Who Am I?
Hey everyone , I’m Deborah —wife, mom to four amazing kids, and a woman who loves God with all her heart, but my friends call me Ms.Duchess. After the heartbreaking loss of my eldest child, I founded One Day One Mother to support grieving parents and help them find hope again. Whether I’m sharing my journey on TikTok, running my businesses, or simply offering a listening ear, my mission is to bring light and love to others, even in the darkest moments. ❤️
My story
On October 23rd, 2016, my world shattered when I lost my eldest child, Cynthia. The grief was overwhelming, and I felt lost in a darkness I couldn’t escape. But through the pain, I held onto love—a divine force that guided me toward healing. Cynthia’s spirit, full of light and love, became my strength.
Cynthia’s passing marked a pivotal moment in my life, altering the very essence of who I am. Life, once characterized by its predictability, now unfolded in unexpected ways, intertwining joy with sorrow. It’s often amidst loss that we come to appreciate the true value of what we once took for granted. Though Cynthia’s absence is deeply felt, I find comfort in the love and support of my present family and sharing my story. No mother anticipates outliving her child; yet, death, indiscriminate and merciless, snatches away whomever it chooses. Please feel free to message me so we can have a talk!
I would like to think that even through all the hardships and tradegies i’ve faced in my life, I am still a blessed mother of four extraordinary children who have blossomed into magnificent individuals in this world. Being able to witness and help them on this journey we call life fills my heart with immeasurable joy, brightening even my darkest days, and believe me I’ve had my fair share. Most importantly, I’m grateful to God for surrounding our family with boundless LOVE.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope you find it both inspiring and useful as you embark on your own design journey.
