Singer Niniola has penned an emotional message to family, friends and fans two months after the sudden passing of her husband, business manager and best friend, Michael.
In a touching post shared on social media, the music star revealed that she initially intended to record a video message but found herself unable to do so because of the overwhelming emotions.
“The interesting thing was that I wanted to make this post as a video recording, but as much as I tried, I could not get through the recording, so I’ll just share my thoughts here,” she wrote.
Reflecting on her loss, Niniola described the pain of losing her husband as one of the most difficult experiences of her life, admitting that nothing had prepared her for the reality of widowhood.
“Today makes it two months since my husband, business manager and best friend, Michael, was very suddenly and unexpectedly taken from me and truly, from us.”
“Even though I lost my dad at quite an early age, nothing ever prepared me for the reality of becoming a young widow. It has been hard. It has been exceedingly difficult.”
The singer opened up about the emotional rollercoaster she has faced in the last two months, saying some days are bearable while others are filled with indescribable pain.
“Some days are good; some days are just painfully indescribable. What do I do with myself? Where do I start from? So many things left undone and unsaid. So many emotions I am unable to put into words.”
Despite her grief, Niniola said her faith has remained a source of strength, noting that even in moments of doubt and unanswered questions, God has continued to show her love and comfort.
“Through it all, even in times that I had nothing but harsh words and questions that I asked Him and He didn’t immediately respond to me, God keeps finding ways to show me He has me in mind.”
The singer also expressed profound gratitude to everyone who has stood by her during the difficult period, including family, friends, fans, colleagues, media organisations and well-wishers.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to you all for your outpouring of love, your kind words, prayers, thoughtful messages and posts. I do not know how I will ever repay each and every one of you, but please know that I am truly and sincerely grateful.”
She concluded with a heartfelt prayer for those who have supported her.
“I pray that the Almighty God will reward you. You will not experience pain in whatever quantity.”
Niniola’s message has drawn an outpouring of sympathy online, with fans and colleagues continuing to offer prayers and words of comfort as she navigates life after the devastating loss.
