According to him, watching her suffer was deeply painful.
Alewilese said he chose not to make her health issues public while she was alive.
He explained that there was no good news to share at the time and that informing the public would only have caused fear and worry without offering any hope.
He added that her struggle was difficult to witness, and keeping it private was his way of protecting both her dignity and her fans.
