Cape Town — Lynn Forbes, the mother of former rapper, Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes, has revealed words of wisdom that has carried her through a very difficult time of her life.
Lynn’s world was turned upside down after AKA was tragically gunned down outside Wish Restaurant on Florida Road in Durban on 10 February 2023. Since his death, Lynn has become an inspiration to many for the way she has carried herself over the years.
She started a podcast with a friend of hers to discuss many trials and tribulations that she’s faced since Kiernan’s death and has often shared words of wisdom with her followers.
In one of her recent Instagram posts, she shared an image of herself sitting on top of her son’s grave with a big beautiful smile. In her message, she shared the “Gift of Grace” with her followers to offer grace to all those around us.
“This Christmas, I want to share something deeply personal and meaningful; The Gift of Grace. In the midst of grief, I have learned that grace is not just for others; it’s a gift we must offer ourselves too. It’s about choosing to let go of pain, to forgive where we have been wronged, and to heal in a way that honours both ourselves and others,” she wrote.
“When we come to accept that the behaviour of others have more to do with their internal struggles than us, we learn grace. This season, I invite you to extend grace, especially when it’s hardest to do so. Even in grief or struggle, joy lives in life’s simple blessings; a smile, laughter, or the warmth of the sun. What brought you joy today? Share your moments and let’s celebrate life’s light together,” she concluded.
