Poor Hari’s life: She was given a life with difficulties, but had to give it up before her time, bleeding to her end.

Hari lives in Resha 3 and she belongs to a working class family. In her family there is a father, mother, and sister. Quiet in nature, a polite girl. Once grown up, she passed her S.L.C. She went to Baglung Bazaar for further study. When she was twenty years old she got married. Her husband is in the Indian army. She was very happy, and after some time she became pregnant. She delivered her baby on 2061 (2004). She gave birth to a daughter. Her family wanted a son, so she again became pregnant. Time passed, and the time of delivery was coming. She did regular ANC check ups. She went to Baglung hospital, one week before expected date of delivery. At 4:30 in the morning on 2067/12/10, she began to feel labour pains. At 10:30 in the morning, she gave birth to a son. The mother began to bleed heavily. Her husband gave some blood for a transfusion, but still her condition continued to worsen. She was referred to Manipal Hospital in Pokhara. On the way to hospital, she was trying to breast feed her newborn son. But dear Hari, left this world within two hours of delivery. Her death orphaned her daughter and newborn son, leaving them without the care of a mother. The son was named after his mother’s death, Kritim, who would never feel the warmth of his mothers lap. She was only 27 years old.
