Some pains do not go away easy. The loss of a loved one is one example. It’s severe agony that demands more than treatment to alleviate. The memory hunts so fiercely that no one wants even his or her adversary to go through such a period in life.
However, life is strange. Life has its own rhythm, right? Despite our best efforts, we cannot predict or control it. Those unexpected twists and turns might be difficult, but they are part of the trip.
Here’s a list of Nigerian celebrities who have lost their only child:
