Music producer Teddd Josiah has opened up on his last moments with late wife Regina Katar.

In a post on his page on her anniversary, Josiah shared a detailed account of what transpired on that fateful day in October 2017 shortly before she passed away.

According to Josiah Katar was cheery and full of life. In the evening she made dinner for the family, and later on, after dinner, they relaxed to watch a movie as a family.

However, at around 3 am she started complaining of a severe headache but the situation got worse and was rushed to the hospital.

“Friday 7:30 pm dinner at home with mama and Jay Jay she’d cooked rice and chicken and was happy beyond words. Then a movie, as Jay Jay slept between us on the couch. After the film, we went to bed and she’d talked right through the movie! 3 am as she breastfed she complained that heat head hurt, took meds and threw them up. So we dashed to hospital and she fell asleep and never woke up again,” said Josiah.

He added that  news she had passed hit him immediately. He was confused and unaware on how to react.

“5 am Jay Jay and I sat in my car confused lost and alone. She’d just gone like that. No child should ever be without a mother! No child! My friend u were magic, rest cause every Friday it plays back in my head…But broken crayons still paint so I will paint,” added the producer.

However, in the midst of the confusion and pain, and even though times proved difficult, he has learnt to cope one day at a time.

“What is grief like? Well it’s like the waves of an ocean sometimes they are high sometimes low but you’re guaranteed they will hit. What causes them? Memories, jolts of confusion, uncertainty and moments of self-doubt all play roles in this. How long does it take to heal? U don’t heal u just learn to walk with the limp,” stated Josiah.
