At the age of 13 I lost my mother to cervical cancer, she passed away when she was only 32 and since then I have been grieving her loss 🕊️ Losing a parent is the worst thing I have ever experienced and the healing and grieving never stops. For my 30th birthday, I reconnected to my African ancestry, after 17 years apart. The love of my Angolan family and reconnecting and honoring the memory of my birth mother was the biggest gift I could get. This really wasn't an easy trip, but I am so glad I did it. Reconnecting with my African roots was so powerful and I cherish every moment I did spend with my family in Luanda, Angola. A big thank you to everyone that supported me and encouraged me to make this trip happen. This is the best thing I could have done for myself ❤️ I hope my trip and story inspired you Thank you for watching Follow my journey here: ruclips.net/channel/UCbMJpZ-Et32JBHtT5xR6M3Q Watch this next: ruclips.net/p/PLdtSixC_mZ4okdloFP5ucxG69PMpis66k This video is not sponsored.

This was a really touching vlog. I too was a product of an affair. I found out that I may have started thumb sucking to soothe the separation anxiety being away from my dad. Now I got braces at 32 which I believe is a part of a bigger healing journey. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability, it has really touched me ❤
Hi Oyin, I’m so grateful for you and your openness sharing your story ❤️ Thank you And I’m so proud of you for doing these things for yourself! It took me time as well, but the healing starts when we are ready Never thought of thumb sucking as a result of separation anxiety, and I am definitely curious about it, because I had the exact same habit, since I was a little kid. In a way it was so soothing and comforting like nothing else, and it makes so much sense that I was subconsciously compensating for being apart from my mommy 🥺 Again, thank you for sharing. I’m so grateful I did this video too, and that it has reached wonderful people like you
