Citizen Tv presenter Willis Raburu posted a series of instagram stories shairing how much pain he has been going through after the loss of his child. He wrote;
“I used to take some things for granted like walking with a bounce on your step and having a good day or a goodnight sleep, or the ability to laugh without feeling guilty. These are the pages of my life. I am a creative, so to heal sometimes I have to write and I have to share because that’s just how I know to deal,” he said.
“I am a creative, so to heal, sometimes I have to write and I have to share because that´s just how I know how to deal with. If I don´t, then I close myself and I can sink into depression and angst can take over.
You know when Tyler Perry said that he heard Oprah say that ´writing is therapeutic´, I thought, ´how can this be?´ How can putting you feelings down be helpful?
I tell you what though, it is imperative that you find an outlet to deal with your pain. And one day when we are ready, we will share our whole story. I still hurt each day, I still get flashbacks, I still cry, I still grieve and I do so privately but the effect and outlet are sometimes public and I´m not ashamed of it.
Raburu and his wife Mary recently lost heir child. Her wife had a still birth. We wish them all the best.
