RICA copy

NITONG nakaraang Linggo lang inihayag nina Rica at Paula Peralejo sa pamamagitan ng Instagram na sabay ang kanilang pagbubuntis. Subalit nitong Huwebes, sad news naman ang post ni Rica.

Ibinalita ng aktres na nagkaroon siya ng miscarriage sa second baby nila ng kanyang husband na si Joseph Bonifacio. 

“It was good while it lasted, it was good even when it ended,” ani Rica sa kanyang post. “It was good while it lasted, it was good even when it ended. God is good all the time. On the blog is an announcement about my pregnancy, for those who care to know, we lost the baby. It isn’t a very happy one so prayers and sensitivity are appreciated.”

Mag-asawang hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral, pinagtapos naman ang 9 na anak!

Sa kanyang blog entry na “Pain and Peace” sa ricaperalejo.ph, aniya:

“One of my biggest fears has been realized… I lost the baby in my womb.

“For those who don’t know, I found out I was pregnant sometime in January, announced it last Sunday to the public, and on Tuesday found out that my baby no longer has a heartbeat.”

Aniya, may heartbeat pa ang baby nang una siyang sumailalim sa ultrasound, sa pangalawang ultrasound niya nalaman ang kanyang pinangangambahan.

“I believe that there is nothing I could have done to keep the baby, or to lose the baby, if it isn’t aligned with God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will. So many stories attest to this, like some moms who don’t want their babies and do everything to rid of them, still get to keep them no matter what. On the other hand, many fit women out there happen to miscarry or lose babies for unknown reasons.

“I actually know 3 women who have miscarried and lost a number of babies in their womb, all who are very dear to me, and they serve as inspiration and hope for me at this time. We’ll never understand it all, why this happened to them, to me, and not to others, but one thing enters my mind right now: God knows what he is doing.”

Umaasa siyang magkikita pa rin sila ng kanyang baby sa heaven pagdating ng araw.

“My friend put it best when she said, ‘It’s true – that sweet baby is safe in the Father’s arms. It’s also totally acceptable to mourn that he or she isn’t in your arms.”

“Basically, that’s the tension of pain and peace that I feel right now. I know the baby really is supposed to be where he or she really is, but I also long to be with him or her so much. As in so much.

“Thank you all for your time. Thank you all who celebrated with me. And thank you all who are also grieving with me now. God’s mercy and goodness don’t make it less painful, but for some reason in it peace and pain can co-exist,” saad pa ni Rica. (ADOR SALUTA)
