Tamar sought closure regarding Traci’s passing by visiting spiritual advisor Taz Singh. As previously noted by Trina, there had been many disagreements between Traci and Tamar. During a spiritual connection, Taz conveyed Traci’s desire to say “I’m sorry”to Tamar.
“She says, ‘Before I passed, I did a lot of things that I wish I could do differently. I love each and every one of you. Just remember you are my baby. And what do we do when we have a baby? We protect you and that’s what I did with you,’”said Taz.
This revelation left Tamar tearful on The Braxtons as she expressed her love for Traci and hoped for another opportunity to be a better sister.
