Transcript

Hey girl, I know exactly how you feel. My 97-year-old grandmother just died of natural causes. This is my biggest fear. Don't worry queen, everything happens for a reason. Just trust the universe. This must be the worst pain in the world. I can't even imagine. This also happened to me two decades ago. And the pain never goes away. I know you're grieving, but OMG girl, you look so skinny. Eat something. Don't worry, they're looking down on you from heaven.
