May Edochie, the wife of Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has finally broken her silence about the death of her son, Kambilichukwu.
KanyiDaily recalls that the 16-year-old boy, Kambilichukwu Edochie died three months ago when he collapsed while playing football in school.
In a heartfelt message shared on her Instagram page, May Edochie expressed her gratitude for the support and love she has received from family, friends, and well-wishers around the world.
The grieving mother reflected on the profound pain and intensity of losing a child, stating that there is no English word to capture the depth of this loss.
Despite the inexpressible grief, the mother of three acknowledges that she and her family are coping with the help of prayers and the support of loved ones.
She thanked her friends, family, and the brands she represents for their patience and assistance during this difficult time.
May also expresses her appreciation to her fans for their unwavering support and described their love as a manifestation of God’s grace.
While she acknowledges the devastating circumstances, May said she is hopeful that blessings and solace will come out of this tragedy.
Yul Edochie’s first wife concluded her message by bidding farewell to her beloved son and expressing her longing for their eventual reunion.
May Edochie wrote, “Words are not enough to express our gratitude to you all. In all of these ordeals, we believe that this immeasurable loss is heaven’s gain.
“When you lose a husband, you are called a widow…You lose a wife, a widower…You lose a father, fatherless…You lose a mother, motherless…You lose both parents, an orphan…You lose a sibling, a “forgotten mourner”…
“Other than vilomah which means “against a natural order”, I cannot find an English word for losing a child. I do not think there’s any death as intense and painful as losing one’s child. We are still in inexpressible grief, however, I want you all to know that we are fine by God’s special grace.”
May also thanked all her family members, friends and fans who have stood by her to comfort and offered succour during her trying times.
“Indeed the uncertainty of tomorrow remains a mystery and some occurrences are unforgettable but we just have to find a way to live with them no matter how painful and difficult they are.
“The incredible love and support from you all my family, friends and well-wishers all around the globe through various means are unimaginable and unconditional. In recent times, we have experienced the most devastating and traumatic circumstances of life but your prayers have kept us going.
“My friends and family have been a great pillar and helped me through the process in the most amazing ways. All the brands I represent have been kind and patient. Life left me in a state of resigning myself to fate with a meaningless and overwhelming feeling, but you, my amazing fans, stood by me even in my absence. This love is “God’s grace” and can only be described as both the wonder and awe of serendipity.”
“We truly appreciate and cannot thank you all enough, and sincerely hope that everything sums up into enabling us to stand the tragic loss and panic. We only have God’s blessings to offer in return and pray that affliction will never rise in your homes in Jesus’ name.
“It is impossible to forget a child so he’ll always remain the second of my four adorable children. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty my sweet angel, Kambilichukwu, until we meet again”.
