Gospel artiste, Ben Cyco and his wife Wanjiru Njiru, have opened up on how death and grief affected their relationship.

Speaking on their podcast JoyRide, Wanjiru shared,

"I just saw how her sickness affected you in those two years she was sick. In those two years, I had seen how you were not able to help her and the strain that had on your family. At that time I felt if something like death happened me and you wouldn't survive."

Wanjiru however says she was shocked at the turn of events after the death of Joy Wairuri (Ben's sister) happened in 2020.

"I thought the grief would crash you and that you would become a shell of yourself. How I thought you would react and how you reacted is very different."

Ben says he only overcame that difficult period by the grace of God.

In 2020, Ben lost his younger sister Furaha to cancer. The late Joy had made her health struggles public via social media, and so her death broke many hearts.
