Another social media commenter said, 'I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather be aging than be dead.'
One user shared a personal anecdote to comfort Zee amid the trolling.
'When I became paralyzed in 2020, I felt like a burden to my bride. I didn't want to be here,' the user said. 'When she told me she loved ME and as long as I'm breathing that's what matters.
