A family in Berekum, Bono Region, has been hit by a heartbreaking double tragedy after a woman who had travelled all the way from Germany to bury her father suddenly died just a day after the burial.
The incident has left relatives, friends, and the entire community in deep shock as they struggle to come to terms with the painful events.
The woman, a mother of five, had reportedly arrived in Ghana earlier in the week to attend her father’s funeral.
According to family members, she was expected to fly back to Germany on Monday, November 17, after completing all burial arrangements and spending time with relatives.
Her visit was meant to bring closure and comfort as the family laid their father to rest.
However, on Sunday, November 16, 2025, only a day after the burial ceremony, the family received devastating news that she had suddenly passed away.
The tragic incident occurred in Berekum, where she had been staying with relatives during the funeral period.
Family sources say she had not shown any serious signs of illness that could have raised alarm.
Many who interacted with her during the funeral described her as calm, composed, and emotionally strong despite mourning her father.
This makes her sudden death even more shocking and painful for the family.
Relatives say preparations for her return to Germany were already underway.
She had even spoken to her children abroad, assuring them that she would be home soon after the emotional week.
Instead, they are now dealing with the devastating reality of losing their mother just days after losing their grandfather.
Community members in Berekum have also expressed their shock, describing the week’s events as one of the saddest moments the town has faced in recent times.
Many have been visiting the family home to offer support, prayers, and condolences.
