Dr. Jessica Waldron's Story Was Featured on 'Christina in the Country'

A fresh look at Dr. Jessica Waldron's Story Was Featured on 'Christina in the Country', highlighting critical context.

When Christina moved to Tennessee with her husband Josh Hall, the plan was to retire there. "I would love to do the opposite [of what I do now]: I would love to live there full time and then have a cute little beach cottage in California, in La Jolla, that we hop back to," Christina told People Magazine.

Thankfully, she's not quite there yet, which is why we get to take in this journey on Christina in the Country.

One of Christina's first projects came by way of her best friend and publicist, Cassie Schienle. According to People, "at the time, Schienle's sister-in-law, Jessica Waldron, had been recently diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a deadly neurological disease that slowly takes away a person's ability to control his or her muscles." As Jessica's mobility declined, use of wheelchair became a necessity, but she and her family didn't live in an accessible house.

As a Stanford-trained clinical psychologist, Jessica was probably better mentally equipped than some to deal with her physical issues. Still, her husband Damon Waldron and their two children, daughter Reese (6) and son Gray (4), wanted to make life as easy as possible for her. Who better to make that happen than Christina?

It didn't take long for the Christina in the Country crew to descend upon their house for the much-needed work. Sadly, Jessica passed away in the middle of the renovations.
