Erin Moran’s husband’s letter breaks hearts on social media

It’s been a week since we heard the sad news that Happy Days star Erin Moran had passed away.

In that time there’s been a lot of heartbreak from fans on social media.

But the most heartbreaking reaction to her death has come from her husband Steven Fleishman in the form of a letter.

His letter, which has gone viral on social media, details the heartbreaking final days of Moran’s life – right back to her cancer diagnosis late last year.

It was first shared by Moran’s Happy Days co-star Scott Baio on Tuesday, after he got himself into a bit of strife over some comments he made about drug addiction.

Fleishman’s letter details how in November, Moran started waking up in the morning with blood stains on her pillow.

After it happened a few times, they went and had a biopsy done, which revealed Moran had cancer.

“It got bad so fast,” he wrote.

“By the middle of February, Erin could no longer speak or eat or drink. She had a feeding tube implant and i feed her 6 to 8 times a day. She was still happy, she was active, she texted people on her phone all day.”

He goes on to say that on April 21, Moran had trouble breathing and by April 22, she “was not 100%”.

“She needed Kleenex, so I went to the store and came back. She was there watching T.V in bed.” Fleishman wrote.

“I laid down next to her held her right hand in my left.

“I feel asleep woke up about a hour later still holding her hand and she was gone, she was just gone.”

As Fleishman explains in the letter, the coroner revealed Moran’s cancer was “really really bad” and had spread to her spleen – plus she had fluid in her lungs and an infection in her brain.

“The coroner said even if she was in the hospital being pumped full of antibiotics she still would not of made it,” he wrote.

“He said it was the best that she was with me and went in her sleep.”

Such a sad end for Erin Moran.
