A woman who lost her son and mother in a 6.6-magnitude earthquake that rattled İzmir on Oct. 30, 2020, sobbed with sorrow on Mother's Day as police found a letter she wrote to her mother a decade ago.

"I feel empty. I lost my mother and a child when I was getting used to being a mother," Yağmur Gürman told Demirören News Agency on May 9.
