    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion on the Promotion of Mental Health Facilities for Mothers. I congratulate Sen. Kibwana for her first Motion that is extremely important. In the last Senate, we discussed mental health in a Bill that was driven by Sen. Kasanga very successfully. However, this one has “teased” out just a little of the sector concerning the women. This Motion is extremely important because mothers raise nations, presidents, kings, engineers and teachers. When mothers lose their children, often times, they are left wondering what could have become of the child they lost. They wonder whether they have lost one who would have grown to become a medical doctor like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as articulated in this Motion, there is nothing more painful that loosing a baby and worse still, you are taken to stay in a ward where babies are crying. This is the one aspect of this Motion that I really appreciate. I know most of us have been either affected or suffered this. When you come across a mother who has lost a baby, sometimes, the mother does not want to talk to anybody, let alone being told to heal in the presence of other babies. It is extremely painful for them as it reminds them that they should be having a baby. I remember going to see a mother who had just lost her baby and she told me, “You know, my baby was bigger than that one” pointing at another woman’s child. You can see that they are re-living the fact that their babies should have lived. I have come across one who said, “I have no idea what I am going to do, am I going to burry this baby or what is going to happen?”"
