The pain of losing a child was visibly etched on the face of Priscilla Murungi as she struggled to come to terms with the sudden death of her daughter, Anita Kendi, who passed away last week after a short illness.<\/p>\n
Speaking during an emotional tribute, the grieving mother broke down repeatedly as she eulogised her daughter, describing the loss as unbearable and impossible to fully comprehend.<\/p>\n
Priscilla, the wife of former Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi, said she still found it difficult to understand why her daughter had left \u201cso early and without warning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fighting back tears, she said Anita\u2019s death had left a void that words could not explain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can only pray and hope that you are in a better place as we continue to endure the unbearable pain of losing you,\u201d she said softly.<\/p>\n
The emotional atmosphere deepened as her voice began to crack while addressing family and mourners gathered to honour Anita\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n
Priscilla prayed for strength and comfort for the family as they navigate the painful season of grief.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pray that God will comfort us as a family,\u201d she said before pausing briefly, overcome by emotion.<\/p>\n
As tears rolled down her cheeks, the grieving mother recalled the treasured moments she shared with her daughter, saying those memories would remain with her forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, time will help reduce the pain. Personally, I know that the scar will always be there. Every time I remember you, I will always remember those beautiful smiles, warm hugs, and intimate moments we shared to help me move on,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
At one point, her voice completely broke as she admitted that life would never feel the same again after losing her daughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am sure that my life will never be the same again,\u201d she said emotionally.<\/p>\n
In perhaps the most heartbreaking moment of her tribute, Priscilla directly addressed her late daughter, expressing the deep love and longing she still carried in her heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever you are, just know that I\u2019ll miss you,\u201d she said while weeping.<\/p>\n
Moments later, overcome by sorrow and despair, she tearfully added, \u201cI will always love you. Rest in peace, my dear daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anita Kendi\u2019s sudden death has left family, relatives and friends in mourning, with tributes continuing to pour in from leaders and those who knew her.<\/p>\n
Recounting the final moments of his daughter Anita Kendi, former Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi said she fell ill shortly after attending a conference of African women researchers at Windsor Hotel in Nairobi.<\/p>\n
Kiraitu said Anita complained of headache, nausea and vomiting before she was taken to hospital for tests and treatment.<\/p>\n
After returning home, she appeared to improve and went to sleep, saying she wanted to return to the conference the next day. <\/p>\n
However, at around 4 am, the family rushed her to The Nairobi Hospital after she developed complications, where doctors later confirmed she had no pulse.<\/p>\n
\u200e\u201cThe doctor later came back and told me she had no pulse. And so that\u2019s the story. It was that bad,\u201d Kiraitu said emotionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mama Priscilla Murungi weeps while eulogising daughter\/SCREENGRAB The pain of losing a child was visibly etched on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[31],"tags":[126041,6742,113354,80,351,126038,126039,126040,352,98,100,36736,353,101,350,99,126042],"class_list":["post-248502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-kenya","tag-anita-kendi","tag-daughter","tag-grief","tag-kenya","tag-kenya-news","tag-kiraitu-murungi","tag-mama-priscilla-murungi","tag-mourn","tag-star","tag-star-news","tag-star-news-kenya","tag-star-newspaper","tag-star-newspaper-kenya","tag-the-star","tag-the-star-kenya","tag-the-star-newspaper","tag-trubute"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@africa\/116622954887995796","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
