Life is unpredictable and can change in an instant. That is what happened with Ratha Renganathan, a citizen from Johor, who suffered a devastating stroke that left her paralyzed on one side. But that's not the end of it; 6 months later, she had a stroke for the second time, causing her to lose speech and memory. It forced her to face a new reality as everyday tasks became monumentally challenging.
How do you rebuild your life when your body feels like it’s betrayed you?
During struggles of recovery, she relied on her childhood hobby “art”. It started out as some type of therapy, something to exercise her functioning hand, something to keep her mind occupied. But as the days turned into weeks, she discovered something deeper: a passion for art. It allowed her to express her innermost feelings and find peace.
