Beverly Afaglo's mom loses three to cancer

In deeply moving, painful footage emerging from the private mourning quarters, actresses Jackie Appiah and Kafui Danku, both close personal friends of Beverly, were seen entering the inner rooms draped in traditional dark funeral cloth.

The atmosphere broke down completely when they approached Beverly's elderly mother. The matriarch, who already relies heavily on a walking stick to maintain her physical stability, was completely incapacitated by tears.

In a beautiful, protective display of authentic daughterhood, both Jackie and Kafui immediately lowered themselves to the floor, her tightly as she rocked back and forth.

The sheer weight of the elderly woman's grief has raised massive concerns among relatives and friends. In an industry where Beverly was widely celebrated for constantly flaunting and honouring her mother, calling her the absolute heartbeat of her life, the mother is now left to face an incredibly lonely reality.

This marks the third time the cruel hand of cancer has stripped away her core support system; having previously buried her husband and another child to the same diagnosis, the loss of her vibrant daughter-celebrity anchor has completely shattered her world.
