Stay connected and find comfort, whether you’re planning, contributing, or grieving from abroad. When you are in the diaspora, distance can make loss feel even heavier. This section offers guidance on supporting funeral plans from afar, sending contributions safely, and staying part of family decisions.
Diaspora
For many Kenyans in the diaspora, loss back home comes with a double burden. Not only do you face the pain of losing someone you love, but you also carry the ache of distance. The phone call announcing the death feels unreal, and by the time you’ve processed it, you’re already scrambling for flight prices or checking livestream links.
Losing a loved one while living abroad is a layered pain. Beyond the grief itself, there’s the ache of distance — being unable to hug your mother, sit with cousins, or take part in the rituals that make loss feel shared. You’re left watching updates unfold through WhatsApp groups and phone calls, your mourning filtered through screens.
