"Time is a great revealer of things. Time will reveal, the truth will prevail, but karma is not a real thing; it does not exist."

Briefly News spoke with relationship expert and psychologist Penny Holburn to explore how someone can navigate in-law conflicts after losing a spouse while maintaining their emotional well-being. She said:

"The loss of a spouse means the surviving spouse needs time to grieve. Conflicts started during this time will be awful for the grieving spouse. Not only have they lost their loved one, which is painful, but now other family members want to start arguments with them. If you can try and postpone the conflict until you have had some time to grieve.
Get someone to support you. Ideally you also want someone you can talk to and discuss issues with so you don't feel all alone. If you need a friend for support going into the conflict discussions then get someone. When we are in a grieving state it is not a good time to make important decisions.

Mzansi weighs in on Mabitsela family statement

Netizens are worried about Ratile after her in-laws seemingly "excluded" her and her kids from the statement announcing her husband's death, with many suspecting that things would turn sour:

shaz___m said:

"The Mabitsela family will show Ratile flames. How come they don’t mention he was a father on the statement?"

Fiireee__ wrote:

"That family excluded Ratile from the statement? I'd go to court for his body since we are all being petty."

sori_lab advised:

"Ratile, what you’re gonna have to do is stand up and fight for your kids because that family won’t do it. Not with that lame statement."

LordFarqu44d posted:

"The family of Ratile’s husband are so cold in that statement - mentioning that they lost a son and brother but not husband and dad. But ultimately, it’s the wife who has legal authority over decisions related to her husband’s body and burial."

"Why are they not acknowledging that he was a father and a husband?"

Patriotic_Tee added:

"They are setting the foundation to fight for his stuff and money. Just wait and see - they will be dragging Ratile to courts stating that she shouldn’t get anything."
