Multi-platinum award-winning South African musician Holly Rey has shared a vulnerable moment with her fans, revealing the challenges of living with type 1 diabetes. Diagnosed at the age of 11, Holly opened up about how the condition has affected her recently, particularly in February, when her health took a toll.

In a post on her social media, Holly shared images of herself in a hospital bed alongside her adopted sister, Mimi. She expressed the emotional weight of the past month, saying, “February has been hard. I have no motivational quote or wholehearted insight into how to stay strong through struggles because the truth is it sucks and you don’t always feel strong or have the capacity to be strong when you feel like you have hit rock bottom.”

Holly, who has always been open about her health journey, explained that she has been struggling to come to terms with a recent diagnosis and has found it difficult to share her experiences. “I’ve always been open and honest about my health journey and my relationship with type 1 diabetes, but for the past month I have been struggling to come to terms with a recent diagnosis and have been struggling to share anything,” she wrote.

Despite her struggles, Holly assured her fans that she is on a healing journey. “I am OK and I am on a journey of healing. I will share and talk about it once I have fully come to terms with everything,” she added. She also expressed gratitude towards her loved ones for their support, saying, “Thank you to my family, friends, and loved ones for holding me up.”

Fans and fellow musicians have offered their support to Holly. Award-winning producer Oscar Mbo sent well wishes, writing, “Strength & healing.” Musician Gigi Lamayne shared words of encouragement, saying, “I love you my sis. Be strong. Plenty blessings.” Media personality Kim Jayde also sent her love, saying, “God’s angels are by your side day & night sis! Sending you all our love & prayers.”

Holly’s openness about her health journey has resonated with many, and her honesty continues to inspire others to face their struggles with strength and support.
