Savannah Chrisley ‘feels grief’ over Easter weekend
The Unlocked podcast host shared that during the Easter holiday weekend, “all she feels is grief.” Savannah shares that in her whole 25 years, she has never spent a single holiday without her mom or dad.
Savannah also shared that her dad’s birthday is coming up. Todd Chrisley is born on 6 April and this will be the family’s first time not celebrating with the patriarch of the family. Savannah wished for Easter to be over: “OH HOW I PRAY FOR TIME TO FLY! Can it be Monday already? ????”

Fans are certainly willing to give her it as they flooded the comments section with love and well wishes.
Savannah says the ‘loneliness’ can feel isolating
The 25-year-old has somewhat struggled to adjust to life without her parents. However, she has bravely opened up about how she’s feeling: “The sadness deepens and the loneliness can feel isolating. Pretending you don’t hurt and/or it isn’t a harder time of the year is just not the truth for you.”
The reality TV star then encouraged followers who are going through a similar thing that they can get through the hard times. She advised that instead of avoiding the feelings of grief, lean into them.
Savannah says “happiness isn’t the same” since her parents went to jail. She shared: “No one can take that pain away, but grief is not just pain, grief is love.” Chrisley then signed off with a loving message to her parents: “I LOVE YOU MAMA AND DADDY!”
