Carmen Sama, the widow of DJ Arafat, opened up to her followers about the challenges she faces as a single mother during a Q&A session on Snapchat. She discussed the difficulties she faces in raising her daughter, Rafna, alone, filling both the roles of mother and father since the tragic death of the Coup\u00e9-D\u00e9cal\u00e9 star in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since DJ Arafat’s tragic passing, Carmen Sama has not entered into a new relationship. She strives to manage Rafna’s upbringing as best as she can, well aware of the absence of a father figure. On her Snapchat, while answering her followers’ questions, she was asked how she manages to juggle the doubled responsibilities of a parent and to keep smiling for her daughter, acknowledging her incredible courage in face of this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frankly speaking, Rafna’s mother answered the question sincerely. “Honestly, I don\u2019t know where this strength comes from to be able to play both roles without her feeling the absence of her father. But it’s very hard. Especially at school, at parent-teacher meetings where you see each child with both parents,” she said. And she continued: “I often hide to cry. Then in front of her, I come back smiling as if nothing happened. If it were up to me, Rafna would remain an only child. I always dreamed of having children from a single father, but man proposes, God disposes… Given the circumstances.<\/em>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carmen Sama, the widow of DJ Arafat, opened up to her followers about the challenges she faces as a single mother during a Q&A session on Snapchat.
