Is your child ? You need to listen to this Welcome to another episode with me on real like with talk with Blessing
Let me share this with you based on request from a listener in Kenya , he said he lost his son to cerebral palsy, it’s a kind of cancer ,
He said he wants me to share his story and use it to talk to other people who are probably going through a hard time with a sick child or a child with disability.. to encourage them because it is not an easy journey, he said to there is still hope of you have faith
So I asked him how he coped , and he said truthfully the stigmatization alone can push a person into depression , he said when he went out out with child, ppl use to look at him like he wore cancer on his body, I actually can relate to that ,
This man in question was a single father to a sick child , I can’t imagine how he had to deal with that phase of his life , well life is a teacher he said you know how it is cancer is an expensive sickness , and nobody to help
He lost the child eventually and said pls he would love to encourage someone through this platform, pls don’t give up God didn’t leave you, your faith will speak testimony for u
I told him my my story too
son had a health challenge which was scoliosis, (which is a topic I am going to teach about soon on this podcast)
you know nothing as painful as seeing a child who you gave birth to, who was very ok, physically and suddenly something comes up and the doctors tell you it’s this is the issue
It destabilizes you, it puts you in a state of confusion , because you don’t know how this happened , you will start asking god why me?
At first I was confused, I was scattered, I was depressed
# When I came to realize god was for me I realize it was a lesson , it was a story , it was a life god wanted me to use to talk to others who would go thru that situation or something similar in life
like a child who is sick
Like a child who is autistic
A child who is blind
A child who has Down syndrome
A child who is disabled
A child who is handicapped
A child who is going through phase and the parents are somewhere saying oh god I am confused
The truth is every child has their story , every child has its life
I know it’s painful , I know it’s devastating to see a child who you have birth to , a child that was looking so fine , so healthy and everyone was saying wow this child is gonna do good and big things ,
I know the feeling I know the trauma when you have a child who has a health challenge, I know exactly how it feels , I remember sometimes I am driving and I see young boys who are tall and straight walking on the road , sometimes I just bust out crying and say to myself God why do I have to go thru this, because at that time my son was bending to one side , which was as a result of the scoliosis so I know what I am saying when i tell you I know how it feels when ur child is having a challenge. someone,
I really want to use my platform to speak to ppl
To give them hope to encourage them I might not have money all the time do help ppl , but there is nothing as good as words of encouragement
Pls if you have a friend whose child is going through a health challenge, reach out to them, encourage them, pray for them it’s not easy ..
They might look like that are not going through anything, but trust me a lot of time they need encouragement for that child ,
Instead of gossiping about the child , or spreading rumor about the child, or some ppl will start announcing to other like this (do you know that my friend pikin get this kind sickness?) call them tell them my friend god will give you strength, god is there for you , it is well with you , don’t worry god will take care of this child.
