90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6 episode 9, which aired on TLC on Sunday, July 30, showcased a very emotional time for Sheila's family. Just hours after meeting Sheila's new partner, David, her mother tripped and fell down the poorly-nailed stairs in their house. Her body was discovered the next day.
Sheila's house had been in a state of disrepair after being affected by a typhoon and a fire in the same year. Such was the condition that even David understood why she wanted money for house repairs. To add to that, her mother was seen having hearing problems and could not have a proper conversation with David after meeting him.
Following her mother's death, Sheila asked David to go back to his hotel as she would have to stay near the casket for 24 hours due to a Filipino ritual. They spent some days apart and reconnected during her mother's funeral parade, where everyone was very emotional.
David could not understand what was going on, but added:
"I feel so out of place. Sheila has so much to deal with. The last thing I want is to be a burden on her now."
