Heather Armstrong, who was dubbed “the queen of mom bloggers” by the New York Times, has died at the age of 47.

Her boyfriend reported that she was suicidal, noting that she had recently relapsed after a long period of abstinence from alcohol.

Armstrong rose to fame in the US in the 2000s when, under the pseudonym Dooce, she blogged about her experiences as a mother.

On her Dooce website, she often wrote about her children, work, sex, her escape from the Mormon church, and her personal battles with depression and alcohol. In 2009, Armstrong was included in Forbes magazine’s annual list of the 30 most powerful women in the media.

By 2009, her blog could be generating $40,000 in ad revenue per month, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Armstrong has also been an author, including her 2009 memoir: “It sucked, and then I cried: how I had a baby, a breakdown and a much-needed Margarita.” According to the book, she suffered from chronic depression all her life, which she began battling in college.

From her first marriage, she has a daughter, Leta, and a son, Marlo. In 2017, after her marriage ended, her popularity plummeted as social media took off.

Her depression worsened, prompting her to enroll in a clinical trial at the Neuropsychiatric Institute at the University of Utah.

“I felt like life didn’t matter,” he told Vox. “When you’re so desperate, you’ll try anything. But I believed that my children deserved a happy, healthy mother, and I had to try all the options to be the best for them.

In 2019 she wrote her third book, “Farewell to Death: The True Story of Ten Times Death to Live”about her therapy experience.
