May Other Women Find the Courage to Choose Life: Mourning My Childhood Friend Lost to Domestic Violence
I lost my childhood friend Omerebere Faith Okafor to domestic violence. She married at 17 and died at 26. Since I heard of her passing, it has been hard to accept that she is gone. Faith was more than a victim; she was my friend, my sister, and a beautiful soul. Childhood was full of laughter with you. No woman should die trying to save a marriage that isn’t worth the pain. I share her story so that other young women may find the courage to speak up, seek help, or walk away before it’s too late. Your life matters more than reputation, religion, or what people will say. Through Faith’s memory, may every woman choose life. Rest well, Mrs. Omerebere Faith Okafor—your voice and memories will never be forgotten.
