"'Divine has not yet come to terms with the death of his elder brother, Praise. Sometimes I hear her cries at night and I understand she is also mourning," the mother narrated during an interview with NTV Mwasuze Mutya.
Praise, who could not be treated in time, succumbed to sickle cell a while back, as his mother disclosed.
She also shared a WhatsApp status her daughter posted as she remembers her beloved sibling.
Life is hard
"Remember the moments we shared? But who knew it was the last time we spent together? I miss you so much. Mum keeps crying for you. I wish we could see you just once again, just once again.
Life is hard without you. Happy birthday, Praise, we love you so much."
Losing her dear boy took a toll on Hiirya, who grieved for as long as she could remember, despite leaving everything in God's hand.
I cried a lot
She painfully recalled how her heart was shattered after getting the saddening news from her brother-in-law.
"My song of praise had gone silent. The first thought that came to my mind is how do I break the news to Divine, the younger sister who was a sickler too? I was worried she was going to get an attack. When I cried a lot, she asked me to be strong for her because Praise had been her and my rock. I told her Praise had run his race, and we should be grateful it ended," she stated.
She observed that her "daughter, Divine, cried like an old person" after receiving the heartbreaking news.
