The story of 15-year-old Haley Singh is almost too heartbreaking to believe. What looked like a few harmless bruises and a little fatigue turned out to be the first signs of a fast-growing cancer. In early October, doctors diagnosed her with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a disease that can appear suddenly and worsen within days. Just one week later, Haley was gone.

Her mother, Dr. Shridevi “Shri” Singh, was an oncologist who spent her life caring for cancer patients. Losing her only child so quickly left her devastated. The day after Haley died, she wrote that there was “no world where we exist without each other” and described their bond as “unbreakable.” To her, Haley was not just a daughter—she was her purpose.

Family, friends, and coworkers say Dr. Singh spoke about Haley constantly. She proudly shared stories about her daughter’s kindness, discipline, and bright spirit. When Haley fell ill, Dr. Singh stayed by her side through every moment, hoping for the miracle she had helped fight for in so many other families.

But grief overwhelmed her. Only 30 days after Haley’s death, Dr. Singh also passed away. Officials say her death was not suspicious, but it left the community stunned. Many said they could not imagine the mother living without the daughter she so deeply adored.

Haley is remembered for her strength, grace, and warm heart. Dr. Singh is remembered as a brilliant, caring doctor and a fiercely loving mother. Their story has left many people mourning two extraordinary lives lost far too soon.
