La Tahzan for Mother

by Asma Nadia

Dari manakah setiap ibu mendapatkan kekuatan agar bisa melewati berbagai kesulitan hidup?
Atau peristiwa demi peristiwa yang menguji kesabaran?
Atau kehilangan yang seakan merenggut setengah nyawa?

Melalui La Tahzan for Mother’s, para ibu di tanah air berbagi kisah mereka, juga rahasia, dan semua persoalan, yang selama ini coba disembunyikan di balik senyuman.

Selalu ada alasan untuk semua kejadian. Dan bahwa Allah tidak pernah meninggalkan hamba-Nya, sekalipun kita tidak selalu menyambut ujian dan cobaan yang Dia berikan dengan senyuman terbaik.

Semoga sejumlah kisah ini bisa membuat kita berkaca, bahkan pada yang bersiap menyapa

Ada pengalaman yang sama dengan yang saya alami. Lupa dengan mba siapa...

Tapi intinya, tetap berusaha dan berjuang untuk anak tercinta yang merupakan titipan dan amanat Allah SWT untuk selalu memberikan yang terbaik dan yang merupakan haknya.
