Savannah Chrisley, daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, opened up about dealing with the difficulties of spending the holiday without her parents while they are in prison.
On Wednesday, Savannah Chrisley, 25, posted a video to her Instagram page and wrote about her “grief.”
“In 25 years I have never spent a single holiday without my sweet mama and daddy. Not only is Easter this weekend… but my daddy’s birthday is tomorrow. OH HOW I PRAY FOR TIME TO FLY!” she wrote in the caption.
The reality star added, “Can it be Monday already?”
She also shared how she’s coping with the absence of her parents.
“When you lose someone special, your world lacks its celebratory qualities. Holidays magnify that loss. The sadness deepens and the loneliness can feel isolating,” Savannah Chrisley explained.
She continued to share how important support is for her “during the holidays.”

“Pretending you don’t hurt and/or it isn’t a harder time of the year is just not the truth for you. But you can – and will – get through the holidays,” she wrote.
Savannah Chrisley proceeded to give her followers tips on how to deal with their own loss.
“Rather than avoiding the feelings of grief, lean into them. It is not the grief you want to avoid, it is the pain. No one can take that pain away, but grief is not just pain, grief is love,” she shared.
She then went on to express her love for her parents.
In the video, Savannah Chrisley showcased pictures of her family posted on a refrigerator along with bible verses.
On March 26, she posted a sweet message to her brother and niece, whom her parents adopted, on her Instagram page.
“Life can really SUCK sometimes… but these laughs and smiles have shown me that beauty can rise from the ashes. Nothing is forever…. Until we’re all together again… it’s “The Three Musketeers,” she stated.
In June 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of “conspiring to defraud Atlanta banks.”
On Jan. 17, they reported to their respective prisons to serve out their combined 19-year prison sentences.
