So hard to accept this. And only came across her videos today. ....was she in acoma after the stroke? They should have never taken off the life support.

@@pointonelectronics she was in a coma after she got sepsis. She was in a medically induced coma after the stroke (after her lung transplant).. People who have massive strokes get medically induced and don't normally come back from that. They put them into a coma to reduce the pressure to their brain from swelling. Had she survived she would have been a completely different person (dependant on others to live and do everyday things) basically a vegetable. Her mother said it was in her advance directive that she didn't want to live like that. They honored Claires wishea and removed her from life support. She never woke up after surgery so she went peacefully..
She is such a strong and inspiring personality

That’s the saddest way anyone could put that. She was a light that burned so bright that it couldn’t exist for long. Rest in peace, Claire.
god she was my BIGGEST inspiration. i was awake when she posted about getting her new lungs recently and i felt so happy for her. may she rest in peace. beautiful soul❤️
I went to school with her. We had history class together. She was one of the most positive and uplifting people I've ever known. I loved being around her. I miss you Claire
a shining example of a great human being
I already miss having her here on earth 😢❤ she was such an inspiration and will never be forgotten, may she rest in peace
I re-watched her old videos not even a week ago. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Rip claire💔
Feels like losing a friend. Such a beautiful soul 💙
I acrually cannot believe it, I am just so sad. I have been watching her videos since long ago and she was just so strong rest in peace claire
This is devastating even though I knew here was a chance I can’t believe it’s real. Rest well strong courageous angel you taught us what it is to be a human and have purpose 👼
Oh my god I’m so sad
I'm 46 and have lived in constant chronic pain for the past 13 years and whenever I needed a pick-me-up I would watch one of Claire's videos and I'm actually crying because I'm heartbroken she's gone after a successful lung transplant but I'm so glad that she donated her organs. I hope that if anything, this will inspire others to become organ donors and it's not always as easy as ticking the box on your driver's license. I'm in a state where I actually had to send in a special form I printed off of our state's website and had to have witnesses sign it. So please make sure you're doing everything you can do help others once you're gone. And I hope that Claire's family is surrounded by love in in this truly sad moment.

I'm lucky that way. I've only lived in stated where signing up as an organ donor was easy. I've always volunteered my organs, in spite of the savage personal attacks from both sides of my family. Luckily, I didn't die before age 18, so my organ can go where they're needed, if anyone still wants them.
She taught me a lot through her videos. Rest easy, Claire. God bless her parents.
R.I.P Claire :'( You were an inspiration

This is so unfair. She’s supposed to be breathing new lungs and looking forward to more amazing years of life.

