Carole Samaha expressed her profound sorrow over the passing of her husband, Dr. Walid Mostafa, who recently lost a long battle with illness. The tribute coincided with Father’s Day, casting a shadow of grief over her and their daughter's life.

Carole posted a photo of her late husband hugging their daughter on her official Facebook account, accompanied by heartfelt words from a broken heart:

“A huge void in my heart… You were the embrace, the safety, the pillar… Your presence lingers in every corner of the house, in every detail, in every moment of weakness when we look for you… I try my best to fill the emptiness you left, but no one is like you.”

She continued in her touching message:
“You weren’t just a father — you were a school of love and sacrifice that will never be repeated… On every Father’s Day, I remember you, and I pray that your soul is at peace in heaven, dearest and kindest father in the world.”
This wasn’t the first time Carole paid tribute to her late life partner with such raw emotion. After his passing, she previously wrote:

“Indeed we belong to God, and to Him we shall return… Today I lost my husband and my beloved, Dr. Walid Mostafa, after a long journey of struggle with illness… I have never known anyone who believed in resilience and struggle like you… Walid, I’ve lost your body, but your soul remains a guiding light for me… I will never forget your last words — your memory will burn in my heart… until we meet again, where there is no pain, no tears, no goodbyes.”

The messages shared by Carole Samaha became a collective space of mourning. Thousands of fans and admirers flooded her social media pages with condolences and prayers, remembering Dr. Walid Mostafa for his humanity, wisdom, and kindness.
