Being the woman who gave birth to Kiernan, Lynn has always been honest about her journey of healing from the pain, and while things seem extremely tough, she’s been the glue that holds their family as well as the Megacy (AKA’s fan base together.)
In a recent Instagram story, she compared “grief” to an earthquake.
“Grief is like an earthquake. The first one hits you and your world falls apart. Even after you put the world together again, there are aftershocks, and you never really know when those will come,” she wrote.
