Yes, children, because she and her husband have had to bury not just one, but three children within a few years. Years that she not only survives but relives, from the traumatic births that have left their marks—psychological and physical scars that evolve into a journey of transformation from mere survival to rebuilding and rising in the darkness. It is a story about following one’s intuition, one’s heart, finding one’s calling, and finding meaning in the meaningless. Because when the meaning of life for many lies in having children, is there any meaning at all when one loses their child? The total loss of control as a mother, as a human being, both physically and spiritually. It is a tale of lost relationships, losing oneself, reconciling with the past and present to create a future that, for the first time ever, allows the author to find her way home. For who are you when your foundation disappears? How do you handle adversity and turn the worst traumas of your life into your greatest strength? As unpredictable as life is, fate takes yet another turn, and the end of the journey also provides the answer to why.
