Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda has opened up about her ongoing grief following the death of her younger brother.
Chinda shared the update in an Instagram post, revealing that her youngest brother died on February 12, one day before her daughter’s 18th birthday on February 13.
The actress said the loss has been difficult to process and that she is still on a healing journey.
According to Chinda, she comes from a small family and has relied on God for strength as they navigate the painful period.
The actress also used her experience to offer encouragement to people dealing with their own personal struggles.
She urged those going through difficult moments to show themselves compassion and not feel pressured to have everything figured out immediately.
Chinda said people should allow themselves to feel tired, take breaks and step back when life becomes overwhelming.
She also reminded her followers that difficult periods do not last forever, encouraging them to focus on getting through life one day and one moment at a time.
“Still healing… It took me a while to heal from my youngest brother passing (12th Feb), just a day before my daughter’s 18th birthday (13th Feb),” she wrote.
The actress added that those experiencing hardship should remember that they are neither alone nor falling behind, stressing that a difficult chapter does not define the entirety of a person’s story.
Her message comes as she continues to come to terms with the loss while encouraging others to give themselves room to grieve, rest and heal.
