NairobiCertain individuals cling to the final remnants of memory following the loss of cherished people, as they keep mourning until they ultimately recover.

A young woman emotionally described her final choice to make a carefully considered and intentional move following the loss of her father.

Monicah Njambi Kirubi chose to remove her late father's contact from her phone, acknowledging that it was a difficult decision.

How many digits did Njambi's father possess?

"I could have found the bravery to remove my father's number, but his memory will remain," she posted on her timeline.

Njambi posted a video demonstrating how she removed her late father's phone number from her device while still finding it difficult to accept his passing.

Her father had two phone numbers, each recorded under separate names, yet they had some similarities.

Every name was followed by heart emojis, indicating how much Njambi cherished her father.

Which institution does Njambi go to?

She browsed her contacts until she found her father's numbers, which she removed individually.

In both cases, she paused, as if reconsidering, highlighting the enormity of the choice.

The student from Kabianga University, nevertheless, remained firm in her choice and emotionally removed both numbers.

Every digital recollection of her father was erased with a simple swipe and tap, leaving behind only the memories she kept within her heart.

Kenyan people show support for Njambi following the removal of her contact details

Numerous people expressed empathy towards her, recognizing the challenge of the choice, and they filled her comment section with reassuring words.

Linda Junior Nandokha:

Mine, I was never aware of his number. I knew life after he had already left, and I was grateful to God for his death since I was just a child, but what I witnessed Mum enduring because of that man... I don't know if he ever found peace. I have always been able to forgive others for their wrongdoings, but this one I have not been able to forgive until now.

Jay D. Wanyonyi:

May his soul remain at rest in peace. God will be with you, dear.

Pesh Jayden Alvin Shantel:

Recollections are valuables that will never be taken.

Dear, he is watching over you from heaven.

Lucy Githui:

"Sending love your way."

Stake, even I have never removed mine.

"It shall be well."

Five expressions that should never be said to those who are mourning

In a different narrative, Ciru Muriuki used social media to inform Kenyans about five things they must avoid saying to those who are mourning.

A television host responded to typical expressions people use when someone has experienced the death of a family member.

One of the expressions she cautioned against was "It is well," which she considered among the most frequently used replies.

She claimed that situations are not good and that the expression suggests the grieving should not feel sorrow, as if losing someone is something to merely tolerate.

An expression she opposed was "They are in a better place," as she clarified that no location is superior to being with those who cherish and care for you.

Ciru expressed herself from a position of empathy, having experienced the loss of multiple close ones, such as her father and the person she deeply loved.
