"Silently falling apart" - Trish Stratus shares heartbreaking update

Trish Stratus has shared a heartbreaking update. The WWE Hall of Famer has been going through a tough time after her mother passed away in August following a battle with cancer.

The WWE legend shared the news in a post on Instagram on August 20, and now she has revealed how difficult it has been for her to adjust to the reality that her mother isn't there anymore.

Stratus shared a heartbreaking post on Instagram, uploading a video of her mother, noting that it has been a painful journey ever since she passed away.

"I didn’t think anything could be more painful than the day my mom died. But the weeks that have passed and learning how to live without her, have taught me otherwise," she wrote in the caption.

She mentioned that her mother not being there for everyday moments stings, and she has realized how she was not prepared for this.

"I’ve come to see, it’s not one big heartbreak, but a thousand little ones scattered through each day. I was not prepared for how unpredictable this is… how you can feel steady for a moment, then unravel in the next. It’s exhausting, this constant push and pull of holding it together while silently falling apart," Stratus added.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
