THR’s senior inclusion editor reflects on how the life and roles of the 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' Oscar nominee have helped guide her own personal journey, both as a daughter and as a hopeful parent: 'There’s something about Yeoh as Mother that transcends.'
Both my mom and Yeoh exude a formidable presence that belies their petite stature, and although I’ve never witnessed the former deliver a literal beatdown to anyone, she has always been fearless in a confrontation and wields words as skillfully as a swordswoman does her saber. Her fortitude, both physical and mental, is superhuman, a 90-pound septuagenarian devoting her retirement years to caregiving for my father, who has Parkinson’s.
Another reason for my fixation with the motherhood angle is that I’d learned last January that I was pregnant. Although the pregnancy was welcome news for my husband and me, suddenly being faced with the impending reality of a new identity ushered new anxieties to the surface. “I don’t know how to be a mom! I barely know how to take care of myself,” I wailed one night, huddled next to my mother in her bed during a visit home one weekend.
My husband, Mike, and I arrived in Orange County at 4 a.m. My mother was already at the hospital, a few drops of blood in the doorway leaving a telltale trace of where she had been wheeled out by the paramedics. For the next week, Mike lived mostly in the kitchen, prepping, serving and cleaning up after my father’s meals, while I was on nurse duty, getting him out of bed, showered, dressed and shuttled around the house.
