This is absolutely incredibly brave of you to do, you didn't have to, but the integrity of you as a content producer felt obligated to your audience... And I speak for myself and probably others. My heart is completely with you Georgina, you are a beautiful person as was Ellie! I have a couple family members and friends who also deal with epilepsy and it's a true struggle and there's not many advancements for them when it comes to seizures. As I said before, you are a brave individual. I'm here for you if you need anything. I know I'm just one of many in your followers but I thought I had excellences and heart to you ♥️
losing a child is hard enough. I can't even imagine the pain of finding your child like that. I'm so so sorry for your loss. sending you love and light ❤
Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I would hate the world right now. The fact that you're still such a positive force is honestly incredible and shows how great of a person you are
When i was about 18 i was working alone late at night in a DVD rental store, a mom and her son were in store she had a seizure, it was the first time i had experienced seeing this and luckily the other only customer in store knew exactly what to do he, he moved everything away from her without getting too close. I called the ambulance, her poor little boy crying while i tried to calm and support him. Makes us realise how important education for all of us is. We are always here for you Georgina, you didn't get any choice to be in this situation but you are most definitely doing Ellie and yourself proud!
@@georginavlog Vibrant and healing, how it reminds me of Ellie, her making faces in your videos..oh, colors, yes!! Both of you didn't waste a minute and that is special ~ Georgina ~ love, light and our universal connection from here in New England and I know from around the world! ⭐🌸🌷
Once again I’m so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the shock you’re still feeling from all this. Nobody wants to live longer than their children. Your daughter will live on in all of her art work and music that she was making. Please share whatever you can offer with us, will appreciate it. She was a very talented girl. Will miss her visits to your channel very much.
Seizures are insane. I’ve had MANY over the years. The warning signs I get are neon zig-zags at the corners of my eyes. I’ve had 2 out of body experiences and during my very first seizure I saw my grandmother that passed away 10 years previously. I am so sorry for your loss. That painting is absolutely beautiful.
I feel your pain I lost my brother to epilepsy he was 48. He meant a lot to me because he excepted the fact I was gay. Like Any Family relationship you have your ups and downs. I wish you the best as you move through your grief. Even though she’s not with you she’s apart of you she will always live in your soul.
The strength you have in this video after only 3 weeks is REMARKABLE. you are so kind, so strong, and you deserve all the love and happiness in the world. Rest In Peace to your beautiful Ellie, epilepsy really can be a silent killer.
Oh I’m so sorry. I’m 48 and almost lost my husband and had found myself thinking how I could ever move on without him. I don’t know if I could honestly. I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re so young to lose your partner in life. It is truly unfair and life can be so beautiful yet cruel and unfair. You must be an amazing person with incredible strength. Bless you. Sending you many hugs and love. I’m sure he’s always watching over you ❤❤
georgina, we’re all here for you and we love you. it’s just terrible that this has happened. i hope that, as your subscribers, we can help you maintain a sense of normalcy by interacting with you and your content. please be kind to yourself through this process, allow yourself to feel whatever you have to feel. sending so much love 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss 💗 this hit home with me, I found my 39 year old partner unresponsive on July 18th after he complained of a headache. We lost him on the 20th, he'd had a catastrophic brain bleed. We have a 2 year old boy together. A lot of what you said about how you've dealt with things resonates with me, and I just wanted you to know I'm here walking through this experience with you. You're not alone 💗
Georgina I can’t begin to say how sorry I am, it’s never easy losing anybody especially those we never imagine being without. You are incredibly brave being able to make this video and I know that Ellie is watching you with pride and love
This is a stark reminder of just how precious life actually is. You never know what is around the corner. We should all live life to the fullest. Be kind and stay kind to everyone. I watch all of your videos Georgina, my thoughts are with you and your family. Many thanks for rising up at this difficult time. Stay you luvie, take care. X
My great grandfather passed away from epilepsy as well. Back then it was even less understood than it is now. I also had it for a time. My heart breaks for you Georgina. You’re in my thoughts.
Sitting here crying my heart out for someone I don't even really know or met. But I understand what you are going through. I, myself, am an epillepsy patiënt. I got my medication for it and I had it ever since I was born. Luckily for me I have a great doctor and the petit mal sort. Which means short seasures, if I ger any. But I know my mother was worried as hell when I moved out. She even secretly checked on me at night if I was allright when I was asleep before she could turn in the first few months. Good thing I lived nearby. I saw your video just now but I wish you all the best.
