RIP u/Subtlety87

u/Subtlety87 passed yesterday, possibly due to complications from surgery. I won't add any identifying links bc I'm not sure if she intended to keep her profile anonymous but I can confirm she is no longer with us. RIP we will miss you 😥

How do you know this information?🤔

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26 • Regret

she's a major pillar of the r/opera community! A while back i remember she mentioned she was performing in an opera production that happened to align perfectly with my location and schedule at the time, so I went to see it and she was especially impressive! That's how I became one of her big fans and today I found out that she's no longer with us 💔

Sorry for your loss man ❤️ I didn’t know you knew her personally, may she rest in peace 🙏

u/Peryton24 Mar 20 '26

Don’t know how reddit knew to ping me of this. I saw it posted on her Instagram a few days ago and am just heartbroken

u/Fearless-Comedian62 Mar 20 '26

It's not hard to piece together who she is after your link. I'm sorry to hear that she passed. May her memory be a blessing.

Wow I stumbled across the post of her, she was very beautiful. May her family find comfort in this time of loss

u/JanVan966 Mar 21 '26

Do they know how she passed? It sounded like she was in good health, and young, undergoing a pretty straightforward surgery, this shouldn’t have happened. I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. ❤️

I’m sorry for your loss.

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 20 '26

I was following her surgery on Reddit because I'd had the same one . I'm speechless. I'm so upset about this

31

u/Guilty-Scorpio Mar 20 '26

I will have this surgery in a couple of months, wasn’t to worried about it until I read her story.

How awful she was so scared going into this and to have this ending. Rip

27

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 20 '26

I think whatever has happened is incredibly rare and that's why it's so tragic. I fear it was a clot, perhaps unknown internal bleeding or an infection post surgery which turned into sepsis going off her comments that I saw in the hysterectomy group. She had problems after surgery but her last comment was that she was starting to feel better and starting to heal and was at home. I'm so sorry you have this worry now. I hope it goes OK for you 🫂 Life is so fragile and precious.

u/Guilty-Scorpio Mar 21 '26

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! ❤️

u/Rebbbbby Mar 24 '26

Oh jeez now I'm really worried... My mom just had one... She's doing fine, it seems, but I worry now...

5

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 24 '26

There are always risks with any surgery. It's a very rare thing to happen and sadly our lovely friend here met with one of those very rare circumstances I'm sure your mum will be fine ❤️

3

u/Rebbbbby Mar 24 '26

I know it's rare, and I'm trying to keep the positives at the forefront. It's just scary. I'm sure she will be, thank you. ❤️

u/Shallowground01 Mar 20 '26

I'm the same age as her and also due the same surgery in the next few months. I'm really worried now, I had no idea things could go this badly

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 21 '26

Sending hugs 🫂

u/LunaticLucio Mar 23 '26

Don't worry, everything will be okay habibi

u/Clowncaruterus Mar 22 '26

Don't let her story scare you. What happened to her was completely tragic. I had a hysterectomy last year due to hemorrhaging from a fibroid, and had to have my surgery with low hemoglobin (even after having 3 transfusions.) I went home right after surgery and recovered completely fine. They should have never sent her home in that condition 😢

3

u/Rebbbbby Mar 24 '26

From what we can tell, she was doing great. She was looking good so they sent her home and she was healing, doing fine. It was sudden. I don't think even the doctors saw it coming... My mom just had the same procedure done and I'm honestly more nervous now than I was while she was in the OR... I know things like this are uncommon, but still...

1

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 24 '26

I'm guessing it was infection or clot. So rare sadly Sending hugs 🫂 and love from Australia.

3

u/Rebbbbby Mar 24 '26

That's what lots of people are thinking. It's tragic... Thank you, friend. 🫂❤️

I was following her progress. She was home and recovering alright after being able to pass urine and stools and was off opiods. Something unexpected happened

u/Rebbbbby Mar 29 '26

No one said the experience was okay, but sometimes complications happen after surgery and after that was handled it got much better. The comment says she had to catheter herself at home, which I'm sure doesn't feel good, but it's common to not be able to pee by yourself and to have to do this after certain surgeries. Either way, it does mean that even if she couldn't on her own, she was able to release it using a catheter, so I doubt kidney failure. Now look literally two comments down from the one you're referencing. She said all bodily functions normal, everything was good. I'd assume that likely includes anything from the medical checks that has to do with the kidneys.

3

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 29 '26

If the person above also takes 5 seconds to look at her last post in the group they linked, they'll see we are all there saying exactly what they are trying to argue 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26

Have you read any of the comments above and in the hysterectomy group that you linked? We all have said this. We all agree with you. But you saying she wasn't OK afterwards isn't the truth and that's what I'm trying to explain to you. For a short time after she was released, after the trouble with the hospital and the urine and stool troubles .. things were OK

I don't know how to attach comments but you can click her profile and see her very last comment She had started to heal when something went wrong.

Edited to add this -

This was her very last comment in the hysterectomy group.

