Ruth Matete has opened up on how a past therapy session helped her handle the death of her husband, Beloved John Apewejoye.
John passed away after being hospitalized for two weeks after a gas cylinder accident at their home.
At the time Ruth was a few weeks pregnant.
Speaking during an interview on Kalekye Health Moments, the mother of one shared, “I was so scared and I did not even know how I was gonna make it. 1 year before we got married I had suffered depression and I had gone for counselling.
Adding, “When the death happened I used everything I had been taught during my visit to the counsellor when I was battling depression.
But I also had counsellor friends wh really walked with me. So I cannot say a specific counsellor helped me out. Friends showed me support, financially and morally.”

Ruth also talked about battling depression due to unsolved issues starting from her childhood.
“A few months before we got married, I had suffered depression and so I had been in counselling and when this accident happened and he was gone, I used what I had learnt from the counsellors.”
Ruth explained, “I also had friends who were counsellors and they walked with me. They came through. I didn’t know I was depressed but I used to feel so low and I used to cry so much. I had so much in my mind that I didn’t know how to deal with it.”
She continued, “For example, I didn’t have such a good childhood life. I was told that the depression came from my past that I had not dealt with yet. Like, my mum and my dad never got married, she got married to another man and so when I was there,love wasn’t so good. Also, got raped by a stranger. I was dying silently.”
