Tito Idakula

And she has a story to share.

Bez and Tito getting married in January, 2014.

This is a very unique story because you don't get to hear people share their grief with the world, especially when it involves the loss of a life. And not just any life, a baby's life. I must admit I was almost moved to tears on reading her story, it was heart-rendering. In her story she shares her journey through the birth process of her child, the corresponding tragic events that followed due to the baby's rare condition(Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) and her faith in God. An excerpt...

''The Test becomes The Testimony

It is so odd, writing about the loss of a child, you fear that the words can never fully express the pain and the gravity of the situation. But I don’t mean to just express my pain and loss. I mean to show God’s power and love even in the darkest days.

I come from a culture of silence, where speaking about certain issues is almost taboo. One of the most kept secrets is when a woman loses a child, no one talks about it and it is almost like it never happened. People only speak about it when the woman has another child or they find out that you have lost a child. I fall in the category of the latter.

I gave birth to my beautiful daughter on the 2nd of March 2015 and she passed away on the 3rd of March 2015, after 42 weeks of pregnancy.”

Even with the unfortunate event, she still found strength in God. That's an incredible amount of faith shown by her! Admirable. I'll encourage you to read the full story from her blog. Much love to the Idakulas and may the joy of the Lord continue to be their strength.
