Problem With Flex Spending Account After Leaving A Job

Hi, I'm looking for advice with a problem we're having with my wife's flex spending account from a job she left in March. We had a surgery for my son and we need to pay a bill. I went to use the flex spending card and it would not work. I called Payflex and they said the company she worked for had ended her account in March when she left and we couldn't use the money anymore. The only way they said we could access the account would be to sign up for COBRA and use the account through COBRA. That seems crazy and expensive to me. Also isn't the money in these types accounts intended for the entire year? I don't know what to do here. Any advice would be helpful. We have over $2k in this account specifically for medical bills that we now can't use.
