She said:

“Remarrying as a widow is one of the most difficult paths to walk. In the beginning, I told myself, No, I won’t marry again. I will focus on my daughter. I will do whatever it takes to make sure she has the best life. I had convinced myself that I could handle it all alone.

“But as a young widow, I realized that it is okay to remarry. It is okay to choose love again. Marriage itself is a journey, but marrying someone who supports you, who believes in your vision, and who honours the things you do—now, that is another level of faith. And for that, I am forever grateful to God.”

Her words:

“I know firsthand the pain of losing a husband at a young age. I became a widow barely eight months into marriage, seven months pregnant, and still a student. The grief, the sleepless nights, the confusion—it all felt overwhelming.
“But I refused to let my circumstances define me. I picked myself up, took care of my daughter, rebuilt my life, remarried and carried forward the legacy of the business of my late husband which he left behind.”
