    @@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..

    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 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.

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***.
