Funerals: How to Ask for Support Without Guilt or Pressure
In Kenya, when loss strikes, family and friends rally together. It’s one of the most comforting parts of our culture: no one mourns alone. Yet behind the warmth of support lies an uncomfortable reality — asking for help can feel like a burden. Many worry about being “too demanding,” about overburdening friends, or about appearing ungrateful. But the truth is this: asking for support during a funeral doesn’t have to create guilt or pressure. With the right approach, you can invite others to stand with you in love, not obligation. Here’s how to do it in a way that feels natural, respectful, and easier for everyone involved.
