Akothee’s Heartfelt Letter: Grief, Anger, and Reflection on Suicide

Kenyan singer and entrepreneur Esther Akoth, widely known as Akothee, has recently shared a deeply emotional message addressing the tragic death of her brother-in-law, who is believed to have taken his own life. Her poignant letter, posted on Instagram, reveals not only her profound grief but also her complex feelings of anger and confusion surrounding his decision.

In her message, Akothee expresses sorrow for her brother-in-law’s death, but she also voices her disappointment and frustration over his choice to end his life. She notes that his decision has left his family, particularly his children, devastated. “Dear Brother-in-Law, I don’t have the strength to judge you for the decision you made to end this journey,” Akothee writes. “I might want to ask why you didn’t reach out to me or even to your nieces and nephews, but maybe you thought everyone was caught up in their own problems.”

The letter, accompanied by cherished photographs of her brother-in-law, is both a tribute and a cry of anguish. Akothee questions why her brother-in-law chose to leave behind his wife, children, and other loved ones. She reflects on the impact his death has had on his family, especially his mother, who had recently lost her husband. “But now, allow me to ask—what about your wife and your children? Omuga and the others? Daudi, did you not think about your mother, who has been a widow for just a year? Why were you so selfish, Odebi? You’ve broken my children’s hearts,” she laments.

In a revealing moment, Akothee shares that she, too, has faced moments of despair and contemplated suicide. She candidly admits that her children were the reason she chose to fight through her own struggles. Her revelation underscores the depth of her pain and her struggle to understand her brother-in-law’s actions. “You were brave to do this to us, an SDA man. You know you were the apple of your mother’s eyes. I’m deeply worried for our sick mother-in-law,” she confesses.
