Nollywood actress Lilian Esoro has mourned the death of her father, describing his passing as a painful loss that has left her struggling with waves of grief.
Esoro disclosed this in an Instagram post made on Sunday, where she shared a photograph of her father and revealed that he died suddenly a few weeks ago.
The actress described her father as “the man who led me to Christ” and her only living parent, saying his death came shortly after she had been dealing with the loss of a close friend.
She wrote, “A man who was an integral part of my life—the man who led me to Christ, my only living parent, my Dad—passed away suddenly.”
Esoro said she had tried to keep herself occupied with social activities, work and planning events since his death, but admitted that “nothing feels quite the same.”
She added, “This kind of grief is different. It is heart-wrenching and almost impossible to explain. Some days, I am genuinely happy. Other days, a wave of sadness hits me so suddenly and so deeply that I almost don’t know what to do with it or how to react.”
The actress, however, said she remained hopeful in her faith, adding, “It is well with my soul. God is still God! With him there is no controversy.”
She also thanked her family and friends for their love, prayers and support during the difficult period.
Esoro’s colleagues took to the comment section to express their condolences and offer words of comfort.
Actress Nancy Isime wrote, “Sending you lots of love as you navigate through this difficult time Lili.”
Also reacting, Shafii Bello wrote, “Please accept my condolences my darling Lilian. May God comfort you.”
Actress Chioma Akpotha added, “So sorry for your loss my dear Lilian.”
