The pain of losing one’s child can sometimes be unbearable, these are the kind of pain that can’t be described or explained, it is a kind of pain or phase that no one expects to go through, but some people have to go through it, not because they want to go through it willingly, but because it happens unexpectedly and they don’t have control over it. Moving from such situations can be hard sometimes, but time will definitely help to heal the wounds and trauma such experiences have created. For FEB Idahosa it’s been 14 years since he lost his first child, but time has helped him and his wife heal.
Faith Emmanuel Benson Idahosa also known as FEB, is the son of late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, a prominent man of God from Edo State, who is the founder of Church of God mission international.
FEB took to his verified Instagram account to share the story of how he lost his first son hours after he was born. FEB said that 14 years ago, precisely on the 4th of July, he and his wife shed a lot of tears because they lost their son that morning few hours after his birth, he said he asked a lot of questions and had no words to say, but they decided to give their tears to God and trust him.
FEB said that over the course of 12 months God began to perform miracles in their lives which showed that he was watching silently. He said that God instructed him to open a special child Care unit in their hospital for mothers and children in Nigeria, and one year after the death of their first son, God blessed them with another child named Ekundayo, which means “my mourning has turned into joy”. In conclusion, FEB used the opportunity to advice those that have lost something or someone and might be thinking that God doesn’t care, he told them that God cares about them and they will surely smile again.
Faith Emmanuel Benson Idahosa is married to Laurie Whetstone Idahosa, and they are blessed with three children. FEB is the president of Benson Idahosa University, and he is also a man of God.