Georgina you are 1 strong lady and I am so sorry for your tragic loss and I'm sure Ellie is so proud of you for carrying on "STAY STRONG" we are all here for you.❤️🌹🙏😇.
59 seconds in and you're blurry because my eyes are full. Not sure I can make it through the video. As a mother, I can’t imagine and my heart breaks 💔 for you. I'm an author/writer but there aren't sufficient words for me to convey how sorry I am. You are such a lovely, sweet, honest person and I hate that you have lost your beautiful baby girl. We all love ❤ you, Georgina. You are a warrior! God bless 🙌 🙏
3 weeks is like 3 seconds. Please take all the time you need. Some people cry a bucket, others an ocean. Would you talk to a professional? I don't comment much, but you're a real light in my life. Much love from Australia. Grief is just A LOT. I do a lot of grief counselling of late. It's just very much A LOT. Please take things very gently. Not knowing is so hard. That is really amazing you got through with your very own 'just stuff' approach. You are beloved. ❤ ❤ ❤ You've got merchandise, you're raising money and awareness, that is more than enough. I deeply feel for you and thank you so much for beings in our lives. ❤ ❤ ❤
Oh Georgina I’m so terribly sorry for the loss of your Ellie. She was such a wonderful part of your videos and was clearly a kind, funny and generous person. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts as you navigate the unimaginable.
I found my best friend of over 20 years was not answering his door so I went in through his bedroom window and found out he had passed away in his bed. This was in 2019. He was 5 years younger than I, and I was only 60 at the time so he was young. I wrote a beautiful song that I sing and play on the recorder for him, which I will probably share with nobody since I don't know how to share any of the thousands of songs that I've written over the years other than through emails of my recorded songs. At least I can share the words for this song here. It's so hard to write this song, The words get in the way, Everything comes out wrong, There's too much to say. To me You are family, And in my heart you'll stay, And I'll remember you for always. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I know how difficult it is.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm also an epilepsy suffer and its hard! As a child my heart used to stop and I'd die because of it and I am one of the lucky ones. Thank you for speaking out! Sending positive thoughts! I'm so sorry
It seems like you’re handling it so well, but we’re here for you no matter how you feel whether that’s happy or sad. Put out whatever content you feel is right and we will be supporting you along the way ❤️
I wasn’t sure about watching this video but I’m so glad I did, I was extremely close to my mum and losing her last year was the worst thing I’ve ever gone through but little things helped me a lot like having things I enjoy doing even if it was as simple as listening to music and thinking about all the great times we shared, I’m so glad I watched this because your strength and resilience is inspiring for you to be able to make this and it’s brilliant that you’re working to bring more awareness to what she went through and how common it is, you’ve always reminded me a bit of my mum so watching your videos is always nice and even this one felt like it was very cathartic, I wish you the absolute best and can’t wait to keep following you on your journey ♥️
"When the autumn wind shuffles the leaves, when they fall from the tree, people meet - like in a dream. when the autumn wind drives the leaves apart again, people separate, but the memory remains". This is a German poem put into a translator. I hope that the meaning can be understood. My thoughts are with you and your wonderful daughter Ellie!
No parent should ever have to outlive their child, my heart goes out to you and all of Ellie and your's family. Georgina, you are such a strong soul. Ellie will be in my prayers from now on.
Hey Georgina, I completely understand this video. I've been epileptic since I was 17, and I had my first grand-mal seizure in about 4 years on Tuesday, my parents had to call the ambulance and everything, and I completely know how much of an effect epilepsy can have on the person who suffers from it. My heart absolutely hurts for Ellie and also for you in this situation, because my parents were the ones who saw me having that seizure the other day, the things that came with it - biting my tongue, hitting my head, falling on the floor etc. I still am shocked at what happened to Ellie. This video is absolutely brave of you to make and you completely have explained across what the effect epilepsy can have on the families it effects. I am with you and you have my support. This purple heart is for Ellie, all those with epilepsy and to you, Georgina 💜
Thank you so much. I watched ellie many times having seizures. It would cause her to bite her tongue, damage her hands by digging her nails into them. Occasionally it made her be sick and they were terrifying.
