WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is grieving the loss of ⁢her mother,who passed away last week after a brave battle with cancer. Stratus shared the devastating news with her fans on Wednesday via an emotional ⁤instagram post, accompanied by a moving ​video compilation celebrating her mother’s life.

Throughout her illustrious career, Stratus has consistently emphasized the importance​ of family. Her​ recent post reflects that deep connection, describing‍ her mother as her ⁤”best friend,” “safe place,”‍ and “go-to” person – ⁢a constant source of support thru every milestone, heartbreak, and joy.

In a heartfelt message accompanying the video, Stratus wrote, “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.”

Stratus fondly recalled⁣ her mother’s presence‍ at her ⁣wrestling events, cheering⁤ from the crowd, and joining her on travels. She ⁣also spoke of​ her mother’s exceptional role as a grandmother, practically a second mother to⁤ her 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 shared.

The WWE legend praised her⁣ mother’s strength and selflessness, noting⁤ that even during her most difficult days, she remained focused on the well-being of​ others.”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.”

Stratus expressed the profound sense of loss she feels, stating, “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.”

despite her grief,⁣ Stratus found solace in the promise of carrying her mother’s legacy forward. “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.” ​She concluded her tribute with a message of gratitude: “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! #fuckcancer #mamastratus”
