Former First Lady Monica Geingos has urged Namibians to be proactive and organise their wills as death can come unexpectedly.
She was speaking during the national memorial service of her late husband President Hage Geingob.
She emphasised that death is a humbling experience, stressing that individuals are not summoned by their creator at a time convenient for themselves or their loved ones.
“Please go and update your wills, and speak to your family about your preferences because death knocks unexpectedly,” she said.
She noted that decisions related to funeral arrangements are often made by individuals in a state of grief, which can strain relationships.
Geingos expressed gratitude to both her family and the Geingob family for successfully navigating the challenges in their relationship during this difficult time.
She emphasised that one’s departure occurs according to the divine plan, highlighting that the passing of her husband serves as a reminder for everyone to be prepared for the unexpected.
