Despite it being a year since his demise, Kambili’s absence continues to be felt and his aunt, Rita Edochie eulogised him on social media.
Taking to her Instagram page, the actress penned down a lengthy note to explain the void Kambili’s death left in their lives.
She wrote in part:
“I REALLY DON’T WANT TO DO THIS, BUT I CAN’T HOLD IT.
TODAY MARCH THE 29TH, MARKS ONE YEAR KAMBILI DEPARTED FROM THIS CRUEL WORLD, LEAVING BEHIND A TRAIL OF MEMORIES AND UNFULFILLED DREAMS.
THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN I ALLOW MYSELF TO ENTERTAIN THE FLEETING HOPE THAT HE MIGHT RETURN, AS IF HIS ABSENCE IS JUST A TEMPORARY SEPARATION. BUT AS THE DAYS TURNED INTO WEEKS, AND THE WEEKS INTO MONTHS, THE HARSH REALITY SETS IN THAT KAMBILI IS GONE FOREVER. HIS SOUL NOW RESTS IN THE EMBRACE OF THE ALMIGHTY, FAR BEYOND OUR REACH.”
Not stopping there, Rita Edochie also sympathised with Kambili’s mother, May, and encouraged her to remain strong. She wrote:
“MY DEAR DAUGHTER QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE, I KNOW THE BURDEN YOU CARRY IS UNBEARABLE, THE PAIN, THE ANGUISH, THE RELENTLESS ACHE OF MISSING HIM, IT IS A BURDEN NO PARENT SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BEAR. BUT THROUGH IT ALL, I URGE YOU TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD, TO KEEP PUSHING THROUGH THE DARKNESS THAT THREATENS TO ENGULF US. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE DEPTH OF YOUR EMOTIONAL TURMOIL, THE WAVES OF GRIEF THAT THREATEN TO DROWN YOU AT EVERY TURN. BUT REMEMBER MY DARLING, GOD’S LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS.
DEAR QUEEN MAY, AS I SIT HERE, MY HEART ACHES WITH THE WEIGHT OF A YEAR PASSED WITHOUT OUR BELOVED KAMBILI. THE EMPTINESS LEFT IN HIS ABSENCE FEELS LIKE A CHASM THAT STRETCHES INTO ETERNITY, A VOID THAT NO AMOUNT OF TIME CAN EVER FILL .”
