Nollywood actress Rita Edochie made use of her Instagram account to emphasise the importance parental self-care is to children’s wellbeing.
She emphasised the terrible reality that many children confront after the death of their parents, urging both present and future parents to take this seriously.
Edochie emphasised in her passionate letter that no one can take the place of biological parents’ care and protection, especially during a child’s early years.
She emphasized the unique ability of parents to understand, support, and love their children.
“No one can ever be a better shepherd to them except you. As parents, married or single, no one can adequately take care of your kids in your absence. You are the only person who can do that, you are the only one who can read their minds, pay attention to them, understand them and love them to the core.
“My prayer for you this morning is that you will live so long for your children and not die to leave them behind. If you think that when you give up on life and die, that those you think they care about would take care of your kids then that is a big lie. May God guide and preserve your lives, so as to live long for your children,” she said.
Recall that Rita Edochie declared openly her steadfast support for May Edochie, Yul Edochie’s estranged wife, even though May is not her biological daughter.
Despite facing significant criticism for her involvement in Yul Edochie’s marital issues, Rita remains steadfast in her support for his first wife.
Through an Instagram post, Rita Edochie affirmed her dedication to standing by May Edochie’s side, staunchly opposing anyone who seeks to denigrate her.
