GOSPEL diva Fungisai Zvakavapano yesterday revisited one of her closest sisters’ death with an emotional message.
In the post, the diva said her sister’s death taught her that it’s never about people’s will, but the bigger picture in God’s mind.
“Then God chose her, I believe she was the most hardworking of us all who worked for her children’s comfort.
“I had travelled to Victoria Falls on a family holiday. As soon as we arrived, we received a call that she was seriously ill.
“We immediately packed our bags only to find her lying lifeless on an Avenues Clinic bed.
“She had a breather in her mouth and she was turning grey,” reads the post.
Fungisai said they had saved the baby, but they said the high blood pressure had hit her brain stem and as a result, her body system was shutting down organ by organ.
“I was hopeful and raised all my faith and was banking on the whole family’s faith and intercession too.
“There was no way the good Lord was going to let her go achisiya mucheche wake in an incubator like that, so I thought.
“I even whispered holding her hand kuti wherever you are, fight for your life and get back to your children, you can do it.
“But then as I passed by the nurses’ counter, I eavesdropped a nurse’s conversation explaining ‘kuti musikana akafa uyo isister yaFungisai’.
“She said that is when reality struck her. She was gone for good, never to walk again on the earth’s surface.”
Fungisai said she was devastated during the funeral wake.
“I was so bitter that I couldn’t even release a tear throughout the funeral proceedings.
“I remember as we were receiving the official news of her death, there were people celebrating waist adjustment miracles. I hated all the miracle professing ministers. How come no one could wake my sister up to be with her child?”
She said grief can make someone to question the existence of God.
“He has plans that are good for everyone. Tafadzwa was beginning Form 1 at a boarding school the following week and we took it one day at a time.
“My sister didn’t survive to see what an intelligent young lady she has grown into, how she excelled and brought home 20 A-Level points in sciences and how she is settling in an Articles Firm today.”
She said God is the protector.
“I looked at my sister’s baby and her siblings and a couple of songs came to my heart as an expression of my grief and pain of the loss.
“I have called that set of songs ‘The social Facts’ album.
“Dzimwe nguva munogona kusanzwisisa kuti ndirikuimbei, but I do have a human side rinotoridza mhere when the need arises.
“As we remember your untimely departure from us today, rest in power my sister,” she said.
