OK! reports that the 32-year-old, penned: "We've had so many, its overwhelming, and I must admit very hard for me to even go through them and even open them. As I'm still coming to terms with the loss of such a special little woman in my life, the sadness has really consumed me and I cannot lie I am struggling."
The new mum, who recently gave birth to daughter Alba Jean, continued: "So I'm so sorry if I haven't replied. I switched off and me and Jake and little Alba have been staying with my mam over the weekend. The family all together supporting each other through this time."
Charlotte initially announced her nana Jean's passing with an Instagram montage last week. The reality TV star announced that 'heartbroken doesn't come close' to how she currently feels, going on to add that she 'adored every inch' of her late family member.
"I named my daughter after you for a reason nan I don't think you will ever truly know how much I loved and adored you and still do," she said in an emotional statement, before adding that she's 'never felt pain like this'.
She then made a plea to her followers to: "hold your loved ones tight because life is truly truly precious."
