Through_The_Eyes_Of_A_Mother

Through The Eyes Of A Mother Life for me has never been easy or stress free, but it seems that lately things have just progressively gotten worse. Work conditions have become more unfavorable, and I am faced everyday with excessive work and very little pay to show for it. I feel as though I am letting my family down, but as God as my witness, I am trying to make the situation better. The struggle all started about two years ago when my husband Michael was killed in a mining accident. He was working one Monday morning for the Virginia Coal Company when an explosion caused him and fourteen other men to be trapped inside one of the mines. Due to lack of swift communication, by the time men arrived to remove the rubble, all fifteen of them had died from suffocation. I had just delivered our third child and was utterly devastated when I found out that I had been widowed. The first year was not too difficult. With the help of my relatives, I was able to provide for my family and still take care of chores and such around the house.
