Sheryfa Luna, mother of two, first became known in 2007 thanks to Pop stars. At 19, she experienced an upheaval when she learned, after a denial of pregnancy, that she was expecting her first child, Venus Junior. This surprise, which she recounts in her book You were already there my son, but…did not prevent her from taking her role as mother to heart. In 2015, she expanded her family by giving birth to Ibrahim, her second son. In 2024, the singer learned some very good news. “In 2024, I had the immense joy of learning that I was going to become a mother for the third time. A little boy, Khalil. A pregnancy lived in a bubble of love, like a treasure that I wanted to protect.” The singer dreamed of the moment when she could share the big news with her subscribers. “I dreamed of the day when I could tell you: ‘Thanks to God, I had my third child.’” Unfortunately, this happiness turned into a difficult memory.
“My son had already left“: Sheryfa Luna opens up about the death of her son who died at birth
On November 17, 2024, Sheryfa Luna gave birth to Khalil, but in great silence. “That day, I discovered a pain that no words can truly describe: giving life and having to say goodbye in the same moment (…) No cry, no breath. My son had already left.” Sheryfa Luna memorized every moment of her delivery: “I held him close, memorizing every detail of him in my heart. Her face so peaceful, her little hands so perfect. This moment, filled with love, was also a goodbye.” A few days later, Sheryfa Luna must face an even more terrible ordeal, saying goodbye to her son for good. “I had to accompany Khalil to his final resting place, an act so heartbreaking that no mother should have to experience it. Since that day, every moment has been a battle.”
“I am no longer who I was“: Sheryfa Luna in mourning after the loss of her stillborn son
Sheryfa Luna found the strength to continue, and to believe that her son had a greater mission: “Khalil existed. He marked my life and transformed my soul forever. I am no longer who I was before him. He taught me strength in fragility, love in absence, and the beauty of a bond that transcends time.” The singer begins the year 2025 with a heart filled with pain but also with hope: “I begin this new year with a heart that wavers between pain and hope. But I cling to my faith and to the idea that Khalil had a mission much greater than I can understand today. Even if his stay was brief, he left an indelible mark on me..” She sends a message of hope to her community: “To everyone going through invisible, silent trials, I want to say that you are not alone. Each pain we carry makes us a different version of ourselves, deeper, more conscious. Khalil, my son, my angel. You left too soon, but as long as I live, you will live in me.”
