Marya Prude Opens Up About Letting Go of Late Daughter’s Hospital Bag Six Years After Her Death

Media personality Marya Prude has shared the emotional journey of parting with her late daughter’s hospital belongings, revealing that it took her six years before she could bring herself to open and let go of the hospital bag.

Speaking on Monday, July 6, 2026, Marya reflected on the lingering grief following the loss of her daughter in 2019, saying she held onto the bag for years because she was not emotionally ready to face its contents.

“I had all that, and I got rid of them last year, on her birthday. I couldn’t open the hospital bag. This was in 2019; that was 2025. That was six years after,” she said.

‘I wasn’t ready to let go’

Marya explained that keeping the hospital bag became part of her grieving process, describing it as a painful reminder of the child she had lost.

She said she eventually found the strength to part with the belongings on what would have been her daughter’s birthday, marking a significant step in her healing journey.

Recalls the day everything changed

The media personality also revisited the events leading up to her daughter’s death, saying her pregnancy had progressed normally until she unexpectedly went into labour.

“Everything was perfect until the day I started contracting, when I went into labour,” she recalled.

According to Marya, she immediately contacted her doctor after experiencing contractions, expecting to be directed to a hospital for urgent medical attention.

‘I believe it was avoidable’

Marya said she believes the outcome could have been different had she been advised to go straight to the hospital instead of first visiting her doctor’s clinic.

“Do I think the doctor could have done better? Yes. I think it was avoidable. It was avoidable,” she said.

She explained that despite seeking medical guidance as soon as she noticed something was wrong, she was instructed to report to the doctor’s clinic before being referred to the hospital.

“I called the doctor when I started feeling some type of way. Instead of telling us to go to the hospital, he told us to go to his clinic,” she said.

Marya believes valuable time was lost in the process and that the outcome may have been different had she received immediate hospital care.

Reflecting on the heartbreaking experience, she said the loss remains one of the most painful chapters of her life, even as she continues to navigate the long journey of grief and healing.
