The Healing Power of A Mother's Love, Featuring Edite Simoes

"You are not allowed to crack. Your daughter needs you.  After she gets better, you can crack... I was like a rock."When Portuguese realtor Edite Simoes became a mother at 40, she and her husband fell in love instantly with their beautiful baby daughter. Family life was natural and full of joy.Four years later though, their happy world turned upside down in a single instant when a tragic accident left their four year old daughter in a coma due to cardiac arrest and a severe brain injury. She spent nearly a year in the hospital recovering (including a brain surgery).Sleeping in a chair next to her daughter's hospital bed, Edite devoted herself wholly for months on end to helping her little daughter re-learn how to swallow, eat, talk, walk, believe in her own ability to heal and much more. Edite put her career fully on hold and focused on what mattered most. In this moving episode recorded live from Portugal, Edite will share her daughter's miraculous story of healing and also the powerful lessons she herself learned during one of the most difficult and intense situations that any mother can experience.This story will move you to tears ~ in a good way!Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?
