Sophia's Angels Book

Sophia’s Angels is a book of love through Sophia’s experience with leukemia. Her journey was heartfelt.   She wanted the world to know that even with all of this pain, there is love and hope.    Her story is to inspire compassion and respect.   As you read, you will feel strength and trust.   If you too are in the world of illness, her story will remind you of your sanity. You are not alone and hopefully our experience will help you with the tough decisions that are made by you… the parent, when you are lost and overwhelmed

Almost everything that they warned you of living with leukemia occurred with my Mija.    I had to write because I knew that Sophia’s story was more. I wrote when I felt inspired to write with Sophia by my side loving me as I put her life in front of you with the intention of healing your spirit.

When she was first diagnosed, we watched as everything foreign occurred. We felt helpless.   As time progressed worse, I knew there was more we could do. I could not just sit and watch and wait anymore.    Overwhelmed with grief and anger with God, Sophia sang a song that she said she sang with the Angels…. and it was beautiful. We have to believe…. and that is when I asked for guidance and help.

With an open mind full of hope I began to learn the technique of massage, reflexology and touch.   I became aware of the use of essential oils. With the touch and the aroma of healing oils, Sophia was healed everyday for the ailment of the day.

We were in the hospital for most of her experience and my stories of keeping her busy and alive is what I hope will inspire you to live big with life and stand strong with your decisions. Hospital living is tough. There are no right or wrong decisions, you are human, and the choices you make are right for the moment.

Sophie went to heaven exactly one year and one week after her diagnosis

If you are a physician, nurse or caretaker thinking about a career in Child Oncology or Child anything, then read this story first.   Every family is different and every illness is it’s own, but the common link is the ongoing respect that you will have to have for every patient and parent. After reading Sophia’s Angels, you will never forget compassion. You will become the “Walking Angel” in medical clothing.

As a parent, after reading Sophia’s Angels you will not just sit and accept what is happening and feel alone. You will be aware of similar situations and guided in your own path of healing. Ask questions…..Ask a lot of questions and if you still do not have your answer, then ask some more questions.   Sophia’s Angels are here to guide you.

Also, if your child becomes an Angel, it is our hope that after reading our story, you will be reminded that our children are beautiful Angels in heaven, hugging us, loving us, guiding us and watching us with love.   There is no time in heaven and we have the right as parents to experience their love until we too are in heaven.    It is our responsibility to live on when they are gone.
