when someone ask me "how am i" the tears automatically start rolling

“She was my niece from marriage but she was my friend and sister from the heart.” Beautifully said Tamera

[raymond]

I found this from TikTok when she cried I love tia and tamera with all my heart..

[rosaisela]

Omg the sadness in her voice kills me...
I don't know if you'll ever see this but Tam, it's okay NOT to be okay. 💙 God is with you.

[imalwaysright]

It’s only been 2 weeks, Tamera. It’s ok to not be ok

[tesssully]

"Tell me some more about Alaina"

I loved that moment, she could see Tamara needed to keep talking about her and gave her that space. Not just to talk about what happened but the person who was lost. That was really beautiful

[donjuan]

“I’m ok.” *immediately starts crying*
This goes to show how desensitized we’ve become as a society. She’s clearly not ok, nor ready to be back at work, yet we’re happy to see her back. She needs time.

[siamahlee]

Tamera just seems like the sweetest person. You can literally feel her heart as she speaks! Such a sweet soul.

0:36 That "I'm okay" with that fake smile represents so many of us sadly lying through our teeth hiding our pain and sorrows. I've never seen Tam so broken since S1. It truly breaks my heart to see her like that. I really wish for her strength and I'm sending love to her and her family 💕 🌻

I just realized she's wearing black because she's grieving.

“Tell me some more about Alaina :)”

I lost my dad two years ago, and people never know what to say when I reminisce about him and get emotional. What Loni said is exactly the right thing to say.

Just thought that was a cool moment of empathy :)

[natayleegivens]

I knew the moment she said "I'm okay" I knew it wasn't true. You can see the pain and heartache in her eyes. I like everyone else have never seen her so broken and it's heartbreaking to see her like this. I will continue to pray for her and her family, because losing someone you love is no joke.

[joannasaad]

Oh Tamera ☹ She should have taken more time off, still so raw 💙

[ylaincarterandthekids]

I saw her cry on tic Tok and I had to find out why she was hurt I am such a huge fan every since sister sister . So I look up this story and just let me say when I herd her say I'm ok , I can feel the pain she was trying to hold in and cover up and I began to cry with her losing someone that you are so close to may it be family or a friend especially at a young age and the way she past it's something that is so hard to recover. Her niece not only was she beautiful she looks as if she brought so much joy to her families life as if when she walk in the room she brought nothing but love n sunshine . I know that this happen a year or so ago but I pray for her family and any one who has lost someone in that way like she said this world needs more love more supporting each other life is to short . So my love I share with all. All lives matter no matter who you are I love you for just being you

[smolomega]

A friend of mine once said at our mutual friends funeral . Grief is all the love you have for that person . With no place to go. That’s why it builds and builds… and finally explodes into tears

[shakitashontajones]

I remember going back to work after my mom died. And the moment they asked how I was doing I broke down. I cried everyday, I took bathroom breaks often. It was only God who got me through this. I cry less but I still cry and I still can't believe it.

Time really is what it's going to take. Someday you think you are fine and the next thing you know you calling someone crying having a panic attack.
My heart go out to Tamera and her whole family, I know how close they are to one another.

[togundezainab]

My heart shattered when she said she was fine and started crying

[iseunifeoluwaakinkugbe]

I don't think people realize what a loving and pure spirit Tamera has. God truly outdid himself creating her; never before have I seen someone so true to her faith and convictions consistently even as a celebrity. Breaks my heart to see someone so special go through so much pain and grief. This world is full of too much tragedy.

[ExploringTheHorizon]

I watched it hundreds of times, and it’s still make me cry, I can tell the pain in your voice, it hurts.

"My friend and sister from my heart"
The tears started flowing the minute she said that 💔
