Some offered genuine condolences, with one fan saying, “My condolences. I can’t relate to this and frankly I don’t know words of consolation to give to you. Just try to hang in there, I believe with time the pain lessens. So sorry about your loss❤️.” Another added, “My sympathies, K. May God comfort all of you who knew & loved the person. 🙏🏼”
Other netizens suggested distractions, ranging from “Take some vodka and sleep it ALL off man. Trust me it helps 🙏🏽🫶 Take heart!!!” to “Something like playing games or hanging out with some people that won’t keep telling u sorry about your loss.” One person even cheekily offered, “Send me 100k and I will hype you. I feel that will distract you from the heart break.”
A few cautioned against forced distraction, advising, “Take heart bro and you don’t have to distract yourself, it’s okay to feel the pain of the loss. Distracting yourself won’t do any good. My condolences 💐”
And, of course, there were those who questioned the sincerity of the post, with one netizen commenting, “Picking up your phone and clearly typing all these with no type errors, choosing the perfect emojis, abbreviations and full stop. Bro’s just farming engagement, Nevertheless. RIP soul 🕯️🕊️”
Kiddwaya’s post and the subsequent reactions tell of the complex nature of grief and the varied ways people express and process it. Whether through shared experiences, practical advice, or simple condolences, the internet community offered a glimpse into the many areas of support during difficult times.
