The police car appeared within a few minutes, and a lady officer got out. She asked me to get in. I refused. I asked her where my husband was. She said she didn't know and that she and her partner had just been instructed to pick me up. I asked her point-blank, 'Is my husband alive?'

Tara was blissfully married to the love of her life, Tope. They had a son and were expecting their second child early in the New Year. Life was great, but suddenly, life dealt a nasty hand, tragedy struck, dark clouds came in and covered the sunshine and life took on the hue of a dull and rainy day. Tara found herself wondering whether the sun would ever shine again.
