Please call me Kak Su (Big sister, Su)
I was born and raised in Singapore and I’m a practising Muslimah single mom, just like you.
I have survived as a single mom and I am here to share my life experiences with you in a positive way in the hope that they will benefit you, for your Dunya and our akhiraah. Bi idzni Allah
When I was struggling to bring up my kids as a Muslimah single mom, I opted to move out of my homeland to a neighbouring country where I had to start a new life, away from the comfort of my family and friends.
In those days there was no easy access to the internet and a mobile phone was a luxury.
Naturally, there wasn’t the support of online support groups or chat forums. I had no friends to talk to and no tools and resources to rely on to help me stay organized or gain any inspirational quotes to liven up my days.
There was nothing to help keep my sanity or to keep me motivated.
There was simply nothing to keep my mind occupied other than entertaining my own loneliness thoughts. In the early days, alone with my kids in a foreign country, I struggled and suffered bouts of depression and panic attacks.
How did I survive? That is what I’ll share with you on this blog in the hope that it will give you the strength and support that you needed.
Your new online friend,
Su Zu
