Hulk Hogan's daughter, Brooke Hogan, is relieved at the closure they had years before his sudden death.

The wrestler's daughter was nowhere near him when he died, but she can sleep with both eyes closed, knowing she had love for him despite their estrangement.

Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan, who once shared an enviable bond on and off-screen, began experiencing a strain in their relationship during the breakdown of his marriage to her mother, Linda Hogan.

The TV personality reportedly learned her father had passed away from cardiac arrest from her husband, right after her brother, Nick Hogan, informed him.

Hulk and Brooks have been estranged for some time now due to several unresolved issues that have remained unaddressed despite multiple attempts at resolution.

While the absence of Brooke by his side when he died would have broken any daughter's heart, the media personality felt differently. Sources claimed that the last time they spoke, two years ago, before Hulk married his current wife, Sky Daily, Brooke had expressed her undying love for him.

She also voiced her concerns and worries about his hectic work schedules and his zeal, despite his compromised health. In his typical stubborn nature, Hulk was unyielding to Brooke's advice to slow down, and the conversation ended there.

TMZ shared that Brooke is grateful that he got to know how she felt about him. She is content with how she left things with the wrestler, at peace with the care and support she always showed towards him.

Sources close to the iconic wrestler affirmed that he died trying to mend the crack in his family, especially as he became aware of his fragile health. Unluckily for him, the clock ran out before he could break through to Brooke.

As seen on The Blast, a source close to the late wrestler detailed how he battled serious emotional turmoil in the later weeks of his life over where he stands with his darling daughter.

Brook and Hulk famously shared a chemistry that was widely discussed when their family reality series, "Hogan Knows Best," aired. The last months of his life were reportedly filled with hopes that he and Brooke would eventually sort out their cold war and become friends again.

Hulk was not the only one Brooke dropped from the Hogan family on her healing journey. The mother of two also cut ties with her mother, Linda, who came online to reveal that she had not spoken with Brooke for nearly a decade.

Brooke came online a few days later to address the situation, clarifying that she separated herself from her parents for unique reasons that stemmed from how each individual treated her.

"No contact with my mom has nothing to do with my dad, and no contact with my father has nothing to do with my mother," she added.

The singer noted that her self-esteem and confidence bore the brunt of the physical and verbal abuse she experienced as a child. Therapy has helped her process these feelings and find healing, and one of the costs is completely cutting off interactions with her parents and some family members.

The wrestler's ex-wife would not let Brooke's claims about her being a part of the problem slide. As seen on The Blast, the 65-year-old embarked on a lengthy rant, comparing her daughter's personality to her father's.

She accused Brooke of exhibiting narcissistic tendencies and promoting false narratives about her being abusive and inconsiderate. Linda admitted that she scolded and spanked Brooke on some occasions when she erred, but it did not degenerate to full-scale abuse as she claimed.

According to her, if she had been such a bad mother while they were growing up, they would have outed her as such, considering their proximity to phones at the time.

Linda claimed her daughter also nurtured some demons, including alcoholism, and on some occasions had physically abused her by cutting her lips and breaking her collarbone.

The 65-year-old continued that her daughter carefully ignored her toxic patterns and used her story as a distraction to protect her secret from her husband and his family.

Inside Hulk Hogan's Multiple Health Problems

The media personality had reportedly experienced declining health before he passed away from a cardiac arrest in the early hours of Thursday. Hulk reportedly underwent a series of surgeries for his recurring neck and back pain from injuries sustained from his years of wrestling.

The rigorous physical training he was subjected to in order to stay in shape for most of his career also took a toll on him. He was hospitalized for his neck and back pain last month after a previous surgical procedure on his neck in May.

Hulk's knees and hips also suffered a profound effect of his wrestling years, as he once admitted to having gotten hip, knee, and shoulder replacement surgeries. His pal, Kurt Angle, also revealed two years ago that Hulk had a few nerves snipped from his lower body, causing him to lose sensation in that area, although this was later debunked.

Hulk eventually passed away at the hospital after emergency responders were called to his home in Clearwater, Florida.

Will Brooke Hogan show up for Hulk Hogan's funeral or settle up with the rest of the family soon?
