As a young mother having to face Sickle Cell Disease, my first reaction was disbelief and a deep hurt.
I begin with blaming myself and I did not know how to fix it.
I was in shock and I approached my mother with questions concerning why did this happen to me.
I ask if I had been a difficult child to raise? Her response was no and somethings we may never understand.
What I did not realize was I would not receive answers, not until I had walk through life circumstances.
It's was not easy and I grew into maturity, learning and seeing people through a new window.
I begin to understand what sharing meant and volunteered our two children for case studies.
I would meet many good people on my journey.
Not long ago as a parent I began to feel privilege, honored, favored and blessed having received this inspirational assignment.
They now live each day and tomorrow begins a new chapter based on more decisions and their love for their sister, family and fellow human beings.
All of this included in their lifestyle coupled with salvation, as a gift, they marvel as a real bargain.
As the world turns and as the people in the world view and do things differently opportunities will exist.
If you can believe and picture yourself as an achiever the forces of denial will become crippled.
We will cherish the fond memories of life before death of those we loved.
We may need a support group occasionally to assist us back to reality.
Acquaintances, friends and extended family relationships may help, but it does not improve much over night.
Time seems to position you on a track to recovery.
Time and prayer will help to heal the circumstances surrounding death, but there will always be a void.
However, life must go on because there is plenty to do associated with living and interaction with others.
Having not chosen this journey, but GOD demonstrated an abundance of unconditional love and understanding when he chose me as their mother and caregiver.
