The grieving process has been a "daily journey" for Trina, who describes moments of both tears and laughter as she and her sisters reminisce about Traci. While they know Traci would want them to forge ahead, Trina acknowledges that the healing process has not been easy, as "whoever said time heals all wounds, they lied."
As the Braxtons navigate new life milestones and challenges in season 2, Traci's spirit will undoubtedly continue to inspire and guide them, ensuring her legacy lives on through the sisterhood she cherished.
