Rachel's Plans for the Future
Otuoma died on Rachel's birthday, December 21.
In the live episode of TikTok filled with emotion, Rachel shared her next steps, revealing her plans to stay busy and move forward with life.
“I want to stay busy, I can't stay here alone. If I sit quietly, I cry a lot and that hurts me. I need to get back to work. I will shave my hair and start over. There is also a vacation that a company has given us, and we will be going soon. I just want to move forward, not sit idle because those thoughts will kill me. I need to be busy. I plan to find a job and soon I will move to this house,” he said in the video.
As she continued to speak, the widow was visibly emotional, recalling the sweet memories she shared with her husband.
“But this widow's name that is Otuoma has given me this early, surely?” he asked with emotion clearly visible on his face.
Why did Ezekiel Otuoma die?
Rachel's life changed dramatically when she lost her husband, who was battling Alzheimer's disease (ALS).
Otuoma was a former soccer player in Kenya, playing for some big clubs like Western Stima and Ulinzi Stars among others.
He was officially laid to rest on January 11 in Siaya County, where Rachel was accompanied by friends who paid him the last respects he deserved.
