As a result of her loss, the Days Of Our Lives star became deeply depressed. But then friends recommended she return to her beloved horses to ease her emotional pain.

However, the Days Of Our Lives star’s challenges continued. During her hospitalization, she became severely ill with COVID-19. And Evans nearly needed to get both of her legs amputated. As a result, she confessed that she sometimes lacked the will to live.

However, the Days Of Our Lives star refused to give up. “But I knew to survive, I had to push past the physical and emotional pain,” Judi shared. And with friends and family by her side, Evans returned to her life. However, she has learned to take a day at a time.

“Every day, I get up and push forward,” noted the Days Of Our Lives actress. And “it’s tough,” she admitted. “But I strive to choose happiness. One of the things I’ve learned through all of this is that I’m supposed to be here. I’m here for a reason, we all are.” However, Judi shared on Twitter that she needed to get back to basics to retrain her horses. 

For instance, she recently tweeted about her horses, “Been doing A LOT of ground work and back to basic training with my girls the past couple of months getting them ready to ride again. It’s  been 2 1/2 years for PJ, and she had gone a bit wild lol. But  she’s come a long way, baby!!!! So proud of her!!!!#HorseDays.”

And Judi herself has come a long way as well. Evan’s rep at the time of her accident told Soap Hub, “Evans suffered a broken collarbone, seven broken ribs, two chipped vertebrae, and a collapsed lung from blunt force trauma.” As a result, it took months for Judi to heal enough to return to caring for her beloved horses.
