Four DEAD children later, she discovered why she was still alive
Manage episode 504992893 series 3492327
What happens when the universe takes everything from you, not once, but four times? Vickie Menendez thought losing her first child - a full-term stillborn at 20 - was the worst pain imaginable. She was wrong.
In 2017, she found her son dead from a drug overdose. Decomposed. Alone. A sight you don't unsee.
A year later, she lost her father the exact moment her husband was having heart attacks.
But the universe wasn't finished with her yet.
Then came the ultimate test: losing two children just 12 days apart. After 48 days in the hospital watching her daughter die, Vickie came home to mourn - only to get a call from police trying to identify her 37-year-old son who had drowned after a seizure.
"That was when it shattered me, but that was when I was like, there's something more to this. No one goes through something like that without there being a much bigger mission behind it."
Four dead children later, Vickie discovered why she was still alive. Not just to survive unimaginable loss, but to transform it into spiritual awakening and teach others that even the deepest devastation has divine purpose.
Discover how a woman who should have been destroyed by grief became a beacon of hope - and why your darkest moments might be preparing you for your greatest calling.
