El diagnóstico que les quitó el movimiento, pero no las ganas de vivir | Con Alicia Contreras

For Alicia Contreras, the real challenge wasn't learning to swim, but learning to support her five children without sinking when a genetic disease robbed them of their mobility. When science told her there was no cure and that they wouldn't live past thirty, her world crumbled; but she decided that sitting idly by wasn't an option. Today, defying all medical predictions, her eldest son has turned fifty, proving that a mother's love can overcome the odds. This is the story of a woman who found refuge in the water; the only place where gravity disappears and the weight of her children rests on the shore, allowing her to be herself again. A moving story that teaches us the art of not suffering over what's missing, of being grateful for the present, and of understanding that it's okay to cry, but that in the end, the only option is to get up and keep going, with, without, or despite everything.
