Reality TV star Ka3na Jones has opened up on the death of her husband, Mr. Jones and the struggles of being a single parent.
Naijaonpoint reports in a post on her Instagram page, the former Big Brother Naija housemate expressed the challenges of being a single parent, admitting that the pain, anxiety, and weight of responsibility have not eased with time.
Ka3na, who lost her husband in May 2023 after a battle with cancer, revealed that no one prepares you for the heartbreak of losing a spouse so early in life, especially while raising a child.
She reflected on how she never imagined herself parenting alone and described the daily emotional and physical toll it takes.
She wrote: “I don’t believe I can ever get used to being a single parent. This sh!t is hard. They say it gets easier with time… LIEEEEES! They only grow… The anxiety, the grief, the responsibility. The sacrifices!!!
“Trust me, nobody ever tells you, ‘Hey Katie, this amazing man you’re about to marry only has five more years to live, make every second count.’ Or, ‘Don’t rush into having kids… he’s going to die and leave you a widow and a single mother in your prime.
“Would I have done anything differently if I knew? Honestly, no. Because I can’t imagine my world right now without my baby girl. I miss Mr. Jones every passing day.
“But am I angry sometimes? Tired? Worn out? Yes. Do I wish someone would just look at me and say, ‘Katie, take a break… I got this’? Absolutely!!! I. Am. Tired.”
