I live in Kherson. During the entire occupation, I lived in my hometown for 9 months - with my son and husband. Before the war, my husband worked in a colony. I had a small grocery store.With the start of the war, we both lost our jobs. When the hydroelectric plantwas flooded, the water did not reach our house, and we stayed at home.

On May 3, 2023 there was a massive shelling of Kherson. In our city, the sirens don't have time to go off before the shelling begins. My husband traveled from the village of Antonivka by bus. He went into the supermarket and called me from there. That was the last time we spoke.

The rocket hit the supermarket directly. My husband received a shrapnel wound in the carotid artery. I called him, and the doctor picked up the phone. The doctor said that my husband is in intensive care in a very serious condition. He lived another week. I was left alone with my 14-year-old son.
