Story of Kanze Dena

C&P
HELLEN KANZE DENA is a true definition of an overcomer. Hers is a story of deep pain hidden by smile and success.

Struggled with self esteem issues from childhood. Most of it related with family challenges.

Having cleared secondary school she got a job as a waitress. She also got a boyfriend whom she thought understood her challenging past.
Looking for love, she got pregnant. And everyone including her boyfriend walked out on her. She felt she had become a disappointment to her single mum.
Afraid of going back home to tell her relatives she had gotten pregnant, Hellen worked with an organization, went through counseling and got to sign forms to have her child adopted. And she wanted to do it in total secrecy.
But the plan didn’t work. During delivery, one of her friends tipped Hellen’s mother. She was shocked to find her mum at Pumwani Hospital soon after a successful delivery.
A young mother and a college student at the same time, she had to balance the roles. A caring Mama Kanze decided to take grand daughter Natasha with her to upcountry to allow Kanze focus on school work and final secretarial exams.
Sadly, three months after she was born, Natasha passed on. This got Hellen into depression that lasted more than one year.
She attempted suicide. Tried suffocating herself using a polythene bag but it didn’t work.
Months later she joined KBC as an intern gradually moving into TV as a news anchor.
She thought all was well until she got pregnant for the second time. This time she was in church and an active member. She started isolating herself again. She was all alone.
At three months of pregnancy she had a threat of miscarriage. The pain of receiving news of miscarriage led to her dropping out of campus. She discovered at seven months that the miscarriage never happened.
Within the same month her mother was diagnosed with advanced Colon cancer. She slipped into a coma for some time.
Two months after delivering her second baby, she attempted suicide - this time with a knife. She was a depressed mother.
Just after she slit her wrist, she heard her baby crying. Mama Kanze whom she was staying with rushed the crying baby to the mother. Upon enquiring where the blood came from, Kanze explained that it was an accident. She hid the knife under the bed.
She would later join Royal Media from KBC.
With her ailing mum relatives were always at her place. So she was never alone and that perhaps made it difficult to execute her plan.
Just after her son turned one year old, Kanze lost her mother. She succumbed to cancer complications.
Alone in her world she felt she was a failure to her son. She wasn’t a good mother to him.
In 2013, she attempted suicide for the third time. She was in Mombasa on a retreat and thought it would be ideal to end her life in the ocean. God saved her.
Despite her long journey of low self-esteem, Hellen has been moving from one glory to another.
Today she is the deputy spokesperson at the highest office in the land - Statehouse.
You too, your day is coming. Keep fighting

in 2013, with a good job and a son to take care of, she attempted suicide??? Well, congratulations to her but she doesnt have my sympathy.

That a sad story there, but remember even us, we’ve got past life laminations. So nothing big here.

Mental Depression ni mbaya…napenda kuwatch videos za Jay Sheety.

Behind the scenes… Pale shule yenye watoto yangu na ile.yake nasomea nikuwa sample…
Parents day… Uyo mama eti ni so special hawezi cheza na mtoi wake wazazi wengine wakicheza …you know the games…
Mtoto yake inakosa kufanya homework cz mamake alikuwa busy sana na mambo za news

ile mushene wanaume wa huku hupiga imeshinda hata ya wamama wa saloon

anybody who has ever attempted suicide will still do so no matter the situation. Technically they are cursed.[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]“…and she never woke up that morning, and that was how she was found dead in her room”[COLOR=rgb(204, 204, 204)] [COLOR=rgb(209, 213, 216)]is always the end of such stories.

Clinical depression is a mental disease that affects alot of people. we should avoid stigma and encourage them to get mental healthcare. she must be a very disturbed person. if she is not on medication right now, i can bet she might repeat the act.

So who is doing the cursing??? they are just sick people who need medical attention. not prayers.

you are sweetening suicide attempt to be “just sick people who need medical attention”. In all my life i have experienced first hand several cases of people who had committed suicide and you find that it is not the first time they are doing that. They have attempted it before. Once the thought of killing yourself has crossed your mind and you have tried, your days are numbered.

Where is the challenging past there. Among people who commit suicide I noticed moat try to live other peoples lives, standards or measure themselves with other peoples threshold.

Meet a people who have been through all shades of life. Rich, poor, marginalized, privileged convict, free, faith believer or atheist . Suicide was abd will never be an option.

Two kids with two different men and none wants to commit!

I live for the day when 5% of the world’s population will understand that your life depends on the frequency you’re on.

Exactly these are depressed people. we need to look out for depression among-st people close to us. men are the mostly affected. its a desiese and it is treatable.

@introvert iko maneno gipande hii.

Ghasia

Unplanned pregnancy twice? Eh! I expected someone her calibre to be wary about unprotected sex with a person you’re not married to. Or at least use contraceptives.

seems like a smooth sail to be. people got shitty life out here man. Real shitty life.

How does one attempt suicide using a polythene bag??? Obviously you will pull the bag off your head once you start suffocating. Alafu I thought people who slit their wrists slash a major vein so they can lose as much blood as possible, hii ni gani yenye unaamka tu unaanza kunyonyesha mtoto? Sounds like a serious case of attention whoring.

Stop hating…hiyo mowoman ako sawa na siwes mind