@@georginavlog Dear Georgina, I am so very saddened to just find out about the loss of your beautiful, wonderful, talented, lovely and funny Ellie 😢😔💔... my sincerest condolences ((( ❤️))) I am a caregiver for a young autistic woman, that also suffers from epilepsy. I am very grateful the health care system here in Germany provides her with a 24 hour care, so she is not ever alone during her seizures 🙏 Thank you Georgina for raising awareness ❣️
As someone with epilepsy, this is mine, and other family members, worst fear. I’m really sorry this has happened, and thank you for being so brave to tell Ellie’s story. I hope you find peace soon❤️ lots of love x
If you hace epilepsy please please try cbd. It changed everything in our family since we discovered it… my uncle never had episodes after starting using it.
It takes so much courage for anyone to talk about something so private and personal like this. I’m shocked that this happened. I’m so sorry for your loss, Georgina. May Ellie rest in Heaven. May God comfort you in this difficult time.
Oh Georgina, I’m ever so sorry to hear of your tragic news. You’re so brave to come on here and tell us all what happened. Please accept my sincere condolences xx
Dearest Georgina, I am terribly sorry for the passing of your darling girl. I am sending you all my love from Switzerland. Let us know if you need anything ❤️
I have come here after just reading the article in the Epilepsy Association magazine, and parts of it rang very true to myself an my family. I was diagnosed with Epliepsy when I was 18 after a car crash when I was 17 (My fault!). From the point of the crash I knew something was wrong, but as most of my seizure were partial seizures (or 'full' seizures but not witnessed) and it was hard to get a diagnosis. After just over 12 months my parents found me having a ''full' seizure in my bedroom. Within a few days I had been diagnosed, and like yourselves it was a "Try this drug and come back in 3-6 months" cycle. This was very hard for my parents who had very little support (I personally was just so drugged up I didn't notice for months!). In the end it took 16 years to find a drug combination that both worked for me, and didn't turn me into a zombie! Luckily my parents reached out to the Epilepsy Association for support and help, and whilst this was good at the time, it is great to see you talking about helping people further in the future. Treasure what you had, and good luck in the future with your plans. Ian...
I am so sorry for your loss. My child has been diagnosed with epilepsy this year. Sudep is something that takes my sleep away sometimes. I know this is very unlikely with the epilepsy he has but still the thought of it is always at the back of my mind.
this is actually incredibly inspiring. what happened to you is every mother's nightmare (obviously) but showing us that you are pushing forward is something we all need. thank you for doing this, I think it will help a lot of people.
There is not a single person on this planet who’s not ever lost a loved one (a friend, sibling, parent, pets, relatives). I am so sorry for your loss. No one can teach us how to grieve. Stay strong , just stay strong
Darling Georgina, once again my deepest condolences. I have million things to say but my brain refuses to cooperate and it feels like I'm speachless. I only know you from TH-cam, but you are honestly like a friend to me. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to move on with your life after such a tragedy. I can't stop thinking about that ever since I heared about Ellie. Remember that you're not alone. We love you very much and wish you all the best. Take care xoxo.
My boyfriend's mom passed away overnight when he was 13. He and his sister found her the next morning. She too had epilepsy. I cried when he recounted the story to me then and I cried listening to your story now. My 39-year-old aunt also passed away suddenly when I was 15, after developing fatal encephalitis of an unknown cause. Neurologic disorders can be so unpredictable and more needs to be done to better detect and prevent such tragic losses. The worst part is that these people are otherwise young and healthy, so you are utterly blindsided. Georgina you have tremendous strength for sharing your story. During a time where all you want to do is curl up into a ball, you have instead raised awareness among your followers and set up donations for the cause....that is profoundly commendable. Sending you much love and strength.
