Uriel Oputa, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija, has talked about the tough time she has had taking care of her mother, who has vascular dementia.

he pointed out that even though her mother’s illness made her feel unproductive in some parts of her life, she has found comfort in thinking about her path to forgiveness.

Uriel also shared that she has come to forgive herself for how she reacted to her mother’s condition.

Additionally, she expressed that her new interest in health awareness and prevention comes from wanting to help others avoid similar challenges.

In her words:

“These last few days have been incredibly hard. Yesterday, I fed my mother breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which meant I couldn’t get to anything else. It left me feeling unproductive, but it reminded me of one of the biggest things I’ve overcome: forgiveness.

“I had to forgive my mother. I forgave her for not taking her high blood pressure medication on time. Something that might have prevented her stroke and eventually, her vascular dementia. I forgave her for likely not being here when I have children and for not being able to do our traditional rites when a woman gives birth. And I forgave myself for the way I’d acted at times, knowing she wouldn’t be there. Over the years, I realized I was carrying a lot of anger, and I finally let it go.

This experience is why I’m so passionate about speaking on health and prevention. I want to make sure others don’t go through what I’m going through now.

Because it’s fucking hard.

I just want the old times”.
