A 28-year-old woman said her goodbyes in a final post - before dying 'peacefully' at home with her parents and best friend by her side.
Lauren Hoeve, who lived in the Netherlands, was diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in 2019, a long-term condition associated with a range of symptoms, including extreme exhaustion. She became well-known in the community for her emotional and honest posts about the debilitating condition.

In 2022, Lauren began documenting her euthanasia application back in 2022, opening up about how living with ME had affected her, while attempting to break the 'taboo' surrounding conversations about dying. She has now passed away, after leaving one final message for those who've supported her on her difficult journey.


'I want to die with dignity - I fear a long protracted death but the law on assisted dying is cruel'

The blogger died 'peacefully' at home with her parents and best friend by her side. (
