Renowned Kenyan figure Victor Kanyari has shared his deep emotional pain regarding the seating arrangement during the funeral of his late spouse. In a candid statement, Kanyari expressed frustration and heartbreak over how he was positioned relative to his children:
“Sijafurahia jinsi sitting arrangement imepangwa. Mimi ndiye ninapaswa kukaa karibu na watoto wangu siku hii ya mazishi ya mama yao, sio Tash. Kwa kweli sijui kinachoendelea. Nasikia uchungu na wivu moyoni ninapoona watoto wangu wanaonekana kumpenda mwanaume mwingine kama baba yao, ilhali mimi bado nipo hai. Inauma sana.”
Kanyari highlighted the emotional struggle of seeing his children appear close to another man, someone being treated as a father figure in his absence. He described feeling hurt and confused, emphasizing that despite still being alive, he feels sidelined in the family’s mourning process.
The statement resonates with many Kenyans who understand the complexities of grief, blended families, and the delicate dynamics that emerge after the loss of a loved one. Kanyari’s openness offers a glimpse into the personal pain and emotional challenges faced by parents navigating such situations.
