Gone but her love still remains
It's been three days now since the loss of someone close to me—someone I see as my second mother. The pain is still there, but we know it doesn't mean we can bring her back.
Her situation first started as breast cancer. Her husband, Daddy Jegede, proceeded with the operation at Lagos State Teaching Hospital where her breast was removed. But unfortunately, the cancer had spread to other regions. We, as her children in Christ, were always told she would be fine, and so we believed it until we heard that she had gone to rest.
It is so painful, remembering the kindness she has shown to us, irrespective of where we came from. She never failed to do her part as a mother and a friend. I remember the gifts I received from her, and the loving advice that made me stronger.
Right now, it hurts that she is gone. But we know that her legacy still lives on in us. May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
Dear friend,
My heartfelt condolences to you and the family. It's hard to say goodbye especially if it's to someone close to us, but how fortunate you were to know her and to receive her love and advice.
it sounds to me she was very strong since the cancer already spread and the help she received was at a late stage.
I believe that "gone to rest" is what she deserved. It's not about the length of years we live, but the quality, what we did and how we were able to move others.
I send you a warm hug.
Thank you for your kind words. It's just so hard to accept that she's really gone. I'm going to miss her terribly, and I know everyone else feels the same.
