The man, identified as Collins, is said to frequently visit the grave, located in a village in Elgeyo Marakwet county. At times, he visits after consuming alcohol to numb his pain and sorrow.
Reports indicate that the two siblings were very close and shared a strong bond, which makes the loss of his sister deeply traumatic for Collins.
When did Collins’s sister die?
Collins lost his sister earlier this year, and since then, he has been struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Those familiar with him revealed that the siblings had faced rejection from their father. He refused to acknowledge them, stating they were the children of a single mother who had been married elsewhere.
Despite this, they found strength in one another, their bond unshakeable in a world that didn’t always accept them.
Now, with his sister gone, Collins is left not only with his grief but also the heavy burden of facing the world alone.
The image of him lying on the grave has sparked an outpouring of reactions online, with many offering words of encouragement and sympathy.
