Junelle Bromfield reflects on grief and cherished memories during the festive season, sharing her emotional journey with fans.

The festive spirit is ramping up but not that much for Junelle Bromfield who lost her mother to cervical cancer just before the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Life has been uneasy for her as she has had to deal with a lot and learn to manage her grief while also handling a lot on the sidelines.

In a recent video on her TikTok, Junelle Bromfield admitted to missing her mother as she went down memory lane about what she could have made for Christmas, revealing that she was one of the strongest women she ever got a chance to interact with.

The video shows Junelle in a somber mood staring at a mirror before switching to another video of her late mother walking—and oh boy, isn’t she a copy of her?

In the video, Junelle wrote the caption: “I don’t feel good, I wanna go home.”

She added another caption on the video: “Missing my mom a lot today.”

One of her followers who could relate to that feeling, commented on her video saying: “Been saying the same thing, miss my mommy so much. Mommy knows how to solve every problem.”

Junelle replied to the comment: “Would be having pot-roasted beef tomorrow.”

Junelle has been a victim of a series of losses since she also had to bury one of her brothers two years before her mother’s demise and another one last year.

Therapy, as recommended by her fiancé Noah Lyles has worked well for her but there are times she just feels like her mother would be alive to witness her success.

Her mother was her greatest cheerleader and she would always make time to support Junelle despite being a single mother of eight children.

“She was the only person who showed up to my track meets and everything like…I feel as if the main reason why I did track was not just for me and not to get myself out of my situation but also to take her out of the situation,” Junelle said in a past interview.

“She was a single mother and as I always said, I never knew we were poor until I started living a different life. That’s how great she did…I was not missing school because she was that person who wasn’t afraid to ask for help.”
