Page Turner from HGTV’s “Love It or List It” opened up with boyfriend Mike Hill on their “Between Us” podcast about the weight of the world crumbling beneath her feet after her mom, Patricia Ann Helen Turner, died in June 2025.
Turner shared that not only did the devastation of losing her mom create a barrier between herself and her being able to provide for her needs, but the death also left her vulnerable to the life ahead of her.
The HGTV host explained how she was faced with having to essentially be by herself. With three kids as a single mother, Turner mentioned the uncertainties of her income at the time: would she be able to pick herself back up and work to be able to give her children the life she felt they deserved — or would she collapse into the brokenness of her heart?
The real estate expert said that the worry of not being able to provide the type of life that her mom poured into her was nearly enough to wreck her.
But it didn’t… Turner said during her podcast, “I didn’t know how to let my momma die.”
How Page Turner Kept Going After Her Mom Passed Away
She quickly realized after her mother’s passing that everything she was doing to manage her home life, including finding ways to pay for her bills on time and shuffling finances from here to there in order to stay afloat, was seemingly done in the image of her mom and the life lessons she learned from her.
With no father figure in the home for her daughters Zaire, Qai and Quincy, Turner shared that she and her mom took care of her girls together as a team. It wouldn’t be until her mom passed away that she realized she now would have to be the sole person who her daughters looked to for comfort and protection.
The “Love It or List It” star shared a video clip from the recording of her podcast episode with Hill to her Instagram, where she captioned the moment with a personal reflection on just how much she had to navigate her way out of grief and into healing — to then, restructure a life fit for her family after the horrible loss.
“I’ve done hard things my whole life. Starting with when my dad died at 8,” Turner wrote. “Single mom of 3 by 23.. Zero child support of any kind. Entrepreneur for 26 years. Built a career that put me on TV at 44. All by faith. But nothing, I mean NOTHING prepared me for losing my mom. I lost my breath AND my anchor.”
Page Turner Talks About the Power of Prayer
“I’m a visionary & strategist by nature & both navigate me through this thing called life. And for the first time ever, I couldn’t see straight, and I didn’t have a strategy,” she continued. “I knew immediately, that I didn’t have the tools for the waves of grief that I was already going through & within a couple of weeks I found a therapist & started grief therapy.”
“And here’s the truth – it stopped being only about grief real quick & it became about ME! WTH was this lady doing?! My PATTERNS. My pain. My healing AND what I have avoided for years…it all became the thing that started setting me free. And in a weird way, along my therapy journey, I can say: Thank you, Mommy,” Turned went on.
The HGTV star added that holding onto her mom’s wisdom and love and pouring it into prayer was the ultimate fix to her broken heart and eventually, the key to her successful future.
“But let me say this very clearly … Prayer is powerful. But prayer + tools? That’s spiritual AND mental transformation,” Turner said. “And we don’t have to choose. I am learning to take it to God AND sit on that couch (or zoom LOL). That’s the real work: Both/and. Not either/or And that’s what we’re talking about… Between Us.”