You are so so loved on this platform and many others, by so many people. Ellie’s memory will live on through you and that’s such an amazing gift to all of us. I know I have turned to your videos in depressed times to give me a laugh or a gentle smile. You’ve helped so many, and now it’s our turn to help you. We love you ❤️
Was aware of Ellie's passing but only just seen this today. As others have said this was such a courageous and moving video to make and watch, and RIP Eliie x
Warm hugs Georgina. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult this last few weeks must have been. I’m glad that keeping busy with your channel is helping a little. Please be kind to yourself. I’m sure it’s what Ellie would want. ❤️
Oh my god Georgina. I follow you on different socials, how did this go unnoticed by me. You are such a light in my life. I lost my little brother half a year ago which was the darkest moment in my life. Yet I cannot imagine what it must be like for a mother to loose her baby. I am really, really sorry to hear about your loss. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Georgina. You can't imagine how sorry I am to hear that your daughter passed away. I congratulate you for having the braveness to do, film and publish that video that is truly emotional. But it's also an epilepsy awareness and I think that it was your main motivation to publish it. People really need to be educated on how to react and what to do in a case of epilepsy. I swear to God, I was watching, on my computer, a video of you and your beautiful Ellie reacting to Miley Cyrus, then, at the same time, I received a notification on my phone saying you just published a video on your main channel called "A Tribute to my Ellie". At first I thought it was a cute video for her birthday or something like that. But as I opened TH-cam through the notification, the first sentence that was written was "my beautiful Ellie died on her birthday, the 4th of July" and my heart started beating harder and faster, as my eyes were beginning watering. I'm truly sorry for your loss, and she was loved. By you and us. You are not alone. Love you Georgina
When i was very young, my aunt who was in her teens, had epilepsy. I remember a time i first experienced seeing a seizure and she was playing with us outside, spinning us round (my sister and i) she suddenly stopped and fell to the ground and had a seizure, nothing very much was explained to us except that she had epilepsy and what a seizure was. My aunt arrived back from the hospital and i felt so bad for her because she looked embarrassed by what had happened. When she was 19 she was at university and living in a flatshare with other students. She died in her first week of being there. She had a seizure in the bathroom and the damage to her brain from her head constantly hitting the door of the bathroom, nobody could get in to her cos it was locked. To this day, i have always removed the lock from my bathroom door in any place i have lived, and never lock it when i'm elsewhere.
so sorry for your tremendous loss. i lost my daughter in 2016. I will never the same. I miss her horribly every single minute as I know you miss and will miss your beautiful Ellie. Sending thoughts of strength to you.
I’m so sorry for your loss, this is absolutely devastating. Ellie’s painting is so beautiful what a multi talented artist and beautiful person she was. Your bond was so special, it shone through in the the lovely vlogs you shared.
So very sorry for your loss .. you're doing incredibly well.. even the fact you're able to talk about it is amazing.. god bless you and I hope you look after yourself x
It's very scary . My husband and my 12 year old both have epilepsy. It's the not knowing when seizures can happen. Sorry for your loss . Our 12 and 10 year old girls did a 50k walk for epilepsy action . They raised £450 .
Dearest, Please accept my condolences. In February I found my Dad in his flat, sudden death after not hearing from him and this was on my birthday. Police, ambulance, the lot. Please understand how much sympathise with you and everything you're dealing with. I havent lost a daughter but I lost my parent, second limb, best friend and my rock. You have my whole heart with you. Ellie, rest in peace angel xx
You lost your business, studio, and daughter …. All within a 2 year radius… Georgina if nobody’s told you… You are STRONG. And God is watching over you.
We love you, Georgina. I can't begin to imagine what trauma you must be experiencing. It's horrific. It's unreal. It's wildly unfair. My heart is so very sore for you. We're holding your hand and we're all with you in thoughts and spirit 🤍 mad love and respect to you!
A dear friend of mine passed away from epilepsy during the night while I was at university. That was 15 years ago. I still treasure the memories of who she was. She'll always be there in my memories. Take care of yourself Georgina.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was very shocked when you posted the news, I simply cannot imagine how it must be for you. The fact that you are raising awareness for epilepsy and use her beautiful art to raise money for epilepsy research shows you have a big heart. We are there for you Georgina!
Sorry for your loss, I had my first seizure when i was a toddler I'd have them regularly, i was on medication, had my last seizure when I was 8 at school then i didn't have any for two years then was slowly taken of it, its been 22 years yet i still worry about having seizures without people around to help me, so so sorry for your loss, can't imagine the loss of your daughter
Omgosh I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know how how people even function after such. Well done, speaking, breathing, one foot in front of the other x
HER LOVE WILL FOREVER LIVE IN YOUR HEART and know that all your followers send you lots of love and support. A BIG HUG ALL THE WAY FROM PUERTO RICO TO YOU GEORGINA! ❤️ Keep strong, and yes crying and decompressing takes strength so doing so is being strong.
So so so sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter in 1996 when she was just 5 1/2 months old and I know exactly how you feel. You are stronger than me because I could have never held it together like you this soon after the loss to talk about it. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!!
