I have been following her GFM for updates. The details shared were devastating, but there seemed to be hope. I'm sorry to read the last EEG results confirmed worst case scenario and so incredibly sorry that all who knew and loved her ( including so many us here) are grieving.

Where did you see the EEG confirmation? I didn’t see anything on the GFM or did mp post more here? I so badly want it to not be true 😔

I haven’t shared specifics yet out of respect for her sister who hasn’t broadly shared details yet. The consensus is generally that Jen’s brain is past the point of recovery, but for obvious reasons her sister wants a second opinion before taking irreversible next steps.
Please don’t post online or message her sister directly, if anyone is in contact with her.
This is the scenario where I say FU to those who deride whatever online communities form as not being real.
I've cried real tears over the deaths, losses, heartbreaks people here have experienced. I'm a cold-hearted bitch who does not easily cry.
This situation cuts me deep. She was such an inspiration in so many ways!
Agreed. This makes me want to give you all a big hug and tell you how much you are appreciated and loved. I didn't have a personal relationship with jigsy outside of these boards, but after posting together for the last decade+, I care very much about her and am just so heartbroken that this happened to her. She had so much life ahead of her.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I've been on some form of these communities since 2004. We've lost too many bright lights already. All the love to Jigsy and those who love her. I enjoyed "knowing" her just from here.

I'm so sorry to read this update. I always considered Jigsy a very memorable part of this community and loved to read her updates over the years. I'm so sad for those who are close to her

My gosh. I remember Jigsy with such fondness. Her strength through her divorce her resilience her beautiful smile, beautiful personality. What a complete loss for her family friends, near and wide. And what a loss for those who’ve yet to meet her, have their lives touched by her, that won’t now. They’ll never know her grace and friendship.
Sending so much love to her friends family and mp I can’t imagine you’re pain, know someone out there is trying to soak some up for you 💕.

Oh my gosh! I didn’t mean to spread misinformation. I don’t know anything other than what is posted in the GFM and your post. I have a background in neuro and read your first post to mean things were not good. I can delete. I’m so sorry for any added hurt. I also have no intention of contacted her family and just send them virtual love.

No, it’s ok. I knew where you were coming from. This wait is hard and I also “know” where things are going, but family needs more signals for confirmation (understandably so)… but it means that saying what I know to be true might also feel like jumping the gun, since it hasn’t been formally confirmed yet. (Don’t know if this rambling makes sense or is useful but it’s what’s in my head.) so while nothing has been confirmed - it would take a miracle of all miracles for Jen to even be able to breathe on her own or open her eyes, let alone more.

You're absolutely making sense. And even if you weren't, we'd all understand it. Don't let that worry come into your head.

As far as "know." I've been there. Many on here have been there. So, we're likely to excuse whatever you think is inappropriate. We're also likely to say there's no such thing as inappropriate. You feel what you feel, and that's ok.
There is no right way to grieve. That sounds trite, but it really hit me when someone said that to me when family wanted me on their arbitrary schedule. Grieve how you want, how you need.

I have been here for many years and mostly just lurk now but my heart is heavy with this news. I just lost my youngest sister to a massive brain bleed and hate to see another family devastated by the same thing. I’m so sorry for her friends and family and will be thinking of you all.

One thing I’ll always remember is Jigsy posting that wooden hangers make a closet look so much more impressive. I then replaced all the random hangers in our coat closet with wooden ones and legit often think of her when I use them.

I remember that! I did the same thing to my coat closet.
My birthday is tomorrow. Jen and I were supposed to be flying to Cabo. Instead. I am flying to so cal to see her one last time - not the way I’d anticipated spending my birthday weekend with her. Please keep me and her family in your thoughts this weekend.

I am bringing home Jiggles ashes and will be helping her family clean out her apartment. Fuck this sucks.
