Ashley Cain’s girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee fights back tears in the gym over losing daughter Azaylia
ASHLEY Cain’s girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee fought back tears in the gym today as she tried to overcome her anxiety following daughter Azaylia’s death.
The grieving mum wore an orange shirt with Azaylia’s face on as she went to body combat and body pump classes with best friend Ellie.
Speaking to camera, emotional Safiyya said: “It’s causing me so much anxiety to come out and do anything, but I took the step today to get back into the gym and do some classes where there’s more people around.”
Later in the day Safiyya visited Azaylia’s grave and filmed the floral tributes that had been left for her little girl.
She wrote: “I ache so much I long for you baby. Your my everything.”
Yesterday Safiyya said her heart was “throbbing” with pain as she struggles with the grief of losing her daughter at just eight months old.
The brave mum and partner Ashley said their final goodbyes to Azaylia on Friday at an incredibly moving funeral.
Safiyya, who has shared the difficult journey she has been on the past few months with fans, posted a video as she lay in bed.
She told her followers: “I just wish that I had her here with me in my arms lying in bed. It is literally heart breaking. I just feel so sad.
“My heart is aching so much, it’s literally throbbing. I wake up and then I can’t get back to sleep. I am just thinking about my little baby.”
Her daughter passed away last month at just eight months old after suffering from an aggressive form of leukaemia.
Ashley and Safiyya shared a series of emotional images from their daughter’s funeral and wake.
Ashley opened up about the day, telling his fans: “BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, COURAGEOUS, INSPIRATIONAL, FOREVER IN MY HEART.
“Friday was by far the most difficult day of my life. Laying to rest my beautiful daughter who had such a huge, positive and powerful impact on not only myself and my family, but the entire world.
“Rest in eternal paradise princess. Daddy loves you forever and always!”
Safiyya shared her thoughts on the day, writing : “The toughest day of my life, was waking up Friday morning my heart sank, it was the day I had to say goodbye to my baby on earth.
“I was scared and heartbroken to say the least.
“Azaylia deserved to have the most beautiful send off we could give her, and we did that, we celebrated everything she loved because she is watching us, I wanted to do her proud.”
Sharing more details from the day, she continued: “I did a speech and spoke about how you made me a woman, you inspire me every day.
“Thankyou for teaching me unconditional love and so much more, I’m so proud of you Azaylia, your mummy’s hero.
“I was so nervous but I did the whole day in honour of you Azaylia I knew you was watching and I know you was proud.
“We will be together one day for eternity, sleep tight princess mummy loves you with all my heart.”
