Boity Thulo, the South African rapper, recently took to Twitter to express her feelings about her grandpa’s passing. It has been almost a year since his death, but Boity admits that she has not yet fully dealt with the loss.
She shared that the 1st death anniversary will be taking place on Wednesday. In her tweet, Boity wrote, ‘On Wednesday, it will be a year since my grandpa passed on.
And I still have not even dealt with the passing. I’ve just ignored it because it makes no sense to me still. I have little to no emotion towards it because it’s not a part of my reality as yet. Weird.’

The rapper went on to explain why she feels this way. She said, ‘My grandpa’s passing was my first “first-hand” experience of a passing at home… as in seeing a casket in a home I grew up in.
The first funeral ko ntlung. Dunno if it makes sense. So yeah, just a strange disconnection that I can’t come to terms with as yet.’
Dealing with the death of a loved one can be a challenging and complex process. Everyone grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way to cope with loss. It is important to acknowledge and respect one’s own emotions and give oneself time to heal.
Boity’s experience of seeing a casket in her childhood home for the first time adds an extra layer of complexity to her grieving process.
It is not uncommon for such experiences to create a sense of disconnection and confusion. The unfamiliarity of the situation can make it difficult to process and accept the reality of the loss.
It is also worth noting that Boity’s feelings of detachment and lack of emotion towards her grandpa’s passing are valid. Grief can manifest in different ways, and not everyone experiences intense emotions immediately. It is a personal journey that unfolds at its own pace.
As Boity continues to navigate her grief, it is important for her to be patient and kind to herself. Healing takes time, and there is no rush to reach a state of acceptance. It may be helpful for her to seek support from loved ones or consider professional counseling to aid in her healing process.
Sharing her thoughts and emotions on social media can also be a cathartic experience for Boity. It allows her to express herself and connect with others who may have gone through similar experiences.
The support and understanding Boity Thulo receives from her followers can provide comfort and reassurance.
