"Completely destroyed" after losing her mother and sister to Covid-19 recently, Indian women`s team cricketer Veda Krishnamurthy says she is slowly learning to tune herself out of that grief and stressed on the importance of mental health assistance in crisis situations. Nine members of Krishnamurthy`s family battled the disease and her mother and sister passed away within two weeks of each other last month in Karnataka. "I`m a big believer in what destiny holds for you, but I really hoped that my sister would come back home. When she didn`t, I was completely destroyed. All of us were broken to pieces," Krishnamurthy told `ESPNcricinfo` in a lengthy post detailing her trauma.
"...I still had to put up a brave face for the rest of the family. What I had to do in those testing couple of weeks was learn to tune myself out of my grief. But it keeps coming back to haunt you," she said. The middle-order batter said she was the only one in the family not to contract the virus and ended up coordinating all the medical needs at that time. It was then that she realised how difficult it would have been for several other people to access basic care.
