Life has not been easy for local producer Ted Josiah since he lost his wife Regina Katar.

Regina passed away on Saturday 30 September this year from internal bleeding which was caused by a blood disorder in which there were few platelets in her blood (commonly known as Thrombocytopenia).

"SHE DIED FROM A VERY RARE CONDITION, WHICH OCCURS AMONG FEW WOMEN ACROSS THE WORLD, BUT IT IS VERY RARE TO BE DETECTED AMONG AFRICAN WOMEN. HER BLOOD PLATELET COUNT FELL BELOW NORMAL AFTER CHILDBIRTH. REGINA’S PLATELETS. A COMPONENT OF BLOOD WHOSE FUNCTION IS TO STOP BLEEDING BY CLUMPING AND CLOTTING BLOOD VESSEL INJURIES. WERE SO DILUTED, LEADING TO A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED COUNT. SADLY, ALL THROUGH SHE HAD AN INTERNAL BLEEDING, WHICH HAD NOT BEEN DETECTED, NOR STOPPED, BECAUSE OF HER LOW PLATELET COUNT," Ted revealed. 

Josiah was left with a young baby to take care of and it seems he is enjoying fatherhood although he misses his wife, terribly.

The father of one has been documenting moments shared with his daughter every day on social media.

In one post he shared this photo and captioned;

My Jay Jay,

The kind of stuff your Mom would do to make our lives meaningful even when all we had was air to breath and nothing more was nothing short of amazing.

On my birthday i woke up to this image and i felt so much joy beyond words.

Your Mom made life worth living and days worth fighting through just so that i could get to the end of the day and hold both of you.

There will always be a MASSIVE GAP a VOID in my heart. I hope we can fill it with memories of her and a life well lived.

My angel, our Mommy please watch over us. Please.

Ted Josiah also shared another post asking God to give him the strength to nurture and protect his daughter. He was reminiscing about the moment they shared with the mother of his child.

"How I see myself...

A protector, a guard.

I Protected & guarded a Queen 👸🏽, she fell in love with me and made me her humble knight to love her and protect her & her little princess.

Then God in His infinite wisdom took is Angel, my Queen whom i served away.

Now my task as a humble protector is to take care of my Queens little princess until she is herself Queen.

Lord humbly help give strength to my spirit and my bones to protect, to nurture and to bring up our Princess.

My Queen, you are missed deeply.

Ps/ Jay sat today for the 1st time! She sat babe!!!!! Just like u used to sit & in the same spot."
