RIP: Lottie Tomlinson took to Instagram on Saturday to share a heartfelt tribute to her late mother Johannah Deakin (pictured) on what would have been her 50th birthday.
Sense: The 24-year-old influencer, who recently became a mom, shared a plethora of stunning snaps of her mom-to-be.
He continued: “Their study shows that more than two-thirds of people have been afraid or ashamed to talk about their emotions during grief.”
‘But it’s important to remember that all emotions are valid. It’s okay to feel angry, guilty, frustrated, or resentful after a bereavement, and you don’t need to downplay your emotions.”
Before adding: We want to encourage people to be honest with their feelings during grief.’
Her boyfriend Lewis Burton, with whom she welcomed son Lucky last year, commented:
Last year, Lottie reflected on the “scary” period after her mother’s death, where she struggled to find mental health support for herself and her 12-year-old sisters, Daisy and Phoebe.
She was only 18 years old when she lost her mother, and three years later her sister Félicité died of an accidental overdose.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, he confessed that it is ‘shocking’ that medical professionals have not offered any advice to the family, as they had spent a lot of time visiting the hospital where his father was being treated.
She said: ‘They didn’t offer us anything. I think it was shocking because my first loss was very medical. My mother had cancer, so we were in and out of the hospital.’
Beaming: In a snapshot, her beloved mother smiled for the camera.

“We were surrounded by medical professionals for a long time, so that they didn’t really offer us help was quite a shock, really, looking back on it.” But at that moment, she felt quite normal.
It comes after Lottie Tomlinson took to Instagram last week to celebrate her first ‘happy’ Mother’s Day since her mother’s tragic death.
The beauty lovingly cradled her seven-month-old baby boy Lucky in the sweet clip from their recent family getaway to the Maldives.

She wrote: ‘First time in 6 years this day is happy, thanks to you my Lucky’.
‘Thank you for making me a Mom and making my dreams come true by sending so much love to everyone who finds it difficult today.’
