Following the "sudden and unexpected" death of Taylor Rousseau Grigg, one of her final videos has resurfaced in which she spoke about her health concerns.
Fans of the 25-year-old TikToker - known for her vibrant personality - have been left heartbroken after it was announced that she had passed away last week.
The devastating news was shared by her husband, Cameron Griggs, in a heartbreaking statement to fans.
Just months before her untimely death, Taylor shared a candid video addressing her health concerns, which had sparked speculation among her followers.
On August 8, Taylor took to TikTok to respond to fans who noticed she seemed "unhappy" in her recent videos.
In an eight-minute heart-to-heart from her camper, she confronted rumors about her marriage and personal well-being. "I know a lot of people have had a lot of opinions about my videos and some people have said I look unhappy... some people have opinions about what they think is wrong with me," Taylor expressed, setting the stage for a deeply personal disclosure.
Contrary to the whispers, Taylor was quick to credit husband Cameron as her pillar of strength. "Cameron is the best thing that ever happened to me," she gushed, dismissing any doubts about her marriage contributing to her distress.
"He dug me out of the hole that I was in … and he carried me, and is still carrying me, and has for a while. He’s a great husband and great guy," she said.
She shared that her health took a turn for the worse and that she "got sick" right after their wedding in August 2023, which had been a shadow over their newlywed bliss.
Taylor revealed the severity of her condition, describing her daily battle as feeling like she had to "fight for life."
"I barely found out what was wrong with me, so I was just struggling that whole time feeling like I was going to die," she admitted, in a now-harrowing realization.
"That’s exactly what I told Cameron the other day, it just feels like I have to fight for life, to live every single day. And that’s hard on somebody and obviously that shows when I’m filming,” Taylor added.
"I’m unhappy with the circumstances that my body is in but I’m kind of paying the consequences for my own actions for putting my body through more than it could handle."
Over the weekend following her passing, Cameron announced the devastating news on Instagram, sharing a series of photographs that captured happier times.
"This past year, Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime. And in spite of that, she still has been such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her," he wrote.
In a final act of generosity, Taylor's organs were donated - an act he says Taylor would have wanted.
"More than anything Taylor would want to know that she’s continuing to save people’s lives even after she’s gone from this world," Cameron wrote.
He added that, "even though her earthly body may have failed her, her memory and life will be carried on forever."
"While her earthly body is still here waiting to give the gift of life, we know her spirit is in heaven dancing in the streets made of gold with all her beauty and grace," the grieving husband added. "Her endless shoe/boot collection. And her rhinestones and turquoise jewelry.
"She’s no longer in pain, but her body has been made whole in Jesus name. We can praise God that she will endure no more suffering and she is truly set free from these earthly chains! SHES BEEN MADE WHOLE AND PERFECT!"
"I cling to the fact of knowing that we will be seeing her again! And we will be able to spend all of eternity together," Cameron concluded.
With medical bills and funeral expenses mounting, and no insurance to cover the costs, Cameron shared a GoFundMe link to gather support. As of this writing, more than $40,000 has been raised.
No cause of death has been reported at this time.
Our thoughts continue to go out to Taylor's family, friends, and fans at this time.
