After staying together for more than 10 years, Terryanne Chebet lost her nanny after a short illness. 

Her death affected her and the family since the nanny was so close to them and they loved her. 

The nanny died while in Terryanne's house. 

"When she passed on, she was in the house, with the kids alone. I had gone jogging at Ololua forest, my kids called me in a panic, called my landlord. By the time they got to the hospital, it was too late," she said. 

Speaking to Mpasho, Terryanne shared that the loss of her nanny left her heartbroken, and emotionally weak. 

 "She was very close to us, sometimes i ask God; Why? I had to pray and accept that this is what God has chosen. Grieving for me was long and hard, and it really affected my daughter. It affected me from working, my relationship with people. I just wanted to be alone." 

The sudden loss of their family member left Terryanne's firstborn daughter broken. It took the help of a counsellor to make her understand why it happened. 

"I have a friend who is a counselor, she went and stayed with her for about 2-3 weeks. I had a lot to do, in and out of the morgue because I had to organize everything. We will never understand, but God will give us peace and comfort," Terryanne narrated.
