THE TEARS THAT NEVER DRY UP By Juliet Wangari There has been an increase in deaths in the family. This is where the husband kills the wife and children or the wife kills herself and the children .Often the cause of these deaths are misunderstanding among the couple that’s leads to the death of either the whole family or some of the members. These are some of the common causes of problems that often lead to death. Infidelity: These happens when one of the partners has been unfaithful to other one .When one has been cheated on, it’s not an easy journey. People often question themselves and they feel like they failed to keep their union. This causes stress, anger and some even start abusing drugs to fade away the pain. When the pain gets stronger and they have no idea of how to cope with it, they think of death as the last option. Lack of communication: There is communication problem among married people. Most of the time we find that people hiding a lot from their partner. It can be problems at work, lack of money or any other problem that they are facing. We should encourage the couple to create time for them to talk openly about what they are going through, and what they plan to do in future. Money: This happens when there is no provision of basic needs. When the parents cannot provide for their children. They feel stressed and often have anger issues. This leads to a parent making some decisions like committing suicide or killing the children. Domestic chores: these domestic chores were believed to be a women job, but recently its has become a problem since even the women go to work. They wake up early and go to work when they get home they are also tired. We should educate even the boys that it’s not bad to help your wife cook or clean utensils since both of them are tired from work.
