Heather Brooke Armstrong, the writer known as “Dooce” who gained popularity in the early days of blogging, died Tuesday. She was 47.
. “She had a relapse recently and that’s what really spiraled her down. She was sober for over 18 months, then started to sneak back into it. And then in the last month she went full tilt,” Ashdown told AP.
A single post remains on the dooce.com site, posted on April 6, in which she writes about the pain of her struggle with alcoholism. “Early sobriety resembles living life as a clam without its shell,” she wrote, going on to write at length about her daughter and post music videos that were meaningful to her., she used her married name Heather Armstrong for much of her career. She became known as “queen of the mommy bloggers,” with a large audience of readers across the country.
Though some readers criticized her use of her children’s photos and stories as material for her blog, she became a popular media figure, guesting on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2009 and being named one of the most influential women in media by Forbes that same year. She went on to do branded content for several companies, including Ford, Nintendo and Clorox.
