Juliana Kanyomozi has opened up about one of the darkest chapters of her life, revealing that there was a time when grief left her feeling hopeless to the point of wanting to walk away from both music and life itself.

Speaking to Galaxy TV, the celebrated singer shared that the emotional weight she carried after experiencing profound loss pushed her into a place where she could no longer find joy in the things she once loved.

“There was a time when I had given up on music. I didn’t want to sing or even live,” she confessed.

Juliana said she reached a point where she hated everything around her and felt trapped in overwhelming pain. She recalled believing she had sunk into a place so dark that no one could hear her cries for help.

“It felt like I was stuck in a dark hole and no one could hear me scream for help,” she explained.

The singer admitted there were moments when she felt she could have harmed herself, but instead she turned to prayer. She said she got down on her knees and asked God to pull her out of what felt like an endless pit of despair.

Reflecting on the experience, Juliana said many people who have gone through grief understand the feeling of becoming emotionally and mentally stuck while everyone else seems to move on with life.

She noted that grief can become so overwhelming that even simple things, like breathing, begin to feel difficult, adding that if left unaddressed, it can develop into depression.

Despite the painful journey, Juliana said the unwavering support of her family and close friends became her source of strength. She expressed gratitude to those who consistently checked on her, prayed for her and stood by her throughout her healing process.

“It’s moments like those that you realize the importance of family and friends,” she said, noting that they supported her in different ways until she found hope again.

If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of self-harm or feels overwhelmed by hopelessness, it’s important to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or a qualified mental health professional. You don’t have to go through it alone.
