I don’t care what anyone says, she’s a hero for putting her son before herself, and she carried Glee

A mother will do anything to protect her child. She died a hero. RIP.

"cory found our girl" broke my fucking heart

Josey will always be able to say, “My mom is a hero.” I can only hope as he gets older he doesn’t feel any guilt or ever blame himself for her death.

She sacrificed her life to save her son's life. It's really hard not having a mother around to see her own kid growing up which is heartbreaking. Rest in Peace Naya, gone but not forgotten. Your spirit and your legacy will live on forever.

She died as:

How heartbreaking! She saved her baby, but couldn’t save herself!

Imagine having to tell a little boy that their mommy wasn’t coming back... my heart breaks. May God bless this family and help them with anything they may ever need. May the beautiful Naya rests in peace.

It’s so heartbreaking and hard to imagine her last moments trying to save her son and probably knowing she won’t make it but also praying he would be safe and found before anything happens to him.

She's just... amazing. Saving his life with hers. A true mother.

Rip Naya , we all go in the same place at the end,you went there to soon😥😥

It's so eerie how 7 years prior of the day that Cory died she was found and on that episode of glee when she sang that song "if I die young" she sings "sink me in the river." So tragic really. The whole situation is just heartbreaking.

I wish news outlets would stop playing that clip of "If I Die Young" in every video. It's unnecessarily heartbreaking and kind of takes away from the fact that she sung it for Cory--not as some eerie sign or prophecy.

I honestly feel like her son may have fallen off so she immediately jumped out of the boat to rescue Josie. Which would explain why the boat was never anchored and why she didn't wear a life vest. Probably didn't have the time to. She may have desperately helped him get on the boat and didn't have enough energy to get herself on the it.

I was 4 when I lost my mother.....My heart aches and breaks for Both her and poor little Josie....💔🙏🏼prayers to her family and May she always be his guiding light and Guardian Angel 🙏🏼

She died with honor and distinction in saving her son’s life at the cost of her own, there’s no greater love than those whom lay down their lives for others and she did, Naya chose to save her son at the risk of her life and I honor that and greatly respect that. Naya Rivera died a hero and with the utmost character, unwavering faithfulness that saved her son’s life.

I'm sick to my stomach over this. I was expecting a miracle for once this horrific year but as I get older I'm seeing less and less miracles. I don't think there's any miracles happening anymore.

They just had to play that incredibly haunting song at the end huh....

I still cant believe she is actually gone. She was someone special. She was a true mother, giving up her life for her son. I am in tears 😭💔😭💔

I hate all these conspiracy theories that insensitive people make. Didn’t it even occur to you guys that she might have had saved dear Josie from drowning as the little boy might have accidentally slipped from the boat??? That’s the only possible and sensible reason I can think of given that the boat was not anchored and she didn’t have a life vest. She must have panicked and jump right into the water to save her son, forgetting altogether wearing a life vest for herself and anchoring the boat.
