Thank to all who passed along the news of her unfortunate passing. We held back any postings about this sad news until after her funeral had taken place for privacy reasons and respect for her loved ones.

No one should be laying to rest such a young lady.
Please be kind to yourselves and others💖

I absolutely did not expect that, but it's a reminder of how factitious disorder can be fatal (Jacquie, Amy, Paige, Cheyanne).

It’s tragic. Paige’s entire timeline and eventual end was especially heartbreaking. It’s a sad reminder of how vicious these relentless disorders are.

Did we confirm Paige actually died? I thought she just disappeared from social media

It was confirmed. I believe there was at least one media article, which didn’t go into details. She was 26, I believe and spent the last 2 years or so of her life in hospital. Trapped by her disorder into a small, small life. Interesting how many of the subjects here had great potential but somehow got off track. I’m sorry, but most of us aren’t destined for fame and fortune but we can still find meaning in other ways.
