I still ask my late mum for guidance- Adelle Onyango

Radio host Adelle was deeply hurt after losing her mother to cancer. Though it happened years ago, Adelle still reveals how the death affected her life.  She recently shared that she still talks to her everyday and asks her for guidance when going into something new or that might be a little challenging.

“I speak to my late mum everyday. I think about her even more than that. I ask her for signs I’m on the right track. I dream about her sometimes…not as often I’d like but it beats nothing,” she said. 

Anxiety

The death gave Adelle a new look into life and she confessed that she usually gets anxiety just by thinking that one day she’s going to lose another person she loves.

“Nothing can prepare you for the powerlessness that comes with losing someone to the permanence that’s death. The post trauma…I still get mild anxiety thinking one day I’ll lose the people I love and go through this all over again.If someone close to you has lost someone dear to them, please don’t tell them it’ll be OK. It won’t be OK. It will be different. And different can be quite uncomfortable.”
