“I was really paralyzed by this news when I got it,” Cynthia said on her podcast Humble Brag. “I didn’t really know what to do, what to say. I knew that I couldn’t text. I just felt like I had to pick up the phone and call, and I did, and to my surprise, she picked right up. Then I was really surprised, because I didn’t expect her to pick up.”
“First I was like, ‘You didn’t have to pick up. I just wanted to call. I didn’t feel like a text was the right thing to do, and I just wanted to call you and say I love you and I’m here for you and I’m so sorry for you and your family,’” she shared.
Cynthia revealed that Mary kept saying “it’s okay.”
“One of the things that she just said, ‘It’s okay,’ She just kept saying, ‘It’s okay. It’s okay.’ And it just felt like, I think there’s levels, there’s shock, there’s just processing the reality of the situation,” she said.
She added that Mary is “pushing through” and praised her for her “strength” as a mom.
“So continue to love on Mary. No matter what, I know that this is just devastating for her,” Cynthia added.
Robert Jr. passed away at the age of 23 at the end of February in a possible overdose. Mary returned to social media to share a tribute to him over the weekend.
