@temi_atelier_ commented:
"Nothing can make sense to her now or in the next coming years. They seemed like each other's safe place, especially with the way her husband praised her in his interviews too. How do you go from having the best partner to grieving the same person? How do you accept such a reality when you practically do life together? This woman stood by him, and it's her time to enjoy his big wins. Death won. Oluwa joor. Let no man or woman labour in vain. God, please comfort her, be her guide and companion."