Never forgotten. I love you so much Claire. Thank you for being such a beautiful bright soul. Your spirit will guide us all💕
I’m so saddened by this news, I feel like I’d watched her videos and rooted for her for so long- never seen someone so frank and fearless about death before.
Oh my Gosh, she was an amazing girl. We should all think about her and pray for her. My morning just got 100000x worse. RIP this beautiful angel.
This women was a incredible human being. Even though she was ill she lived every moment with such enthusiasm. She was so uplifting when I watched the Documentary on her life. I referred friends and family to watch her story. I think her biggest message was no matter what your dealing with live every moment. She sure lifted me up. I was so very sad to hear she passed away. She has left a mark on me and I will never forget her. When life is tough I watch her video she lifts me up every time. May you rest in peace you beautiful gracious human being. People like her are so rare and special.
So Sad 😔 Rest in peace
I was so happy for her to really start living her life💔 may she rest in peace ❤
She was the face and the voice for so many young people living with chronic and terminal illnesses. She will be missed.
I didn't know who this girl was until she had already passed away, but I can see that she was an amazing person. What a truly remarkable woman she must have been! Bless her soul, and may she rest in peace.
😢 She was a wonderful person. Rest in peace, Clair. 💐
I had hope for this girl. She was an inspiration to all. So sad...
I'm so heartbroken. One of the most precious people I've seen. She was a treasure. R.I.P
She was such a beautiful person❤ amazing heart and soul. Rest In Peace Claire💖
These past two years I’ve been watching Claire, she has given me so much inspiration and I had such a high amount of respect for her. I am so grateful for her and what she has given to me. I just watched this video and I am heartbroken. Rest well, love.
This is so heart breaking. She was so deserving of life, yet this beautiful human is gone.
I had just found her channel recently. She was such inspirational and brave. I was looking forward to her sharing her recovery. We're all in shock. R.I.P
She was such a beautifully real person. 😞
My heart breaks every time I think about Claire. Rest in peace sweet girl.
She touched so many lives during her time on Earth and will continue doing so through her recorded speeches and her KZread channel. The time for rest is now, sweet angel 🕯
What a loss. She was so incredibly alive and in the moment.
I was so expecting her to be okay..she was so excited for a chance to live with new lungs..
claire will never be forgotten, she was such an inspiration to many and her legacy will live on. ❤️😭
Good night sweet Claire. I will remember you and the wisdom & grace you brought to the world.
Such a beautiful sole....rest in peace sweet girl....
This breaks my heart. I was looking forward to hearing how well everything was going in her optimistic way. My love goes out to her family, they and Claire herself deserve peace.
RIP sweet angel♥️ watched all your videos and documentary. What a personality! It's heartbreaking that you're gone. You inspired so many. We miss you sweet, funny, beautiful Claire🌺
I really didn’t expect this. You were incredible. What a loss to this world. Rip Claire 😭😭😭
Just opened the KZread and this was the first news I saw, it immediately sank my heart. I was really hopping to see her video after successful lungs transplant, never thought this was going to happen. RIP Claire
Oh nooooooo... I just read about it. Claire. You are such a beautiful person! Im so sad the transplant didnt go well.... Im happy you lived so long and you were able to keep up the smile.!
She will be missed dearly. She helped me so much with my death anxiety. She helped me learn how to accept death. How to prepare and how to still live a great life. I wanna truly thank her for the amazing 2 years I have been following her, and all the good and bad times she shared with us. Rest In Peace Claire. You will be missed.
Such a beautiful soul.
One the of biggest inspirations out there. I can’t believe she’s gone... Rest In Peace
Noooo why do bad things always happen to good people 😭. Rest In Peace Claire ❤️
i've never been so affected by a 'youtuber''s death... she was soooo much more than that though. she's such a beautiful and great and strong person. i am so sad.. for her and her loved ones :/ 💔
It's been awhile. Just a brief post to let everyone know that she's still on many of our minds, and STILL having a positive impact. Personally, her empathy, bravery and tenacity were life changing. In the past 6 years, I've seen nearly every sunset, literally stop and smell the roses, and place far more value on helping others than material things. I'm 49 now, and I still haven't lived half the life, or loved it half as well, as Claire. She's my hero. No s***.
Oh my gosh! I'm so upset right now she was such an amazing activist and KZread personality. Rest in power Claire.
She is an amazing soul. You will never be forgotten clair. We all love you. Rest in peace.❤😭😢
OHH NOOOO!! Such a warier was she
I can't believe she died..... Rest in peace Claire. You were a light in this world ❤
What a beautiful soul! Someone who wasn't afraid of death. Claire was so brave.
I was reading about it and it just reminded me of her To anyone suffering with this disease Please be strong ❤️
