Legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has disclosed that his late wife, Evelyn Ampaw, battled a serious illness before her passing.
He revealed that medical professionals diagnosed his late wife with lung cancer and pneumonia, but she chose not to inform him about her condition until she passed away.
The legal practitioner noticed that before her death, his wife began to distance herself from the family, including their twin children, which was out of character for her.
Maurice Ampaw suggested that his late wife's decision to keep her illness a secret from him likely worsened the fatal diseases that ultimately led to her death.
"She had lung cancer and pneumonia, which ultimately claimed her life. We were married for about 22 years. She kept her illnesses hidden from me, so I was unaware of her condition. She received the diagnosis at the hospital but chose not to share it with me. Perhaps she felt uncomfortable.
"Before her passing, she was very involved with our twin children, but as her health declined, she started to distance herself from them. Initially, she didn't want me to take the twins out, but that changed over time.
"I couldn't understand her behaviour until she passed away. When I visited her in the hospital, she avoided eye contact, remained silent, and eventually fell asleep," he shared in Twi on The Delay Show with Deloris Frimpong Manso.
Evelyn Ampaw passed away in February 2021.
Maurice Ampaw went on to explain that he remarried a year after his wife's death to a close friend whom he had known for many years.
