Kay Robertson's health remains fragile following the death of her husband, Phil Robertson.
She is suffering from depression after losing her partner of 60 years and did not attend the premiere party for "Duck Dynasty: The Revival."
Kay Robertson's health concerns were initially revealed in April after a fall and subsequent infection.
"Duck Dynasty" matriarch "Miss Kay" Robertson's health continues to be precarious a week after her husband Phil Robertson died, son Willie Robertson said.
"Kay is not in the best of health," Willie Robertson said Sunday in an interview with the USA TODAY Network. "We're trying to help her out as much as we can."
"Miss Kay," 77, didn't attend a premiere party for "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" on June 1 in Monroe, Louisiana.
Her son said his mother is also mourning the loss of Phil, who died May 25 after suffering from Alzheimer's.

"Some of it is she is just depressed," Willie Robertson said of his mother's health. "She lost her partner of 60 years."
Kay Robertson appears in an early episode of the "Duck Dynasty" reboot, but her health has prevented her from being featured in later episodes, Willie Robertson said.
"Mom was on the show at the beginning so we have some sweet moments with her," Willie Robertson said. Phil Robertson did not make any new appearances in "The Revival," though he is seen in flashbacks.

Kay Robertson's health concerns were first revealed in April by son Jase Robertson in the family's podcast "Unashamed With the Robertson Family."
Jase Robertson said then that he had feared for his mother's life following a fall and subsequent infection that required hospitalization.
"We were kind of dealing with the fact that maybe this is it," Robertson said.
Phil and Kay Robertson's origin story as a couple came to the big screen in 2023 with the independent movie "The Blind," produced by Willie Robertson and his wife, Korie.

The film about his father's early infidelities, struggles with alcohol addiction and ultimate redemption through his Christian faith inspired baptisms and impromptu post movie gatherings of fellowship and worship when it was released, Willie said in a previous interview with USA TODAY Network.
Willie Robertson said June 1 that the film experienced a spike in streaming traffic after Phil's death.
