First, Nadiya found out that she was pregnant, although she and her husband had not planned this pregnancy, but decided to keep the baby and give birth. When Nadiya was admitted to the hospital for observation, she received the terrible news that her husband had disappeared without a trace in the war. The shock of the news forced her to seek help. Although Nadiya considered herself a strong person, she clearly understood that she needed support.
