On Thursday, the “Basketball Wives” star, 45, shared a picture of herself sitting next to her daughter’s gravesite, which was adorned with a colorful bouquet of flowers.

“It’s an Angel Mom thing,” she captioned the Instagram post. “Be glad you don’t understand.”

Bailey went on to say that she is “fragile and broken, and have felt sadness and despair beyond what words can explain.”

She continued, “My Child is gone from this earth and there is no pain as intense as what is in my broken heart.”

Following her post, she received an outpouring of love from several of her “Basketball Wives” co-stars, including Jennifer Williams, who wrote, “Love you Brooke.”

Brandi Maxiell commented, “I love you my baby,” while Jackie Christie added two heart emojis and a prayer hands emoji.

“You are so strong queen! I’m praying for your continued healing and may God comfort your heart in these hard times beautiful,” wrote former “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Erica Pinkett.

Bailey’s post comes two months after she revealed on social media that Kayla had died at the age of 25.

“Forever my baby, Pretty Black aka Kayla Nicole Bailey,” the reality star captioned a carousel of pictures of her daughter on Instagram on Sept. 25. “This is not a goodbye. Mommy will see you soon.”

The reality star said she has “felt sadness and despair beyond what words can explain” since her daughter’s death.
While Bailey did not disclose the cause and manner of Kayla’s death at the time, authorities later released a statement, revealing that she and driver Julius Weaver, 38, died as a result of a “fatal collision with a tractor trailer.”

After announcing Kayla’s death, Bailey — who is also mom to two sons — thanked everyone for their support and love.

“Kayla left a mark on so many lives,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. “She entered the room and demanded love, respect, and attention. If you had the pleasure of meeting her and being friends with her, she has forever changed your life.” 

So sad.
