Parents who lost their children

In my book on the chapter of Tragedy,
I wrote about 3 mums who lost their sons.
It's a topic that people don't talk about it.
To me, it is no taboo.
I have become aunty bereavement.
I encourage people to cry.


I am glad my grand father,
Showed me "It is OK to cry."
and "It's OK to talk about our departed loved ones."
My Uncle drowned when he was four,
Grand father talked about him in his 70s.
Today, I like to tell my fellow bereaved mum,
Violeta Pineda Zepeda,
for tomorrow she lost her daughter Maribel to Sids 5 years ago.
and on May 15, 2013, she lost her Jayden,
How cruel it is for people to tell her,
"It's NOT OK to cry."
So cry, my dear Violeta,
I cry with you.

"It is OK to cry."
It has become my catch phrase.
