##Nigerian social media personality and relationship therapist, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has received an outpouring of sympathy following an emotional tribute to her late nine-year-old son, Bryan.

The influencer took to her Instagram page on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to express herself since losing her child. Her heartfelt words touched many social media users, with several people offering condolences and prayers for strength during what is undoubtedly a difficult period for her and her family.

In her emotional post, Blessing revealed that she was still struggling to accept her son's death. She also remembered some of the promises she had made to him, including buying him an iPad and a bicycle.

I will keep living in denial, I miss you, bought the iPad I promised you, and also the bicycle, she wrote.

She further expressed sadness over the thought that her son would no longer be waiting for her to return home. The memory of the things they could have shared appeared to make the loss even more painful.

Blessing described Bryan as a selfless, kind, outspoken, bold and intelligent child. She also expressed her belief that he was in heaven and promised to carry his memories wherever life takes her.

I miss you my baby, I will never recover from this shock, she added in the tribute.

Her post quickly attracted attention, with social media users expressing sympathy and sending messages of comfort. Some commenters described the loss as heartbreaking, while others prayed that God would give her the strength to cope with the pain.

One social media user expressed that no parent should have to experience the pain of losing a child, while another offered prayers for comfort and strength. These reactions showed how deeply the news had affected people who followed her story.

The tribute also came after Blessing spoke about her son's death in an emotional interview following her release from custody. According to Punch, she recalled learning about his condition while she was away and said the news took away the happiness she might otherwise have felt after her release.

Her public expressions of grief have drawn attention to a deeply personal loss. However, beyond the social media discussions, it is important to remember that this is a family dealing with the death of a child.

Stories involving death, especially the loss of a child, require extra care from journalists, bloggers and social media users. Although public figures share parts of their lives online, that does not mean every detail of their private experiences should become an opportunity for criticism or entertainment.

Writers should rely on verified information, use only statements the person has made publicly and avoid adding rumours, assumptions or unconfirmed details. Headlines should also communicate the news without exaggerating the pain or turning someone's tragedy into clickbait.

Most importantly, sympathy should come before judgment. People may have different opinions about a public figure, but personal disagreements should not take away the need to show compassion during a painful experience.

For Blessing CEO, her tribute was not simply another social media post. It was a mother's emotional attempt to remember her child and express a pain she says she may never recover from.

As messages of sympathy continue to reach her, many will hope that she and her family find the strength and comfort they need during this difficult time.

May Bryan rest in peace.
