Two young boys have sadly been left without a mother after her ongoing battle with a medical condition.
Jehane Thomas, a British TikTok star who documented her life as a young mother with two sons under the age of four, has tragically passed away at just 30 years old after struggling with migraines for years. Her friend Alyx Reast first revealed the news in a GoFundMe dedicated to raising money for her children, Isaac, 3, and Elijah, 1, writing:
“She suddenly passed away on 17/03/2023. Despite suffering from migraines and bouts of illness for several months, her passing was totally unexpected and we are all absolutely heartbroken.”

Prior to her death, the influencer had amassed over 82,000 followers on TikTok, where she would frequently provide fans with health updates. Earlier this month, Jehane revealed in an Instagram post that after years of battling migraines, she had finally received a diagnosis:
“I was diagnosed with Optic Neuritis a few months ago after nearly 2 years of being told my migraines were stress related. They then thought I had MS which was ruled out (for now) but now the pressure in my head literally takes me off my feet.”
Just a day later, her pain landed her in the hospital, where she stayed for six days before being discharged on March 12. On that day, she unknowingly made what would be her final Instagram post, where she showed herself cuddled up in bed with her two boys. She wrote:
“It’s been a really challenging week, not just physically but mentally. I’ve missed these two so much and feel like they’ve both grown up so much whilst I’ve been away.”
She continued:
“I may be home but I’m still struggling with these migraines as nothing was really done to help them after a whole week of being there and I’d rather self medicate at home with these around me then me left in a bed on my own all day & night so I may not be fixed but I’m not giving in.”

Three days after that, the social media star shared an update on TikTok that she was BACK in the hospital, “waiting to go down for surgery.” She explained:
“I’m waiting to see if I can take one of my Frovatriptan before surgery because no other pain relief is taking this pressure or if I need to ride it out and hope the surgery gives me instant relief. I can’t lift my head without wanting to be sick and I’m unable to walk, I need to be wheeled everywhere. That’s how bad this pain is.”
Replying to @Beckie ???? if you have insta im posting frequently on there but will keep trying to post as much as i can on here too but im struggling so much this morning ????????
Two days later, Jehane died for reasons that are not yet clear at this time. Reast continued in the GoFundMe post:
“I’ve started this page in the hope of raising some money so her beautiful boys can have the best childhood, make memories and make sure they are comfortable. Nothing will bring the boys their mum back, but we hope it will bring some relief to her family, knowing how loved and supported they are. Jehane — I promised I’d do what I can for those boys, so that’s what I’m vowing to do. I love you…”
Absolutely heartbreaking. As of now, the page has over $17,000 of the $18,000 goal. Visit HERE.
Our hearts go out to Jehane’s loved ones — namely her two sons that will sadly have to grow up without a mother. Rest in peace. Share your support in the comments (below).
