Reactions as Ifunanya Nwangene passes away
blessing shared:
"Ifunanya was such a sweetheart. It's so sad to believe this. We received our first Holy Communion together. We were in Block Rosary crusade and Legion of Mary. It's well. God knows everything. May God grant her eternal rest. May Our Lady of Fatima lead her soul to heaven. Rest well Ifunanya Nwangene."
Treasure noted:
"May be this girl is an ogbanje water girl no insult 🙏🏼. just talking from experience because I have a brother like that he got married to one fine girl like that .when U see beauty U will understand the real meaning of beauty. But unfortunately she die immediately after birth. So when they go to look into her death. They now find out that she is from water they further explain to them that ogbanje girls are on mission that they are not meant to last long on earth. So most times merrying a beautiful girl is at owner risk."

To understand how the little girl might have felt after learning about the death of Ifunanya, Legit.ng spoke with a therapist, Mr Ogwuche Godwin, who is also a counselor and director of GoRu Academy.
On how children process the death of someone they know, he had this to say:
"Children don’t understand death the same way adults do. When they lose someone they care about, they often feel confusion, sadness, and sometimes even fear. They don’t have the emotional vocabulary or life experience to make sense of loss, so they may internalize it, feeling it physically in their chest or stomach."
"For a child, emotional closeness is simple and pure. If they loved or admired someone, that connection matters deeply to them. When that person dies, it can feel like a sudden hole in their world, because they don’t yet grasp that death is permanent."
Mr Ogwuche gave tips on what parents need to do or how to react when a child is confused about the death of someone they know.
He explained:
"Parents should respond with honesty, calm, and empathy. Tell the child the truth in simple language they can understand, something like, “She has died, and that means we won’t see her again here, but we can remember her in our hearts.”"
"It’s also okay to say, “I don’t have all the answers, but I’m here with you.” That reassurance, that you are not alone in this feeling, is more comforting to a child than any perfect explanation."
"Encourage them to talk about their feelings, ask questions, and express their sadness. Hug them, listen, and be patient. Children feel safer when their parents match emotional honesty with comfort."
"Grief in children may look simple, but it is deep, and when handled with love and clarity, it helps them grow emotionally stronger, not afraid of feelings."
