It is a terrible ordeal experienced by Sheryfa Luna. This Thursday, January 2, the 35-year-old singer announced in a publication shared on her Instagram account the death of her third child, Khalil, who died at birth last November: “This year 2025 begins for me with a heavy heart, in search of healing. There are trials that nothing can prepare for, trials that turn everything upside down and transform us forever“, writes the artist, before saying more about the circumstances of the tragedy. “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. I dreamed of the day when I could tell you: “Thank God, I had my third child. » And this truth is indisputable: I am a mother of three children. But life, sometimes, confronts us with the unthinkable. On November 17, I gave birth to Khalil in chilling silence. No cry, no breath. My son had already left. That day, I discovered a pain that no words can truly describe: giving life and having to say goodbye in the same moment.“

“I held him close, memorizing every detail of him in my heart“, continues Sheryfa Luna, before declaring all her love for her third child. “Her face so peaceful, her little hands so perfect. This moment, filled with love, was also a goodbye. A few days later, I had to accompany Khalil to his final resting place, an act so heartbreaking that no mother should have to experience it.“

In the rest of her message, Sheryfa Luna explains that she was bruised to the depths of her being and that she will never be the same again: “Since that day, every moment has been a battle. 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. 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. 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.“
