Residents of Kapsabet town were left speechless after a man was found weeping uncontrollably at the cemetery late into the night, hugging a freshly filled grave. Security guards who patrol the cemetery initially thought he was mentally disturbed or possibly intoxicated.
But when they approached him and asked what he was doing, the man broke down and revealed a haunting confession that he had been in a secret relationship with the woman buried there for over 12 years.
The guards, stunned by the man’s emotional state, called local authorities. What unfolded in the next few hours gripped the entire community. The man, identified only as Patrick, a 45-year-old married electrician from a neighboring estate, claimed he had been in a long-term affair with the deceased woman Janet, a respected nurse and mother of three without anyone ever suspecting.
According to Patrick, their relationship began over a decade ago when he went to Janet’s clinic for treatment. One visit turned into several, and before long, a romantic entanglement had formed.
Despite both of them being married to other people, they kept their relationship alive through secret meetings, hidden phone numbers, and occasional out-of-town getaways.
What made the revelation even more shocking was that Janet’s husband had delivered a heartfelt eulogy just two days earlier, painting her as the perfect wife and mother. No one not family, not friends suspected that she had been leading a double life.
Patrick told authorities he couldn’t bear attending the funeral with the rest of the mourners. “I knew I didn’t belong there,” he sobbed. “I had no right to stand beside her casket or say goodbye. But I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t come see her one last time.”
He admitted to sneaking into the cemetery alone each night since the burial, talking to her grave, and leaving flowers. “She was my soulmate,” he whispered to one officer. “She understood me in ways no one ever could. I know how wrong it was… but it was real.”
As news of the confession spread, it ignited a storm of mixed emotions. Some labeled him a homewrecker, while others sympathized with his grief. Janet’s family, upon hearing the confession, reportedly reacted with anger and disbelief, demanding an investigation to confirm the man’s claims.
However, what most people didn’t know was that Patrick’s life had started falling apart long before Janet’s death. He said he had been plagued by nightmares, guilt, and insomnia for months, especially after Janet was diagnosed with a mysterious illness that doctors struggled to treat. He believed that something deeper—possibly spiritual—was happening.
In a desperate bid to save her and bring peace to their relationship, Patrick had secretly reached out to Kiwanga Doctors, seeking both protection and a healing solution.
He explained his situation, and they offered him spiritual guidance and herbal remedies for Janet’s health. Unfortunately, by the time the remedies were prepared and delivered, it was already too late Janet had passed away suddenly in her sleep.
Patrick said he continued working with Kiwanga Doctors afterward, not only to find emotional healing but to protect himself from the heavy spiritual torment that followed her death.
He was experiencing strange dreams, hearing Janet’s voice calling him, and waking up with unexplained scratches. It felt like her spirit was restless—and possibly angry.
With the help of Kiwanga Doctors’ cleansing and reconciliation rituals, Patrick said he began to sleep peacefully again. He even said he was guided in a dream to visit the cemetery, not just to mourn but to confess the truth. “They told me in a vision that my silence was part of the unrest,” he explained. “Only by speaking out would I be free.”
Although his confession stirred public backlash, Patrick believes it was necessary for his peace and for Janet’s spirit to rest. He now visits her grave only during the day, with the family’s permission, and has pledged to stop living in secrecy.
To those struggling with unresolved grief, secrets, or guilt, Patrick offers a word of advice: “Don’t bottle it up. Seek help. Even if it’s spiritual. You can’t fight some battles alone.”
