Actress Osas Ighodaro has opened up about her emotional journey dealing with the loss of her mother during an appearance on VJ Adams’ show Off The Top. Almost four years after her mother’s passing, Osas admitted that the pain still surfaces unexpectedly.
She shared that grief remains a constant presence, but she has learned to manage it by embracing her emotions rather than suppressing them.
“I allow myself to feel what I’m feeling, then I move forward,” she said.
Osas explained that she draws strength from the belief that her struggles are temporary.
She said she believes that one day, she’ll have meaningful stories and experiences to share with her mother in the afterlife.
Osas said, “I haven’t cried in a while; it has almost been four years since my mum passed away and the pain never goes away.
“From time to time the emotion takes over and it can come unawares and that’s what I’m not really keen on. You could just get into the mood, and it’s a lot but I’ve learnt to allow it to take its course, brush it off and keep it moving.
“One thing that has really helped me, and I usually say this when someone loses a parent, is that this situation is temporary. Live your life the best way you can that so when your time comes to transition, you have a lot to tell your family over there.
“So I’m trying to live my life so that when I meet my mum long from now, I’d have a lot to gist about.”