I have epilepsy… its a scary disorder that mentally as well as physcially messes with you… i had my 2nd seizure in 2017 in my sleep and i havent had a full nights sleep since…i only really can sleep during the day when i know family are around incase anything happens… im lucky that its very under control but i totally get when you said you wasn’t told whAt could happen i feel more needs to be told to the patient even though its scary enough you need to be prepared and have things in place and ppl always around you just in case… i unfortunately have known a few people who have passed due to epilepsy and more needs to be talked about it …. Im so so so sorry you have had to go through all this… i guess the one lovely thing to note is you was together the day be4 and spent a lovely day celebrating her birthday and how happy she would have been ❤️
Thank you for this video Georgina. Extraordinary brave. I type medical letters for some of the best epilepsy doctors in Australia and they are now mentioning to all of their patients upon diagnosis of epilepsy the risks of SUDEP. Maybe that's where you can channel some of your epilepsy advocacy energy from here, encouraging doctors in the UK to have this conversation with patients and their families about this topic. You're so loved in this community you have built. You're an extraordinary lady to be able to make this video three weeks after Ellie's passing.
Thank you so much for this. I completely agree. It needs to be discussed. I really believe people should be given ALL the information. Then it’s up to them how they deal with it.
This is very personal matter, and you are so brave to go out there and tell it for basically the whole world to see, to raise awareness about epilepsy. You are really a beautiful person
This is absolutely incredibly brave of you to do, you didn't have to, but the integrity of you as a content producer felt obligated to your audience... And I speak for myself and probably others.

I had no idea epilepsy could be this... Dangerous. I'm deeply sorry for your loss Georgina. Thank you for your strength.
I'm so sorry Georgina, I used to have seizures, it's a terrible condition.
I lost my partner to a seizure, he was only 27 💔 his death was also treated as suspicious at first,
My deepest condolences xx
Can we just appreciate how good Ellies cat painting is?

I wrote a beautiful song that I sing and play on the recorder for him, which I will probably share with nobody since I don't know how to share any of the thousands of songs that I've written over the years other than through emails of my recorded songs.
At least I can share the words for this song here.
It's so hard to write this song,
The words get in the way,
Everything comes out wrong,
There's too much to say.
To me
You are family,
And in my heart you'll stay,
And I'll remember you for always.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I know how difficult it is.
From one mum to another I just want to give you the tightest virtual hug and let you know I'm thinking of you xxx
Thank you
Me too :(
I am so sorry.
You are super Mum! Stay strong Georgina you are doing so incredible Ellie is so proud!!! Sending hugs xxx
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm also an epilepsy suffer and its hard! As a child my heart used to stop and I'd die because of it and I am one of the lucky ones. Thank you for speaking out! Sending positive thoughts! I'm so sorry
my heart ached watching this
i can't imagine how hard it is for you
our hearts and prayers are with you
🫂❤️
It seems like you’re handling it so well, but we’re here for you no matter how you feel whether that’s happy or sad. Put out whatever content you feel is right and we will be supporting you along the way ❤️
I wasn’t sure about watching this video but I’m so glad I did, I was extremely close to my mum and losing her last year was the worst thing I’ve ever gone through but little things helped me a lot like having things I enjoy doing even if it was as simple as listening to music and thinking about all the great times we shared, I’m so glad I watched this because your strength and resilience is inspiring for you to be able to make this and it’s brilliant that you’re working to bring more awareness to what she went through and how common it is, you’ve always reminded me a bit of my mum so watching your videos is always nice and even this one felt like it was very cathartic, I wish you the absolute best and can’t wait to keep following you on your journey ♥️
My heart goes out to you. Your beloved Mum is forever alive in every cell of you.
I’m so sorry. My step daughter has epilepsy and we are always worried. Hang in there. ❤️
rest in peace. Ellie miss you
"When the autumn wind shuffles the leaves, when they fall from the tree, people meet - like in a dream. when the autumn wind drives the leaves apart again, people separate, but the memory remains". This is a German poem put into a translator. I hope that the meaning can be understood. My thoughts are with you and your wonderful daughter Ellie!
This is just heartbreaking 💔 I wish I could give you a hug ❤ As you were talking about Ellie, your dog went to the door at 4:09
Sending lots of 💙💚💙
Oh Jesus… this video was like a punch in the gut. My prayers are with you, please stay strong
No parent should ever have to outlive their child, my heart goes out to you and all of Ellie and your's family. Georgina, you are such a strong soul. Ellie will be in my prayers from now on.
