    I was sent this a few times during the day of Tisha bav and didn't have the courage to open it,due to my own journey and the current situation of our now. But once I actually started listening I couldn't stop. In the end she GAVE me such courage. She's a reàl hero and has been blessed with the gift of expression from within,truly a gift. Thank you

    Nothing compares to the resilience shown by Jewish mothers.
    The many indescribable losses. Yossi drowned scuba diving. He was scholarly, querky, loved nature and words. It reminds me of our 23 year old son, who brings such a delight to my soul.
    Sitting sheva with a friend in Monsey taught me about the inherent
    value each life possesses ❤ Reciting the Mourners Kaddish made it doubly meaningful
    It makes no mention of death. Instead, it is a prayer dedicated to praising God.

    When i was a young kid, we'd often host our little 2 year old cousin for shabbos when his parents would go away. One week he was supposed to come to us and at the last minute he went along. He drowned and passed away that shabbos. For years we wondered if had he come to us he'd have lived but at some point we were told it might have happened by us... which would've been so awful and we no longer felt guilty

    Loss doesn't change, it's placed in a pocket of our soul. Those who leave us
    there souls in heaven remembers you with a mother's love. I don't find loss becomes less but holding my loss in the pocket of my soul is a very special love that in quiet times or the sound of their voice, my soul quietly spends a brief moment of
    whose soul lived inside me, sharing a mother and baby knowing at this time you both are only two in love.

    I have a child with NF1 and another with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. I’ve also lost a baby. They all carry different mutated genes and more than one. During genetic testing, they always state we are possibly descended from Jews. They say that particularly NF is prominent. We’re from different Hispanic countries, but I have Balkan ancestry and his family is traced to Morocco, and I do wonder about the Jewish diaspora, but who knows?? The life this lady has led has not been easy, and my heart goes out to her and her family 🤍

      sure large diaspora Jews in Morocco, and from Balkan since the time of inquisition, with many Moroccan Jews now live in Israel. but when some people ascribe particular illnesses to the Jews it’s more like a hoax, as there is nothing in Jewish texts, and that which is not in Torah, is not true. May G-d bless your family your children with healthy happy life in body and spirits and from strength to strength.

    Every person that goes thru grief asks questions like she did. Including myself. I went thru grief as well. Nowhere near what she did and I remember asking these deep questions. What if and why? And guilt. Ultimately I got to the same place that we can’t delve into more questions bec they bring u immeasurable pain that doesn’t make it easier but on the contrary it brings more confusion. So I got to the same point she did. Just accepting and moving on. And putting one foot in front of the next. Its not easy at all.

    Whew‼️. I had ten pregnancies in 9 years. Two miscarriages the. A beautiful strong baby boy. Then a crib death. 😢 then 9 months later BH a big healthy girl. Then three more pregnancies Two miscarriages and a stillborn boy at 6 months pregnancy. Then BH a second girl born three weeks early. But healthy. Then 18 months later a healthy boy also three weeks early. When I went for my three months checkup they found pre cancerous cells of the cervix. Which they removed. So no more children allowed. But Hashem had other ideas and after 4 years I fell pregnant again and the doc did not want me to have this baby but we asked the Rebbe nd he told is it was in the hands of Hashem. After mostly being in hospital my wonderful gift from Hashem was born at 33 weeks. A preemie. NOw married with BH many children

From my experience you don't have to be strictly observant to know that. My connection with Hashem is very comforting. I think I've always had it and maybe it's because I have and was born with a disability. She's wise!

    Devora doesn't get into the details of Yossi's drowning, but something is really wrong here. I took a scuba diving course in the Caman Islands. So, Yossi had to have checked the oxygen tank. He had to have learned the sign language of scuba divers and, since it was a test to be an instructor, he had to have been with an instructor to make sure he was doing everything right. Plus, Yossi was a life guard, so he knew water safety. I know it's too late for Yossi, but there seems to be something very wrong here. I wouldn't even rule out foul play. This is, for sure, not Devora's fault.
