Kenyan media personality Amina Abdi Rabar has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late mother, expressing the pain of losing a parent and the future moments they will never get to share.
Amina Abdi Rabar is mourning the death of her mother after sharing an emotional message describing the deep ache of losing someone she believed should have been there for a lifetime.
The Kenyan media personality opened up about her grief in a tribute published on Instagram on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, reflecting on the questions she still wanted to ask her mother, the experiences they had yet to share and her desire to make her proud.
In the message, Amina struggled to reconcile the reality of her mother’s death with the belief that a parent should remain present through the different stages of a child’s life.
“I think anyone who has lost their mum understands this deep ache. It feels wrong because they aren’t supposed to go. Like, sasa ameenda aje? My mum? Ebu arudi, there is still so much I needed to ask her, so many moments we were supposed to share, and a lifetime of things I still wanted to do to make her proud,” she wrote.
The presenter also described her mother as an irreplaceable presence in her life, saying she continued to feel the loss every second.
“They really should be immortal. I miss my mum every single second. My Hoyoo, my Ayo, my heartbeat. ‘Sigh, life has to move on, I guess,’” Amina wrote.
Amina accompanied her message with a video showing moments she spent with her mother in hospital, where the older woman had been admitted and was receiving treatment.
The footage added a personal dimension to the announcement, showing the pair together during her mother’s hospital stay.
While Amina Abdi Rabar officially addressed her mother’s passing on October 21, 2026, her sister, Shukri Abdi, originally shared the tragic news much earlier on September 4, 2026.
The family has not publicly disclosed the exact cause of death, and further details about burial or memorial arrangements were not included in the reports available at the time of publication.
