“Also, just family … being there for me when I was down and when I wasn’t feeling right and when times get hard,” said Brown. “They're still there because it doesn't stop. It's not like it just goes away. It's gonna be with you forever, but it's about dealing with it and really paying attention to yourself. Paying attention to how you're feeling that day and letting somebody know how you're feeling that day. You know, not keeping it inside."
Brown’s comments come ahead of the 10th anniversary of daughter Bobbi Kristina’s death. She died from a combination of drowning and drug intoxication at age 22 on July 26, 2015. Brown also lost his son, Bobby Brown Jr., at age 28 to a drug overdose in November 2020.
Houston died at age 48 on Feb. 11, 2012. Brown and Houston were married from 1992 to 2007 and Bobbi Kristina was their only child.
Brown spoke fondly of the late singer on the show as he shared that he misses her to this day.
“She taught me a lot, about life and love and about living right … she is definitely loved and missed in my heart,” he said.
In May 2022, Brown spoke to PEOPLE about how he remembers his late children as he shared that he still sees them in his dreams.
"I always see them at beaches or in fields," he said at the time. "They're running away, but they're laughing. And they're always together. I didn't have many dreams about Bobbi Kris before Bobby Jr. died. But then all of a sudden — floods of dreams."
He said of his reaction to their deaths, "I've cried, but not how I want to. I really want to just scream to the top of my lungs and cry, but it's just not there." Brown added that his wife and kids Landon, LaPrincia, Etheredge, Cassius, Bodhi and Hendrix help him get through his darkest days.
