“I have not realized that I have been close to death but in a way I have probably taken it because I feel that I just want to live.”

—Jonna Lundell

According to the CDC, sepsis affects nearly 2 million people in the United States annually, and is a leading cause of hospital deaths (CDC 2024).

Reflections on Recovery

Jonna Lundell shared insights into the traumatic period in the hospital with sepsis. She explained in her podcast, “Jocke and Jonna – the truth must come up,” that she remembers very little from this critical time.

While recovering, Jonna Lundell felt it was essential to embrace everyday activities, such as playing video games and spending time with her family. Despite feeling tired, she recognizes the importance of cherishing each moment.

The family anticipates visiting Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and hopes to reach the French Riviera.