Rest in piece beautiful Soul. You were very strong young lady and very inspiring so many ways. Will miss your videos, stories , voice and smile. Can't believe you are now gone :(. With love. 💜
When I saw this I thought this can’t be real... I started yelling no no no as I clicked on the video... despite following her for such a long time it felt like she was never going to die... at least not this sudden, it seems like just yesterday she was thanking us and now she is truly gone, I send her prayers to the family and I know that despite what little time she had she made the biggest impact
The energy of this girl, despite her illness! I’m never gonna complain about nonsense again. What an inspiration.
Rip Claire 😩omg ilysm at least you will be living a pain free life and will not have to suffer anymore.❤️❤️❤️
RIP Hun
I’m in shock. Goosebumps. Rip my lovely 🙏🏽❤️
Omg, no! I didn’t follow her channel but every now and then her videos would pop up in my recommendations and I’d just watch the entire videos. Such a beautiful and strong individual.
Rest In Peace, darling angel ❤️
I’m so broken by her passing...I saw a video of her a year ago on FB and immediately felt her amazing positive energy. I can’t count how many times I told myself “I’d like to be her friend” although that didn’t happen, I was so happy to follow her through her journey. I can’t believe she’s gone now...May you Rest In Peace sweet beautiful Claire💔
Wow she gave us so much in such a short time! An angel if there ever was one! RIP Angel.
No!!!!!
The thing with Claire is, despite knowing her time on this earth was more temporary than most, she strived. She was more comfortable in her skin and proud than most of us with another 60 years on our belt will ever be. I could not begin to imagine the depth of living with her illness, or any other kind for that matter. But I would like to thank her for standing up in stride, and living her life to the fullest, inspiring us all to believe in whatever it is we stand for. Claire you are always in my thought. Rest well. ❤️
It's very sad that she's gone. She was such an inspiration. Rest in peace beautiful girl 😢
aw:( i literally watched her story right before she got her new lungs 💔 rip beautiful
Rip I can't believe your gone 😢 I was praying you would make it throw all of this
I always thought she will make it
R.I.P. Claire , que descanse em paz .
Oh no. This upset me so much. Out of anyone I watch on KZread or read about this hurt me the most. I just can’t think how sad and worse off we are without her. Such a sad sad shame. I can’t believe. Hurts my heart so much
Oh my God, rest in peace girl. Send you and your family all my love and support.
crying! I loved her so much and it's so sad that once she got the transplant she passed away. she was such a good person
Never heard of her, but she seemed dedicated to leave a mark and apparently she did. Condolences to her loved ones. Rest now young girl.
I was just thinking about her the other day. So so sad. Rest in Peace beautiful soul. Xx
RIP Claire. I was saddened to hear of your passing. May your family find peace
Claire Wineland is indeed a brave, curious, and a strong human being. I was on my way to work and man, died at a very young age of 23 after battling a serious disease after doctors trying to save her life from a lung transplant she has during birth. But she was a true inspiration and my condolences goes to the Wineland family on this sad loss. I’ll do whatever I can donating in regards to cancer research and other charities.
i’ve followed claire for years, i’m so sad but glad she will no longer be in so much pain- and she left this world finally doing the last step she was always afraid of doing. she did it, she helped so many, and she will continue to touch and change the world.
I have dreaded this day for months. She was such a beautiful spirit and this totally breaks my heart. Rest in peace Claire.
This is so sad to learn. I’ve followed her channel for years and her attitude towards life and death was always infectiously positive. RIP. Her family have a lot to be proud of.
Oh god, i remember her from one of those talks... So sad she passed away. She'll always be an inspiring, amazing person for so many people. Rest in peace ♥️♥️♥️
She saw the most fundamental truth about life and death; that it's not about how much time you have, it's about how you use the time you have. And she made sure the rest of us can see it too. She made her life a priceless gift to every single one of us.
Such an strong and optimistic person..RIP❤️❤️
I am in tears. I checked up on her channel a few weeks ago, she had such an impact and was so amazing to just listen to. I hope her family take pride in knowing how fabulous she was and is.
She was so thankful for the money that people donated and she was so excited that she had a chance to get rid of cystic fibrosis. I love her and she will remembered. She was loving and funny and inspirational and caring and just amazing.😭😕
I just was watching her, I need help video and immediately started praying for her. Only too find this video. I'm sorry my prayers were to late.
I'll rewatch her videos forever bc they helped me tremendously.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. She was a year younger than me. RIP beautiful girl 💙
i can’t believe it :((((( my heart is shattered ! she was the light on those dark days for me . her positivity was incredible. :( she will be greatly missed . RIP claire 💕
Now she has new lungs and wings! Rest In Heaven!
Just watched five feet apart , this really hurt 😢😣
I am so sad about this, her outlook on her life and illness was inspirational.
