Maame Yaa Konamah of United Television
Eleven years after the tragic loss of her husband, United Television (UTV) presenter Yaa Konamah has revisited her grief.
In a deeply personal video shared online, the broadcaster was seen at the Osu Cemetery, solemnly honouring her husband’s memory on the anniversary of his death.
Her visit marked May 20, 2024, the day her life changed irreversibly. Sitting in her car near the gravesite, Konamah struggled to control her tears as she recounted the final hours she shared with him.
That morning, they had exchanged words of affection and blessings before she left for work. It was after she had finished delivering the news that she received the call that her husband had collapsed.
Konamah did not specify the cause of his sudden passing, but she painted a painful picture of confusion and helplessness. He had first been taken to Maranatha at the Nungua Estate, where he was turned away. Medical attention was again denied at Lekma Hospital. When they finally arrived at the 37 Military Hospital, just minutes before she arrived, he had already passed away.
The UTV presenter used the moment not only to grieve but also to speak directly to others who have experienced similar pain. She reflected on how quickly good people can vanish from life and expressed sorrow that such losses often go unnoticed. Yet, in her sorrow, she found solace in the belief that the departed suffer no more.
Yaa Konamah urged others enduring grief to find comfort in knowing their loved ones are at peace and in the care of something greater.
