Adam Demos is grieving the death of his mother, Lindy Demos.
The Australian actor, 40, revealed in an emotional post on Instagram on Sunday, Aug. 31, that his mom has died around 16 years after she was diagnosed with cancer.
Alongside a photo of him and his mom embracing each other, he penned a lengthy caption, saying, "After being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and given a year to live, roughly 16 years later, my mum has decided to take a much-needed rest.
"The brightest and bravest soul there is, she was the truest example of how strong the human spirit can be," Demos continued. "And how living with joy and love can defy the odds."
"She raised me on her own and it's been her and I against it all and it's my biggest privilege and honor to be her son," the actor added. "To take it all on together and that's what we did. She's my best mate and my biggest inspiration."

Demos said he now considers himself "in a strange club of only children whose parents have both passed," as he reflected on navigating life moving forward.
"I don't know what life looks like without her, I don't need answers now," he said of his mom. "What I do know is I'm not alone, I have an abundance of love and support that I truly didn't think was possible.
"They have not allowed me once to feel that I am doing this on my own. From Australia to L.A. etc, they have shown up in a way I didn't think was possible," Demos continued.
The actor went on to thank the medical staff who cared for his mom over the past 16 years. He said they demonstrated nothing but "kindness and incredible care" amid her cancer treatment.
"The last week was traumatic to say the least, but I'd like to say a special thank you to the team at Warrigal who looked after mum when she went on palliative care treatment," Demos said. "It was by far the hardest thing I'll ever go through just myself and her for her last hours, but the way in which the staff treated and took care of my mum … is something I will never forget."

Thanks again to everyone who loved and supported my mum xxx"
Demos received several supportive comments from friends after sharing the sad news.
Fellow Aussie actor Isla Fisher wrote, "This made me cry. Your mother sounds like such an incredible, strong and inspiring woman. She will always stay with you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and sending you so much strength ❤️."
