JULIE GICHURU OPENS UP ABOUT GRIEF AND SURVIVING THE LOSS OF HER THIRD BORN SON

Losing a loved one can create a pain so devastating, it feels as if there’s a void in your soul that can never be filled again.

But we have to keep moving, when TV personality Julie Gichuru lost her third born son she was absolutely devastated, “Back in the day as part of the new team at NMG – we had just conceptualised and launched NTV.

At a personal level I had suffered the greatest tragedy of my life, the loss of our third born.

We named him David, and like King David in the Bible we had to find the courage to live on in faith. We pleaded with God to hold us tight through the agony. That faith was everything.

He has never let us go. When He holds you tight, even with a broken heart you can smile.

In these difficult times, hold on to faith, courage and grace, for it is through these that He holds us close. Stay safe and well 🙏❤”

In 2005 Julie lost her son, “My house help was feeding the child, he got choked, rushed to the hospital, the doctors managed to resuscitate him, but later could not stand the amount of adrenaline injected in his body, the boy left us,” she said.
