Bukunmi Oluwasina’s Heartfelt Confession: Her Father’s Death Changed Her View on Life
Bukunmi Oluwasina has opened up about the profound impact of her father’s sudden death, revealing how it altered her perspective on life and stripped her of cherished moments.
The emotional revelation came in a lengthy Instagram post where she mourned the recent losses of veteran actors Sisi Quadri and Mr. Ibu, while reflecting on her grief.
She shared that her father’s passing made her acutely aware of life’s fragility, admitting that she no longer celebrates her birthday the same way.
May 7th, once a day of joy, now brings sadness as she remembers her father, who was always the first to call, pray for her, and give her birthday gifts.
I have started seeing life differently, since some angels came unaware, and took my dad away. I have learnt to accept that every day brings me closer to my own grave. Losing someone dear to you, that pain is never the same. It’s not on the list of pains that go away.
The actress revealed that her father’s death taught her to cherish every moment with those she loves.
She now prioritizes creating memories, whether singing lullabies to her daughter, kissing her partner goodnight, or helping strangers, knowing nothing truly belongs to us forever.
I no longer worry about the day I die; I only worry about the loved ones I leave behind. So every single time, I use it as well as I can… Go broke being there for people known and unknown, because none of the things we have are truly our own.
