Raaj on Sort Your Life Out broke down in tears
Stacey embraced her during the emotional moment
In Wednesday’s episode, fans were introduced to the Smith family which consisted of three nieces and nephews, Simarn, Harjoth and Gurkeet along with mum and dad, Raaj and Roydel, and their son Ajay.
The family blended after Raaj took in her sister’s three children after she heartbreakingly passed away during the Covid pandemic.
Raaj did not hesitate to move herself and her family into her sister’s home in order to raise her children herself in a commendable move.
Speaking of being forced to confront reality and move into the home without her sister, a devastated Raaj said: “Coming into this house without my sister felt painful but I instantly felt I had to look after these kids and fulfil what my sister wanted for them.”
During one particularly sentimental scene, Raaj was forced to confront holding onto many of her sister’s jars of spices, including some of them empty.
Telling Stacey about why it was so special, Raaj said: “I always remember her cooking and keeping spoons in there…it is just so much of her personality and her hands have touched this.
“I just don’t want to lose that memory.
“I feel like if I take those things away those memories will be lost and I live for these memories, I want to see them.”
Raaj acknowledged that parting with the spice jars would be forcing herself to face reality surrounding her sister’s passing, something she had been avoiding at all costs.
Stacey was on hand to comfort her as she gently helped her to look over the items during the sensitive moment.
Raaj soon became tearful as she said: “She was my best friend.”
Stacey threw her arms around the grieving sister in a bit to offer a level of comfort.
The team managed to transform their home into a much more practical and enjoyable space for the family of six.
Fans online were left in tears at the emotional episode as they were left moved by Raaj and her incredible gesture to raise the children.
One fan penned: “Just something in my eye that’s all – #SortYourLifeOut is wonderful.”
Another added: “Actually shed some tears at the reveal.”
A third shared a meme of being in tears, as they added: “Live footage of me watching tonight’s #SortYourLifeOut.”
While a fourth admitted: “Might have had a few things in my eye tonight. This family.”
