He wished her a good day and blessed her. Later that day, everything changed dramatically.

After reading the news, she received a call about her husband. “He had passed out,” they told her. She asked them to take him to the hospital.

In her grief, Maame Yaa found comfort in scripture. A passage from Isaiah 57:1–2 provided solace during this difficult time.

“That’s the verse I wrote in my heart for him,” she said.
