The devastated mum has been open with her struggle in coping with the loss, and often shares photos of her daughter's grave, which she visits two to three times a day.
The tot's graveside has been covered in flowers and cuddly toys, particularly of Lion King's Nala and Simba, after lions became an emblem of Azaylia's incredible battle.

In the post, Safiyya calls Azaylia her 'hero', and said she was "honoured to have her as a guardian angel".
