Despite the blue skies today, life looked a lot darker for Christopher Banda after he lost his wife in December 2020. The 38-year-old farmer from Zomba, Malawi, was in so much emotional pain he admitted he had suicidal thoughts. Ultimately, his family took him to the local psychiatric hospital, where they treated him for depression.
"I was in a situation where the only thing I was thinking was to take my own life because it meant nothing then. I was scared to live on my own without her and it was eating me up," he tells RFI's Africa Calling correspondent Benson Kunchezera.
