Sara Haines is leading with love amid her family’s grief.
After her abrupt absence from the Sept. 16 episode of The View, the panelist shared the reason for missing out on the taping was due to the death of her husband Max Shifrin’s father.
“I wanted to share why I was missing yesterday,” Haines explained on The View Sept. 17. “My father-in-law passed away. He’s been in hospice for a week, so we knew it was coming, but I think the second that landed it kind of allowed a load you’re carrying for so long to gush out.”
And the 48-year-old got candid about the emotional impact of the update that left her “heart sick” and “head sick.”
“It’s the chapter we’re in, and we all be a part of this club eventually,” she continued, “but, wow, it’s brutal.”
As such, Haines—mom to kids Alec, 10, Sandra, 8 and Caleb, 7, with Shifrin—expressed empathy for her husband as he grieves the parent she called the 43-year-old’s “North Star.”
