    Vaseline Posted on

    The family of TikTok personality Taylor Rousseau Grigg revealed the cause of the 25-year-old’s recent death.

    Taylor, who had an audience of 1.5 million followers on the social media platform, died due to complications from asthma and Addison’s disease, a rep confirmed to TODAY.com.

    The lifestyle influencer reportedly died on October 4. Her husband, Cameron, shared his grief in a heartbreaking post on Instagram.

    “No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age. Over the past year, Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people experience in a lifetime,” he explained of his late wife. “And despite that, she has still been so light and always brought joy to everyone around her. “

    Describing Taylor as “brave and strong,” he added, “Her trust in the Lord outweighed all other circumstances she faced, even in her darkest hours. I know she saved my life and so many others.”

    The couple shared a video in honor of their one-year anniversary in August.

    Addison’s disease is a rare condition

    According to the Cleveland Clinic, Addison’s disease is a rare chronic condition that occurs when the adrenal glands “don’t produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.”

    Symptoms include adnominal pain, diarrhea, myalgia, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, hyperpigmentation and low blood pressure, according to the medical center. It usually affects people between the ages of 30 and 50. One in 100,000 people suffer from the disease.

    In an interview with Newsweek, a woman named Laura Bates talked about her experience with Addison’s disease after the news of Taylor’s death. She has struggled with the condition since the early 2000s.

    “My main symptoms were extreme, painful fatigue, weakness, unintentional weight loss, thirst, salt cravings, dizziness and low blood pressure,” Bates told the outlet. “Later I noticed discolored spots on the skin, especially on my legs. This is known as ‘Addison’s tan.'”

    Over the summer, Taylor posted a health update for her followers. In the video, she talked about letting go of a facade and being at peace with her family. She also responded to someone who said it seemed like “the life” had drained out of her.

    “I feel like I’m fighting for life every day. “If I didn’t necessarily know what was happening to me, I’d be in bed… in pain and just wanting to die,” Taylor said through tears. “Because I just wanted it to end. And I don’t necessarily feel that way now, but like I said, every day I feel like I have to fight to live, to be here. It’s just stupid.”

    Cameron shares GoFundMe

    In his statement, Cameron shared a GoFundMe. Cameron said Taylor was in and out of the hospital during their marriage and they had no insurance. He also noted that her organs were donated.

    “It is with our deepest condolences that we acknowledge the passing of Taylor, who has now spread her wings. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her,” the caption read.

    As of Friday afternoon, nearly $52,000 has been raised so far. The goal is set at $100,000.

    According to the GoFundMe, the family plans to host a benefit in her name to celebrate her life.
