Story Time 💭

My journey as special needs mom🌻💖

Pamwe pacho unotongoona kuti dzinenge dziri nyasha dzinotitakura pakati pe tribulation. I think everyone who has ever faced a tough situation can testify to this, especially kurwarirwa nemwana.

You might lose yourself… you get depressed… and you’re always anxious about what may go wrong. You start avoiding crowds because you can’t show your pain. Sometimes even a simple thing like blinking your eye scares you.

I remember those days I was admitted with Kayla, I would play my gospel music, kneel down, and suddenly become short of words to pray. All I could say was, “Mwari, itai kuda kwenyu, kusava kuda kwangu.” And when you’re on that hospital floor, you don’t even care what it looks like… you just surrender.

You wish it could be you sick, not that little innocent soul. It’s heartbreaking — watching your child go through a seizure, powerless, praying silently that God intervenes. It’s traumatizing… but through it all, we give God glory.

We are still going, still standing, still carrying on, only because of His mercy and grace. 🙏🏽

💜 Venting Out as a Special Needs Mom or Guardian 💜

There are days when the weight of it all feels too much.
The endless appointments. The stares. The exhaustion. The love that burns bright but also drains you dry.

✨ It’s okay to feel overwhelmed.
✨ It’s okay to need a moment for you.
✨ It’s okay to say, “This is hard.”

Here are a few things you can do when the pressure builds up:

🌱 Breathe – slow, deep breaths reset your nervous system.
🌱 Write it out – journaling helps release what your heart can’t carry.
🌱 Cry if you need to – tears are strength leaving the body.
🌱 Take a short break – even five minutes of stillness is healing.
🌱 Talk to someone safe – you don’t have to hold it alone.

Remember: Venting is not weakness—it’s self-care. 🌸
Your feelings are valid. And you matter too.

💜 Special Needs Parenting: The Silent Weight of Depression & Anxiety 💜

Being a special needs parent is a journey of unconditional love, but it also comes with invisible battles many won’t see.
Behind the smiles, the therapy sessions, and the advocacy—there are moments of exhaustion, loneliness, anxiety, and even depression.

It’s not weakness. It’s not failure. It’s the heavy weight of caring so deeply, often with little rest or support.

🌱 If you are here:

You are not alone.

Your feelings are valid.

Seeking help does not make you less strong—it makes you human.

Let’s normalize these conversations, because healing begins with honesty. Together, we can support not only our children’s growth, but also our own well-being.

✨ Remember: You matter too.

💜 Advocating for My Treasure 💜

Life has a way of showing us what really matters. Sometimes we are called to make the toughest choices for the people we love most. When it comes to Kayla, I have never second-guessed my choices.

Her journey pushed me out of my comfort zone and into places I never imagined I’d have to be. Being her mom brought out a strength I didn’t know I had. I’ve had to shut out some people along the way, because at the end of the day—my blood, my children, Anotida and Anotipa (Kayla), are my treasure.

Kayla is more than a child with special conditions—she is a warrior. One day it’s convulsions, the next it’s something else, but through it all, she continues to teach me resilience, patience, and unconditional love.

This is why I advocate for special needs parenting. 💪 We don’t need pity. We need support, awareness, and understanding. Every child deserves to be seen beyond their condition, and every parent walking this road deserves to be reminded: You are not alone.

✨ Longer Storytelling Style (to really connect):
Some days I feel like I’ve got it all together. Other days, I’m just holding on with tears in my eyes, reminding myself that tomorrow is another chance 💜💜💜

Being a special needs mom isn’t easy,it’s a journey full of love, patience, and lessons I never thought I’d learn. I celebrate the smallest milestones like they are the biggest victories, because for us… they are 🌸💜

To every parent on this road, you are not walking it alone. We are stronger together, and every step forward is worth celebrating 🙏🙏🙏
