Lisa Rinna Gets Candid About Grieving Her Mom On 'RHOBH'

The latest season of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" has gone beyond its usual scope of entertainment and excess so far.

Grief is alive in the hills of Beverly Hills during its twelfth season. The first three episodes of the season have largely focused on Dorit and PK Kemsley's October 2021 home invasion, but the hit Bravo series is about to cover another devastating situation that heavily affected the 'RHOBH' ladies last year.

Lisa Rinna's mother Lois, who had been a frequent guest star on the series, passed away last November.

Knowing that she has to relive her mother's death on screen has been on Rinna's radar, but now that the time has come for the series to air her family's personal heartache, Rinna is reflecting on the role grief has played in her life following Lois' death.

Rinna isn't holding back while publicly chronicling her grief experience with her fans and followers.

According to People, Rinna, 58, shared her thoughts ahead of her mother's passing being followed on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" via her Instagram story.

She began her thoughts by candidly writing, "Grief is a tricky little devil. In a week or so, my mom will pass on the show, and I am not looking forward to reliving this, but I am trying to accept what is..."

Rinna then opened up about the conflicting feelings she has felt during her personal grieving period, asking her followers if they had ever felt a similar way.

"I find it so interesting that rage has been so ever-present for me during this time. I wonder if any of you have felt like that during the grieving process? I am having a very hard time but I'm trying to just allow space for all of the feelings."

The outlet also detailed Rinna's experience with having to return to work so quickly after her mother's passing, and how through her experience of having her heartbreak on display via such a public platform, she learned how discussing her grief inspired positivity in the midst of a rough season.

Rinna went on to detail in her Instagram story post, "It's very odd for me to know that I will be sharing my grief process on the show but I'm actually so glad I did it, and do," she reflected.

Fan reception to Rinna being so candid about her grief has been largely positive for the Beverly Hills beauty.

"I've had so many beautiful messages from so many people," she also shared, "because grief is something we just aren't taught to talk about and I think it's my job to really share my experience so I'm going to share it all with you. It's not easy."

Despite the fact Rinna is preparing for having to relive one of the most difficult experiences of her lifetime on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she was also able to celebrate Lois' memory on Instagram with a mother's day themed post.

According to Bravo, Rinna not only shared a sweet and beloved family photo of her parents' wedding day, but she also made a point to commemorate her mother's silly side!

She also opened up about the grief she had been feeling ahead of mother's day in a tweet.

Rinna tweeted, "I was feeling a sense of dread and I couldn't figure out why, and then I realized this will be the first mother's day without Lois. Gonna be hard."

Our thoughts are with Lisa Rinna as she continues to publicly navigate her grief as the episodes chronicling Lois' death air.
