‘I haven’t really moved on’: Zara Noor Abbas remembers late son

Losing a child is the most painful experience for any mother. Unfortunately, Zara Noor Abbas knows this pain only too well.

Zara Noor Abbas appeared as a guest on Faysal Qureshi’s podcast, where she shared her feelings about grief and the joy of being a mother to her daughter Nure Jahan.

The host asked, “After Nure Jahan, and that whole process of yours from before, have you moved on from it?”

Zara replied, “I haven’t really moved on, I mean, my firstborn will always be a son. It’s funny because I had ordered a lot of clothes for him, and Nure Jahan is wearing those clothes these days. She has to wear those tie things and shorts. Just yesterday, she wore a onesie. Nure will have to wear boys’ clothes for a year because I will use all his boy clothes here. So, it’s a beautiful thing. I tell her every day that she’s wearing her brother’s clothes.”

Reflecting on her experience, Zara expressed a wish to have had children earlier, saying,

“I wish I had known that this is how my life, my body, my mind would process this, because it’s a natural state of your body also for a woman. Yes, that’s very true. If I had known this would happen, I would have prepared beforehand.”

In 2022, Zara Noor Abbas had a miscarriage, and she lost her son named Aurangzeb.
