Just 25 minutes ago, Sadie Robertson Huff, granddaughter of Duck Dynasty icons Phil and Kay Robertson, took to social media with an urgent and heartbreaking message. From West Monroe, Louisiana, Sadie revealed that her beloved grandmother, Kay Robertson, is now in a serious state of physical and emotional decline following an emotional breakdown brought on by the recent death of her husband, Phil Robertson.
The news has sent a wave of sorrow through the Robertson family’s extended community, as fans, friends, and loved ones rally around “Miss Kay,” who has long been cherished as the heart of the family — known for her steadfast love, nurturing spirit, and unwavering faith.
“She’s not doing well,” Sadie wrote. “Our sweet Kay is heartbroken, and it’s showing in her body now. Please, we need your prayers more than ever.”
According to Sadie’s message, Miss Kay has been experiencing extreme fatigue, disorientation, and bouts of silence, rarely speaking since Phil’s passing. Family members have reportedly stayed by her side around the clock, but the toll of losing her husband of over 55 years has become almost too much to bear.
“We always said she was the glue,” Sadie added. “But right now, the glue is cracking under grief. We’ve never seen her like this.”
The love story between Phil and Kay Robertson became a central part of the Duck Dynasty legacy — a powerful example of forgiveness, healing, and the transforming power of faith. Miss Kay stood by Phil through his darkest years, praying him back from the brink of destruction and helping lead him toward the faith that would eventually define their lives and their message.
But with Phil now gone, Kay is said to be struggling to find footing in a world without him.
“She told me, ‘It’s like half of me is missing.’ And she meant it,” Sadie shared through tears in a short video message.
Medical professionals have reportedly been brought in to monitor Miss Kay’s condition closely, and the family is seeking both physical and emotional care for her. However, Sadie emphasized that what her grandmother needs most is prayer — strength from the One she’s leaned on all her life.
“She’s tired. Her heart is broken. But we believe God is still near. Please lift her up with us.”
The Robertson family has received an overwhelming outpouring of love and support from fans across the country, many of whom credit Miss Kay’s wisdom and strength with helping shape their own lives and families.
As they walk through this valley of sorrow, the family remains united in hope and in faith, trusting that the God who carried them through so much will not let go now.
“She’s still here. She’s still fighting. And we believe that love and prayer can lift her, even now,” Sadie wrote. “Thank you for standing with us.”
