The Passing On


A week ago family and friends were looking forward congratulate the parents and welcoming the newborn. Little did they know what lie ahead?

Today they rejoice the status of the surviving baby, but also gather to pay their last respects to a wife, mother, daughter and friend who unexpectedly passed on.

Looking at a husband and father so brokenhearted that one can wonder if it will be possible for him to continue a life without someone he so dearly loved?

It is said that grief gives us the full measure of love, and it is somehow reassuring to learn, even by our depth of suffering, how intense and powerful love is.

Although we’ll not find answers to our questions, we know that for those who believe in God there is the promise of being reunited.



The little girl in the incubator reacts when a hand touches her. She’s vulnerable and relies on her father, family and friends to see her for who she is. 

She’s not going to replace the late mother, neither is she to take the blame for the mother’s passing on.
