TikToker Rachael Otuoma has opened up about the steps she wants to take to avoid overthinking following the death of her husband, footballer Ezekiel Otuoma.

Through TikTok, the beauty, who buried her husband about two weeks ago, announced that it has not been easy living without the love of her life.

Rachael explained that she realized if she continues staying idle, she might drown in deep thoughts and depression.

She said she now has to start looking for jobs related to her interior decoration profession.

She also announced that she is taking a break from social media to go and shave her hair, and when she returns, her hairstyle will resemble the way her late husband used to keep his hair.

"I’m going to shave, and when I come back, I’ll look just like Otuoma. I want to shave in the same style as Otuoma. You know the style he used to have with a rugged patch on top? That one. Right now, you have to do things that make you happy," Rachael said.

Apart from shaving, Rachael also mentioned that she is in the process of finding a new place to live and moving out of the house she shared with the late Ezekiel Otuoma.

She stated that although she plans to move, she will neither sell nor give away the chair that Otuoma loved to sit on, making it clear that by the end of this month, she will have completed her relocation.

"These thoughts will kill me. To be honest, staying in the house all the time makes me overthink. When I turn one corner, I see Otuoma’s picture smiling at me, and elsewhere I see Otuoma smiling at me from his favorite chair. I won’t give away this chair, I just want to find work and keep myself busy."

"On Wednesday, I have a job, and I must go because staying idle like this will kill me with stress. I will move soon, by the end of this month, I’ll be out of here," Rachael emphasized.

The footballer passed away late last year, just days before Christmas, and was buried in the first week of January this year.

Before his death, Otuoma had been battling Motor Neurone Disease, which affects the body's nerves, for four years since 2020.
