When Sight Fades, Love Stays: A Valentine’s Episode on i-Listen 

This Valentine’s season, our latest podcast episode reminds us that love is not measured by what the eyes can see—but by what the heart chooses to stay for.

The episode features the extraordinary story of Josefina Olorocisimo. A woman who lost her sight, yet gained a deeper vision for life, love, and service. Now fully blind in one eye and slowly losing sight in the other, she refused to let darkness define her destiny. Instead, she became a guiding light for her fellow visually impaired—helping them reclaim dignity, independence, and the belief that life can still be full, meaningful, and joyful.

 

 

When her world began to fade, her husband, Tom, did not walk away. Knowing from the very beginning that her condition would worsen, he chose to stay—steadfast, patient, and unwavering. Through hospital visits, uncertainty, and the complete loss of sight, he became her anchor, proving that true love is not about seeing perfection, but about standing beside someone no matter what.

Their story is a powerful testament to the many forms of love: Love for a community that needs hope, love that empowers and uplifts the marginalized, and love that endures even when the future is uncertain

This Valentine’s episode is not just a love story between husband and wife—it is a love letter to resilience, compassion, and faith. It challenges the idea that disability is an ending, and instead shows that with support, purpose, and genuine love, it can be a new beginning.

 
As she shares in the episode, losing her sight did not take away her light—it revealed it.
  

Tune in to this moving Valentine’s special and rediscover what it truly means to love deeply, see differently, and live fully.
