The 12th episode of Real Talk with Mama Khwaja - The Podcast is with Abeeha & Hasan.
Abeeha & Hasan are working parents of 4 beautiful kids Aila 12, Eshaan 10, Myra 3 and their baby in Heaven Jennah.
On August 18th, 2020 they had their fourth child, Jennah Kulsoom Zaidi whose time on earth was momentary. As any parent that has experienced such a loss, the days, weeks and months that follow can feel very isolating and chaotic.
They believe in the power of faith above all and feel that the love that Allah bestows upon them has given them the strength to guide them through their grief journey.
