GRACE MSALAME TALKS ABOUT FINDING LOVE AND HER PARTNER’S LIFE THREATENING DIAGNOSIS

Celebrated media personality Grace Msalame has talked about finding love after a bad break up with baby daddy Paul Ndichu.

Speaking on Engage Talk, Msalame says she didn’t see him as a potential at first but he slowly won her heart, “I did find the love of my life. I held on to that hope even with trials and because of the years of just not knowing any better, I was jaded and damaged, so I hardly saw him as that at first. I still held back and didn’t give myself, but slowly he won his way into my heart and it melted. For the first time in my life, I felt safe, seen and heard and for me, that’s very important to exist in that environment.” 

Msalame further stated she was heartbroken when her partner received a life threatening diagnosis, “Well, that was put to the test in 2021. When my partner received a life threatening diagnosis that put everything on pause. For me, I was numb. I was angry and confused because after all this time, and we’ve been through a rough patch the year before I thought the worst was behind us. I didn’t think this could happen again. There’s nothing like facing death head on. That leaves you asking so many questions. Why now?  And of course, the thought of how do you start again and the older you get, it’s harder. I was angry. housebroken.” 

Grace also shared she is having financial challenges after losing two jobs, “After my partner’s illness. A year later. I lost two sources of income and with this economy that’s huge. They say when it rains it pours. It’s not a lie. Naturally in our family we are all introverts. Funny enough I withdrew even more from my friends, family, and the public life, purely because I just couldn’t feel like I could show up and I felt like my world was falling apart.

For the first time in my life, I’ve had insomnia and I have been up and I couldn’t understand, it’s hard when you have children and you don’t know what tomorrow looks like. How is this month going to end? It is difficult. I’m still in the thick of things. I don’t know what the future holds, only God knows what it’s gonna look like, my partner’s health condition, our finances and all of us as a collective. For me it’s a lesson, sometimes where you are is okay. It’s okay to not be okay.”
