    Bobby Brown has been in therapy to "work through" his grief after the deaths of his two children Bobbi Kristina Brown and Bobby Brown Jr and former wife Whitney Houston

    The 56-year-old singer explained that he decided to see a therapist to cope with the grief that came with loss of his daughter and son in 2015 and 2020 at the ages of 22 and 28 from drowning and drug intoxication and a drug overdose respectively, as well as the passing of the 'I Will Always Love You' singer in 2012 at the age of 48


    Speaking on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' on Monday (19.05.25), Bobby said: "Lots of prayer, first and foremost, that absolutely took me to the point where I accepted therapy in my life. I accepted going to a therapist and really working out all of the issues that I had within me."

    The 'Every Little Step' hitmaker also revealed that the support of his wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown and his five remaining children - son Landon, 38, daughter La'Princia, 35, from his previous relationships with Melika Williams and Kim Ward respectively and son Cassius, 15, and daughters Bodhi, nine and Hendrix, eight, from his current marriage - has helped him heal through tragic times.

    Bobby said: "Also, just family... being there for me when I was down and when I wasn't feeling right and when times got hard.

    "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."

    The New Edition star was married to Whitney from 1992 until they divorced in 2007 and revealed that he still misses the music icon, with whom he had Bobbi Kristina.

    Bobby said: "She taught me a lot, about life and love and about living right... she is definitely loved and missed in my heart."

    The star previously revealed that he still sees his late children in his dreams.

    He told People in 2022: "I always see them at beaches or in fields. 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."
