Yes for those who have experienced the loss of a child we exhibit different kinds of emotions at this time of the year. However my message to us all is that we should be grateful for an opportunity to celebrate motherhood. Even if the physical emptiness stirs up negative emotions in us, me must remember that we are Mothers in the real sense of the word. I encourage us all to celebrated the grace of having been called Mum or Mama at a point in time in our lifetime.. Some of us still play this role to those who are not our natural children but are standing out to be counted as ‘children’ to us since the loss of our natural child.

We are all on a tiring journey of ‘ new normal life’ and should never be tired of having a glimpse of ‘what is’ and ‘ what might have been’. Yes our lives are now marked out by smelling the roses and touching the thorns. Let us thank our Maker for the grace to offer a thousand thanks for being alive to smell the roses, though unwillingly. Here is what destiny has brought our way , so let us embrace it.
Never give up on life. The fact that you have survived years after your loss should tell you that you can control You. According to Ralph Marston, you can control what you think, how you feel about life and what you do. You can forge a positive result out of any situation and make it into something great.
