A Jehovah’s Witness mother tragically passed away after declining a life-saving blood transfusion due to her faith. The incident was shared online by a relative, @MrsZanga, who described the heartbreaking loss.
According to the post, the woman, a mother of three, including a 4-year-old, prioritized her religious beliefs over the medical procedure that might have saved her life. Jehovah’s Witnesses typically refrain from blood transfusions based on their religious convictions.
The incident has sparked emotional discussions online, with many expressing sorrow for her children while questioning the balance between faith and medical intervention.
Reactions have followed …
@Allezamani asked: “This insanity still dey happen?”
@highchart remarked: “Sorry for your loss
I don’t pity but the kids she left behind😩 God will guide them and keep them, they will be alright if the uncles and aunties are good people to fend for them”
@MrsZanga replied: “My fear is that the siblings are not even talking to themselves. They’re all Jehovah’s witnesses oo, but they’ve been in malice with each other for years😭😭
I don’t even understand the part of the Bible they study 🤦🏾♀️”
@beaubobritton shared: “I had the same thing happen when I worked in the ER on night shift. A woman was literally bleeding out and I asked one of my female nurse buddies to go in and chat her, woman to woman, and she eventually got the patient to accept a transfusion of 3 units which saves her life.”
@ShedakpePerson revealed: “I recall when my dad’s late uncle was in this situation. The family refused.
Dr asked them to drop money, that he has alternative way of treating him.
Before dawn, Dr gave him plenty blood.
He just said, “make una carry una papa, he don well”
Lol!”
