Well done Stella and you are truly loved. I can relate with you darling. I left an abusive marriage after over two decades. I was stigmatised, isolated and castigated. But today i am thankful to God because He saw me through the valley of the shadow of death and i am vindicated.
My children are also blessed and God is with them.
God bless you.
'No human being can complete you' I learned that about 4 years after my divorce. Truly only God completes you. One lesson- Be comfortable and confident in being ALONE.....
I really learned, be confident of yourself and know that only God can complete you
Rita Dominic and Stella Damasus have the same mannerisms. At certain points of the interview I could see Rita Dominic in Stella.
Exactly! I tho't I was the only one seeing it ooo
Lessons learned cont.
•If you don't allow people do things to you, they won't
•You don't accept the name that's not yours
•People who are judgemental are actually dealing with a lot of self guilt looking for others to pour venom on
•Process and let it go to move on
•Grow up to know there's no need to force things. If it's going, it's going. If not, let it go
• Be okay with you
•Access God's grace and favour by thanking Him daily. Gratitude is a formula. Be contented at the level you are.
👏🏾👏🏾❤️😊
Thank you ❤
Mama Stella you are a strong woman. Losing someone special to you it's not easy, I lost my dad 2019 he meant everything to me, I lost my mom when I was 3 years, my dad was there for me, he was sick for 5 years before he died, i didn't want him to die, he was my everything, I miss him every day of my life. But God is faithful
Thank you ma'am
So sorry, God will take care of you
I can relate. My dad died In 2014, I haven't moved from it. I felt betrayed too and still keep asking God in my foolish way that why did He allow it to happen. My dad was my everything.
I can’t believe that I actually watched the entire discussion. It was truly inspiring to hear from Stella. I could relate to some of her struggles and her victories too. When you see women who emerge successfully after losing their husbands or a breakup, it’s usually a sign that God is with them and has taken over. I was also glad to hear that Kate has been a good support system to Stella. Kate is another strong lady that I really admire In Nollywood.
Thank you for watching and for the feedback. Kindly share to encourage someone too.🙏🏽🥰
Awesome!
Thank you for sharing.
God is really great
I have benefited a lot from this. Thank you Stella and the host. God bless you!
Jayie Aboderin loved Stella, he was musician then. His death shoke Lagos. He's from a well known family, his sister is Wumi Obe . Stella is a strong woman
Wow!!!! Thank you for giving me so much strengthen this evening, I was almost losing it, widowed with 3 kids, life has been rough and tough
I took time to listen to this documentary to the end because Stella was one of my favorites In Nollywood in her days. All the negativity and criticisms and name calling against her kind of got me confused and l also developed mixed feelings towards her. But today l have heard from her directly and I will want to say Stella accept my apology and l apologize on behalf of the rest who judged you from HEARSAY.
My people , this is a lesson for everyone to learn. Do not judge,conclude and castigate someone from a mere hearsay. Get to hear the person directly.
Exactly 💯
You spoke for many of us, thank you
I practically shed tears listening to Stella. Losing a loved one especially a life partner and at such young age with children to take care of is one of the most difficult things ever..
I pray for total healing for her and I pray that God remembers her and her children for good.. Love you so much Stella Damasus🥰❤️
SO HAPPY I CAME IN CONTACT WITH THIS. STELLA YOU ARE A COMPETE
WOMAN
Wow.... I'm inspired by SD. I couldn't help but to cry. Because I couldn't very much relate with most of the things she been through, especially the social anxiety disorders, making people look and think of you negatively. SD I love you and keep on being you. The Lord is our strength and He's got our back. Shalom Peace.
There is so much money to be earned through social and other media just from bashing and running down people these days. Stella, listening to this presentation, I am awed by your strength in this journey and the wisdom of your mom, and how her wise words were able to help you reflect on your true identify so that you could continue to make that journey of self discovery. Unlike many, you identified and owned your own mistakes. You cannot inspire people if you haven't made the journey. There has to be a story to tell from the primary source. Ride on, Sister. Let them be with their frustrations.
Thank you!🩵
Wow , thank you for this piece , it’s inspiring and thank you SD for taking time for this narrative . I completely understand we’re you are coming from . Never be hard on yourself girl . I tell you what … you are pretty , beautiful , I couldn’t stop admiring this beauty . Beauty and intelligent Stella , congratulations and sorry for all you have gone through . ❤
Only a fool who has not been through life will judge Stella. Thank God that He is glorifying Himself in your life. I LOVE YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤😘
That is so truer
You can say that again!
People are always quick to judge, he that has not sinned be the first to cast the stone
💯
So people who have not experienced life are fools.
Cried intermittently throughout this interview 😢😢😢. Thank God for overcoming. Chaiii, we never know what people go through.
I too cried. She was so young
I came across this by accident. Such an inspiring story. Thank you Stella for sharing your story. Continue to keep your head up.
