Monica is grieving the loss of her father, and the tribute she shared hit a lot of people right in the heart.

The Grammy-winning singer opened up online about having to say goodbye, while also finding peace in knowing that her father is no longer in pain. It was one of those messages that felt deeply personal, but also familiar to anybody who’s ever had to release someone they love and trust God through the hurt.

In her post, Monica reflected on their bond, her faith, and the strength her father carried. She also shared words he lived by, reminding her that if God allows us to keep living, then we keep going.

That kind of message will sit with you.

Fans, friends, and supporters quickly filled her comments with prayers, love, and condolences. A lot of people also connected with her grief because losing a parent is one of those pains that doesn’t need a lot of explanation.

Monica has always been open about family, faith, and real life, which is part of why people feel so connected to her beyond the music. Whether it’s “Angel of Mine,” “So Gone,” or “The Boy Is Mine,” she’s been a voice for so many seasons of life. Now, people are showing up for her in this season.

As of now, Monica has not shared additional details about her father’s passing. But what she did share was enough to show the love, the pain, and the peace she’s trying to hold at the same time.

Prayers up for Monica and her family.
