Family, Faith, Loss, and Love: A Journey with Grandma

우리 시어머니와 함께|The One with Deaconess Esther Adedipe: Episode 4 (2024)

“Anyway, both of us were okay, and all the children were doing fine. We found happiness again after going through distress and depression. Hope was gradually returning, and we became happier as a family. However, when he passed away, it was like a part of me died too. We had been together for over 50 years, and he was not just my husband but also my closest companion. Losing him plunged me into depression, and it’s been hard to cope without him. He was the love of my life, and I never had any other relationships before him.” — Grandma (2024)

Dear Mosiblings,

In this episode of The More Sibyl Podcast, we welcome a special guest, my mother-in-law, fondly known as Grandma or Deaconess Esther Adedipe. She unveils her upbringing: born in 1946 to a deeply religious family, guided by her father, who was a minister at an Anglican Church in Nigeria.
