To Every Mother of the Motherland, and Beyond. This one is for you, the one who has felt the weight of STIGMA after a diagnosis. Especially the one who’s had a family member look you straight in the eye and blame you for your child’s diagnosis.
The one whose marriage didn’t survive it. The one whose friends disappeared. The one whose village got quiet when your life changed.
The one who’s been laughed at. Stared at. Left out of the room, the family gathering, the WhatsApp group chats.
The one who has been shamed for something she never caused.
Hear me today!
You do not have to carry that blame.
Neither should you carry any ounce of that shame.
Jesus bore our shame on the cross, so we do not have to carry it.
No more shame,
You are blessed.
