TikTok personality Taylor Rousseau Grigg's family 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 from complications of asthma and Addison's disease, a representative confirmed to TODAY.com.

The lifestyle influencer reportedly died on October 4th. 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. “In the past year, Taylor has endured more pain and suffering than most people endure in a lifetime,” he said of his late wife. “And yet she was still such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her. “

He described Taylor as “courageous and strong” and added: “Her trust in the Lord outweighed every other circumstance she faced, even in her darkest hours.” I know she saved my life and many others out there saved.”

The couple shared a video in August to celebrate their one-year anniversary.

Addison's disease is a rare disease

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

Symptoms include adnominal pain, diarrhea, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, hyperpigmentation and low blood pressure, according to the medical center. People between the ages of 30 and 50 are often affected. One in 100,000 people suffer from the disease.

In an interview with Newsweek, a woman named Laura Bates spoke about her experience with Addison's disease after hearing the news of Taylor's death. She has been battling the disease since the early 2000s.

“My main symptoms were extreme, bone-aching fatigue, weakness, unintentional weight loss, thirst, salt cravings, dizziness and low blood pressure,” Bates told the outlet. “I later noticed patches of discolored skin, particularly on my legs. This is known as 'Addison tan'.”

Over the summer, Taylor posted a health update to her followers. In the video, she talked about letting go of the facade and finding peace with her family. She also responded to someone who said it looked like her “life” had been taken away from her.

“I feel like I'm fighting for life every day. When I didn't necessarily know what was wrong with me, I would lay in bed in pain and just wish I was dead,” 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 survive, to be here. It just sucks.”

Cameron shares GoFundMe

In his statement, Cameron shared a GoFundMe. Cameron mentioned that Taylor was in and out of the hospital throughout their marriage and they had no insurance. He also noted that their organs would be donated.

“It is with our deepest condolences that we note 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 reads.

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

According to GoFundMe, the family plans to organize a fundraiser in her name to celebrate her life.
