She explained that it was only after visiting the chapel and breaking down in tears before the Blessed Sacrament that she found comfort and inner strength.

In her words:

"Please go to the presence of Blessed Sacrament and cry your pains out. You will feel that gentle touch of strength.
I played strong when I lost my mother immediately after my Youth Service. Then after the burial period, I realised I was so wounded inside and fragile. No body around me could fill the vacuum. Till one day, I found myself walked to the Chapel and broke down in tears with a broken heart before the blessed Sacrament and "Something Special" refilled me."
