FUCK!!! This is horrible news. This is a sad, sad day for the entire community. I am so very sorry Jayce. Jilly is incredibly iconic in this community and will be deeply missed.
thank you all so much. She has been sent home to "get comfortable" for now....she is in a lot of pain. she doesnt sleep hardly at all but wants to...
her living situation is not ideal. she will be moving back to nashville to have hospice come and take over....
jilly was and always will be my inspiration. She was not only a wam icon she was just a beautiful, amazingly gorgeous model that I always wanted to be like. so weird she had this sister jealousy thing with ME. i found that out. i always tell her how crazy that sounds bc i have idolized HER! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS SO SO MUCH THE PICS THE TRIBUTES TO HER.....SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH HELL. i think mudmadphil put it best. she will be free. if anyone knows of addiction...they know. she is clean right now except suboxone...so not really. ...but its all she can take for pain bc of her liver.
Anyway....her addictions got her....its horribly sad and god. i thought she would have learned from me! being the most all time amazing addict for so long and staying clean for so long. jilly has demons that haunt her. demons i worked hard as a kid to protect her from and i guess it wasnt enough.
i want her to be free of all this but i do not want to lose her. her spirit and her light has dimmed but she will forever shine on and i am so grateful to all of you.
i love that pic of her in that little bitty tupperware bin! shes so teeeeny! hahaha! thanks for sharing . made me smile. i want that video!!! she so itty bittty!
Although they are only words I wanted to add mine and say my thoughts are with you and yourself family. I know the title of this post said you will carry on but don't forget to look after yourself too. It reminds us all that you just don't know what the next day will bring, and we all need to make the most of the time we have.
I hope she finds peace. Thanks Jilly for being part of us.
All my heart to you Jayce, and have the strenght for the weeks to come, it wont be easy for a while, but pain will eventually go away to make room for good memories.
I was just thinking about Jilly, and wondering how she was doing. I didn't expect such terrible news. I'm so sorry to hear it, Jayce. You guys are icons here, and I hope things start to look up. Best wishes to you and your family, and friends.
Jilly is and has always been unique. Videos with her were among the first that I bought. Life can be so damn shitty and unfair. I'm sorry Jayce, I have no words ...
thank you all so so so much. its horrible. considering shes only 31 years old.
the situation is difficult to say the least. i have stayed away from jilly for years bc she was acting erratic and couldnt figure out why....found out she was an alcoholic. i couldnt believe it. jilly never drank. ever. hell i dont drink so it was mega weird to find out...and i found out when she got sick.
jilly has never been the bill of health, either but THIS is just something i didnt think would go this far but alas it has.....
i wish and wish that maybe...just maybe...her life will change. she wont suffer anymore and she can be with us again as herself but wish in one hand and shit in another, right? i talked to her via facetime today. it sucks. just conversation wears her out...which, lets be fair. me talking would wear ANYONE out....lol. but really. she gets tired literally just sitting up to talk. just keep her in your thoughts. i dont want anymore pain or suffering for her and its a lot of both. mentally, physically....all the above.
thanks for the love. it means the world. my little sis. we endured so much.....it really weird to type this stuff out. thanks for being the "wamily" she called it.....love you all
I am so so sorry... You're in my thoughts and have been since I first heard about this. I've emailed back and forth with both you and Jilly throughout the years. My favorite wammers of all time really - what a fucking shame. I'm so sorry.
Is there no chance of a donor now? I've had loved ones get saved at the last minute and others succumb before a donor was found.
