Something changes when you become a mom, when a baby becomes an inseparable part of your life. Holding your niece or nephew and playing with them, taking care of them might seem all fun and lovable. But when you actually become a " Mother " , something changes.
I used to be sensitive whenever I hear about babies and kids being hurt during accidents or wars and natural disasters. I used to feel really bad when I saw babies suffering due to poverty. It really bruised my heart to accept this reality of the world. But I was able to live with hope for a better future.
But now, after becoming a mom, when I see someone else's baby suffering, it tears me apart. There is an uncontrollable grief. My heart aches and my eyes become tearful at even the smallest of posts or images of babies being hurt due to war. It is unbearable at times that I want to hate and curse anyone who did that. I couldn't stop even after that. I no more feel hopeful.
It is so terrifying to even imagine a baby going through toughest times with no one to care. I cried my eyes out when my new born baby's tiny hands had small cuts and bleeding when the nurse took blood for testing.
It is depressing for me to even read or see any news about babies and small kids being hurt, hungry and killed. It is disheartening beyond measure and this pain is unexplainable. Anyone who has felt even a tiny bit of motherhood might relate to this unending pain.
Being a powerless person, what can I do?
Accept the reality of this harsh evil world? Be scared for my baby? Be grateful that my baby is safe? Should I move on everytime my heart aches for someone else's baby?
What a mother's heart can do other than praying?
