Sheinelle Jones rejoins her TODAY family ahead of her official return to the show
AND HER GREAT LOVE. HERE'S SOME
OF THAT CONVERSATION.
>> WE'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY STRONG
FEAR KIDS. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN OR
EVEN YOUR OWN SORROW. BUT
YOU'RE ALSO WE SING 3 KIDS AND
CARRYING THEIR GRIEF AS WELL.
AND HOW ARE THEY DOING? HOW ARE
THEY HANDLING THEIR YOUNG
TEENAGERS? AND THAT'S WHAT
MAKES THIS HARDER. THERE ARE
TIMES WHERE IF I COULD JUST
STAY AND THEN KEEP THE DOOR
CLOSED. NOT ANSWER MY PHONE
AND JUST SIT. IT WOULD BE
AMAZING. I CAN'T DO THAT
BECAUSE OF 3 LITTLE BEINGS WHO
ARE WATCHING ME. NO ONE GIVES
SURE EMANUEL AND GRIEF AND
THERE REALLY ARE NO RULES ABOUT
IT. IT COMES IT UNEXPECTED
TIMES AND PLACES. I THOUGHT
GRIEF WAS LINEAR. YOU KNOW,
THERE WILL BE A DAY WHERE I'M
OKAY AND I WAKE UP,
EVERYTHING'S GOING MY WAY.
I'M OK, I'M GOING TO BE ALL
RIGHT. AND THEN I GET ON THE
ELEVATOR IN THE SKY GETS ON AND
HE HAS THE SAME TO WAR. AND WE
HAVE AND I START CRYING.
AND THE GUYS LIKE.
YOU KNOW, SO GRIEF IS NOT LIKE
TODAY. IT'S BETTER. IT'S
BETTER. IT'S BETTER. IT'S
BETTER. WERE THERE. GRIEF IS
LIKE A WAVE. AND WHAT I'VE TOLD
MY KIDS, IT'S ALMOST LIKE RAIN
CAN'T LAST FOREVER. AND SO WHEN
THE RAIN COMES IN SOME WAYS OF
LUNCH, JUST LOOK UP AT THE RAIN
AND LET IT BECOME A CLEANSING
RIGHT IN AND LET IT CLEAR THE
AIR. AND SO I DON'T RUN AWAY
FROM CRYING ANYMORE WHEN IT
COMES TO GRIEF. I SEE IS LIKE
OKAY. HERE COMES MY CLEANSING.
RAIN AND IT'S OK. AND I WAS
FOR BETTER. AND THEN I GO BACK
TO WHAT I'M DOING IN TOTAL FEAR
IT ANYMORE. WE'VE ALL HEARD
THE SAYING THAT GRIEF IS JUST
LOVE WITH NO PLACE TO GO.
AND SO WHEN IT COMES NOW.
LIKE OKAY. IT CAN COME. WE CAN
SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN
LOOKING AT SOME TO COME.
YOU'RE YOU'RE RETURNING TO WORK
NOW YEAR, IT'S BACK-TO-SCHOOL
TIME. IT'S BACK TO WORK FOR YOU
THIS SEASON.
IT'S DIFFERENT. IT IS. BUT
YOU'RE STILL YOU STILL ME.
AND THAT IS WHY I'M HERE.
I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE FEVERS,
SLEE SEARCHED FOR.
USER, LIKE WHO CAN I ADMIRE?
WHO'S LOST HER HUSBAND? THAT I
CAN BE. I WENT TO YOUTUBE AND
I WAS TRYING TO BUY LIKE THE
CLOSEST THING TO ME. SO I
GOOGLED BLACK WIDOW. IT'S JUST
SPIDERS. THE EYE.
A CHANCE TO IF I STOP SEARCHING
FOR ME AND JUST BE ME BY KNOW,
THERE COULD BE PEOPLE WATCHING
ME IN HOSPITAL ROOMS AROUND
THIS COUNTRY THE WAY I KNOW TO
BE TRUE IS THAT ICU. AND I'M
PART OF THIS CLUB.
BUT CANCER DOESN'T HAVE TO
STILL ACTUALLY. WE CAN GET UP.
WE CAN GET OUT OF BED AND WE
CAN GO TO WORK. WE CAN GO TO
SCHOOL. WE CAN SQUEEZE THE MOST
OUT OF THE DAYS THAT WE HAVE.
AND HONESTLY, I FEEL LIKE CHASE
HEARTBEAT WAS ON MINE.
SO I OWE IT TO HIM TO SQUEEZE
THE MOST. I CAN SAY IT'S LIKE,
OK, WE'VE GOT THIS FOR YOU.
>> AND SO FOR ALL OF US WHO
ARE GRIEVING, IT'S LIKE, OKAY.
WE CAN AGREE THAT WE CAN ALSO
STILL.
>> TRY TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE
DO MOVE ON WHAT WE MOVE FORWARD
WITH OUR LOVED
ONES AND I HOPE THAT SPY ME
BEING ON THE SET AND NEED MORE
TIME TO WORK. IT'S LIKE, OKAY,
I CAN DO IT. SO CAN YOU.
>> ONE OF THE MOST HONEST
