Chrishell Stause says losing her mother was an "ungrievable loss".
The ‘Selling Sunset’ star’s mother, Ranae, passed away in July this year after losing her battle with lung cancer, just over one year after Chrishell’s father, Jeff, succumbed to the same disease in April 2019.
And now, the beauty – who is also going through a divorce from her estranged husband Justin Hartley – has said she can’t "get over" the loss of her parents, and is instead just learning to "adapt" to life without them.
Speaking to People magazine, she said: "It’s almost an ungrievable loss. The other loss, you can slowly recover and get over. This one just feels like I’m adapting, as opposed to getting over it."
The 38-year-old actress and reality star told fans about her mother’s passing on social media in July.
She wrote at the time: "In disbelief that you are gone. Feeling just about every emotion, but I find comfort knowing Dad is up there taking care of you and showing you the ropes like only he could. Absolutely heartbreaking watching you take your last labored breath, but there is a peace knowing you two are together again, free from the pain that plagued your time here. A free spirit and rebel till the very end. My beautiful Mom, in your own words #F***Cancer (sic)"
Chrishell also took a moment to thank the staff at the hospice where her mother had been staying.
She added: "Our family would like to thank the Ray and Kay Eckstein Hospice Care Center and especially Debbie and Pam who helped lovingly assist our Mom to the other side. Your kindness and care in this time will never be forgotten. (sic)"
Ranae’s death came after Chrishell first opened up about her mother’s cancer diagnosis in February, just two months after she and Justin announced they were getting a divorce.
She wrote: "I just found out today is #worldcancerday eerily on the same day I found out my mom has 1 to 2 months to live from the same lung cancer that took my dad on Easter. I can’t make sense of what life is teaching me yet, but my heart is with every person fighting this horrible disease and every person that it robbed a loved one from. (sic)"