Wow, this is such an honest and authentic conversation. God bless you Stella 🙏
Your everyday declaration about yourself always works miracles
Very inspiring on both ends, keep this coming ladies. So proud of you women given our culture and how little our women speak on these issues and life in general. Much love!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Constance.🙏🏽🌹
Thank you so so much ma for bringing this interview to us. We are blessed and grateful. Thank you so much ma @Stella Damasus for sharing with us all these. God bless you more! God bless Pathfinder TV!
WOoooo..Stella Damascus is so strong. I wish I can handle emotions like her. More strength S.D
Thanks Stella for being this vulnerable!
Hello! Kudos to Stella for sharing such a brave and inspiring story of her like. As for me, I’m dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and it has been rough. But her testimony has helped me a whole lot, since I woke up this 3AM in Maryland 🇺🇸.
Once again, thanks to you both for helping me with coping skills. Actually, I was up to listening to videos or teachings on GAD and I ran into this video of yours out of curiosity. It really helped and blessed my life, especially knowing I’m not the only one battling something like this. I’m truly grateful. 👏
You're a strong and beautiful woman, Stella. Keep soaring. God appreciates and adores you❤🥰
I was just scrolling through UA-cam and honestly it was worth watching honestly. I'm a bit relieved and from this I think I know myself. Thank you Stella Damascus.
@@NdikumSuzzyMangwi-kg6qn We are glad it helped. Thanks for watching.❤️
So sad. I was also almost 26 when I lost my husband, We had three children together and they are all grown up now. God has been faithful to us all the way until now. I'm so grateful to God.
❤️
🥰😍🤩😘
Thanks for doing this Stella. It's a pleasure hearing from you, am not a social media person and not too sure I know so much about some of the stories after the death of your dear husband. But I identify with the widowhood aspect, I understand every aspect and can't judge or cast aspersions. God bless you for being you. Thank you for reminding us to know who we are and to live a life of gratitude.
Thank you so very much! Stella is one of Nollywood’s veterans I love, admire and respect and that feeling has gone an upper notch listening to this insightful interview! Wishing her all the very best with blessings and again big thank you for organising this! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾♥️💕
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching.🌹🙏🏽
I thank GOD for blessings me,giving me the opportunity to come across this vital conversation between these strong ladies,thanks SD and the host for sharing 😊🥰😘

It honestly takes a lot to share a part of ourselves with others and I honestly appreciate this opportunity, I learnt so much from this, thank you so much Ma❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Indeed it does. You are welcome.🙏🏽🌹
She's very beautiful , intelligent and talented ❤
❤❤❤ so beautiful indeed.
Madam SD, It's nice to see you again so sound and 'fresher' looking ! You used to be a face most delightful to behold when on show in those days. In fact nothing change in your facial adaptations especially the ways you switch, twist & slide your lips All these were the good spices that made viewer fans stayed tune and even want to keep a date with your next episode on screen. This session of interview is highly touching and resourceful. Your courage all through is commendable. May the good Lord continue to keep you abiding in Him till His coming IJN. CHEERS!
Stella is my support system for these peaceful messages, my mind is at peace now; I love you so much ❤.
I pray I will be able to share my story on widowhood someday......Stella, well done for this ....really helpful, especially when you mentioned "Suppot system ".....that truly is my second good part of this phase, after my children ❤.... till now, God knows how to meet all my needs, just at the right time...and I am grateful to Him....though I questioned Him too at some point ....but still He is faithful ❤.
God bless you SD for sharing your experiences 🙏
Thank you for sharing Stella, it's so much encouraging. From today i learned to choose to believe in myself. I also suffer from social anxiety. It's hard to deal with, you lose your self worth fighting with it.
Thank you one of my favorite Nollywood stars. Just know that I love you and think big of you. You are a true inspiration and I thank God to I’ve come across this.
WOW just WOW! I was truly blessed, strengthened and comforted once again. Thanks Mbasiti and Stella Damascus. God bless, preserve and uphold you.
Amen! We are Glad this inspired and encouraged you, ma’am.❤
I am happy that I was able to listen to this interview to the end. I pray that God will continue to lead and guide her.

Awesome God thank you for helping me to come across this, SD you are a very wonderful person.It's seven years of widowhood for me.But this has really blessed me. CONGRATULATIONS SD.❤
It's good to hear from Stella again. Despite all the...you'd always remain loved by some of us. People go through so many things and only God knows, but I admire and love your threshold, courage and confidence, despite the odds. The Lord is your strength. Keep being strong!
Stella my dear. I've always loved you and I love you still. Thanks for being real, no faking it, so down to earth and fun to listen to 🎉
My love for this woman is something else. Stella you are a power house. Keep looking unto Jesus!You are an inspiration to many.I love your strength dear
I’m literally in tears listening to Stella , you are such a strong woman , I always know , I love you so much .stay strong ma .
