Actress Nyaboke Moraa has read the riot act to fans advising her to seek professional help following the death of her beloved daughter.
In July 2024, Moraa and digital marketer Blak Aende lost their firstborn daughter, Marie Achieng.
The grieving parents posted heartfelt messages on social media, although the specific cause of her death was not disclosed. Actress Sandra Dacha, a close friend of Moraa, informed fans of the tragedy and asked for prayers for the family.
Is Nyaboke Moraa struggling with daughter’s death?
Some fans noticed that Moraa was not doing well and asked her to see a therapist. However, she did not see the sense in doing so and posted a tearful video responding to the advice.
“There is nothing as painful as death,” she said.
Moraa noted that she is not ready to see a therapist and explained why.
“I am already a therapist for myself. A therapist is someone who will take the money I should be using to buy milk for my kids.
They will tell me things I should tell myself. If I block their advice, it will not help me in any way. A therapist will come in when I’m ready. My brain has not accepted listening to a therapist – I must be ready.”
Numerous Kenyans agreed with her viewpoint and sent her prayers during this difficult moment.

“Therapy is KSh 30k per session, so how much do you think she needs to spend until she’s okay?”

“If you think about it, there’s no name for someone who has lost a child. Whether she’s depressed or not, she loved her child, and that child passed on. Her pain is valid, and it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone. Feel seen, Nyaboke. Feel understood. As someone who has lost a child before, I hold space for you.”
mrembolily:
“She has a point. It is okay for one to express their feelings/emotions. There’s a saying that goes, ‘Who feels it, knows it.’ One has to be ready to accept help; otherwise, it won’t work if it’s forced.”
