Award-winning Kenyan actress Catherine Kamau, widely known as Kate Actress, has been devastated by the death of her beloved grandmother. The actress, who had just celebrated her 38th birthday a few days prior, took to social media on Wednesday to share the heartbreaking news with her followers. In a deeply emotional post, Kate expressed her sorrow, writing, “This one hurts so bad. Shushu please come back,” as she bid farewell to the woman who had been a significant figure in her life.
To honor her late grandmother, Kate posted a poignant image of herself with her grandmother, both smiling together in happier times, along with a black rose—a symbol of mourning. Her message resonated with many, and Kenyans rallied to offer their condolences, sending comforting words and prayers to the grieving actress during this difficult period.
Many of Kate’s followers shared their sympathies, with messages such as: “May she rest in peace,” from Jacque Mamake Trivia, “Rest in peace, shosh,” from Zion Gal, and “Hugs love, it’s well,” from Joy Samuel. The heartfelt comments from her fans and friends have helped her feel the warmth of the Kenyan community’s support.
This tragic loss comes after Kate Actress celebrated her birthday in a more subdued manner than usual. In contrast to last year’s vacation with her lover, this year’s celebration was quieter, reflecting the sorrow that would soon follow. This marks yet another painful chapter in Kate’s life, as she previously shared the loss of her aunt in January 2023.
As Kate mourns her grandmother’s passing, her fans continue to offer their unwavering support, reminding her that she is not alone during this challenging time.
