Nollywood actress, Chioma Akpotha, on Monday recounted how her mother died in her arms 10 years ago.

In an Instagram post, the actress shared photos of her mum, stating that she still felt pain about her mother’s demise.

Akpotha wrote, “Trying to fight back tears today as I remember how you took your last breath in my arms this day, 10 years ago.

“The downpour that Wednesday morning was not to be compared to the tears my eyes and heart shed, but it was a sign to me that the heavens had welcomed you!

“It still hurts but not as much because the pain has become a part of me and more so, a major part of my adulthood. I am still struggling to fill the shoes you left for me even as I try to navigate life as a mother too.

“I will never stop wishing that you would be here with me but I am also grateful for the light that you continue to shine down on us.”
