"Personally, I feel like there’s a level of guilt associated with moving on with my life and thinking of mom and dad not being here during certain life events," Savannah said in a conversation with Medders, who is engaged to her brother, Chase.
According to Page Six, the 25-year-old said, "In my mind, I’m like, ‘I can’t move on with my life,' Until I know that they’re going to be there, I can’t get married. I can’t have a kid." Savannah told Medders that she felt like she was “grieving the loss of parents that are still alive.” In response, Medders said, “You can’t just stop your life. And your parents, our parents, wouldn’t want us to do that, no matter what happens."
Speaking about her father, Savannah said that Chrisley told her to keep moving on. She said, "Dad was like, ‘I may not be here in front of you, but I’m still alive. I’m still fighting. You don’t have to live a day without speaking to me,’” she reportedly said.
Recently, Chase spoke out about their family's situation, wherein his parents were going away, telling Savannah that it felt like they were “going through hell.” “It is a terrible, terrible situation but I have to try to find the good even in the darkest times,” he reportedly said. “I feel like throughout everything that we have been going through has made me appreciate things that I did not appreciate as much in the past.” he added.
