The grieving mother then went on to reflect on the unique pain and sorrow that comes with losing a child.

She credited her friends and family for being a great source of strength and support, guiding her through the grieving process in truly amazing ways. Moreover, she expressed gratitude towards the brands she represents, highlighting their kindness and patience.
May admitted that life had initially left her feeling resigned and overwhelmed, but the unwavering support of her amazing fans helped her find meaning and hope again. She described this love as a manifestation of God’s grace, a wondrous and serendipitous blessing that she deeply appreciates.
