Gospel singer Kambua has just learnt about Blue Christmas and she is asking her fans how they are if they are experiencing one.
According to Wikipedia, a blue Christmas is one where some churches in Western Christian denominations hold a church service that honours people that have lost loved ones and are experiencing grief.
On her Instagram, Kambua asked;
"The holidays can be extremely difficult when navigating #loss and #infertility … it’s almost like a tangible blanket of heaviness that wraps you up and sits with you. I recently learned about a #bluechristmas (in honor of those who are grieving and dealing with loss). How are you doing? How are you navigating the holidays? What can your community do, to make it easier for you? Go on… I’m listening."
The 'Usiku Na Mchana' hitmaker has been speaking out on her podcast dubbed 'Being Kambua' which she describes as a safe space that breaks stigma and taboos surrounding women.
On this podcast, Kambua recently opened up about miscarriage. She said her first child would have been six years old this year.
"My name is Kambua (@kambuamuziki ). I am a mother of two (or three, or four)? Nathaniel is my 4 YO, and Nathalie is my 1+. My baby boy Malachi would be 2, he Lives in heaven now. My first baby would have been six. So you see how complicated it is for angel moms to introduce themselves… some people get it, others don’t, and that’s ok."
"I began this community because I realized the shocking ignorance surrounding infertility, miscarriages, child loss, and overall maternal health.We can’t carry on with business as usual while women (and men) are falling through the cracks." She wrote on Instagram
"In this space you will get educated, you will learn how to sympathize and empathize. We will, together learn how to hold space for one another. Because when we know better, we do better. For every person who feels that they don’t have the courage to share their story publicly as my guests graciously have, it’s ok. We will speak for you.I love you all for being here." she wrote
