Candice Miller is expressing her grief. 

The influencer—who is one half of lifestyle blog Mama & Tata with her sister Jenna Crispi—opened up about her heartache one month after husband Brandon Miller died at the age of 43. 

“Candice is devastated by the loss of her soul mate," a family spokesperson told the New York Times in a statement Aug. 8, "and her two young daughters’ lives are forever impacted by the loss of their beloved daddy.”

Her heartbreaking message arrives as new details emerge about Brandon's cause of death.

The real estate mogul, who passed away on July 3, left behind a note that indicated he had died by suicide while Candice, 42, and their two daughters were vacationing on Italy's Amalfi Coast, a Suffolk County law enforcement official told The New York Times. Brandon—who was allegedly millions of dollars in debt in the years leading up to his death—was found "unconscious" in his Hamptons home before being transported to Suffolk County hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, the outlet reported. 

E! News reached out to the Suffolk County Medical Examiner and the Suffolk County Police Department for comment but has not heard back. 

Following the tragic loss, Brandon's sister Maurley Miller also shared that she was "devastated" over her brother's passing. 

“What people aren’t discussing in all of this is the loss of my little brother, someone I have loved unconditionally,” she said in a statement to The New York Times Aug. 8. “I have a hole in my heart that will never be filled."

Prior to his death, Brandon served as managing partner at Real Estate Equities Corporation and lived with his wife and kids in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. 

Candice—who met Brandon as kids in the Hamptons before tying the knot in 2009—previously gushed about their lifestyle as a family of four, sharing that spending time at home together was often the highlight of her days. 

"On most days," Candice told Mini Magazine in 2019, "what I really look forward to is arriving home, and sitting for dinners with my husband and my girls, followed by some very yummy snuggles before bedtime, where we all profess our love for one another over and over again."
