Yesterday I was so touched and learnt a very big lesson about life, that Living for a purpose isn't living it for me but for what God has designed me for. The short powerful prayer was "LORD, do not take me, my children still need me” this prayer included many who met/meets Mrs Mwangala Lethbridge as she's an inspiration to many, and her life is a life of lives.

Mwangala, this memoir is a bitter sweet pill. Bitter cause it has made me shed tears imagining what you went through but Sweet because you got up and are Still Standing.

Amazingly, every repeat read yields a different understanding and perspective.

I have learnt through this memoire that while we may go through similar or even different but as heavy issues, we must respect our different reactions and the pace at which we heal if we ever do.

Mwangala please do not underestimate the positive impact your memoir has had on me and am sure many others including my daughters whom I see on the pics you posted.

Thank you for sharing the bitter yet sweet encounter in your life time.

Opening up that personal space of your life is evidence of your selflessness.

This book is a must read, I assure you, it will lift you up as you realize that despite how heavy the load is, you can always get up and remain standing #StillStanding

Thank you Mwangala.

I have the privilege of knowing Mwangala and the honour of being her niece. Reading this book, I felt many of the same emotions I felt on 28th April 2019, following behind her and Notulu for a few miles of the London Marathon: awe, wonder, pride, inspiration, and the knowledge that truly anything is possible if you are determined and allow others to help you. In her writing as in life, Mwangala demonstrates the power of vulnerability and the bravery of honest self-reflection.

Your story is truly inspirational and I can not even image how much you had to dig into your soul to produce the words that are now a living testimony of your experience

Thats what comes through....healing is a journey🙏
You know loss for many people is in diggerent forms, loved ones, marriages, Jobs etc....

But its still a loss and the healing process and journey is similar....you have to go through and not around....and that lesson comes through strongly in your book🙏🙏
