Carmen Aub, a star many know from the small screen, recently shared deeply personal news. She touched the hearts of her fans by opening up about a tough time in her life as a mother. In a long message on her social media, the actress revealed a diagnosis for her daughter, Lu. The little one, whom Carmen often calls Lu with affection, has “moderate to severe hearing loss.”
The 35-year-old Mexican star admitted feeling scared and unsure about this new challenge. She wondered if she and her family would have the strength or wisdom to guide Lu. This path was completely new to them just a few weeks ago.
Carmen described a roller coaster of feelings they went through. At first, there was denial, as they sought other doctors’ opinions. Anger and sadness followed. But now, she says, they are moving into a phase of action and thanks. They are grateful the condition was found early.
“We found out there’s a whole new world to explore,” she wrote. “Hearing aids, cochlear implants, sign language… these options won’t define Lu. Instead, they will open doors for her.”
Carmen finally shared that the road ahead won’t be easy. Still, her main job as a mother isn’t to change Lu’s reality. It’s to give her every possible tool. This way, Lu can move with confidence between two worlds. One is her own, the deaf community. The other is what many call the “normal” world.