Hey Georgina, I completely understand this video. I've been epileptic since I was 17, and I had my first grand-mal seizure in about 4 years on Tuesday, my parents had to call the ambulance and everything, and I completely know how much of an effect epilepsy can have on the person who suffers from it. My heart absolutely hurts for Ellie and also for you in this situation, because my parents were the ones who saw me having that seizure the other day, the things that came with it - biting my tongue, hitting my head, falling on the floor etc. I still am shocked at what happened to Ellie. This video is absolutely brave of you to make and you completely have explained across what the effect epilepsy can have on the families it effects. I am with you and you have my support. This purple heart is for Ellie, all those with epilepsy and to you, Georgina 💜
Thank you so much. I watched ellie many times having seizures. It would cause her to bite her tongue, damage her hands by digging her nails into them. Occasionally it made her be sick and they were terrifying.
@@georginavlog Dear Georgina, I am so very saddened to just find out about the loss of your beautiful, wonderful, talented, lovely and funny Ellie 😢😔💔... my sincerest condolences ((( ❤️)))
I am a caregiver for a young autistic woman, that also suffers from epilepsy. I am very grateful the health care system here in Germany provides her with a 24 hour care, so she is not ever alone during her seizures 🙏
Thank you Georgina for raising awareness ❣️
As someone with epilepsy, this is mine, and other family members, worst fear. I’m really sorry this has happened, and thank you for being so brave to tell Ellie’s story. I hope you find peace soon❤️ lots of love x
If you hace epilepsy please please try cbd. It changed everything in our family since we discovered it… my uncle never had episodes after starting using it.
Best wishes for you 🍀
Very, very sorry for your loss. Gone way too soon. Rest well, Ellie.
I'm really sorry Georgina, I want to say that we are always with you and will support you. WE LOVEE YOU!!💚💚
It takes so much courage for anyone to talk about something so private and personal like this. I’m shocked that this happened. I’m so sorry for your loss, Georgina. May Ellie rest in Heaven. May God comfort you in this difficult time.
Oh Georgina, I’m ever so sorry to hear of your tragic news. You’re so brave to come on here and tell us all what happened. Please accept my sincere condolences xx
Dearest Georgina, I am terribly sorry for the passing of your darling girl. I am sending you all my love from Switzerland. Let us know if you need anything ❤️
I have come here after just reading the article in the Epilepsy Association magazine, and parts of it rang very true to myself an my family. I was diagnosed with Epliepsy when I was 18 after a car crash when I was 17 (My fault!). From the point of the crash I knew something was wrong, but as most of my seizure were partial seizures (or 'full' seizures but not witnessed) and it was hard to get a diagnosis. After just over 12 months my parents found me having a ''full' seizure in my bedroom. Within a few days I had been diagnosed, and like yourselves it was a "Try this drug and come back in 3-6 months" cycle. This was very hard for my parents who had very little support (I personally was just so drugged up I didn't notice for months!). In the end it took 16 years to find a drug combination that both worked for me, and didn't turn me into a zombie!
Luckily my parents reached out to the Epilepsy Association for support and help, and whilst this was good at the time, it is great to see you talking about helping people further in the future.
Treasure what you had, and good luck in the future with your plans.
Ian...
I’m really glad you now have the medication that works for you. Thank you so much for commenting x
I am so sorry for your loss. My child has been diagnosed with epilepsy this year. Sudep is something that takes my sleep away sometimes. I know this is very unlikely with the epilepsy he has but still the thought of it is always at the back of my mind.
this is actually incredibly inspiring. what happened to you is every mother's nightmare (obviously) but showing us that you are pushing forward is something we all need. thank you for doing this, I think it will help a lot of people.
There is not a single person on this planet who’s not ever lost a loved one (a friend, sibling, parent, pets, relatives). I am so sorry for your loss. No one can teach us how to grieve. Stay strong , just stay strong
Darling Georgina, once again my deepest condolences. I have million things to say but my brain refuses to cooperate and it feels like I'm speachless. I only know you from TH-cam, but you are honestly like a friend to me. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to move on with your life after such a tragedy. I can't stop thinking about that ever since I heared about Ellie. Remember that you're not alone. We love you very much and wish you all the best. Take care xoxo.
