She said this during an interview with 'Cleaning The Airwaves'.
'It took a toll on me, on my health and mental well being. When he finally rested, it felt like a switch had gone off and my creativity felt like it was switched off, I didn't have the desire to sing or write'.
After going silent for sometime, Kambua released a song that was a tribute to her dad.
'It felt like a complete block, numb and darkness. God started to heal me. He died in Christ and I live in Christ, I wrote 'Tutaonana Tena' It helps people who are walking the path of loss'.
Kambua has learnt alot from her late dad something that she says has made her the woman she is now.
He taught me to try and ask when I don't know. He taught me not to settle but to be hungry for me. He was a very huge part of my life. He spoke life to me.
Kambua paid tribute to him six years after his death.
6 years ago today, my Father went to be with the Lord. It has taken me years to heal and fully come to terms with the loss. Grief is like unfamiliar, uncharted waters than no one can fully prepare you for. Grief is multilayered; just when you think it’s over, it reveals itself in a new light.
I have grieved the fact that he never got to meet my beautiful baby boy. I’ve grieved my fading memory, guilted myself for forgetting things I should remember about dad.
But I will never forget the sound of his booming laugh, nor the sparkle in his eyes, or the warmth of his hands… just as I will never forget how cold they were before he breathed his last
It has taken me many years to accept and understand that both grief and my hope in Christ can indeed co-exist. And this hope in no way nullifies the pain- it gives it purpose
God writes our stories, and in Him nothing is lost. Our present pain and suffering is nothing compared to the glory that will be revealed in us.
I am grateful that my father’s legacy points to Jesus. Keep resting in glory my Papa. 09/04/2014.
