According to her, the repeated losses have become overwhelming, prompting her to call on God to put an end to untimely deaths.

In her message, she wrote:

“Oh Lord, the amount of Rest In Peace we have typed this year is enough. God, please put a stop to untimely deaths. May we live long. Amen.”

Her prayer reflects the feelings of many colleagues who have also spoken out while mourning friends and coworkers in the industry.
