grieving parents & hope
HOPE
Where God HEALS the members
For the last 10 months I’ve been trying to cope with life without my twins.
Ruben was stillborn 15Aug.06 and his brother Juan, passed away 18Aug.06. After the toughest 10 months of my life, I still have days where I hope that maybe I’m just dreaming, but reality shows time and time again that I have a lifetime in front of me where I need to live without my boys.
The word ‘empty’ does not describe my arms or their cots or the baby room or even the dreams we had for them. No words can describe the pain and loss we face….
….and that so many others have to face daily!
I have started a support group for those that have lost a twin, both twins, triplets or quadruplets. We know what you go through and we understand those feelings and unbearable tears.
I know that there is nothing I can do or say to make things better or to bring comfort, but I can listen and understand.
Please don’t try and walk this road on your own. Please allow someone into your brokenness and open up that mountain of emotions.
I would really love to speak to you and even meet with you. Some months I have a tea at my house for those moms to come and meet each other. You might think you’re the only one that has to go through this trauma. I want you to know that even though your story and situation are unique, there are many moms from Samba that ends up with empty arms and broken dreams. It’s amazing to share your pain with someone who listens with an understanding heart.
Be willing for God to heal you. I will never forget my boys and Juan&Ruben will forever be a part of my life. To be healed does not mean you forget about them- it just means that you get courage again to face the remainder of your life and fulfill your purpose.
My heart really bleeds for each and every mom and dad that has to face this road. Let us be there for each other!
