In the caption, he expressed his deep grief and sorrow, declaring that it will never be well with him. He also referred to his late wife as a queen, stating that queens never die; they transition.

"Why do we say 'it's well'? Who coined that? It will never be well, not in my heart and never in my soul. The fight was good but no, she didn't finish the damn race; it was cut short by the evil hand of death. But trust Mercy to go the extra mile; yes, she kept the fire burning. Like the firebrand that she was, she kept the damn faith," Mwangi wrote.

He continued, "Even though she walked through the valley of the shadow of death, Mercy took no prisoners. When she had to call out, it reverberated. Queens like you never die; they transition to be angels."

Before her death, Mercy Mawia had posted a video of a dress she had bought specifically for attending gospel singer Fortune Mwikali's wedding.
