Simz dealt with her husband's death with grace and dignity. Not many people knew she had hit rock bottom. But she remained brave and kept pushing through her pain.
Simz has been through a very hard time as he grief over the love of her life has been very public. It couldn't have been easy. There's a reason why Simz is seen as one of the bravest young women in the entertainment industry - she's dealt with her loss with dignity.
TimesLIVE reported on how Simz opened up on social media how she was affected after Dumi's death, but also said that she is becoming a new person.
What most people don’t get is that when I lost my husband, I hit rock bottom. For me, at least, that was my rock bottom. I completely lost who I was and that was painful. I was a person that believed in a happily ever after and I believed that, that happily ever after would be given to me by Dumi.
Now I’m a person that still believes in a happily ever after, but I believe that you create your own happily ever after.

She bravely decided to take off her wedding ring
Simz managed to get social media users teary with a beautiful message she wrote on her Instagram account. By then it had been almost a year since her hubby passed away and the beautiful actress explained she felt it was time to move on and take the big step of removing her wedding ring.
We have a love-hate relationship, sometimes I look at you and I smile. Sometimes I look at you and my heart bleeds. It’s almost time to let you go and the thought of living without you makes me anxious but holding on to you is more painful. I promise to keep you safe and to one day give you to the woman who will be Kgosi’s heartkeeper. I will love you, forever and always.
