Gospel singer Ruth Matete has opened up on dealing with grief months after her husband died due to sustained injuries from a gas accident at home.
Through an Instagram post, the singer narrated that grief was not an easy thing to deal with as some days are completely hard.
She further indicated that she sometimes gets conflicted about taking too long mourning about her late husband while at the same time she thinks she is being hard on herself.
“Truth is some days are very hard. When death knocks at your door, there’s nothing you can do. Some days, voices in my head tell me am taking too long in this mourning phase. But I have made up my mind not to be hard on myself,” she wrote.