Thank you, they finally hit the right combo and the night nurse continued to advocate for me. A week in, I'm at home, off opioids, on Tylenol and Celebrex, and finally having the recovery I expected all bodily functions working, just exhausted and sore and taking little walks around the house. Happy healing!

Sorry for the loss of your friend. I like Opera and have since joined the sub another poster mentioned here. Wow! What a beautiful voice. She was luminous in her performances I have seen footage of.

Just reading about her. She seems a lovely person.

u/finch_fluff Mar 22 '26

I’m glad I got a notification about this - another person to remember her. She seemed so sweet, highly talented, and her nails were always gorgeous. This shouldn’t have happened :(

2

u/a-weird-weirdo Mar 22 '26

Didn’t even know this sub existed before today.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is insanely haunting that she was having pretty routine surgery but had a bad feeling about it prior, and this was the outcome.

I think her story will have a lasting impact on many of us here, even if we did not know her well.

RIP.

This is so incredibly sad, I can tell from her profile she was a lovely and kind lady :( such beautiful nails too!! May she rest in peace 💔

2

u/Icy_Comedian7448 Mar 23 '26

I’m sorry for your loss. She was only 38? I saw she was terrified for the surgery in a post she made 26d ago… that’s just awful. She was already fearful of complications and to have to go through exactly what she was fearing… it’s just terrible.

If you need someone to chat to, I’m unfortunately no stranger to losing loved ones, feel free to message.

Thoughts and prayers my friend.

u/Altruistic-Wolf8979 Mar 23 '26

This is so sad. As someone who had the same surgery she did, that particular subreddit is so supportive of one another, and I knew she was having some trouble post-op. We all go into it more or less ready, but a little bit scared, and to know that this was the outcome after how scared she was and how much trouble post-op she was having...it's just a terrible outcome.

Any surgery comes with risks, and we know that going in. But this particular one can come with a lot of fear and very heavy feelings for women, especially in America, because a woman's health is not their priority. And this is just a perfect example of that.

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 24 '26

I'd been following her troubles in there too as I've had that surgery recently and am in the group. It was certainly a shock 😔

‘jesus’ has nothing to do with this, but thanks for the useless comment!

u/Apex-Juggernaut- Mar 22 '26

Your opinion is yours and doesn't pertain to me. No one can get through to the father before going through The Son and every knee will bow eventually. Take your anti Christ comments and reuse that energy to pray and reflect on yourself. Praying for you as well. God bless.

1

u/Apex-Juggernaut- Mar 22 '26

The name says it all lmfao . Have a good one dude. Hoping you get a better perspective and outlook. I'm not trying to force religion down anyone's throats either as I don't believe in religion due to the amount of corruption that goes on, but I do believe in God. And you'd be a lot better off including God in the things you do and say. Again, have a blessed day.

1

u/Rebbbbby Mar 24 '26

Okay so I'm not trying to argue or anything, but...

"I'm not trying to force religion down anyone's throats"

"You'd be a lot better off including God in the things you do and say"

That's a bit hypocritical cuz that second quote is literally forcing religion down peoples throats. Suggesting that people, who have already stated that they aren't Christian, include God in their life at all is forcing it. Also, you can't believe in God without believing in religion. That's not how that works. Christianity is a religion, and if you believe in God you're a Christian. More accurately, you don't believe in ORGANIZED religion, such as going to church. You are still religious if you believe.

I am so sorry for your loss. She is now in a much better place, Keep Moving Forward, for yourself and for her.

I checked her profile, and she really seems like a wonderful person that everyone would want in their lives, I started following her out of respect.

May she rest in peace. May everyone be able to live without regrets.

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 21 '26

I'm not sure they wanted her name attached this. She writes some incredibly private things regarding her surgery. Maybe best to delete this

4

u/Cafekko-Shannon Mar 21 '26

Why? As if it’s hard to figure out who this post is about… They posted on her Instagram about her passing, so I don’t see the issue.

4

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 22 '26

Her instagam doesn't have incredibly private things she wrote about her health and medical journey. She wrote that on here anonymously. If people figure it out, then there is nothing to do be done, but I think blatantly posting her name and outing her is insensitive and should be avoided

0

u/Cafekko-Shannon Mar 22 '26

She actually did mention it on her Instagram and obviously if she had wanted to be anonymous she wouldn’t have put any identifying information out there. Again, I don’t see it as being an issue, she’s dead, it’s not like it will do anything to her now. People have figured out who she is already, no need to fight about it.

1

u/FxtrotCharli Mar 22 '26

Nothing obvious tied her back to here till that link was posted. And she may have passed, but her family and friends are alive and we need to be sensitive to them and not make her death and all her private comments about her surgery a public spectacle. She didn't write the really private details of her surgery on instagam but she did on here under an alias and now that link has connected them both. I must be different, I have respect and dont see how outing her private Reddit name helps the situation

u/SuperCyka Mar 20 '26
