Margaret Wamaitha, a woman from Nairobi, courageously shared the heart-wrenching and agonizing experiences she went through while losing six precious babies. With tears streaming down her face, she recounted the trauma and the harsh judgment she faced during these profoundly emotional moments.
A photo captures the raw emotion of Wamaitha as she narrates her ordeal, her pain visible in every tear. She revealed the cruel labels and accusations she was subjected to, with some people going as far as claiming she was cursed or plagued by a dark cloud of bad luck. The weight of these words and beliefs was unbearable for her.
In her vulnerable state, Wamaitha disclosed that she received ill-advised suggestions from people around her, some even urging her to consult a witch doctor in the hopes of finding a solution. These misguided recommendations only deepened her sense of hopelessness and despair.
Unfortunately, the opposition Wamaitha faced was not limited to society alone. Even within her church community, she encountered criticism and blame. Pastors would use her story against her, labeling her as stubborn and suggesting that God was punishing her by taking away her children. Some even had the audacity to imply that she was sacrificing her kids. Each word pierced her heart, compounding her pain.
Despite the immense challenges she endured, Wamaitha found solace in her surviving child, Precious, a strong and vibrant girl who became her pillar of strength. However, the loss of her seventh-born child marked a turning point for Wamaitha. She made the difficult decision to close the chapter on attempting to have any more children, acknowledging that her situation was beyond her control.
