Bethenny Frankel is mourning the loss of her mom, Bernadette Birk.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the former \u201cReal Housewives of New York City\u201d star\u00a0announced on Instagram\u00a0that her mom passed away at age 73 from lung cancer.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cShe was complex, in pain, isolated and had demons. She was the most stunning woman you have ever seen, who left her abusive home as quickly as I ran from mine,\u201d she wrote alongside a carousel of throwback pictures of her mom.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was brilliant, funny, cultured and wise \u2014 yet suffered a lifelong eating disorder, alcoholism, abuse, smoking, and self destruction. Despite not being equipped to be a mother, she loved me and I have beautiful memories of her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frankel said she experienced things \u201cno young child should endure\u201d under the care of Birk.<\/p>\n

However, she said her struggles made her a \u201cstrong, tough, survivor\u201d who is able to handle anything.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Skinnygirl founder, 53, said she recently \u201creconnected\u201d with her mom so her 13-year-old daughter, Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband\u00a0Jason Hoppy, could \u201cknow and love her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe adored Bryn and they shared a love of art,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had one friend, so my lifelong wish was granted that she wasn\u2019t alone. She was selfish in life, yet selfless in death. She left what little she had to my daughter, wished to be cremated, and wanted no one to be notified besides me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frankel claimed that she had a \u201csixth sense\u201d that her mom had passed away and started releasing \u201csome trauma\u201d by dancing to the song \u201cI\u2019m Alive\u201d in Birk\u2019s favorite designer dress as she was dying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember her as a young woman during periods of happiness loving me and long for those memories of affection. I mourn her loss, her life, her loneliness and my childhood. I mourn her inability to experience motherhood, the most beautiful gift of a lifetime,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoodbye mom, Bonnie, Bernadette. You did the best you could and you are free and at peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
