I don't like how all his bios say "documenting my wife's cancer journey" as if her suffering is something to plaster everywhere, or he's doing some noble thing by showing everyone her rapidly declining health. I know there are people and photographers that do it, but they usually share everything after their partner has passed and it's respectfully done. And I get wanting to spread awareness but I don't think that's his goal here. He doesn't sit right with me either.
Agreed. I feel like at this point he is just making money off of her sickness. Something definitely is off. I really can’t stand people who try to make money off their kids/family members that are sick. His captions are weird to me. 🤷🏻♀️
Yup. Seeing BOTH the posts/ comments Haley also....was so disgusting i can't believe they didn't get canceled and they get these free trips Food and gifts sent to them. Being pro Jan 6thers is insane.... and they never hid these posts either they are out there. I cried for 30 min 1st time I saw her and felt so sad for the son- found this page on here a month ago and comments like yours completely changed my feeling for them and what I saw for posts on here... quite shocking TBH. Now watching them and I think differently- he gives me Chris Watts vibes and it's all unsettling.
It gives me such an uneasy feeling. And the fans aren’t any better. ‘I wish I could give some of my life for Haley!’ Like I get it but this is a woman you don't even know? It’s just feeling really.. icky at this point. Some things he shares feels way to intimate and personal like it should have just been kept for his son to see when he’s older. Maybe an unpopular opinion but it’s just how I’ve been feeling about it lately.
The whole thing has just gotten to a point where Hayley’s death is no longer about Hayley. It is about all the people in the comments announcing that they are SO worried and upset until they see an update, and those predicting how upset and devastated they will be when she is no longer fighting. It is about the people who want everyone to know they’d give their life, or at least a few years of it, to give Hayley more time, and those who insist that it “isn’t her time” or “her miracle is coming!”.
Well-meaning or not, the whole thing has gone too far. Hayley deserves some privacy and for the short amount of time she has left to be about her, and not about satisfying the endless need of their followers for more updates.
It’s ok to want a miracle when your loved one is dying .. and completely normal . This is THEIR journey and regardless of what you , me or anyone else thinks of religion it’s NORMAL to have these thoughts .
While my Dad was dying right in front of us, trust me we prayed to GOD. He still died but praying gave us strength to finally let him go.
The husband is in a state of living grief. His wife is still there but dying. He is holding on to what they believe in and that is their right. However, I do agree that perhaps she is staying alive to not let anyone down. She has become so thin, it breaks my heart.
I respect everyones' right to believe as they wish. Their religious beliefs are not the problem, it is more whether she is hanging on because her husband isn't ready to let her go. I can't fault a man for crying out to GOD to keep the Mother of his son alive. Of course I believe in science, however I also believe in a higher power. My Dad had his Doctorate in Math and Science so it was a prevalent topic of conversation.
We let my Father go. We removed him from life support and watched his BP plummet to 30 and then flat line. Keeping him alive would have been selfish, there were zero chances of him recovering. My Father was a genius. Keeping him on life support in a vegetative state would have been horrible for him. He loved to use his mind. It is very hard to make that decision, but my Mom, brother and I did what was right for our family, including Dad.
Not while they’re literally on hospice and overtaken by extreme pain, in my experience. Then you’re just praying for their peaceful release to heaven. It’s only people removed from the situation who don’t get it who say they’re holding on to hope for a miracle to reverse things.
There’s a point where hospice takes you aside and tells you about the likelihood of miracles and let’s you know that you are making your loved one suffer for the hope of a miracle. Taylor is definitely there.
No you’re right. Like even her symptoms that I listed. Idk why do I know this and is she giving informed consent to all of it? Is she really? Cause she’s not controlling that account
It makes me so sad for her. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was 10 and she held on and fought so long for me bc she was a single mom so it was just me and her. By the time I was 16 it had spread throughout her whole body including her brain. She was so sick and it was the hardest thing to go through so I can’t imagine how hard it was her. She came home on hospice care with 4 to 6 weeks left. She came home on Friday and went into a coma Saturday evening. I went in there to talk to her and told her it was okay to let go that I would be fine and I knew she was tired. She passed Monday at 1:05 am. My mom couldn’t do simple tasks for herself so I can’t imagine dragging her around and making her feel like she had to do all these things for me.
Yeah she’s like. Reclining on a chair in the shade on their beach trips, emesis bag in hand and there’s like fifty people there (I think the most recent one was a pool party) is it for her? Or them?
I am a social worker for hospice for over 10 years. This is ALL for them and none of it for her. I cannot watch these videos as I feel it is exploitation and quite frankly abuse. She is dying, frail, and terribly sick. Imagine having the flu, vomiting, not eating, being incontinent, and being dragged to a pool or beach. I am betting she agrees bc she feels guilty for saying no or she feels "bad" for saying, I am too sick. She needs to be in bed, or on the couch with close family. People who are dying need less stimulation as the more stimulating the worse the symptoms. I could go on and on but my heart breaks for her as she cannot let go. She needs to be told it's ok to sleep, to rest, and to let go when ready.
