What Tonto Dikeh said to grieving individuals during Christmas

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has spoken about dealing with pain and grief during the festive period, offering comforting words to such individuals.

The actress on her X handle, prayed for strength and peace for grieving individuals, stressing the need to find hope and peace in the memories they shared with the departed.

“To you whose heart feels heavier this Christmas, This season may look bright on the outside, yet feel painfully quiet within. The empty chair, the missing laughter, the memories that come rushing back . they are real, and so is your grief. Love does not disappear when someone is gone; it lingers in every memory, every tradition, every moment you wish you could share again. Please know that it is okay to miss them. It is okay to cry. You are not weak for feeling this way. You are human, and you loved deeply,” she stated.

Tonto also prayed for God’s comfort and warmth, stating that the memories shared could serve as a source of warmth rather than that of pain and grief.

“May God hold you especially close in this season and comfort you in ways words cannot. Wrap you in His peace, and remind you that you are not alone, even in your quiet moments. May the memories you shared become a source of gentle warmth rather than pain, and may hope slowly find its way back into your heart. We pray for strength for the days that feel long, rest for the nights that feel heavy, and light for the moments that feel dark. May God’s presence be your refuge, and may His love carry you through this season and beyond. You are seen. You are held. And your loved one will never be forgotten. With love, prayers, and compassion,” she added.
