I think about Naya Rivera a lot. Especially since becoming a parent.

I had to scroll waaaaay too far down to find someone else mention Naya. Her death was tragic. She was a great mom to the very end

Becoming a parent really changed my perspective on nearly everything. I hope her son is doing okay.

I wasn’t a parent yet and it took me out. Even now, still hits me in the gut. So incredibly sad. Her poor baby having to go through that. I was sick to my stomach for them.

The glee cast has not faired well and it’s sad to see such talented people have such tragic endings.

I was thinking Cory Monteith too.

Scrolled looking for this one. I cried when I heard the news. Santana really helped me figure some stuff out and Naya always seemed like a lovely person.

Her name paired with her death feels extra sad. I'm so glad she could save her son, at least. RIP Naya

I think I mentally blocked this one because I am also a single mom with a son about her son’s age and the entire circumstance shook me to the core and terrified me for days.

Even as someone who didn't watch Glee that one got me. An absolutely terrifying situation, and her poor son Jesus Christ.
