¨Now she is a beautiful angel¨ TV presenter Willis Raburu pens touching message following his loss

The pain of losing a loved one is unparalleled especially if it hits closer home. Citizen TV anchor, Willis Raburu and his wife lost their first child in the most disturbing of ways.

As we ushered in the new year and savored the last ´free´ weekend left, the 10 over 10 TV host decided to share his tear-filled moment with the world.

Through social media, a dear Willis started off:

Over the past few days my heart has been shattered and torn in to several pieces. The pain I have felt has been immeasurable and one that words fail to aptly capture. It has left me with several questions and literally reset my outlook on life.

This was definitely not a good sign and a moment not worth celebrating.

Work break

He went on to admit it was indeed a burden too heavy to bear alone and something that saw him press pause at work.

I may not be able to share the full extent of it all but I cannot bear it alone. I am therefore going to be taking a short break from work and my duties on @1010fanpage @citizentvkenya @hothappyhour and @hot96fmkenya to allow for my wife and I to get through the motions.

He however affirmed that his absence did not mean his shows come to a halt, rather, several people would be stepping in for him though failed to disclose for how long.

While I am away several people will be holding fort for me, the shows will go on. I want to thank them in advance for heeding the abrupt call to action. Saying thank you for those in the know who continue to lift my wife and I in prayer and ask that you continue to do so up until the time I will be back on your screens and on your radio! I love you all, you make me who I am. See you soon. Successful people look like you! WABEBEE!

Daughter´s loss

Further digging revealed that the admired power couple had lost their unborn child after wifey, Marya Prude developed complications that led to a still birth.

God called out little baby angel home. We got into labor but there was some complications and a clot so we pushed out a stillbirth! My heart is completely broken. She is such a beautiful baby, now she is a beautiful angel.

Narrating the ordeal, Mr Raburu shared:

I want to thank you all for the support during this time for the comfort and the love, for getting Mary fit and ready. She did so well at labor. We are trying to be strong but we are absolutely devastated. I know it will be hard even for Nessy when she hears the sad news but tell her to take heart as well.

Pretty heartbreaking for the soon-to-be parents to wait for a daughter they would never hold in their arms but they gave it all to God.

We were all waiting for a baby but God called her home. My angel Adana is on the other side now looking over us and we will do her proud. One day at a time. We will be quiet and away for a while but we will be back.

Messages of comfort carried the day as fans, fellow personalities and Kenyans at large sought to held the couple´s hands during these trying times.

May the little angel find eternal rest as the couple finds comfort during their lowest.