My boyfriend's mom passed away overnight when he was 13. He and his sister found her the next morning. She too had epilepsy. I cried when he recounted the story to me then and I cried listening to your story now. My 39-year-old aunt also passed away suddenly when I was 15, after developing fatal encephalitis of an unknown cause. Neurologic disorders can be so unpredictable and more needs to be done to better detect and prevent such tragic losses. The worst part is that these people are otherwise young and healthy, so you are utterly blindsided. Georgina you have tremendous strength for sharing your story. During a time where all you want to do is curl up into a ball, you have instead raised awareness among your followers and set up donations for the cause....that is profoundly commendable. Sending you much love and strength.
You are so so loved on this platform and many others, by so many people. Ellie’s memory will live on through you and that’s such an amazing gift to all of us. I know I have turned to your videos in depressed times to give me a laugh or a gentle smile. You’ve helped so many, and now it’s our turn to help you. We love you ❤️
Was aware of Ellie's passing but only just seen this today. As others have said this was such a courageous and moving video to make and watch, and RIP Eliie x
Warm hugs Georgina. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult this last few weeks must have been. I’m glad that keeping busy with your channel is helping a little. Please be kind to yourself. I’m sure it’s what Ellie would want. ❤️
Oh my god Georgina. I follow you on different socials, how did this go unnoticed by me. You are such a light in my life. I lost my little brother half a year ago which was the darkest moment in my life. Yet I cannot imagine what it must be like for a mother to loose her baby. I am really, really sorry to hear about your loss. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Georgina. You can't imagine how sorry I am to hear that your daughter passed away. I congratulate you for having the braveness to do, film and publish that video that is truly emotional. But it's also an epilepsy awareness and I think that it was your main motivation to publish it. People really need to be educated on how to react and what to do in a case of epilepsy.
I swear to God, I was watching, on my computer, a video of you and your beautiful Ellie reacting to Miley Cyrus, then, at the same time, I received a notification on my phone saying you just published a video on your main channel called "A Tribute to my Ellie". At first I thought it was a cute video for her birthday or something like that. But as I opened TH-cam through the notification, the first sentence that was written was "my beautiful Ellie died on her birthday, the 4th of July" and my heart started beating harder and faster, as my eyes were beginning watering. I'm truly sorry for your loss, and she was loved. By you and us. You are not alone.
Love you Georgina
When i was very young, my aunt who was in her teens, had epilepsy. I remember a time i first experienced seeing a seizure and she was playing with us outside, spinning us round (my sister and i) she suddenly stopped and fell to the ground and had a seizure, nothing very much was explained to us except that she had epilepsy and what a seizure was. My aunt arrived back from the hospital and i felt so bad for her because she looked embarrassed by what had happened. When she was 19 she was at university and living in a flatshare with other students. She died in her first week of being there. She had a seizure in the bathroom and the damage to her brain from her head constantly hitting the door of the bathroom, nobody could get in to her cos it was locked. To this day, i have always removed the lock from my bathroom door in any place i have lived, and never lock it when i'm elsewhere.
I am so so so sorry for your loss❤❤❤ You are very incredible person😊😊❤❤
so sorry for your tremendous loss. i lost my daughter in 2016. I will never the same. I miss her horribly every single minute as I know you miss and will miss your beautiful Ellie. Sending thoughts of strength to you.
You know, so many people lose their child or dear ones. It’s part of life.
So sorry for your loss
@@all_is_well_Mara girl.. stop.
Sorry for your loss. In this time please remember to care of yourself too.
I'm so so sad for the enormous loss of your beautiful daughter.
I’m so sorry for your loss, this is absolutely devastating. Ellie’s painting is so beautiful what a multi talented artist and beautiful person she was. Your bond was so special, it shone through in the the lovely vlogs you shared.
We love you Georgina!
So very sorry for your loss .. you're doing incredibly well.. even the fact you're able to talk about it is amazing.. god bless you and I hope you look after yourself x
It's very scary . My husband and my 12 year old both have epilepsy. It's the not knowing when seizures can happen. Sorry for your loss .
Our 12 and 10 year old girls did a 50k walk for epilepsy action . They raised £450 .
Dearest,
Please accept my condolences. In February I found my Dad in his flat, sudden death after not hearing from him and this was on my birthday. Police, ambulance, the lot. Please understand how much sympathise with you and everything you're dealing with. I havent lost a daughter but I lost my parent, second limb, best friend and my rock. You have my whole heart with you.
