Mortician's Emotional Journey: Five Years in a Kenyan Mortuary

In Kenya, the Obina Show Live recently hosted Colloblue, a mortician who revealed the emotional challenges of his five-year career. He described the job as emotionally demanding, saying, "It's not just about handling bodies; it's about dealing with the grief of families." Colloblue emphasized the lack of adequate support systems for morticians, highlighting the need for grief counseling and destigmatizing the profession. He stated, "We need to talk more openly about death and offer support to those who work with the deceased and their families." Colloblue's interview underscores the importance of addressing the mental health of those in often overlooked professions and promoting open conversations about death and grief.
