“Hug your loved ones a little tighter today…”
Model Sarah Morrissey has shared a touching tribute to her late mother following her recent passing.
The former Miss Ireland lost her mother two weeks ago. Writing on Instagram today, she said that the day was “the saddest” of her life.
“Two weeks ago today, the saddest day of my life, I lost my gorgeous mother,” wrote Sarah. “An incredible woman, wife, mother, grandmother and friend and we are all completely lost without her.”

“I don’t know how I got here,” she continue. “Losing and then trying to bury someone during this time was traumatic. The aftermath is just emptiness.
“No hugs from friends, get togethers to help pull you through. Just two meters of loneliness and your own thoughts.”
Sarah went on to say that for the first time since her mother’s passing, her thoughts this morning “were of happy ones.”

She added that she felt lucky to have grown up with “such an amazing mom.”
“How our home was filled with so much love and laughter, she really was great craic altogether,” she wrote. “I miss her so deeply.
“Thank you to everyone who reached out, texted, sent flowers, or who was just wondering where I had gone to. Hug your loved ones a little tighter today and tell them you love them.”
Sarah and husband footballer Pat Jennings have one child together, daughter Sadie.
The couple married in 2o14 in Italy.