Ellie, rest in peace angel xx
You lost your business, studio, and daughter …. All within a 2 year radius… Georgina if nobody’s told you… You are STRONG. And God is watching over you.
So sorry for your loss. You’re displaying such strength in the face of an incredible tragedy. Sending you love and strength. ❤️
I'm so sorry Georgina, I'm sending you and your family prayers and light. Take care of yourself, you are an amazing human being.
Stay strong! lots of love! 💛
Two Angels belong together,you are a marvelous woman…
We love you, Georgina. I can't begin to imagine what trauma you must be experiencing. It's horrific. It's unreal. It's wildly unfair. My heart is so very sore for you. We're holding your hand and we're all with you in thoughts and spirit 🤍 mad love and respect to you!
A dear friend of mine passed away from epilepsy during the night while I was at university. That was 15 years ago. I still treasure the memories of who she was. She'll always be there in my memories. Take care of yourself Georgina.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was very shocked when you posted the news, I simply cannot imagine how it must be for you. The fact that you are raising awareness for epilepsy and use her beautiful art to raise money for epilepsy research shows you have a big heart. We are there for you Georgina!
Sorry for your loss, I had my first seizure when i was a toddler I'd have them regularly, i was on medication, had my last seizure when I was 8 at school then i didn't have any for two years then was slowly taken of it, its been 22 years yet i still worry about having seizures without people around to help me, so so sorry for your loss, can't imagine the loss of your daughter
I cannot believe the strength it must’ve taken to make this video. What a tragedy for you and your family, Georgina. My heart goes out to you ❤️
I have Epilepsy I have Epilepsy and haven't had a Seizure in 29 almost 30yrs I'm so sorry for your loss
Omgosh I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know how how people even function after such. Well done, speaking, breathing, one foot in front of the other x
So so sorry for your loss georgina no words i could say could change anything or make you feel any better but were all with you and we stand with you!
HER LOVE WILL FOREVER LIVE IN YOUR HEART and know that all your followers send you lots of love and support. A BIG HUG ALL THE WAY FROM PUERTO RICO TO YOU GEORGINA! ❤️ Keep strong, and yes crying and decompressing takes strength so doing so is being strong.
Georgina we love you, and trust that ellie will be with you and taking care of you. Do not lose faith of seeing her again
Todo mi amor y apoyo desde Barcelona 🖤 sending the warmest of the hugs.
OMG...I just realised what happened. I'm so so sorry. All my love to u ❤ ♥ 💕 💓 💛U are such a beautiful and brave woman
So so so sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter in 1996 when she was just 5 1/2 months old and I know exactly how you feel. You are stronger than me because I could have never held it together like you this soon after the loss to talk about it. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family!!
I have epilepsy… its a scary disorder that mentally as well as physcially messes with you… i had my 2nd seizure in 2017 in my sleep and i havent had a full nights sleep since…i only really can sleep during the day when i know family are around incase anything happens… im lucky that its very under control but i totally get when you said you wasn’t told whAt could happen i feel more needs to be told to the patient even though its scary enough you need to be prepared and have things in place and ppl always around you just in case… i unfortunately have known a few people who have passed due to epilepsy and more needs to be talked about it …. Im so so so sorry you have had to go through all this… i guess the one lovely thing to note is you was together the day be4 and spent a lovely day celebrating her birthday and how happy she would have been ❤️
Thank you for this video Georgina. Extraordinary brave. I type medical letters for some of the best epilepsy doctors in Australia and they are now mentioning to all of their patients upon diagnosis of epilepsy the risks of SUDEP. Maybe that's where you can channel some of your epilepsy advocacy energy from here, encouraging doctors in the UK to have this conversation with patients and their families about this topic.
You're so loved in this community you have built. You're an extraordinary lady to be able to make this video three weeks after Ellie's passing.
Thank you so much for this. I completely agree. It needs to be discussed. I really believe people should be given ALL the information. Then it’s up to them how they deal with it.
I just want to give you a hug😭.
Your strength is unbelievable but please don't push yourself. You have the right to take your time.
This is very personal matter, and you are so brave to go out there and tell it for basically the whole world to see, to raise awareness about epilepsy. You are really a beautiful person
You are so, so brave Georgina. Remember you are not alone and have so many people who care about you and want the very best for you
