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”
