12, 2025 - Media personality Ciru Muriuki has shared a deeply personal
reflection on grief, revealing how the loss of her father and fiancé, actor
Charles Ouda, profoundly reshaped her emotional world.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Ciru described how losing her
father several years ago introduced her to the pain of grief.
“Before 2020, I did not know what grief was until I lost my
dad, my dad and I were very close,” she wrote.
His passing from COVID marked her first true experience of
emotional devastation.
“He caught COVID and died, that was my first true experience
of grief,” she added.
However, the death of her fiancé, journalist and actor
Charles Ouda earlier last year brought a different kind of heartbreak - one
that tested her spiritually and emotionally.
According to Ciru, grief doesn’t fade with time but becomes
something people learn to live with.
“Grief taught me patience, more care for people, much
compassion,” she said.
She explained that the journey through loss has taught her
to value time, embrace each day, and cherish the people around her.
Ciru emphasized the importance of allowing oneself to feel
deeply, noting that suppressing pain only delays healing.
While some days are easier than others, she said grief has
helped her build emotional strength and gratitude.
Ciru hopes her story encourages others to be gentle with
themselves and find comfort in community.
“Love never ends… Memories of loved ones remain a lasting
source of peace and strength,” she concluded.
