"My aunt lost her husband 2 weeks ago & a week after his burial, she also passed away. Her heart was broken and the reality of him no longer being here was too much for her to come to terms with. Itβs a difficult time for everyone at the moment, in one way or another. Be kind," she wrote on Twitter.

While fighting it, I'm also hurting that I couldn't bid farewell to my father or even arrange his funeral arrangement as his firstborn. I didn't have a choice but to protect everyone.
