In 2022, Mr Nazri Omar suffered a run of personal tragedies. He lost his mother to renal failure, suffered a debilitating stroke himself and then lost his father to dementia within the span of 100 days.

"It was the most painful period of my life. I had no time to grieve," says the 44-year-old engineer.

He was also faced with the fact that he was now his sibling's sole caregiver.

His sister Mariyati Omar, who turned 51 in July, was born with cerebral palsy. She requires constant care, something that is more difficult for Mr Nazri after the stroke took all sensation from the right side of his body.

In the third episode of The Straits Times' docuseries Let's Talk About Death, Mr Nazri tries to process his pain of losing both his parents before he could take proper care of them. He also makes plans so that his sister will be cared for in case anything happens to him.
