She held back tears as she began. “I had to come on here because today is a week from the anniversary of me losing Adolph, and this almost-year has been the most challenging year I’ve ever had to face in my life."
“And it’s like the closer I get to this earmark, man. I just be so like, trying to be positive about something so messed up. It comes to a breaking point to where it’s like it’s really, just unfair.”

She went on to detail the importance of having a "father's voice" in a household. In the caption to her video, she spoke of a "permanent nagging heartache" that remains.
"It is a f*cked up position to be in," Mia wrote. "And if I could have it my way, I would not be here dealing with the ins and out of loss at this magnitude."
Dolph's children are "heavily grieving not having a father anymore." Mia stated, "For my son who is growing into manhood, he looks to the man in his life to show him how... And considering that he had the best, dopest most solid father any little black boy would dream of having... It ain't a mentor around who can replace what he had."
She concluded her message by asking for prayer. Read through Mia Jaye's post in full below.
