I Lost My Child at 1 Week Old | Iyanla: Fix My Life | OWN

In response to a letter requesting assistance, spiritual life coach Iyanla Vanzant travels to Maryland to help Alexis with her mother Carrie who has been lashing out with angry words and violent actions. Iyanla soon realizes that below the surface the bad situation is far more complex than immediately apparent and learns that Carrie's husband Will had invited 14 freeloading family houseguests into their home, without her permission. After sending Carrie away for the day to diffuse the situation, Iyanla is shocked to hear the family refer to Carrie as a "witch" and is saddened upon learning that her anger and drinking started years prior upon losing her first born to crib death. Iyanla quickly ascertains that it is not just Carrie with issues, but it is the whole family, all 14 of them packed into one house, that is to blame for its problems. Iyanla is overwhelmed by emotion upon hearing of Carrie's tragic loss and how her family has chosen to denigrate her, rather than understanding the painful reasons behind her actions. For the first time, an emotional Iyanla is not sure if she can help.

She needed that hug and cry. Probably the first time she felt not attacked and criticised in a long time

[@sylviarosario6503]

The grief we carry to put our needs aside and help entitled and ungrateful family members. Been there, done that. NEVER AGAIN.
