Josi Maria
Josi Maria, a German Instagram model who talked about managing anorexia and shared photos with her extremely thin body, died at the age of 24. According to DE24 News, Maria’s mother said that the girl just flew to Gran Canaria on vacation, but died of heart failure shortly after the flight.
Her parents posted the news on Instagram, mentioning that the death took place earlier this month. According to her mother, Maria died in her friend’s arms, fell asleep and never woke up.
The friend wrote in a comment on Maria’s last post: “The day before, my dear Josi was holding you in my arms, I went shopping and you were looking forward to Christmas and your holidays. The next night you fell asleep peacefully in the arms of your friend from Gran Canaria. Your little heart stopped beating. “
DE24 News reported that Maria developed circulatory problems on the flight to Gran Canaria and said she was in poor health due to her battle with anorexia. Maria was open about her fight with the eating disorder and talked about it frequently in the last years of her life.
Maria wrote that she did not want to die of anorexia, just a few weeks before her death
Maria, who was originally from Kiel, in northern Germany, has frequently posted about her battle with anorexia in recent years and has warned others about the disorder.
On November 11, she posted about an interview she had and wrote, “I don’t want to be one of the 10 people who die of anorexia.” She added: “I hope that with the video, many people learn and realize that anorexia is not a matter of weight, but of the head! That it’s not always just about the desire to be thin, but there is much more behind it “.
The young woman said that she has been struggling with an eating disorder since she was a child, but that it has become particularly serious in the last two years. She wrote: “This is not the way to go. I will not continue like this. Finding my way back to my positivity. The will is there. “
On August 5, she said she would stop writing posts about anorexia to focus on her health. She said: “I have to have fun to be healthy. I really need to think about my health right now. Last chance. And if this last attempt to do it alone fails, I’ll go to a clinic. That’s what I put as an ultimatum. “
Many of his friends shared the tributes in their photo comments
The Instagram model had around 130,000 followers at the time of her death and many posted about her death in comments on her final posts.
His parents also commented. “I miss you so much, my angel. You are such a valuable person. You gave us a lot of positive energy and made us laugh … I love you very much and I will always carry you in my heart “, said the model’s mother.
“The time that comes without your enthusiasm for life will be unbearable for us …! I know you still absorb these words in yourself and take them with you! Leave a big gap in our family, but you will always be with us! You will also bring joy to everyone wherever you go! Your family will always be with you in your thoughts! Your father who loves everything about you and is deeply saddened! “, Said the girl’s father.
Her mother first posted a message on her Instagram account about Mary’s death on December 4, sharing a German poem by Peter Streiff that reads in part: “Death is a horizon and a horizon is nothing but the limit of our vision. When we cry over someone, others rejoice when they see him again beyond that line.
