My Life

 I was browsing my facebook page and a memory had been posted from my post on 9th November, testifying how Jaden was recovering well and thanking friends for standing with us. Little did I know the very next day, Jaden would rest in our Father's arms. So 6years today, actually being a Friday like it was on that day, I felt sad reading it and seeing it. It has been a journey and continues to be with many treasures in the dark. I never thought, I would breath again after Jaden rested yet here we are 6years later confessing of God's goodness and comfort. He has been our comforter and allowed us to walk beside families who have lost their babies and for that we are thankful. Isaiah 61:2-3 has been our anchor verse. To proclaim the year of the Lord ’s favor a nd the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of ...

Happy birthday baby J. It's been 6years since our titles changed to mum&dad of two and to big sister. We still remember and still celebrate the gift of you in our lives. Big sister still says she has 2 brother and that warms my heart. Always in our hearts,always loved baby J.

I love the month of October.  This month has always and will always be special to me.  We were married in October and next week ,we celebrate our 10th anniversary. A few years ago, we had a successful open heart surgery for baby girl in India.  But why I love it the more is that 6years ago, on 13th October, we were gifted with baby Jaden. Our second born baby who we eagerly waited for and loved once we held him in our hands. We thought it was obvious that he would stay with us but after 3 weeks he could not stay. October is is the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. We Remember, the babies born sleeping, those we carried but never held, those we held but could not take home, those who came home, but could not stay. With Jaden not staying as much as we wanted him to, we grieved deeply yet we discovered so many treasures in the dark. When our pastor preached about treasures in the dark, I wondered what he meant.6 years now, we have been able to appre...

Hi, Marriage missions website and its rich resources on all things relationships has been a resource to me. I have shared a link  https://marriagemissions.com/grieving-death-child/  on grieving a child. It leads to so many more articles and videos. Blessings Sly

Hi friend, It's been so long since I dropped by, but I hope that I can write more often. I have been well and blessed to journey with friends through life. It is almost 6years in November, since Jaden rested and I look back now and think I have a little clue to 'my  why me questions'  which I desperately sort answers. You see, when in pain, it is hard to see, hear or believe the answers to our questions. Would it make sense when in pain to hear that your loss would help you encourage others? It would seem ridiculous, unfair or not make sense at all. I totally feel you, I was there too. 6 years down the line, the pain is not intense as it was 6years ago. The loss has made me more human to say the least. I rush towards those mum's that experience loss. Things I took for granted like pregnancy, healthy babies and life are never obvious for me. All these are gifts and blessings from God. So yes today may hurt, tomorrow also but with time you get to see a clearer p...

August 17th 2017 Happy birthday to me today. I am 37years old and so excited about it.Don't remember being this excited as I stand in awe of the Lord who created me. My life has been an amazing journey and I would never have thought I would be who I am today, not in my wildest dreams. Almost 40years(4th floor as we call it), I think when you are 16 years you think you will never reach here but I have no regrets, thankful for my blessings and naming them one by one. So blessed to have Alex, to have mothered 3beautiful children, to be a friend who loves and is loved back by many I have much to be thankful for. Looking forward to a great year of purpose, pursuing what I love..relationships and people. Talking, sharing , positively influencing those I interact with  and sharing God's love with them. May the Lord help me.Amen Thankful Sylvia

Faith and fear cannot be in the same space. One must choose either faith or fear. I have found myself many times confronted with that choice, when a doctor says something and you choose the report of the Lord which is like swimming upstream because our default is fear or at least mine. Over the past 3years, we had noticed Nate was breathing alot through the mouth and despite being quite active, at night he tossed quite abit and would snore so loudly. Recently baby girl complained that she can't sleep with him because he makes noise at night. We have had many visits to the doctors, trying antihistamines, saline drops, probeta just to help unblock the nose, however, we  said enough was enough when we couldn't sleep for 3 nights. Nate was sound asleep but he would seem to stop breathing for like 5secs and we would have to prop him for him to breath yet he was sound asleep. They call it sleep apea( Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathin...
