Jesus, the Bereaved Mother.

Jesús Lorenzo Martínez, Ojo de Agua, La Paz.

"I don’t know how old I am. I have three girls and a boy. I’m on my own, bringing them up on my own is a struggle, a battle. Six, I had, I had six children but two are dead. Two boys died. They were for God, they weren’t for me, they were for God. One went when he was a month old. The other went when he was one year and four months. Sometimes I grieve. I conform, it’s God’s will. But I am afraid when one gets ill. I can’t get ill or no one will look after them.

One of the girls is working in San Miguel (El Salvador), may God bless her and look after her and protect her. My kids are like me, they are as big as me now, and they will have to struggle like I’ve struggled.

Sometimes I sleep with a flower, and I feel like the boys are with me and I feel strong."
