Azaylia Cain's mum says her days are 'empty' without daughter in heartbreaking post

Azaylia Cain's mum Safiyya Vorajee has shared a heartbreaking post as she continues to grieve over the loss of her late daughter.

Last month, eight-month-old Azaylia tragically passed away following her brave battle with a rare form of leukaemia.

Her courageous fight gripped the hearts of the nation as her parents shared her story on social media throughout her battle.

Safiyya and her boyfriend Ashley Cain, 30, are suffering as they continue to come to terms with the news, with the aesthetic practioner revealing her "days are so empty" without Azaylia.

"Wearing my rainbow pyjamas for you Azaylia. My days are so empty without you whenever I think of you I ache from head to toe as I miss you so much," she shared on Instagram.

Safiyya posted an image of herself looking upset, adding: "I get the biggest lump in my throat and I just want to fall to my knees and cry."

But she continued to say that her brave daughter would want her to stay strong.

On Thursday night, Ashley emotionally opened up about the pain he is feeling trying to plan his daughter's funeral.

Heartbroken Ashley posted to his Instagram Story to tell followers that the pair had started to make funeral plans for their daughter.

But he revealed that some days it "breaks him" and he's unable to proceed.

His heartfelt note read: "I always dreaded the first time I'd have to plan a funeral. But I never, ever thought it would be my child's funeral.

"Nothing could ever have prepared me for this. Some days it breaks me and I can't even bare to do it.

"I always thought I was tough, but making decisions on how I'm going to bury my baby is enough to bring me to my knees every single time."

He ended by saying: "It's hard to make sense of anything right now, especially why did it have to happen this way!"
