Singer Gigi de Lana admitted that she was severely affected by the untimely passing of her mother, Imelda de Lana, last May after six years of battling breast cancer.
In an interview with Toni Gonzaga, Gigi said she was considering quitting her career as a singer as she couldn’t find any purpose in performing anymore since her mother’s passing.
“Sa ngayon, hindi ko alam. Para akong naliligaw pa rin until now, lalo na noong nawala ang mom ko. Tsaka noong nawala si Mama, yung mundo ko, sobrang bigat,” said Gigi.
“Para akong inalisan ng kaluluwa sa katawan ko, kasi siya lahat every time na kumakanta ako. Siya yung motivation ko, para sa kanya lagi, until now,” she added.
According to Gigi, she was blaming herself for the deterioration of her mother.
Gigi strongly believed that her mother might still be alive if they treated her condition earlier.
“Sinisisi ko kasi ang sarili ko kung bakit siya lumala nang ganyan. Kasi wala akong pera, una, hindi ko siya mapagamot. Mag-isa lang ako, at siya lang din yung lakas ko, siya lang,” she said.
Currently, Gigi was trying to find a reason to accept her mother’s passing by thinking that her mom could now rest without the need to battle cancer.
