“Kuna hizi maknkn zinaniambia ooh you are drinking too much, take it easy on yourself, ooh as much as ulikufiwa. Kufiwa alafu ukuje uniaddress nyef nyef. Mungu hajaenda midterm akakutuma ukuwe judge wa maisha yangu,” she stated firmly, while sipping a drink. Translated, her statement accuses critics of judging her grief and reminds them that their opinions are unwanted and unasked for, emphasizing that she is the only one who can decide how to cope with her loss.

Nyaboke’s words come after she bravely opened up about her personal struggles in the wake of Marie Achieng’s untimely passing in July 2024. The cause of her eldest daughter’s death remains undisclosed.

In a recent emotional revelation, the actress detailed how the profound grief had rendered her unable to perform even the simplest daily tasks. Confined to her room, she admitted to using alcohol as a means of coping with the pain, spending much of her time drinking in isolation.

The actress also shared that a close friend had to actively encourage her to leave the house and engage in physical activity, highlighting the depth of her struggle and the supportive network around her.

Marie Achieng was laid to rest on August 10, 2024, in Kisumu County. During the emotional eulogy, Nyaboke expressed the intense pain and heartbreak she felt – a sentiment that continues to resonate as she navigates the difficult journey of mourning her beloved daughter.