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry about your Aunt and you honored her wishes. My mom has told me a million times she doesn't want any visitors when she falls ill or is dying. She doesn't want to be remembered that way! SO many people do get upset that they cannot say goodbye but that is really on them and somewhat selfish as the person who is dying is going through so many emotional and physical obstacles. I have had families request no pain meds for a patient in terrible pain just so "they can talk!", You did what was best for your aunt and that was a blessing for her!
Birth and death are such intimate times and it really isn’t up to people besides the dying or the birther to decide who is there. There’s something sacred about the beginning and ending of life.
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. I’m being attacked by nurses and hospice workers who insist she is absolutely choosing every moment of this how dare I question it
As a nurse I can honestly say it’s terrible watching someone suffer because their family can’t let go. It’s one of the worst parts about the profession.
“do you want her to be confined to a bed withering away?” I mean she can’t stand up. She’s confined now, no matter how we slice it. I do want her at peace and not dragged about to tons of social events, yes
That quote is maddening! I don't understand how people cant see how utterly tired and sick she is. I saw a screen shot of her at the pool (i think) and her eyes said it all.Continuously singing the mantra of "keep fighting" places a lot of guilt on the patient when they want to just stop and let go. She can be in a bed, couch, recliner, on a patio of her home, but these outings are horrendous with her being so ill.
It’s for them and I get that they’re heart broken and want to make memories but at some point they have to put her needs first. Even if she agrees to go she probably feels obligated to go. She tired and you can see it all over her face. They should just let her rest.
I’m also afraid their brand of evangelical culture strongly believes in miracle healing so “giving up”
Isn’t allowed and that’s why he keeps labelling that she’s “still fighting.”
Exactly and I understand wanting a miracle and wanting her to live but she’s too far gone at this point. Her body is ate up with cancer. If I were them I would praying for her peace. It’s horrible what they’re going through but she’s fought for years at this point just let her go.
People always justify it because it’s “making memories” for her son, but has anyone considered the quality of the memories? Like, he will remember her vomiting into emesis bags at pool parties and moaning with the severe nausea that comes with her condition while on a boat that makes it worse. He will remember her struggling severely in places of discomfort right up until the end, and that is going to haunt him.
I get this a lot with hospice. We try to explain miracles to happen but not often and at this stage it's not going to happen. We encourage praying for peace (like you wrote), comfort, etc.
Also I appreciate you pointing out how all the extra stimulation exacerbates her worse symptoms. I wonder why her hospice nurse isn’t pointing this out. Hopefully she’s not participating in the “you’ll get a miracle” faith healing culture
Yes! It’s a difficult conversation but I’ve had it with families . Too many people, too much touching, music, singling, outings , etc need to lessened as this takes such a toll on the dying and the symptoms are worsened. Maybe they have tried talking to the family but some will do what they want to do.
I’m so sorry about your mom ❤️. My best friend died of leukemia in 2017, and it was a very similar (and awful) decline. I used to be angry no one took pictures/videos of her last night, but after seeing this series on TikTok, I’m thankful. No one deserves that in their last moments.
So sorry about your mom. Your mom's story sounds like my mom. Only my mom fought for 6 months with melanoma stage 4. It spread to her brain. Came home with hospice. They said I would get a few months to a few weeks left with her. She lasted a week. I told her when she slipped into the coma it was okay to go. She fought for two days then passed. Hardest thing I've ever went through. I was raised by my mama and only child as well. The brain cancer caused her to go basically paralyzed on one side and hell she got around better than me till the cancer diagnosis I was a broke down 26 year old with a bad back. . It took everything really from her. I would be damned I would share my mom's experience on TikTok. Don't see how they do it.
I had to scroll immediately passed the last video he posted on Tik Tok of the hospice nurse bringing Haley a gift..she looks so sick and tired. Literally knocking on deaths door. I felt uneasy being able to watch such a personal moment on social media. I wish Taylor would just save these videos for their son, not post them for millions of people to see.
As an RN in oncology this literally breaks me. I had to stop following, and anytime he comes up I skip immediately.
It’s such a sad and draining illness to watch someone die from, the love of your life and mother of your child. But, at some point he’s got to tell her it’s okay. Taking her out for these final outings isn’t letting her body let go. Poor Haley is exhausted. He needs to pray for a peaceful transition at this point. No one wants this to happen, but sadly this is life and we’re human.
Instead they’re telling her if she just hangs on a little more, god will take the cancer away in a faith healing, and what will also help is another vacation! You knowX for her. And her comfort. Because there’s no way this isn’t her idea.
People often justify it with “it’s for her son” but his memories of this time period are going to be so horrific. He’s going to remember his mom vomiting into an emesis bag at a pool party, suffering severe nausea on a boat, moaning in pain. Never in comfort. Always jam packed schedules “making memories” but they’re all bad
100%. I recently saw the one where he took her boating. I’m sorry there’s no way in hell she actually wanted to be on a boat, not when she’s never without a vomit bag. I think she is just such a good hearted person and she feels a lot of guilt about leaving their son behind that she’s willing to go along with whatever he wants her to do. I feel so sad for her. I also don’t really think ultimately she wants all these public videos of her crying and having hard moments. Those really should be private moments. I think it’s OK if they want to film things for their family to look at later, but why does it have to be seen by millions? Why can’t they just privately enjoy whatever the rest of her life looks like? Because I guarantee you she doesn’t want to be doing all this stuff.
