SOMETIMES, PAIN CAN MAKE YOU QUESTION GOD!
Joyce was a wife to a wonderful gentleman and mother to amazing 3 children. During one of the holidays several years back, they were to leave the village and return to the city. She decided to stay back with her daughter and come back to the city the following day. However, the husband and their two other children hit the road for Nairobi.
Sadly, when they reached Narok, just before Suswa, they were swept away by the notorious Narok flash floods. Flash floods occur when rains are overwhelming and so as the water goes downhill, it gains momentum, carrying along with it massive debris including huge boulders, trees etc. As they drove past what looked as just some kidogo water that they drive through, they were swept away and the vehicle was only found several days later further down the winding path of that ‘river’.
Their car had been tossed on the massive rocks and debris in the waters, and as they tried to secure themselves by closing windows, they all sadly suffocated and died. When they were found, the water in the car and impact because of the flood had truly spoilt the bodies.
The heartbroken widow mourned deeply. How could she deal with the loss of a spouse and children who were in perfect health, and now lose them in a jiffy?!! PAIN!!!
When the mother of Joyce heard about the loss of her son-in-law and grandchildren, she was heartbroken for her daughter Joyce who would now be a widow unexpectedly. The mother had herself been unwell before all this, but was holding up alright. Here she was now, wondering how her daughter would deal with this. No warning of illness or anything. After burying the son-in-law and grandchildren, Joyce’s mother illness got worse. 6 months later, she died. 😭😭😭 Double PAIN!!!
When Joyce’s mum died, I don’t want to imagine the pain she went through. I guess pain gets you to a point you become numb. You have borne it so deeply and so closely that your tears are totally spent. It’s like puking when you have eaten nothing for many days. You feel pain in your stomach with each attempt to throw up, but nothing comes out and it’s just painful. PAIN!! Raw PAIN!!
Yet that’s not all, whe
