Trish Stratus truly loves her family and puts them above anyone else. Unfortunately, Stratus has some sad news to share as she announced the passing of her beloved mother.
The WWE Hall of Famer took to her Instagram and uploaded a video, revealing her mother has passed away after a battle with cancer. She said it’s hard to even write about it because it makes the loss feel real. For her, her mom was more than a parent; she was her best friend, safe place, and biggest supporter who was there through every big and small moment in her life.
Stratus said her mom was always by her side, whether cheering from the crowd, traveling with her, or being a loving Nana to her children. Trish said her kids only knew a life with their grandmother always around, which made it very hard to explain to them that she won’t be there anymore.
Stratus described her mom as strong, selfless, and full of love, always thinking of others even during her hardest battles. Trish admitted life will never feel the same without her, and the thought of not hearing her voice, laugh or advice again feels impossible.
Even though people tell her that time will heal, she feels like a part of her will always be missing. Her comfort comes from knowing she will carry her mom’s spirit in everything she does and she promised that her children will never forget the amazing woman their Nana was.
Finally, she thanked her mom for loving her, shaping her into who she is, and teaching her strength. Stratus said she will miss her deeply but will keep her memory alive.
“My mama is gone. I don’t even know how to write this… she passed last week and I haven’t been able to find the words. It’s as if writing the words makes it more real that my best friend, my safe place, my go-to, the one who was there for every single moment of my life, showing up for me in ways that no one else ever could for every milestone, every heartbreak, every joy – is gone. She was always there and now she won’t be.
You’ve all seen her by my side – cheering me on from the crowd, along for my travels, exceeding expectations as a Nana – practically a second mom to my children. My kids only know a life where their Nana was always there. Explaining to them that she won’t be there anymore was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do.
She fought through so many battles in her life with a strength that amazed me, and even in her hardest days, she was still thinking of everyone else first. That was my mama – selfless, brave, and full of love.
My heart feels broken in a way I can’t describe. Life will never feel the same. I can’t imagine my world without her… not being able to pick up the phone to hear her voice, her advice, her laugh. People have told me time will heal but right now it just feels like a piece of me will be missing forever and I will never feel whole again.
My only solace is that I will carry her in everything I do and mama, I promise your grandkids will never forget the incredible woman their Nana was.
Thank you for loving me so fiercely, for shaping me into who I am, and for showing me what it means to be resilient. You are my literal fighting spirit and dammit, I’m gonna miss you so much! #f***cancer #mamastratus”
