The actor died on the 23rd of May 2022. His girlfriend Rosa Onious has shared her pain on social media, as well as the difficulty she finds in coming to terms with the loss of her husband.
On the anniversary of his passing, Rosa took to Instagram to share their memories as she reflected on a year without him.
Rosa said "time does not heal," she wrote," “Losing you has taught me to be brave, it made me realise the strength I never knew I had nor ever awarded myself. It taught me to love unconditionally, to treasure my loved ones. It taught me to be unconventional, it taught me to live life without anticipation, to broaden love, to work harder, it made me realise how vulnerable I am. It also taught me to keep moving no matter the circumstances. It taught me to live with this pain that resides in my heart immensely and to continue with my entity,” she wrote.
“Time does not heal, it does not, we be out here living our best lives with hearts filled with pain, we be out here smiling with hearts filled with pain, we be out here giving the best life advice with hearts filled with pain, we certainly be out here moving on with hearts filled with pain. We learn to live with pain, pain becomes part of our daily routines.”
Having made that promise to him, Rosa hopes to one day publish a book in his honor.
“You were a compelling force in my life. You would always ask me to take notes about you as a person, particularly during lockdown, you said ‘lover lips’ I hope you are writing all this down because one day I want you to write a book about me. I have not yet found the fortitude in me but soon I will write a book about you as you made me promise. There are just so many pleasing stories to go undisclosed. Jamie was always my biggest cheerleader as much as I was his,” she wrote.
She also wrote "Time is now 16;17 I finally found the courage to get out of bed and face the severity of the sadness that this day brings to my existence. Today marks exactly a year, 1 whole year since you departed from this earth and left us. Time was 18:15 which is the exact time I chose to post this. My heart is shattered all over again, today I’m filled with anxiety all over again. Depressed!!!
How did a year go by so fast? It still feels like yesterday. Jamie you are loved and missed dearly, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and your remarkable presence in my life. We mention and mimic you around the dinner table all the time. The house still feels so empty without your presence. I managed to rearrange the house to make it liveable, we have finally found the strength to display and hang all your achievements/ awards/ photographs etc in the dining room," she wrote.
