WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus announced that her mother
Alice has passed away last week after a battle with cancer.
“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,”
Stratus wrote in a post on Instagram a few days ago.
Heartbroken, the former WWE Women’s champion said that her
life will never be the same again and her heart feels broken
in more ways that she can describe.
“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,” she continued.

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! #fuckcancer #mamastratus
