AN influencer opened up about fighting for her life in now-heart-wrenching videos just months before her death.
Taylor Rousseau Grigg‘s husband Cameron confirmed her death on Sunday, revealing in a tragic post that the TikToker, 25, was “gone from this world.”
Revealing she would now become an organ donor, the devastated partner said, “Even though her earthly body may have failed her, her memory and life will be carried on forever.
“We know her spirit is in heaven dancing in the streets made of gold with all her beauty and grace.”
Grigg had mentioned suffering from a mystery illness previously but never explained the details of her condition.
However, in the months before her death, she described some of the horrific symptoms that rendered her wracked with hospital bills and completely bedridden.
Speaking in August after fans noticed she hadn’t acted like herself, she said she couldn’t “fake a smile” anymore as her illness had left her unable to walk to the mailbox or carry a suitcase.
“I feel like I’m fighting for life every day,” she said.
“When I didn’t know what was wrong with me, I’d be in bed writhing with pain, just wishing to be dead.
“I don’t feel that way now, but I feel like I have to fight to live.”
Grigg explained that she once loved to play every sport she could until her illness prevented her from running or exercising.
Now with a new diagnosis, she was trying to navigate how to adjust her lifestyle to cater to the horror illness.
“I love who I am, and I’m trying to find myself,” she said.
“I haven’t been myself in a long time.”
The TikToker and social media personality amassed over 1 million followers by sharing lifestyle and fashion content.
She and her husband Cameron showed the joys of country living by posting videos of themselves hunting, fishing, and swimming in a nearby river.
Grigg said she experienced a lot of negativity because of her illnesses, as followers wanted her to take their advice on treatments.
In a June question-and-answer video, the influencer said TikTok and the internet were “horrible” places to discuss health, which is why she wouldn’t share her diagnosis.
Instead, she wanted to focus on saying positive affirmations, including the power of the body to heal itself.
“I believe God can work miracles,” she said.
