‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ alum Bethenny Frankel shared a tribute to her mother, Bernadette, who died following a battle with lung cancer
Bethenny Frankel is mourning the death of her mother, Bernadette Birk, who died on Friday, April 19, at the age of 73 following a battle with lung cancer.
She continued, “She was brilliant, funny, cultured and wise — yet suffered a lifelong eating disorder, alcoholism, abuse, smoking, and self-destruction. Despite not being equipped to be a mother, she loved me and I have beautiful memories of her. She taught me food, wit, culture and strength. She loved to dance.”
Frankel, who is engaged to longtime partner Paul Bernon, said she had “a sixth sense” her mom had passed, as she “started to release some trauma” and “was dancing to the song ‘I’m Alive’ in her favorite designer Alaia dress as she was dying.” Frankel ended her tribute by asking followers to “call, connect with, or hug someone” with whom they have a complicated relationship.The Bravo alum has clearly put a huge focus on parenthood after experiencing her own tumultuous childhood. She recently spoke to Us Weekly about raising her daughter, who entered her teens last year.
