‘The Husband I Knew Is No More There’ – Joke Silva Shed Light On Marital Journey Challenge

Joke Silva has shed light on her marital journey challenge.

 

In a candid interview, Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva has shed light on the challenges she and her husband, the renowned actor Olu Jacobs, have faced in their marital journey.

In a recent interview with renowned media personality and actress Nancy Isime, Silva opened up about the impact that Olu Jacobs’ illness has had on him.

In a discussion about the impact of her husband’s ongoing struggle with dementia, the actress took a moment to reminisce about the formative years they shared as a couple.

In a statement, she revealed, “It has been a challenging journey.” They expressed a moment of profound acceptance, acknowledging the undeniable veracity of their current circumstances. Drawing a poignant analogy, they likened their experience to that of a spouse who, regrettably, seems to have vanished from their lives for a staggering 80 percent of the time.

In a remarkable display of devotion, it is worth noting that during his time there, he exhibited exceptional qualities as a father to his children and a husband, earning him the title of practically being the user’s closest confidant.

Silva opens up about the profound changes that have taken place in their relationship. The once familiar figure of their husband seems to have vanished, leaving behind a different individual. However, despite this transformative shift, a deep and enduring love still resides within the speaker’s heart for the person who now stands before them.

In her words, “We have been married for 37 years but we have known each other for 42 years, we were dating for 5 years before we got married.

“It has not been easy, in the early years of our marriage, we didn’t even realize the marriage has started, it took a lot of acceptance because I was like why are you behaving like this? There was a point of acceptance for me that everything happening is reality and it is like the person I married, 80 percent of the time is no longer there.

“But the thing is this when he was there, he was an incredible father to his children and an amazing husband, he was practically my best friend.

“So in this journey of dementia now, is like I am looking after my father. The husband I knew is no more and there for me but this man that is here is someone I still love”
