His son, Dr. David died at the age of 31 on Easter Friday in the United States of America.
Last Sunday, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, shared his thoughts for the first time after the death of his son at a sermon.
The bishop titled his sermon, ‘The grave is not the end’, and described the death of his son as a situation that makes “everything” meaningless.
“My son David just passed away. It spoils everything. You ask me am I sad? If you had a son who died, will you be sad? You should ask yourself that question. It spoils everything. It brings a funny environment and it makes nonsense of everything. We always try to wish it further and further away but that is how it is.”
David, was a Research Physician at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Galveston.
For close to two years, David was a resident physician at Prisma Health, Columbia in the U.S.
