Jessica Iskandar Strives to Strengthen Her Mother After the Departure of Her Father

Kapanlagi.com - Artist Jessica Iskandar expressed her feelings and her best efforts to strengthen her mother, who is grieving after the departure of her father, Hardy Iskandar. She realizes that feeling sad is a normal thing for a wife who has accompanied her husband for decades.

"For mom, I think as a wife, having been married for decades, if left behind, it's natural to be sad. In fact, if you're not sad, that would be strange, right?" said Jessica Iskandar at RSPAD, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (1/1/2025).

However, Jessica emphasizes that she can only accompany and strengthen her mom, according to her abilities. Jessica tries to help her mother stay strong despite such a great loss.

"But for me, if mom wants to be sad, that's okay; if mom doesn't want to be sad, that's okay too; if mom wants to cry, that's fine. I can only accompany and strengthen her," said Jessica.

2. Trying to Lighten the Mood

This mother of three is also trying to lighten the mood by joking so that her mom doesn't get too overwhelmed by sadness.

"But I see mom is already able to accept it, because maybe mom has been taking care of dad all this time, right?" she said.

3. The Strength of the Mother

As a child, Jessica feels touched to see her mother's strength, who has cared for and accompanied her father in various conditions, including when Hardy Iskandar was ill.

"So mom really knows what dad wants, how dad wants it, and what dad's suffering is like; mom has really mastered observing dad," said Jessica.

4. Accepting Father's Departure

Jessica acknowledged that the whole family can now accept the departure of Hardy Iskandar.

"So I see that mom and the other kids have also let go. It's okay, I mean, dad's departure also leaves us with many memories," she said.
