The post shared on June 1, 2023, seeks to address issues concerning viral claims from some netizens that she had moved on so quickly and probably did not remember her deceased husband anymore.

Claire, whose emotional tribute to her late husband saddened the hearts of many, added that she could not lose herself because she needed to be stronger for her kids, who have also lost a father.

The widow, who has honoured her late husband's memory with some old photos and moments of his time with the family, indicated that her children have also asked her almost every day for their father, and these are part of the reasons why she has decided to be strong for them to be happy.

"I am writing just to say a few things, Yes, I posted a dance video, Not because I am happy but because I have to find a way to deal with my grief. I am not alone, I have three kids to take care of by myself."
