The blog title, Touched by an Angel was inspired by my precious angel, Luijoe when he guided me towards the light at the end of the tunnel of despair (over his death).
I started this blog on February 24, 2006 with the initial focus on grief support in the Philippines but my blog has since evolved to cover a larger goal– to sharing about my parenting and life experiences to advocating social change for good. Hence, my blog is not only about grief education or my grief recovery. Topics also include Parenting, health, & family life recovery, marriage, social commentary and my thoughts and opinions about eventful or uneventful days.

I read it. Thank you for the kind words.
hi noemi,
I’m 37. A mom of 4 kids. this is my first time to read your blog….na inspire ako because i also loose a son. He’s my newborn, died of sepsis. Sabi nila kapabayaan daw ng ob ko. Ipinahiram lang sya sa amin for 7 days….then he passed away…..
It’s been 3 months since then…..pero until now, i still have his baby cloths with me……Never ko pa na hinawakan or tiningnan ulit ang mga ito……Di pa yata ako nakaka-move on….
Anyway, your story touches me. Buti ka pa, you have learned to accept the reality and it shows through your achievements in life!!!!!
Good luck!
Aileen
Hi Noemi,
I found your blog by google searching. I lost my 6 year old daughter to an automobile accident in july of this year(2008). What you said is true, grief is not an option but misery is. I created a blog in memory of my daughter. http://hannahmemorial.blogspot.com. May God bless all the works of your hands.

Keep on giving hope & inspiration, YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!!
you’re an inspiration. i chanced about your blog looking for the failon update. i am moved by your story and your path to recovery. i have a 1.5 yr old son and i can’t bear the thought of suddenly losing him. sometime while walking, naiisip ko yun and it scares me. tapos yesterday papasok ako ng office, nakita ko may lamay sa neighbor namin. i asked my mom kung sino ang sabi nya yun anak nung kapitbahay namin. the child had a complication at birth (exposed yun brain) kasi at na-wish ko lang feature sila. yun infant iniiwan nung nanay sa 6-yr old son na isa pag pumapasok yun nanay at minsan pa daw nakikita nilalanggam yun bata… i told my mom, iresponsable naman yun nanay na yun kasi how can a 6-yr old child care for an infant?!? anyway, i hope you can touch the heart of that mother and make her realize the true meaning of motherhood.
wow congrats on all the awards! keep it up! 🙂

Reading your blog is truly inspiring. In so many ways we are connected. I had breast cancer and created a blog with the same name. My name is the name of your sister and I lost my twins on July 25th, 1985. I created my blog to help other Breast Cancer Survivors as you created your’s to help people deal with grief.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Lorna S.
