“Love on the Spectrum” star Pari Kim shared an emotional post on Instagram following the passing of her beloved mom, Esme, at the age of 61.
The U.S. Sun reports that Esme passed away after battling Stage 4 breast cancer that “had recently returned.”
“Grief and tragedy is not easy and feels very unpleasant,” she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, May 13. “It feels like everything is becoming a train wreck and that there are two sides of yourself constantly fighting: the sad, lonely girl missing what was cruelly and unfairly taken from her at such a young age and the girl who has to stay strong and positive because she can’t give up if she wants to keep moving forward.
“Not every train track is a smooth ride. Sometimes the going gets rough and you need other trains to help you pull through and carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. 😢🕊️ It’s difficult to keep chugging along when your guardian locomotive reaches the end of the line but you have to keep going somehow even without her.”
Her mom’s passing comes after Kim lost her father, Henry Kim, in 2020 at the age of 55.
