Rinna struggled with telling fans what she was going through but ultimately decided to reveal on Nov. 10 that her mother had suffered a stroke. The RHOBH star knew her mom Lois was beloved by fans that have watched the show over the years and would want to know.
“I know how much you appreciate and LOVE Lois so I need to tell you that she has had a stroke, I am with her now, So lets celebrate her and send her so much love while she transitions,” Rinna wrote on Instagram. “I was so conflicted to share this very very sad news with you, but I know you would want to know.”
Losing a parent is never easy and Rinna shared with fans how difficult it was to process the idea that her mom was not going to be physically there anymore. She took to her Instagram Stories to share her thoughts and express that she had “empathy for everyone who’s gone through” losing a beloved family member.
“Nobody tells you how to do this. There’s not a handbook, there’s never a way to be ready to let go and when you need to watch it,” Rinna said. “I mean, we’re blessed to be here and to be with her. We’re just not taught that death is OK. It’s never talked about and we’re never told that it’s OK to let go.”
