During an emotional segment of the "Today" show which aired in September, the news anchor talked about the book she wrote in honor of her three deceased grandparents.
The 38-year-old lost two grandparents in 2018, starting with the former First Lady Barbara Bush who passed away in April followed by the death of her husband, George H. W. Bush in November. While Hager's maternal grandmother, Jenna Welch passed away in May 2019.
The mother-of-three got emotional as she read pages from her book on the show and also disclosed that the book's title originated from a Bible passage she read at her grandmother's funeral last year.
The author of "Sisters First" suffered another loss in August when her father-in-law, John Hager died. The family held a small memorial with only five people due to the ongoing pandemic.
Hager read a poem by Mary Oliver at the funeral and also shared a heartwarming tribute to the man on social media. However, the 38-year-old is coping with her losses by promoting her new book and she is also excited to be back on the set with her fellow co-host, Hoda Kotb after months of social distancing.
