Remembering Rahima - A Story of Heartache, Healing and Hope

This is the story of a young, first-time mother who was unprepared for the unimaginable- the possibility of losing her baby. It is a personal story that speaks of the author's experience of losing her baby daughter immediately after her birth. More importantly it is a story of the process she goes through to come to terms with her loss, to forgive herself and forgive others and to move on with her life. The author captures the pain, suffering and shock of the experience of losing her daughter after struggles getting pregnant. But what she also shares is hope-the road she took to heal that suffering. For anyone who has experienced something similar, this is a story of solidarity, but one that demonstrates that survival is possible. In a time that it seems that life cannot continue, when our worlds may be filled by the opposite of life and joy, there is a light. There is a beacon of hope.
