The return of Sonia Monroy after participating in the ‘Supervivientes All Stars’ project was overshadowed by tragic news. The artist was faced with one of the greatest losses in her life—the passing of her older sister Marianheles, who had been battling an incurable form of cancer for a long time. This event dealt Sonia a devastating blow, plunging her into deep mourning and prompting her to withdraw from the public eye for a time.
This loss was the latest in a series of heartbreaking family tragedies that have haunted the artist for many years. Fate has tested her resilience time and again. Previously, she buried her parents, Perfecto and Virtudes, as well as two brothers, Peter and Frank. One of the most painful chapters in her life was losing her unborn daughter, whom she was expecting with the renowned footballer Romário. Each of these tragedies left a deep scar on her heart, and her sister’s death has reopened old wounds.
After several days of silence on social media, Sonia found the strength to return and share her feelings with fans. She did so in the only way she could—through music. The artist released a new song titled ‘Amor eterno’ (‘Eternal Love’), which became her lifeline and a way to channel her accumulated pain. In this song, she was able to express all the emotions and feelings connected to her endless streak of loss.
The composition is a musical confession—a cry from the soul—in which Sonya questions the cruelty of fate. In the lyrics, she wonders why life has sent her so much suffering, having taken her parents, siblings, and even denied her the chance to give birth to her daughter. A video was released for the song, where the artist expresses the full depth of her grief with raw, heartfelt emotion, transforming personal tragedy into a work of art.
In an accompanying note, Monroy admitted that music has become her refuge. To cope with grief and distance herself from everything that caused her pain, she went to France. It was there that this song was born, which she describes as “the cry of a daughter, sister, and mother.” Sonya openly shares that singing is not just a job or hobby for her, but sometimes the only way to keep going. Even though she feels broken, she finds the strength to fight and to seek meaning in her art.
