British woman Azuma Wundowa, daughter of one of the victims of the July 7, 2005, London bombings, recalled the trauma of discovering on television that her mother, Gladys, was among the dead.

She was 16 at the time and saw her mother’s name confirmed by the BBC three days after the attack, before the family had been officially informed by authorities. Gladys had just returned to work after a difficult period that included a home burglary and an emergency trip to Ghana for a funeral.

The attack, which killed 52 people and injured over 700, deeply impacted Azuma’s life. Today, she works as a consultant and writer. In an interview with LADbible, she said the trauma still lingers and that the way she received the news continues to affect how she perceives news coverage. “I always wonder if the families were told first,” she revealed.

Azuma’s story is featured in the documentary “Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers“, available on Netflix. She also published the book *The Dressmaker’s Daughter*, in which she shares the long-lasting effects of her loss and advocates the importance of learning from traumatic experiences.
