Five Months After Tragedy, Nyaboke Moraa Embarks on a Journey to Healing

Kenyan actress Nyaboke Moraa is finally taking brave steps toward healing, both physically and emotionally, five months since the tragedies struck that robbed her of the people she loved. In July 2024, Nyaboke lost her daughter and father-in-law to cruel death in quick succession. Since then, she has been candidly sharing her journey through grief via her social media platforms.

Candid Reflections on Grief

In an Instagram post, quite personal, Nyaboke let the world in on the depth of her sadness and how it‘s affected her everyday life: she had passed most of her time in her bedroom with the curtains shut down, using alcohol to numb her pain in order to sleep.

“I have been doing nothing but just sleep in my bedroom day and night, curtains not drawn, and drink myself silly to just get a few hours of sleep every day,” Nyaboke revealed.

Despite the depths of her despair, she spoke of immense gratitude for her friend Joanne Wanjala, who was there to support her through the hard times and urged her to take care of herself.

A Path Toward Recovery

Nyaboke, with Joanne’s assistance, has already taken the initial steps in another direction in life-one of healing. She starts her journey with a core element: physical activity aimed at recovery and balance for body and mind.

Exercise has been known to improve physical fitness and boost emotional well-being-skills that will prove powerful in seeing her through life‘s challenges. Nyaboke, on the threshold of this transformative journey, shines like a beacon of hope for many others similarly circumstanced.
