Actress, Kate Beckinsale, has shared a heartfelt statement on Instagram after losing her beloved mother, Judy Loe, last year, telling fans ‘ grief is not a contest ‘
Kate Beckinsale has shared a number of striking shots of herself while opening up about her heartbreak. The Hollywood star lost her beloved mum, Judy Loe, 78, last year, and admits she’s been ‘struggling’ ever since.
Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-one, 52, told fans “grief is not a contest” as she shared a slew of snaps in which she sports a white bikini top, frilly knickers, a black headband, gold nails and knee-high platform buckled black biker boots.
Captioning the shots taken in the Los Angeles sunshine on the beach and at her apartment, Kate wrote: “Grief is not a contest -whatever and whoever you have lost, your grief, your own grief is the worst grief. Don’t let anyone make you feel you’re in some kind of grief competition that’s just bulls**t.”

Stating “you cannot do it alone”, she added: “Grief needs a witness. You cannot do it alone. It will sometimes be the most surprising people who can even for five minutes sit with you in it”.
Going onto say that she has been surprised by the support she received, Kate continued: “When you are suffering, it is very often not the people you expected to be there for you who are.
” In actual fact it’s usually women who have suffered a tremendous loss, multiple losses, been raped, been abused, injured or betrayed by everyone in their lives who actually step in and try to carry some of your grief with you. “
It comes after Kate took to social media to slam those who had been making cruel comments about her weight.
The Underworld star pointed out that she has been mourning her mother’s death, which has compounded her grief toward her late father and stepfather.
Kate, who is the daughter of actor, Richard Beckinsale, said she has been struggling with eating since her stepdad, actor Roy Battersby, died in January 2024.
” It doesn’t make you feel very hungry, and I don’t know if there’s some sort of survivor’s guilt because it started after my stepdad died, “she said in an Instagram Reel addressing the comments about her body”. And it’s a kind of willpower thing, not anorexia, where you’re starving. Your body appears to have closed down. It’s shock and trauma, in my opinion.
The Serendipity star said she won’t turn into a “cruel piece of s**t that would say the things that a lot of you guys say to me despite her trauma.” She added, “She added, that she wouldn’t make” offensive remarks about other people’s appearances.
Kate concluded, “It just wouldn’t cross my mind, and I am so grateful that people raised me like that. And I adore them a lot.
