Chrishell Stause honored her mother Ranae's memory with a bittersweet Mother's Day post.
Even though she lost the matriarch to cancer in July 2020, the reality star and actress has not forgotten that her true love lies with the former Shell gas station worker. To that end, she used a pic of her and her late, beloved mom to mark Mother's Day and give her 3.6 million followers a much-needed call to action.
Chrishell Stause Encouraged Her Fans To Contribute To A Cause Close To Her Heart
Stause has a very clear idea of how painful losing your parents can feel, she lost her mom to lung cancer, the same disease that took her dad Jeff's life almost one year earlier in April 2019. So, it was no surprise when she uploaded a photo that showed her sitting on Ranae's lap, with both of them smiling brightly alongside the caption:
"Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas here with us or up above us. I like to honor my mom's memory by reminding you to donate and support SU2C's mission to end cancer as we know it if you are able."
Still, on the post, the "All My Children" actress donned a white dress that resembled a wedding gown, while her mama wore a black lace number. A swipe to the left revealed that the realtor associate included a screenshot of an old text chain between her and Ranae that began with the former stating, "Well call me when you want to talk. I hope you aren't in too much pain."
Her mom responded, "I love you so much. Always remember that," and she effused in return, Love you so much too mom 💗💗." The conversation, which seemingly occurred after her mother's diagnosis, ignited a somber mood in her comment section, with one fan writing:
"My heart breaks reading this. I want you to know there are many people here on earth willing to momma up for you. You are not alone. Many, many love you."
"I lost my mum on May 11th last year to cancer and sending you so much love its a tough road," a second person shared, while a third claimed, "Your mama would be so proud to see how happy you are and what an inspiration you are to others."
Stause equally received support from her loved ones, including her sister, Sabrina, who disclosed, "I miss her sweet messages so much. Love you." Her wife and non-binary singer G Flip commented, "Two angels," and Tarek El Moussa chipped in, "This is very❤️❤️❤️."
Fans have been virtually holding the "Dancing with the Stars" season 29 contestant's hand since she announced that Ranae had been diagnosed with cancer. The Daytime Emmy Awards nominee previously updated via Instagram:
"I just found out today is #worldcancerday eerily on the same day I found out my mom has 1 to 2 months to live from the same lung cancer that took my dad on Easter. I can't make sense of what life is teaching me yet, but my heart is with every person fighting this horrible disease and every person that it robbed a loved one from."

Stause garnered an avalanche of praise and support when she uploaded an intimate reel that emphasized her and Flip's love, The Blast reported. The clip, set to the song the musician wrote for the MTV Movie & TV Awards winner, "I'll Be Your Man," included views of the happy couple having the time of their lives at multiple events.
While those moments were lovely to behold, the highlight was seeing the lovebirds embracing in a chapel, donning what appeared to be wedding outfits. In fact, Stause looked delirious as she and her lover exchanged a kiss, and she held a bouquet in the air.
As for their outfits, Flip rocked a black two-piece suit and white sneakers, and their bride wore a gorgeous white dress with a side slit complemented by clear heels. In the caption, Stause typed, "Love doesn't always go as planned… Sometimes it's immeasurably better." The besotted star asked her followers to stream her partner's music before concluding:
"If you ever get the pleasure of meeting G, know that you are meeting one of the kindest, funniest & most talented, hard-working people out there. Please go stream! I love you so much, @gflip ❤️🔥."
The post has been played over six million times, with 341k people double-tapping it and nearly six thousand others commenting on it. One such comment came from Stause's most recent ex, Jason Oppenheim, who partially gushed, "I am SO excited for this!! You and G are the most inspiring couple, and your affection is so pure."
