For a year, she appeared strong and was encouraging others on how to overcome grief.
But actress, Eucharia Anunobi has disclosed that she was always crying and not as happy as people thought.
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beat, the actress said she had yet to recover from the loss of her only child.
“It is not possible to overcome the trauma of losing an only child; it is a scar that will always be there. I don’t even know if I have the strength. People only tell me that I have the strength but all I know is that I am very fragile and weak. Forget the powder and lipstick, it is just a cover-up; it’s been days and nights of tears,” she said.
Although her late son suffered from sickle-cell anaemia, the actress stressed that her beloved son didn’t die of his condition but rather as a result of his doctors’ mistake. However, she insisted that she would not like to go into details about how it happened yet. “I still miss him so much, especially when I have to drive home and I remember that he’s no more; he used to give me a warm welcome anytime I got home. I never nursed any fear when he was born. I need to correct a misconception. He didn’t die because he had sickle-cell anaemia, he died because the doctors made a mistake, but I don’t want to go into that right now,” she said.
