Even in her most difficult days brought about by her sickness, talent manager, entertainment columnist, former showbiz talk show host and radio personality Lolit Solis managed to stay positive, a trait admired by many of those who knew and loved her.

Tita Lolit, or fondly Manay Lolit to most who know her, passed on July 3 at the age of 78, after battling renal failure that caused her to undergo dialysis for the past three years. She died of acute coronary syndrome.

"It's so hard to be sick," Lolit lamented in her recent Instagram post, apparently written while she was in her hospital bed. "You are hopeless, helpless and weak. You seem not to know where to go and what to do."

"I feel it was already late for me to have this kind of episode in my life. But if you know God, He knows when or where to give you certain things."

Lolit was grateful that doing dialysis happened late in her life. She only started doing the procedure twice a week in 2022. Yet, she came to terms with slowing down and remained grateful for the life she had lived.
