Denise Nickerson GoFundMe

A GoFundMe set up by Denise Nickerson’s family to help “pay for death expenses,” states “Tuesday (07/09/19), Denise suffered a massive seizure. This event, paired with the weakness from the stroke and issues she had from that, and the pneumonia caused her to stop exhaling carbon dioxide from her body. She began to experience blood poisoning and her body shut down. She’s been in a coma-like state. She cannot be saved. We’ve been up here with her most of the day and she’s experienced multiple additional seizures. At 3 am (07/10/19) we decided because the machines and medicines are not helping her but only making her more uncomfortable, that its okay to stop administering these things to her. We are heartbroken and reliving a grief we’ve lived every single day since she had the stroke over a year ago.”
