I&#8217;ve carried the weight of being a single mom with no child support,\u201d she began, before adding, \u201cit was just me and my mom and my sister really, you know, raising these kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t until she died, when I was like, I&#8217;ve had to hustle: light bills, car notes, I&#8217;ve given cars back. You know what I&#8217;m saying? I&#8217;ve done all this stuff, but I don&#8217;t know how to do this. I don&#8217;t know how to let my mama die,\u201d she continued<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To work through the intense grief she was feeling, Turner said she had to start therapy almost \u201cimmediately\u201d after her mom died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI knew I had to get into grief therapy immediately. I think I started within a month, maybe even two or three weeks,\u201d she added. \u201cLike, I&#8217;m not going to be able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the caption of the post, the <em>Love It or List It<\/em> co-host shared even more insight into her grief journey, and how some of the hardships she&#8217;s faced began when her dad died when she was just eight years old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI&#8217;ve done hard things my whole life. Starting with when my dad died at 8,\u201d she wrote. \u201cSingle mom of 3 by 23.. Zero child support of any kind.\u00a0 Entrepreneur for 26 years. Built a career that put me on TV at 44. All by faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The designer continued, \u201cBut nothing, I mean NOTHING prepared me for losing my mom.\u00a0 I lost my breath AND my anchor.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Page Turner and her late mom Patricia Turner<br \/>Credit: Page Turner\/Instagram<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Turner noted how she&#8217;s normally able to navigate the hardships that life throws at her head on, but \u201cfor the first time ever, I couldn&#8217;t see straight, and I didn&#8217;t have a strategy\u201d she admitted. \u201cI knew immediately, that I didn&#8217;t have the tools for the waves of grief that I was already going through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During her therapy sessions, she writes she was able to explore not only her grief, but also, \u201cMy PATTERNS. My pain. My healing AND what I have avoided for years,\u201d adding, \u201cIt all became the thing that started setting me free.\u00a0 And in a weird way, along my therapy journey, I can say: Thank you, Mommy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the time of her mom&#8217;s death at age 85, Turner shared a touching tribute on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DLfu_xgSl93\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Instagram;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Instagram<\/a>, noting that she was by her mom&#8217;s side when she took her last breath.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After thanking her children for being there for her and their grandma during such a hard time, Turner then recalled a funny moment she shared with her mom while watching an episode of <em>Love It or List<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe last episode of <em>Love It or List It<\/em> my Mom saw a few weeks ago, she said \u2018Honey, you&#8217;re saying \u201cGonna\u201d too much,&#8217;
