Friends mourn as 25-year-old lady dies seven months after wedding

Friends and family members of a 25-year-old lady, Endurance Gunat, have been mourning the sudden death of the Plateau lady seven months after her wedding.

The lady, who reportedly got married on December 9, 2023, died on Sunday, July 6, 2024.

Circumstances surrounding the death of the lady born on March 21, 1999, were not clear as of the time of filing this report.

She is billed to be buried on Friday, July 12 at the family burial ground, Tangur, Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State after a burial service at COCIN Central Church, Bokkos.

Friends and family members of the deceased and her husband have taken to social media to mourn her.

A Facebook user, Fuki Christian Daniel, described the deceased as the wife of his friend, Gunat Japhet.

Daniel expressed his disbelief at the sudden death, stating, “It’s just like I’m dreaming. My friend’s wife is gone.”

Daniel mentioned that Gunat Japhet’s wedding took place on December 9, barely two weeks after his wedding at the same church.

The Facebook user further conveyed his deep sorrow over the incident, reflecting on the fragility of life.

“I feel very sad. On a daily basis, a targeted age of young people keep going,” Daniel wrote as he expressed concern over what appears to be a pattern of premature deaths among the younger generation.

In his condolence message, Daniel turned to faith for solace, saying, “God, teach us to number our days as death is inevitable and a snitch. Rest in peace, dear. It is well when Jesus is involved.”

The deceased’s husband, Japhet, in announcing her death on Facebook three days ago, simply wrote, “What a Black Sunday!”

The post had attracted 420 condolence messages as of Thursday afternoon.

On Wednesday, he posted the burial arrangements of the deceased.

That post had also attracted 384 condolence messages as of the time of filing this report.
