Obituary for Chrissy,
Hey guys,
I am sorry for having been inactive for a long time.
Most of you guys didn’t know us in person. But you followed us and liked the stuff we made. Thank you so much for everything.
And I don’t want us, or Chrissy, to just disappear without a word of gratitude and without an explanation.
Some months ago Chrissy/Jason/Magpie collapsed at work because of cardiac arrest without warning. She had a heart defect no one knew about. Her colleagues at work called an ambulance, but no one started with first aid. When the ambulance arrived, she could be resuscitated. But she was without oxygen for a long time because no one rendered first aid.
She was at the intensive care unit for some months. At first she was in an artificial coma, but when they tried to wake her up, she never really came back. The lack of oxygen caused severe damage in her brain.
Her systemic circulation stabilized for some time, but she never found back to the person she once was. She was unable to talk, to move arbitrarily. She couldn’t even look at people anymore. I think that’s what they call a persistant vegetative state. Her body was alive, but not the person I knew.
She came to a rehab clinic, but they couldn’t help her and she wasn’t able to make any progress. Her bodys condition became worse again.
Saturday, 13th of August, she finally died.
Today I saw her body the last time before she will get cremated and said goodbye to her.
The reason I tell you about all of this is, that I don’t want her to be forgotten. I don’t want the people to think, that she wasn’t interested in the blog anymore and that she just skipped it. It wasn’t like that. She loved this blog, she loved cosplaying, taking pictures or just meeting some friends. She was always so motivated for making new stuff, new costumes, new photos and to share them. She was always so proud.
Thank you so much for your support. Thank you for making her smile. It was a great time we had together. We laughed so much when we took photos together or when we made our costumes until the middle of the night, because we started too late with the sewing.
I know that Chrissy would like to thank you guys for everything, if she could.
She will leave a massive hole in my life and I miss her every day a little more.
I will try to keep this blog alive, that we started together. I don’t want everything we made together to become silent and unused. But I won’t make any gifs without her for our ask blogs anymore. I am sorry.
Thank you for a great time. And thank you for reading the whole text. It means a lot to me when the people know about her and when they will keep her in their memories as the lovable, funny person she was.
I love you, Chrissy. I will never forget you and I will try to live out both our lives.
In love,
your dumbfish Lisa
I'm really sad and shocked to hear this - even though I might not have known her super well, I did get the chance meet her a few times and definitely liked her a lot. I will definitely remember her and I hope that het legacy will remain. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and other friends, especially dear Lisa. I'm so, so sorry. This feels very surreal, I don't even want to imagine how much worse it must be for you. Feel hugged. Dear Chrissy, I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to know you better, that I didn't manage to come visit you guys when I still could. But I know that you were loved and appreciated and that you are someplace else now. A beautiful place, just waiting to see everyone again in the future. This goodbye is only temporary. I hope we will meet each other again.
PLEASE, PEOPLE: If you ever get into a situation where someone collapses like in that case: DO. SOMETHING. If a person is not breathing then you can not make it any worse - just better! So even if you don't know what to do exactly: Still TRY. That's the advice my first-aid teacher gave me and it is so important. (Even better: Do a first aid course - you might save someone's life.)
