Former Big Brother Naija housemate Ka3na Jones has opened up about the challenges of being a single mother after losing her husband early in life.
In an emotional Instagram post, Ka3na shared her struggles with anxiety, grief, and the weight of solo parenting, contradicting the common notion that things get easier with time.
She expressed feelings of anger, exhaustion, and frustration, often wishing for someone to share the burden.
Ka3na said despite the challenges, she cherishes her daughter and wouldn’t change a thing, even if she knew her husband’s time was limited.
She wrote: “I don’t believe I can even get used to being a single parent. This shit is hard.
“They say it gets easier with time. Lies!
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”.
