Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya opened up in a heart wrenching video about losing her unborn child at eight months.
She revealed that the incident occurred a month ago but she decided to keep it secret and speak about it now that she felt the need to.
"It is not a secret, I just feel that certain things are meant to be kept personal because they are personal. This has happened for over a month. That is to tell you that I choose to speak on what I want to speak about. If I don’t want to speak about it, I wouldn’t talk about it.",she said.
The actress tearfully recounts her experiences when she was pregnant and how she greatly anticipated the arrival of her baby only to give birth to a stillborn.
With tears in her eyes, she revealed that she was rushed to the emergency room only to discover that her child wasn't breathing anymore and she had to be induced to go into labor.
She tearfully expressed that some of her close friends were not aware of what happened to her because she decided to keep it from the public. She deeply apologized to her close pals asking them not to cross with her for keeping something of that magnitude from them.
She said, "Even people very close to me, those people really close to me that expected they should have known by now, I’m sorry that I didn’t say it to you and that’s because I want to grieve my way. I just wanted to grieve my own way.
A time will come when we have to go through some things. So, I hope you would understand and not get angry that I didn’t open up all this time. I’m sorry. I just felt it was the best way for me to heal"
She urged the public not to tell her now to grieve or try to lay different narratives of why it happened to her. She said she knows people are too quick to assume things and tag every experience as spiritual but she doesn't want anyone to tell her how to feel.