I am so happy that you guys are talking about this; you must know yourself before marriage. Don't listen to anything anybody has to say because it is your life. Again, l want to thank Stella for being so vulnerable and also for her growth which is why she is able to give the numerous advice she has given. No human being has the power to control you; this is so deep and apt.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are glad you took lessons. Please share to inspire someone else.❤️
Thank you so much Stella. It's a long one but trust its so inspirational that I didn't get tired watching at a go. I've always admired you and this one just added to the ❤❤ and administration. I'm actually not a widow but I've learnt a lot!!!!!!
I am just watching but I am sooooo glad i watched till the end. Thank you Ma for sharing your story.
Its really not easy hun. You are a brave lady. It's not easy losing a love one. I lost my mum in 2011, my husband April 2021 and my dad October, 2021. Only a fool will judge Stella. It's really a hard road going that path sis. Much love 💘
I can really relate to Stella's experience. I actually grow up with stella in Benin. We lived two blocks apart and my mum is from the same village with her Dad. Stella was pampered growing up because she was the last of five girls. I am so sorry stella for all you went through. May God keep helping you to continue to heal.
Thank you Stella. You have always been loved ❤by me. Hearing you talk makes me love you more. Sorry for all you have been through. ❤❤❤
Wow. This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story
Wow am glad I had from you
It makes me to start working on my self, wish to hear more from you again and again 💕💕
Your story is so similar to mine dear. I understand the pain of loosing a good man. Mine I used to call him J too and the tears can't stop dear. Please take heart
I cannot believe, i am crying listening to this.Well done woman
Thank you Stella for sharing and so sorry for all you've been through

Thank you Mama. All the lessons from your 3rd marriage are lessons I picked and will continue to run life with as I journey through this transition phase of my life.
Lovely, thanks for the encouragement. That's why I never judge people. I'm a recent widow by the way
So sorry to hear about this. May God comfort you and fill up every vacuum.❤
Wow, this is beautiful. Thank you Mbasiti for inviting her, indeed the society is something else . Please keep the vision alive.
Indeed it is. Thank you Ema, for the feedback, and you are welcome.🙏🏽🌹
This is wonderful,Thank you ma'am for sharing, am in a place now that it feels like i just woke up from an abusive marriage of 15 years 3 children,spend 14 years forgiving and beging my ex husband to be a father to our kids.i just realized that i am enough and i decided to walk very very far away from abuse,i know God is with us and will akways be.
Thank you, ma,am once again.
Am so blessed with your testimony. I am making a step out of this stressful and manipulative relationship just for the sake of one child. I have picked a lot to deal with the situation. Thank you woman of God.
We wish you the very best. Prayers up?🙏🏽🌹
Thank you for sharing your story. Honestly I have heard bits of it before now. It made me pray and be solemn. I am grateful you are better. May the Lord continue to shine His light upon you. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you
I just subscribed to your page because of this interview with SD. Thank you so much
Our society has to grow out of labeling Widows who return to work soon after they loose their husbands. They have to feed too, they have to cloth their children and life must go on. Its sad that the people who complain are the same ones who have little to support the family.
First time I tried to like a comment twice and noticed I had already liked it. God bless you, I know this came from your heart. Most of the Nigerian society are not merciful to widows, and those esp ladies who had even one child out of wedlock.
I have always admired Stella Damasus from movies and even with all the name callings on media then, i always felt deeply within me that she must be going through a lot that many people don't know. I have always Loved You Sis and still will. Thank God you have healed enough to tell your story and also encourage singles!
Stella, I didn't know much about you until when I followed your story here . Your life story is not an encouragement message for women alone but to everyone. I am highly encouraged and strengthened. God bless you 🙏
God bless you and may He give you abundant peace Stella. I feel so encouraged by your courage. I am 2 years widowed. Thank you my dear.
Well done stella. I've missed you for years. I am a fan of yours in Nollywood industry. I love youu
MILLIONS THANKS; DARLING!
WE ARE IN IT TOGETHER ❤️ 💪!
I love this video a lot. I respect people's feelings. Stella and Omotola are the two people i love. Loving them didnt even require me looking into their lives. I just love them irrespective of their flaws. She is strong and i love the fact that she acknowledged God. I learnt a lot from the video, it is like teaching me how to express what am going through. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.God will see you through your season too and give you answers and direction.🙏🏽🌹
Thank you Stella, I have learnt something from u today because I also lost my husband last year. It wasn't easy too. God is in control.
Congratulations on your book. I am super proud of you.
Remain blessed❤
Stella you’re blessed.
Thank you for staying alive.
Thank you for being there for your children. And keep doing that.
God bless you Stella. ❤
It is well dear sis, big hugs from here. I lost my husband too, its been 5yrs & I still grieve. Little things still trigger it & my emotions run everywhere. People don't know what widows go through & they talk & tongue lash them. I stumbled on this video & just wanted to listen to your story because I know I can relate with it.
Thank you Mbasiti and Stella for taking us through a unique ride and sharing such great experiences. The lessons are innumerable and i appreciate. Love you all!
