As most Kenyans were commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, one Dorcas Kemuma was crushed under the weight of a type of pain no human should go through.

Kemuna lost three people, who were very close to her heart on Christmas eve, through a road accident.

“An accident has claimed my people’s lives. My husband, Duke. My son, Dylan. My mother-in-law, Salome,” she said in a tweet.

The woman also revealed that her other child is fighting for his life in hospital after sustaining serious injuries.

“My other son, Dwight, is fighting for dear life at Tenwek Hospital,” Kemuna said.

She asked Kenyans to lift her in prayers, as the pain was just too much.

The devastated mother went ahead to share a cute video of her late husband playing with their sons just days before the tragedy.

Thank you for your condolences.
I'm broken, scared and alone😫😭

This is among the last moment I got to share with my friend -who is also my husband- and my son.
