In a candid conversation with media personality Toke Makinwa, the well-known actor, Jim Iyke, has revealed the significant role that delayed grief played in the dissolution of his marriage.
In the video that began circulating on Saturday, Iyke attributed the breakdown of his marriage to his postponed grieving process, which was primarily linked to the loss of his late mother. He openly confessed that his failure to properly mourn his mother’s passing was the root cause of his marital issues. He admitted to putting off the grieving process, and when he eventually confronted his sorrow, it had already taken a toll on his marriage.
Furthermore, he shared that he had been in the midst of constructing a home for his beloved mother before her passing. As the sole male child, he had assumed the role of the family’s strong male figure, leaving him little room to express his emotions. While other family members openly mourned, he had to uphold the facade of unwavering strength.
