A New York City influencer has returned to social media nearly a year after her husband killed himself.
Candice Miller, who along with sister Jenna Crespi ran the Mama & Tata lifestyle guide, posted to Instagram on Monday a photo of a sun setting over water and a quote attributed to Albert Camus about finding strength in times of difficulty.

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer,” she wrote.
“And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger — something better, pushing right back.”
The Instagram account for Mama & Tata has since been deleted while the blog has expired. The last update on the guide’s Facebook account was made seven years ago.
Her husband, real estate mogul Brandon Miller, died at 43 of carbon monoxide poisoning on July 3, 2024, days after he was found sitting in his car at the family’s home in the Hamptons, People reported last August. He left a suicide note for his family.
He reportedly faced financial pressures leading up to his death.
A family spokesperson told the New York Times that Miller was “devastated by the loss of her soul mate, and her two young daughters’ lives are forever impacted by the loss of their beloved daddy.”
The Instagram post comes months after a report that said Miller assumed her husband’s $33.6 million debts following his passing.

According to a December report by the New York Times, court filings revealed the influencer owed $20 million in unsecured loans, including $11.25 million to BMO Bank, $2.1 million to UBS Bank, $300,000 to American Express and other money owed to family friends.
While Miller received $15 million in payouts from life insurance policies following her husband’s death, she forked out $4 million to settle an unpaid loan lawsuit, the report added.
Their Hamptons home, which reportedly was financed through four mortgages totalling almost $12 million, was eventually sold following offers of $13 million and $12.8 million.
Sources also told the Times that Miller and her daughters have been living at a $10-million condo in Miami Beach since December with money loaned to her.
