Vanessa Kiuna, daughter of the late Bishop Kiuna, recently broke her silence on social media, posting a heartfelt tribute to her father months after his passing.
This marked her first public statement since the family laid the beloved spiritual leader to rest, revealing the depth of her grief and the impact of the loss on her life.
In her emotional post, Vanessa opened up about the difficulty she has faced over the past few months.
“It’s been a hard few months, and I didn’t feel inspired,” she wrote, explaining her absence from social media.
Now based in Australia as an advocate, Vanessa chose to step away from the public eye to cope with her sorrow privately.
She shared a video of a man offering advice from a millionaire, which she said reminded her of a meaningful conversation she once had with her father.
“It aligned so perfectly with a conversation I had with my dad @bishopkiuna,” Vanessa wrote, reflecting on the wisdom her father had imparted to her before his passing.
In her message, Vanessa expressed the deep void left by her father’s death, saying, “I miss you deeply daily.”
However, she ended her post with a hopeful outlook, expressing a desire to move forward while cherishing her father’s memory.
“May this new month be filled with inspiration,” she concluded, signaling her readiness to embrace a fresh start.
Bishop Kiuna, who passed away on July 9 after a battle with cancer, was a prominent figure in his community.
His death was mourned by many, and he was laid to rest on July 17 in a moving ceremony at JCC Paradise in Thindigua, Kiambu County, attended by family, friends, and countless supporters who came to honor his legacy.
