People can be very judgmental. We can look at situations from the outside and come to all kinds of assumptions about a person’s life. There have been so many conversations, debates and FB discussions about Siohvaughn Funches-Wade (ex-wife of Dwyane Wade). I have actually participated in a few of the disagreements surrounding her marriage and life after the marriage. No, it’s not any of our business, but I happen to truly empathize with her and what she is going through.
A new video has emerged of Siohvaughn stating that she literally has nothing now.

I empathize with her because, according to reports, and a dear friend of mine, who happens to be her cousin, Siohvaughn was with Wade before the money and the fame. She was with him when there was nothing. Her parents took him in during the challenges with his own family. She supported him and was his backbone.
I empathize with her because their love began young and there is a special history there that no one can replace.
I empathize with her because she is a parent, who no longer has custody of her babies. I can’t imagine how hard that must be.
I empathize with her because her ex-husband’s new love life is all over TV and magazine covers. There is no escape.
I empathize with her because I have a hard time picturing myself giving my all to someone to end it in this very dark place.
Not everyone handles heartbreak and disappointment the same way. Yes, she needs to eventually accept that the marriage is over and start her own new beginning. But instead of judging and gossiping let’s pray for her situation and healing. Even though it may not be how we would have handled the situation, it’s still someone’s life. Someone’s heart is broken. There is a young woman who is struggling to get her life back on track. Moving on is easier said than done. She has lost the most important people in her life, her children. Now she isn’t actually homeless, but is truly a woman hurt. Please pray that healing will come her way and soon.
