Seven years ago it was declared that I would never have kids unless I have an operation to unblock my tubes, but after a lot of prayers and meditation, drinking some African herbs the miracle happened, I conceived. Then my bubble of joy was brutally burst when I miscarried at 4 and half weeks, yep, my miracle left my body on that dreadful Monday morning. Life for a moment became surreal, I just sat there bleeding… I knew I was losing my baby.

I just knew it. I did not want to believe it, I tried keep saying positive things to myself like “women bleed during pregnancy” or “I am a strong woman, I am keeping my baby”, think positive Sego, think positive! But I knew my baby was leaving my body and I went into deep pain.

It’s been two weeks now and when I reflect on it, I am still angry, still in pain, sad and feeling guilty, but I am also grateful to Avo…. Firstly for teaching me that being a Red personality I tend to hold back my pain and try and be strong even when I know I am feeling venerable, and that in my pain I might just shut some people out and not allow them to support me. So during this period I allowed people to support me which helped me recover quicker.

Secondly for all the SMS’s and phone calls from my colleagues, its amazing what words of support and wisdom can do for you when you are in this kind of state, it really brings light and love. I am grateful that courses we do at Avo do not only assist in enhancing working relationships in business but also powerfully impacts our personal lives.

To Vanessa and Jules (Training Manager and M.D.)… for such amazing support, and for all your phone calls and sms’s, my family is amazed that companies who offer emotional support to their staff members actually do exist. I felt loved and taken care of, and love coming from your bosses always feels far more amazing, as you know they are doing it not because they have to but because they choose to.

These really are two amazing woman I work for.

To My family and friends…..my husband rushed to me with his friend Boyo and my brother was there in less than 10 minutes. They drove me to the clinic and stayed there with me all the time. For a week I was surrounded by my mom, my sisters, my nephews and nieces. Friends prayed with me and sent me so much love, I was amazed.

I have two reasons why I am sharing my pain with the rest of the world : is that I would like to encourage you to work on your emotional intelligence by exploring Avo courses.
And also to remember that life sends us wonderful challenges for various reasons. For me this was to remind me that miracles do happen, that I have a very strong support system and that I am a very strong and powerful woman.
