Savannah Chrisley is opening up about her first Easter celebrations without her parents!
The oldest daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley has been candid about her feelings since the family’s heads’ joint imprisonment. The patriarch and matriarch received a sentence of nineteen years for tax evasion and fraud charges.
Following their incarceration, the 25-year-old became responsible for the younger Chrisleys — her brother Grayson and niece Chloe. The “Chrisley Know Best” star recently updated fans about how it felt to mark the holidays without her prominent family members.
Savannah Chrisley Reveals It Was ‘Tough’ Commemorating Easter Without Her Parents
Over Easter, the Sassy By Savannah founder gave her Instagram followers a glimpse into her holiday celebrations. The entertainer shared a picture of her home’s backyard on her IG story.
The lavish property featured a gorgeous patio surrounded by lush greenery. In front of the lounging structure was a tiled pool area with comfy outdoor chairs arranged on the lawn beside the swimming facility.
Savannah captioned this image with her feelings about the holiday. “Tough day without mama and daddy,” the 25-year-old confessed before declaring that her family would overcome this difficult phase. “We can do it, though! Our resurrection is coming,” the entrepreneur affirmed.
The “Growing Up Chrisley” star’s joyous proclamation came just days after the TV personality lamented her parents’ absence. Per The Blast, the former Miss Tennessee Teen USA titleholder grieved about spending Easter without her loved ones.
Taking to her Instagram page, the blonde beauty shared a moving video featuring various pictures of herself with her family. The polaroid snaps were attached to the “Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley” podcaster’s fridge alongside handwritten bible scriptures.
Set to Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me,” a sad reminiscent song about childhood, the reel showed a collection of memories that emphasized Savannah’s love for her family and Christian beliefs. The handwritten religious verses included “Psalm 23:4, Romans 8:18, and Psalm 37:4.”
In the post’s caption, the media personality revealed that Easter did not hold its usual joy because it marked the first holiday without her folks. “As this holiday weekend rolls around, all I feel is grief. In 25 years, I have never spent a single holiday without my sweet mama and daddy,” the podcaster explained.

“Not only is Easter this weekend… but my daddy’s birthday is tomorrow,” the entrepreneur continued, noting that life was not the same without her parents. “When you lose someone special, your world lacks its celebratory qualities,” the 25-year-old penned.
According to the social media influencer, holidays magnified loss, increasing sadness and loneliness. The beauty pageant alum assured her followers that it was okay to feel down as the need for support increased during the holidays.
However, the goal was not to avoid one’s feelings but to channel them in a positive light. “It is not the grief you want to avoid; it is a pain,” Savannah claimed. “No one can take that pain away, but grief is not just pain; grief is love. I LOVE YOU, MAMA AND DADDY!”

As Todd continues to serve his 12-year prison sentence, the reality TV star is surrounded by love from his family. Last week, the patriarch marked his 54th birthday behind bars. Although his large brood could not be there to honor him on his big day, the entertainer’s children expressed their love on social media.
Savannah led the tributes on her Instagram page, sharing a picture of her once-happy family posing together. In the image, the Chrisleys posed together on a mountaintop, donning different fur coats while smiling brightly for the camera.
In her emotional caption, the podcaster revealed that her father had been imprisoned for eighty days. The 25-year-old noted that she missed receiving the real estate mogul’s goodnight texts before gushing about the love between her folks.
“My parents have also been together almost 30 years… and in that 30 years, never have they spent a birthday apart. So today… I imagine us all together in one bear hug circle!! #happybirthday,” the doting daughter penned.
Her older brother, Chase, echoed similar sentiments in his birthday tribute. On his Instagram page, the TV personality shared throwback pictures of himself and Todd alongside a declaration of love that partly read:
“Words can’t describe how much I miss you, this will be the first birthday of yours and mine that we won’t be together, but we are together in spirit.”
