Simz Ngema has opened up about how she has been coping with the death of her ex-husband, Dumi Masilela. The late actor and musician’s passing in 2017 was a significant loss, and Simz has since been candid about her journey through grief and healing.
In recent discussions, Simz shared her experiences and the emotional challenges she faced after Dumi’s tragic death. She talked about the importance of support from family and friends, as well as the personal strength she had to muster to navigate such a difficult period in her life.
Simz also highlighted how she has found ways to honor Dumi’s memory while moving forward with her own life. Her story resonates with many who have experienced similar losses, and her openness offers comfort and inspiration to those going through their own grieving processes.“I do what she’s doing. Cry, text him, watch videos. It’s not something that goes away. You just learn to live with it. Days are different, some days you cry like it happened yesterday and Special days are hard (birthdays, anniversaries) 7 years later and it still hurts.”
“Honestly, it’s not easy. I try and keep my grief and love separately in order to respect him. Although he’s said I can talk to him about it, I don’t. It’s not fair on him. I’d rather speak to my family about it. I have to respect my new life and give it my all.”
“Whether I like it or not, the loss I experienced is in the past and what I’m trying to build is my future. It was a tough pill to swallow but I pray and keep it moving. Life carries on with or without you. I’ve chosen to live and not be drowned by sorrow and pain. The pain will always be there. It shouldn’t stop you from living,” she added.
