I’ve Still Not Gotten Over the Trauma of Losing My Only Son – Eucharia Anunobi

By Farouk Mohammed

Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi has revealed that she has not gotten over the trauma of losing her only son.

The role interpreter recently organised a memorial service for her late son, Raymond Ekwu, who died last year.

In a chat with Punch, 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.

“In the fullness of time, I will adopt a child in God’s time; although, I still have people that stay with me that I’ve been taking care of, even before he (my son) died,” she said.

Speaking on how she misses her son, Eucharia said:”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 revealed.
