The thought of having a sick child is emotionally traumatizing, it is stressful and it's an experience any mother would not wish to experienced,having a sick child in the family can turn a happy home into a sorrowful place.
As a mum, it is difficult to watch your child sick and at the same time trying to survive and it's more devastating when you can't do anything about it, because naturally a mother will always want to protect her child. No matter how stressed out a mum may be while attaining to a child's needs, yet it's not to be compared with how terrifying it is when the child is battling with sickness.
I remember when my second daughter was sick,at first she had difficulty in breathing she felt helpless and as a mum I was so weak to watch her thrive for survival,I couldn't do anything for myself, because i needed to be with her and to hold her,it was impossible to to get any other thing done, it was traumatizing for me as I held her in my hands. I wanted to be assured that my daughter will be fine,I kept asking the nurses thousands questions in minutes, I wanted my child to look up and smile but for some reasons my fears took the best part of me and my fears were greater than my hopes.
But in all these was my undiluted love for my child,my tears was uncontrollable,I couldn't sleep for days, panic sets in, my anxiety was at the highest level and I couldn't even control my heart beat, I can remember how scary it was, emotion like sadness and pains overwhelmed me, it was difficult for me to relax and maintained a positive atmosphere, it was hard for me to manage my fears, I was deeply confused pained and devastated I wish i should have been the one sick not a poor innocent little girl who doesn't have the strength and stamina for it,her health was my top priority, I couldn't even think of anything else, there was no fun at home. I felt miserable, I still remember the feeling as if it was yesterday but am grateful we overcame and she came out stronger and better.
My unreserved respect goes out to all the mothers out there I know motherhood has a lot of responsibilities and challenges, and taking care of a sick child is a huge responsibility on it own. Therefore to all the mothers with a sick child, “I know it's hard, it's hurt, it's stressful and it's traumatizing and you are doing your best, don't lose hope miracle can still happen,I believe in your love for your child I know it can work wonders
And to other mothers, who are not experiencing this difficult situation of having a sick child,please reach out to those close to you that are experiencing it,encourage and console them, I believe it can provide a great comfort to them and it may lift their wounded spirit. MY RESPECT TO ALL MOTHERS.
