Jamie-Lynn Sigler Reveals She Almost Died from Sepsis After Surgery, Which Kicked Off ‘Year of Grieving’

Jamie-Lynn Sigler revealed on her 'MeSsy' podcast with Christina Applegate that she had a 'bad reaction' to surgery, 'got sepsis' and had been close to dying, which left her with very raw emotions that she had to deal with.

“A little less than a year ago now is when I went to India, and I lived at this ashram, and I had felt so awakened and connected and peaceful… two weeks later, I had a very bad reaction to a surgery and got sepsis and was in the hospital and almost died,” Sigler shared. Sigler noted that this was one of the incidents that defined 2023 as her “year of grieving.” She said she allowed herself to “break down and cry” and “feel that stuff” before turning to a professional for help guiding her through her emotions. That dark moment in 2023 was a stark contrast to how she felt earlier this year after going in to get her annual MRI checkup to see how her multiple sclerosis (MS) was progressing.
