May Edochie, the lovely “first” wife to the Nigerian actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has broken the silence four months after losing her child and 16-year-old son Kambilichukwu Edochie.
Master Kambilichukwu was reported dead on Thursday, March 30 in school while playing ball with his schoolmate. Kambili developed a seizure on the field of play and before he could make it to the hospital, he gave up the ghost.
Yul and May’s son’s death came months after Yul shamelessly announced welcoming a child, a son Star Dike Edochie with another woman, an actress named Judy Austin Muoghalu.
Taking to her Instagram page today, Saturday, July 8, barely four months after Kambili’s death, May penned an emotional eulogy to her late son expressing the pain of missing him. She noted that there’s no death as intense and painful as that of losing one’s child.
May attached a photograph which has herself and her three surviving children. Her message reads below;
“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 loose a husband, you are called a widow…..
You loose a wife, a widower….
You loose a father, fatherless….
You loose a mother, motherless…
You loose both parents, an orphan…
You loose a sibling, “forgotten mourner”….
Other than vilomah which means “against a natural order”, I cannot find an English word for loosing a child. I do not think there’s any death as intense and painful as loosing 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.
“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 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 bossom of the Almighty my sweet angel, Kambilnachukwu, until we meet again.”
