In an interview on the Delay Show monitored by News & Vibes, lawyer Maurice Ampaw revealed that his late wife, Evelyn, kept her lung cancer diagnosis a secret from him and their children for years.
Despite their long and seemingly close relationship, Evelyn chose to hide her illness, even from her closest loved ones.
Maurice Ampaw recalled noticing changes in his wife’s body, such as weight gain and difficulty breathing, but attributed them to COVID-19.
It wasn’t until her symptoms worsened, and she was diagnosed with pneumonia, which later became cancerous, that he discovered the truth. By then, it was too late, and she passed away just a week later.
The lawyer expressed his shock and pain upon learning that his wife had known about her diagnosis all along but chose to keep it hidden.
He remembered how her behavior changed in the days leading up to her death, pushing him and their twin children away, which was uncharacteristic of her.
Evelyn’s decision to keep her illness a secret has left Maurice Ampaw with unanswered questions and a deep sense of loss.
Despite his grief, he has found the strength to move on and has remarried. The story serves as a reminder that even in the closest relationships, secrets can be kept, and loved ones may be hiding their struggles.
Maurice has been involved in some controversial cases and has been known to speak his mind, which has sometimes landed him in trouble.
He is a staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and has been involved in some high-profile legal cases involving party members.
