Dalawang araw makalipas ang pagpanaw ng ina, ngayong Sabado, Enero 31, 2026, naglabas si Marjorie ng saloobin via Instagram.
Ipinagpasalamat ni Marjorie sa Diyos na nakapiling niya si Inday sa mga huling sandali nito.
"Our Mom, Estrella “Inday” Barretto, passed away peacefully last January 29. It took me some time to post, as I was still processing every emotion while making funeral arrangements.
"These feelings were made even more raw by the loss of my brother just four months ago," bungad ni Marjorie.
Sabay inilarawan niya ang magandang alaala niya kasama ang ina.
"In every trial that comes my way, I have always felt God’s guidance, protection, and grace.
"I felt His grace most during a quiet afternoon a few days ago at the hospital, when I had my mom all to myself for a couple of hours.
"Just the two of us. Mom trying her best to be her usual chatty self, speaking more slowly, yet with a mind still clear and sharp.
"Without me even trying to be funny, she laughed so hard at my stories.
"That time was priceless."

MARJORIE-INDAY RIFT IN OCTOBER 2025
Hindi kaila sa publiko na noong October 2025, nagkasamaan pa ng loob ang mag-inang Inday at Marjorie.
Nagpainterbyu si Inday kay Ogie Diaz at sinabi ng Barretto matriarch na hindi sila magkasundo ni Marjorie.
Hindi raw maintindihan ni Inday kung bakit "hot and cold" sa kanya ang anak, at nakakaramdam daw siya ng "rejection" mula rito.
Pinabulaanan ni Marjorie ang tingin niya'y paninira sa kanya ni Inday para pabanguhin daw ang reputasyon ng "youngest child" nito na si Claudine.
Nilinaw ni Marjorie na hindi raw niya kailanman kinahiya ang ina, at hindi totoong hindi niya ito iniimbita sa family gatherings.
Si Inday daw mismo ang may gusto na huwag i-post ni Marjorie ang mga litrato nila kapag magkasama sila para raw huwag magselos ang iba nilang kapatid.

MARJORIE BARRETTO CHOOSES HEALING OVER PAST ISSUES
Wala man daw silang "closure" ng ina sa mga di nila pagkakaunawaan noon, sapat na raw kay Marjorie ang panahong nasa tabi siya ng ina sa huling hininga nito.
"But the greatest grace was 2 days after in the morning she passed away. I was in her room with only my sister Michie and Marichi. It was peaceful and quiet. A moment I truly believe God orchestrated and one I will hold close to my heart always.
"They say we don’t always get closure in life. Knowing God was calling my mom home, I believe He gave me something even greater, the chance to be with her at her bedside, a grace that allowed me to heal.
"Please keep our beautiful, feisty, strong, funny, and loving Mom in your prayers. She is now with Dad and my brother Mito," pagtatapos ni Marjorie.
Ang ama ni Marjorie na si Miguel Barretto ay pumanaw noong October 15, 2019.
Ang kapatid naman niyang si Mito Barretto ay pumanaw noong September 2025.
