Former President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump recently took to her Instagram account and posted a series of pictures with her mother, who passed away earlier this year. She penned a heartfelt note which reads:
“This is the first holiday season since the passing of my mother. It’s true: grief during the holidays can be harder than any other time of the year.
Learning to celebrate differently is a challenge. I am trying to be kind, patient and compassionate with myself and honor and make space for all of the emotions I am experiencing. New memories are being made, my children’s laughter is abundant, my 96-year-old grandma’s presence at our table brings us all joy, yet the void is undeniable. The loss of a parent is one of life’s very painful passages for which one is never fully prepared. It hits at the very core of your being. And it takes a good amount of time to emerge from how it dislocates you.
To all who have experienced the loss of a loved one this year, may hope sustain you, may good memories provide you comfort, may friends and family surround you, and may love give you strength 💫🌟💫”
Ivanka Trump was “visibly upset” after she attempted to persuade her father to call off his supporters as they attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, a report by the House committee investigating the riot found.
According to the report, released Thursday, Ivanka Trump, who served as a White House advisor during her father’s presidency, told the committee that she had unsuccessfully tried to reason with her father as his supporters ransacked the Capitol, and at one point retreated to the office of her husband, Jared Kushner, “because she needed to ‘regroup’ and collect herself.”
Witnesses backed up her account, saying she had appeared upset, and as though she had just had a “tough conversation.”
It has been noted that multiple witnesses told the committee of attempts to persuade Trump to intervene and try to stop the violence, which he refused to do, instead watching the attack as it unfolded on television.
