In commemoration of International Widows’ Day on Tuesday, Kayise shared a love letter to her late husband through her new YouTube channel After Dark with Kayise.

The actress lost her husband in a car accident on June 22 last year.

In the love letter, Kayise went down memory lane to a time when she first met Farai at a Pizza restaurant in March 2015, to Valentine’s Day of 2018, when he asked for her hand in marriage, telling her he would like to send his uncles to her home for lobola negotiations.

She also recalled the time she found out she was pregnant and how ecstatic they were that they’d be having a son.

During the emotional episode, Kayise began to lift the lid on the tragic car accident that left both her and her late husband in critical conditions.

With tears in her eyes, Kayise explained how she fell asleep due to the hectic week she had and recalls waking up to the sound of sirens. “It felt like I was in a dream … I remember feeling so out of touch, it was almost like a bad nightmare …”

After falling unconscious again, Kayise remembers waking up in casualty with her husband by her side.

“There was commotion, the doctors, paramedics and anyone who needed to be there to attend to us, it was then that I asked, ‘Where are we and what’s happened?’ I was then informed by the doctors we’d been in a car accident and that we were quite injured …

“But I looked to my right, my husband was hysterical, fighting off anyone who touched him … he didn’t want to be touched and attended to, he kept screaming my name … I then told him we’re going to be OK.”

After being informed that her husband wasn’t doing well, Kayise revealed how she couldn’t understand why he couldn’t wake up. “I asked him and begged him to wake up … I needed to hear him talk.”

After hearing the news that her husband had passed away, Kayise explained that all she wanted to do was to breathe life into him.

We lost Akhumzi at the worst time of my life.”

Zizo touched on some of the suicidal thoughts she had.

“For about eight months every day, I would get in my car and on my way to wherever I would be working from on that day, I would wonder what would happen if I accelerated my car straight into that car or that tree or that building… anything that was stationery in front of me. Every single day I would wonder,” Zizo said.

Zizo went on to explain that Khaya’s sermon at Akhumzi’s memorial service and Ntokozo’s performance gave her hope and helped her to hold on when she felt like life was not worth living anymore.

“Khaya Mthethwa and Ntokozo Mbambo you will always be connected to anything I ever go on to achieve because God used you both to save my life. Thank you for your obedience! I love you!” she wrote in her caption.

There are so many amazing organizations that exist to help us deal with a number of the issues that we have in our lives. Please ask for help!
