherished memories. Usha fondly recalls her son's daily calls asking about her well-being, food, work, and sleep. Her last act before passing was to enjoy special meals with Usha, including fish, vegetables, and desserts. Deepavali still holds the same significance for Usha, though without her beloved son's presence. \"Even though he's gone, it feels like he's still with us,\" Usha concludes.",
