Kate Beckinsale is grieving her dearly departed mother
On Thursday, July 17, Kate Beckinsale took to her Instagram page to share a heartbreaking tribute to her late mom.
She also had to break the tragic news. Judy Loe passed away on Tuesday, July 15. She was 78.
In July of last year, Loe received a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
“I don’t want to post this,” Beckinsale began her caption alongside photos of her mom. “I am only posting this because I have had to register my mother‘s death certificate and it will soon become public record.”
“She died the night of July 15th in my arms after immeasurable suffering,” the actress revealed.
“I have not picked all the best photos, nor the best videos,” Beckinsale admitted.
“Because I cannot bear to go through my camera roll yet.”

She is not ready to go through photos — or her mother’s contacts
“I deeply apologize to any of her friends who are finding out this way or through the press,” Kate Beckinsale expressed, “but I cannot go through her phone. I am paralyzed.”
She wrote: “Jude was the compass of my life, the love of my life, my dearest friend. The vastness and huge heart of this tiny woman has touched so many people who love her dearly.”
Beckinsale affirmed:
“She has been brave in so many ways, forgiving sometimes too much, believing in the ultimate good in people and the world is so dim without her that it is nearly impossible to bear.”

“This has been my greatest fear since finding my father dead at five,” she admitted, “and I am here.”
The grieving actress concluded:
“Oh my Mama.. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I am so sorry.”
