Heidi Ferrer committed suicide on May 26, after a year- long battle with COVID-19’s long term symptoms as detailed by survivor husband.
Heidi, 50, left behind her husband, a 13 year old son, her mother and sisters, as she departed for her eternal abode.
In a chat with Deadline, Nick Guthe, her husband said, “She was bedridden and in constant physical pain.”
After her death Guthe took to twitter and wrote, “My beautiful angel, Heidi, passed over tonight after a 13 month battle with Long Haul Covid. She was an amazing mother. She fought this insidious disease with the same ferocity she lived with. I love you forever and I’ll see you down the road."
Heidi on her blog GirlToMom voiced out her thoughts before her death,"In my darkest moments, I told my husband that if I didn’t get better, I did not want to live like this. I wasn’t suicidal, I just couldn’t see any quality of life long term and there was no end in sight.”
Heidi was born in Kansas and moved to Los Angeles to take up acting as a career. She studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Deadline reported that she ventured into screenwriting after selling her first spec, The C Word, to Arnold Kopelson, an Academy Award winning producer.
She wrote numerous episodes of Dawson’s Creek and Wasteland.
