Emilia Clarke’s mother has described how her daughter’s brain haemorrhage changed the Clarke family “in an instant”.
Jenny Clarke said it feels like her daughter’s brain haemorrhage – a bleed on the brain – “feels like yesterday” even though it was more than a decade ago.
The incident, which took place when Clarke was working out in a north London gym in 2011, was “completely out of the blue”, Mrs Clarke said.
She said her daughter fought to stay conscious even though she was in “the worst pain she could ever imagine”.
Mrs Clarke told PA: “It feels like yesterday to us really, because it was just such a profound shock.
“She had just started Game Of Thrones, the first season had been filmed and she had just come back from a press tour.
“And then she had her first brain haemorrhage which was completely out of the blue – it was a morning in March and she was in the gym and she suddenly felt this terrible pain in her head – she’s been quoted as saying it was the worst pain she could ever imagine.
“She also realised that something was seriously wrong with her because the pain was so intense.
“So she did her best, as she was lying semi-unconscious on the floor of the gym, to try and make sure she kept a sense of what was around her and she fought to make sure that she didn’t lose consciousness.”
Mrs Clarke added: “When she was rushed to a hospital in London, it was very difficult to establish what has happened to her – and that’s also something that we think is very important; maybe there isn’t enough specialist information and training to actually recognise what happens when you have a brain haemorrhage when you’re young.
“People expect people to have strokes and brain haemorrhages when they’re older, it’s a problem of older age, but Emelia was 23 when she had her first brain haemorrhage, so people didn’t recognise it as a brain haemorrhage.
“So it took a long time before she was admitted to the wonderful Queen Square (the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery), which is part of University College London Hospitals and literally her life was saved because of an intervention to stop the bleeding.
“But it was three weeks in hospital before we knew whether she was going to have another stroke, and whether she would have different health problems as a result of the brain haemorrhage.”
She added: “Rehabilitation is undervalued and under-prioritised and that’s clearly got to change as a key component of universal health coverage.
“It was such a shock when it happened to us, when Emilia had her brain injury.
“We’ve had thousands of people write to us, and so it’s not just our own lived experience, there’s just not enough provision, not enough services available.

Her character didn't last long as Queen of Westeros, but King Charles III has awarded Emilia Clarke and her mum MBEs.
Actress Emilia Clarke has said the MBEs awarded to both her and her mother in the New Year Honours are "amazing" for raising awareness about brain injuries. The Game of Thrones star suffered two brain haemorrhages in her 20s, then set up a charity in 2019 with mum Jenny. They have now been appointed MBEs for services to people with brain injuries. "I can say for both of us that the MBE is for the cause and the charity, and for that it's wicked. For that it's amazing," Emilia told BBC News. "And who doesn't want to go to the palace? I've asked if I can take my dog, but apparently you can't." The pair are believed to be the first mother and daughter to receive the same award in the same honours list. Emilia, 37, said it was "a miracle" that she was here to talk about the haemorrhages she suffered in 2011 and 2013. The first happened when she was at the gym just after she had finished filming season one of Game of Thrones, and left her fighting for her life. But she said she discovered there was inadequate support and rehabilitation after leaving hospital. "In hospital, every day you're told you're going to die. Every day you're watched like a hawk, especially in a brain ward. You're woken up every two hours. It's this high-stakes scenario. And then three weeks to a month later, you're let out."
Apparently there had not previously been a charity to assist people who suffered brain injuries.
The pair set up SameYou, with Jenny - who has also previously had brain surgery to remove an aneurysm - as chief executive. "We realised that very few people had access to long enough rehabilitation or early enough rehabilitation," Jenny said. "You are expected to get better after a certain period, and that, sadly, is not the reality for the majority of people. Even if you have a very mild brain injury, it's a really major trauma." Support for brain conditions is a long way behind that for some diseases, and "brain injury and recovery need to be taken much more seriously" - including by the government, she said. SameYou has funded projects like a trial of pioneering online neurorehabilitation called NROL, in Lancashire, as well as work with University College London and the Royal College of Nursing Foundation.
Here's the site for SameYou.

#OTD in 1914 – Cumann na mBan, Irish women’s Republican movement, was founded.
Ní saoirse go saoirse na mban. Over 100 women gathered in Dublin to discuss the role of women in the lead-up to revolution. The meeting, at Wynn’s Hotel, was presided over by Agnes O’Farrelly. The first provisional committee of Cumann na mBan included Agnes MacNeill, Nancy O’Rahilly, Mary Colum, Jenny Wyse Power, Louise Gavan Duffy and Elizabeth Bloxham. They adopted a constitution which stated…

Harley Quinn #26 by Stephanie Phillips and Matteo Lolli. Variant covers by Jenny Frison and Taurin Clarke. Out in January 2023.
“What’s fifty Harley Quinns from all over the Multiverse plus one interdimensional murderer hell-bent on killing all of the aforementioned Harleys, divided by two very hungry hyenas, all to the power of Kevin…? 23. Obviously. But, also, a really weird way to spend your weekend. Nothing like meeting yourself 49 times to give you a real good existential crisis! I’m not one for self-doubt and all that…but it’s hard not to be at least a little jealous of mermaid Harley.”

Dark pictures scribbles
I feel like I've been a bit of a lump through June, I have done a lot of scribbling and it makes me feel more productive to share
Tumblr media
First up is some pyromegan victorian doll mask sketches(and Megan herself) from when I was figuring out how closely I wanted her to resemble a doll and I just love the vibe these sketches give off
Tumblr media
Tanya and Vince's hypothetical kid, I definitely need to do more with her in the happy little hope timelines
Tumblr media
A very scribbley scribble of Jenny May/Agnes Bradshaw since I vibe with it(also lady Bradshaw is the shortest person in the expedition and our lovely sailor girl is a model so I like the idea of her being taller than Agnes)
Tumblr media
Continuing with Jenny may here's a very inaccurate drawing of her with slightly edgy looking Taylor
