General Hospital’s Eden McCoy announced the death of her mother on Monday evening in a poignant and heartbreaking Instagram post.
Eden McCoy Says Goodbye To Her Beloved Mom
McCoy, who has played Josslyn Jacks on GH since 2015, explained that her mother, Natasha, had succumbed to cancer, which she had been suffering from for the past two years. She penned a tender tribute next to a photo of her mom by the Eifel Tower in France.
“It feels bizarre and almost performative to make a post so personal on the most impersonal space, but many people who knew my mother and also knew me didn’t know what was going on, and this is the easiest way to let everyone know. They also deserve to mourn and part with her in whatever way they may choose,” McCoy wrote. “My mother has fought an intense battle with cancer for the past 2 and a half years and has now left us physically. I’m not sure what to say other than she was, is, and will be the best thing I have ever known. She is responsible for every good part of me, and she took me with her when she left.
“If there is anything I can say to whoever is reading, it would be that absolutely nothing is promised. We really aren’t owed anything. Your life really can change in just a moment, so as my mom would say, do everything as if it your last time doing it. Losing my mother has always been my greatest fear, as I’m sure many of you feel the same, and we have this habit as people of thinking that it will never happen to us. Unfortunately, it can, and sometimes it does. I would do anything and give everything for one more minute with her. But not only was I lucky enough to know my mother, we could not have been closer. This photo is from our last trip together.”
McCoy Has A Message For Her Mom
The actress ended her post with words directly to her late mother.
“Mom, I expected a lot more time with you than was given, but that doesn’t make the time we shared together not enough. I’m sad that I cannot come with you, but I have to believe that wherever you’re going will be a magical experience. My one wish is that we will meet again. You carried me with you for 9 months and now I will carry you forever. I see you everywhere”
Daily Drama sends condolences to McCoy during this difficult time.
