Simphiwe Ngema talks about the healing process after losing husband
Simphiwe Ngema stripped herself naked emotionally, when her husband, Dumi Masilela died.
She spoke about her healing process in a recent interview on Afternoon Express.
“I have lived this journey with everybody watching. I felt like I was literally stripped naked, emotionally, in front of the whole country. For me, I just had to live my truth and that is how I am healing,” she said.
Simphiwe adopted her own way of grieving and did not care about people’s opinions.
“It’s basically understanding that grief is my journey, I don’t care who says what, if I feel like I need to run around naked and that’s gonna make me feel better then that’s what I’m gonna do I don’t care who’s gonna judge me, I’m gonna do what I’m comfortable with and that’s what matters…”
Acting has also played a big role in saving Simphiwe’s life, as it gave her hope.
“Acting saved my life. I was at a point where I felt like, ‘what do I live for?’ It reminded me of what I am passionate about. It reminded me that the one thing I am passionate about gave me a reason to live… my passion saved my life.”
