While Mike Jackson declined to share details as to what had happened to his cousin, Egypt Sherrod revealed on Instagram that Ellen James-Robinson had given birth just weeks before her passing. Not long after, Sherrod explained, James-Robinson had felt something was up. And, concerned that it might be something serious, she’d approached her doctor.
“She’d been back to the hospital multiple times, saying she was in pain, she just didn’t feel right since she’d had the baby,” Sherrod shared in the video. However, she was turned away. Even so, James-Robinson continued to return, determined to advocate for herself — but heartbreakingly, when she made her final visit, Sherrod recounted, “She had a septic infection that took her life.”
Like her husband, Sherrod encouraged doctors to be more receptive to women’s concerns. “Healthcare workers, we love you, we understand that your backs are against the wall, we understand that you’re understaffed — but we need you, if you’re going to be in that position, to pay attention to the signs, and to listen, and to go that extra mile, because … you guys have folks’ lives in your hands,” she said. As for new moms and their support systems, she urged anyone with concerns to seek out as many professionals as it took to get the help they needed. “You take care of you, we take care of us, because we are all we got,” she ended the video.
