Veteran Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi has shared why she didn’t mourn the death of her son, who passed away due to complications arising from sickle cell anaemia in 2017.
According to the pastor, who had a conversation with Chude Jideonwo in his famous #WithChude show, she didn’t mourn her son’s death hopelessly because she believes in the word of God which guarantees hope in all situation.
She says,
“When you grow in God, it makes you understand that everything is temporal, so there is no need killing yourself. If you lose a loved one, the body is what is gone. The spirit and soul have returned to the one who gave it, and you’ll still have a connection with that spirit someday.
“The comfort I have not to mourn overtly over the loss of my only child is that I know he is not gone. He’s gone physically, but the word of God says I will see him again.”
“That is why the word says, ‘My peace I give to you. My peace I leave with you. Not as the world will give to you.’ Therefore, when you have a bereavement, when you have things that are supposed to bring you undue sorrow, you don’t sorrow. Because you know that they were given to you for a short period of time.”
