Nollywood actress Funmi Awelewa has recalled some of the challenges in caring for her ailing mother, which affected her career.
In a post shared on her Instagram page, Funmi Awelewa revealed that the last few months were tough for her, she lost her mind and couldn’t find a better word to describe how she felt.
Funmi Awelewa said her mother’s health affected her career, and she stopped going to movie locations because she needed to concentrate on taking care of her.
According to Funmi Awelewa, she turned down many private parties, and some of her colleagues thought she was proud and didn’t want to mingle, not knowing she was battling with her mother’s health.
In her words: The last few months was tough for me but I’m grateful God gave my Mother another chance. At a point I lost my mind and I couldn’t find a better word to describe how I felt..
Seeing one’s mother going through so much pain can be frustrating. As if it wasn’t enough for a mother that lost her sight long time ago. Seeing her in so much pain made me sad and affected everything that surrounds me. It affected my career, I stopped going to location since last year July because I concentrated in taking care of her.
It also affected my business cuz i keep going from one hospital to another Trust me, I turned down many Party invites, some of my colleagues think that I am proud or I don’t want to mingle not knowing that I have what I am battling with which is my MOTHER’S HEALTH.
What is my Joy when my mother is in so much pain🥲 I so much love my family and I don’t joke with them but trust me the last few months has changed a lot about Me. Is it the money I spend daily? Or the “every 2hours drugs” Hmmm It is well.
I can’t complain, we can’t complain
I’m grateful to God she made it alive
My family is grateful God
My only wish to God is to “PLEASE GIVE THIS WOMAN A CHANCE TO SEE AGAIN EVEN IF ITS JUST FOR 5MINS JUST TO SEE WHAT HER DAUGHTER HAS BECOME.
Thanks to everyone that reach out! 2022, I’m ready for the good things you have for me and my family
