"There's a part of me that's so afraid that he's going to die that I don't even want to have a relationship with him," she shared. "If something were to happen to him, now I'm closed off enough to where, I would be devastated but I feel like I've been trying to grieve the loss of him little by little so when it happens it's not a big bang."Savannah said watching her mom, Julie Chrisley, go through the death of her brother when he was younger was "heartbreaking." "I have to mentally and emotionally prepare myself that when that time does come that I step in and I'm going to have to care for my parents because they'll never be the same," she elaborated. "It's the only way that I know how to protect myself. Which is, just by letting Chase know, what he's doing is wrong and it's going to lead to a terrible endgame."
