The Braxton family has gone through some excruciatingly tough times throughout the past year. They’ve lost several loved ones, with the most recent being the Braxton siblings’ niece, Lauren “Lolo” Braxton, who passed away on April 29, 2019.
Now, Trina Braxton is speaking out about how her family’s doing after Lolo’s passing, and she also revealed what she has discovered following her niece’s tragic death.
“The family’s holding up as well as can be, you know. There was the passing of Gabe (Trina’s ex-husband), and then there was the passing of my aunt -my dad’s sister- and then there was the passing of my brother’s daughter, Lauren.
You know, it’s really crazy because our family’s been truly blessed, because it’s never hit our home before…never [hit] our brothers, our sisters, our parents, but it’s still family…it’s been very trying.”
Here’s what Trina has now learned:
“When you lean on each other, that’s when you know that…time is too short to do stupid crazy mess. When a family experiences a loss, grief is imminent.
And at the end of the day, when you wake up and you think about the people that you have contention with -your friends, your family, it doesn’t matter who they are -as long as you have breathe in your body, there’s still time to make amends. There really is, because life is too short to hold onto grudges and to hold on to things that just don’t really matter, because you wake up and you just wonder, ‘What was I fighting about in the first place?’ And…none of that matters anymore.”
Trina also has revealed that her beliefs are helping her to cope with her grief:
“I like to use the acronym, END- Energy Never Dies. So, when someone passes away, they’re still with us…forever.”
Well said, Trina…
