General Hospital Spoilers – Eden McCoy Mourns Mom’s Death
Eden McCoy, who portrays Josslyn Jacks on General Hospital, turned to social media to express her heartbreak over her mother’s death.
Eden’s mother Natasha had battled with cancer. And in her Instagram tribute, the 20-year-old General Hospital star shared a photo of happy memories of a mother-and-daughter trip, noted TV Insider.
But McCoy also created a very special list of 20 things that showed how much she loved her mother. And the General Hospital star shared that it did feel strange to write such a personal tribute on social media.
“It feels bizarre and almost performative to make a post so personal on the most impersonal space,” wrote Eden. “But many people who knew my mother and also knew me didn’t know what was going on,” she explained. “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.”

And the General Hospital star also revealed that her mother “fought an intense battle with cancer for the past two-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,” added Eden.
However, the General Hospital star also shared what her mother taught her amid her battle with cancer. And McCoy reflected on the importance of living life to the fullest.
“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’s your last time doing it,” added Eden.

But McCoy confessed that she always feared the death of her mother. However, the General Hospital star expressed her gratitude for the time that she had.
“Losing my mother has always been my greatest fear, as I’m sure many of you feel the same,” wrote Eden on Instagram. “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.”
And in ending, the General Hospital star wrote a special message directly to her mother. “Mom, I expected a lot more time with you than was given,” she shared. “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.”
