¨Let us find each other¨ Comedian Zeddy calls upon women who have suffered miscarriages like her, in emotional post

Churchill show female comedian, Zeddy recently welcomed her third child in August but she never had the chance to hold a second baby because it was a still birth.

She narrates her ordeal through social media in long posts. Seeking to hold hands with mothers who have carried pregnancies they never had a chance to deliver.

Zeddy starts off by explaining a mother´s love to her unborn child and the struggles that come with it, penning:

When you realize that you are pregnant, there is a very strong feeling of joy in your heart. And it comes with high expectations as well as responsibilities of how you will raise that child. But before the child is born, there is the struggle with pregnancy fever, mood swings, pain, sometimes anxiety and this is what is paid back through the birth of a healthy baby..

It however gets heartbreaking when you go through it all, but never get to see the fruits of your labor.

unfortunately, some of us have found ourselves on the wrong side of this when we lose our unborn children, or children die at birth while others die few days or weeks after birth. It is so devastating and the pain is beyond human comprehension, but in most cases nobody else understands apart from the mother who is grieving.

Aftermath

These women will go through a depressive state in their life. Which if not controlled, can easily channel suicidal thoughts and she is no different.

Most women who lose their babies end up suffering from major depressive disorder. Where they lose taste of everything in life, they condemn themselves and hate everybody around them. And when this is not addressed it often leads to this woman becoming suicidal. Personally I have been through this and I almost lost my life at some point. But up to this point am still struggling to heal but I have been able to overcome to pain to great extent.

Unfortunately, counselling services are not readily available to them so most women will ´end up getting stuck in their grief zone for life.´

However, she is among the mothers who have braved up over time. And are here to call upon mothers who have suffered a similar ordeal.

Because no one really should go through such.

Am speaking about this because I have found some way we can exploit and get help in closing the doors of pain as we look forward to healing completely. If you are such a mother or you know somebody who have lost a child, please let us communicate and find each other for us to restore our lives and our dignity.. No matter the circumstances that led to your baby not making it, we are still mothers. And we need to recreate our selves through psychological support.. My story of pain will yield joy for many people and am here to tell you we can wake up and move again..

Her comment section was filled with similar testimonies. Women lauded her for the brave step, to have support groups to lift women who might have lost hope.

Very own radio personality, Massawe Jappani opened up on her similar experience. One that she cites is sure traumatizing for any mother who has to go through it.