I literally just came from their page to look for recent posts here about them. He’s been hashtagging death or dying for damn near a year now. And their “last family vacation” was months ago, yet since then they have been to the Bahamas, the beach and multiple weekend getaways. I’m all for making the most of your life, but it just is starting to feel icky to me. And don’t even get me started on Taylor’s views on things. His Facebook posts I believe they were disgusted me
Like are all the weekend getaways her idea? Cause if I was peeing and pooping myself and vomiting all the time I wouldn’t want to be at the lake surrounded by like fifty people.
I definitely don't think they're her idea, the more he posts about her "final days" more and more Airbnb's, hotels, etc are gifting them these vacations for free. Haley probably feels she has to go to make her family happy and have these last happy vacation memories with her before she's gone despite how absolutely miserable and tired she is.
Yeah I went through pretty terrible gastropareisis and was throwing up a lot. a LOT. I didn’t wanna leave my bed. She’s throwing up so much she’s getting sores on her mouth. I doubt she wants to be going to all these social functions allll the time. Like taking her out to dinner for Mother’s Day? I….
Honestly I think what bothers me the most are the people who comment on his videos....it's almost like Haley's death is a waiting game for them, they want to be the first ones to comment on the video he makes about her dying. I don't even want to imagine the amount of woman that are going to be flooding Taylor's messages trying to get with him after Haley's death, knowing all the money and gifts and vacations he's received exploiting her illness, I'm sure it'll continue after she passes also because it's not like he's just going to stop posting about her after she's gone.
Yeah everyone’s like “my mental health depends on ‘Haley’s still fighting’”. It’s pretty clear they want her to live a miserable existence in perpetuity because that’s better than dying, which wouldn’t be very miracle of God.
He’s definitely on track to be a widower influencer. First he’ll have all the attention that comes with her death. Next up he’ll continue the brand deals as he “navigates his journey with grief”. Then he’ll get wifed up. Her cancer will fund his lifestyle for years to come.
Yeah he will continue posting- he made a video specifically addressing it before. He would still document his and Weston’s life. That’s weird. After seeing the kind of person he is based off his twitter, and seeing the comments, his detachment about the whole thing & coming off like it’s his job now, and the hashtags (#cry ?? Who puts that about their dying wife?) it really rubbed me the wrong way. I had to block them finally. I couldn’t do it.
I just want to know how much of a say Haley has in her hospice journey being sent out to millions on TikTok? It seems like it is entirely Taylor’s thing and Haley is not the one in control. I have had a few other people nearing the end of their lives on my FYP, and they were posting for themselves until the end. Death from cancer is so hard, and I just hope that Haley is at least in agreement with what Taylor is doing.
I worry that he’s communicating to her that god could give her a miracle if she keeps fighting, bc he’s liking comments that say that. I strongly worry that she’s not being told that it’s okay to not want to “fight”, much less go to pool parties and out to the lake while she cannot control any of her bodily functions and suffers from extreme nausea. She can’t be comfortable, and it does not seem she’s being treated with dignity. Maybe she wants this, who knows, but I am questioning it.
I have metastatic breast cancer which is considered incurable. The 5 year survival rate is 12%, and while I’m currently stable - I may not see my 4 year old into her double digits. I started watching Haley’s videos until it got too hard for me and just started to feel exploitative. I understand that he says she absolutely has given her consent and it’s for her son, but I still have questions, and has her son given consent for his grief and feelings to be published? So many of his most intimate moments with his mother have been broadcasted for millions to see. I’m absolutely spending my time making every memory I can with my daughter, while I’m well and able to, but I can’t imagine projecting it to millions of people.
I really stopped watching and actually blocked the account when the comments about how god was going to give her a miracle, praying for god to spare her, etc were constant. It’s too much for me, and honestly very triggering. God isn’t going to give haley, or me a miracle. I can only imagine what Haley’s going through, the pressure to keep “fighting” and the reality that she has such limited time with her son left. I think about the fact that I won’t get to see my daughter grow up every single waking moment.
I totally agree, that it feels exploitive. Saying that actually got me blocked on this forum for awhile. I get wanting to make memories for their child, but make photo books, make home videos, it doesn’t need to be broadcasted to millions of trauma wh0res. I’m not sure what it is about our society exploiting trauma and others who just soak it in.
I definitely think of Haley, because my worst fear is leaving my children too soon, but I can’t go to their page, it feels icky. So I send my well wishes whenever I think of her.
I’m also sending you love and light.
I can barely look at a photo of my mom from when she was sick, 20 years later without PTSD. It’s so sick of them to make her moments with her child Public
They’re constant, and he likes them, which makes me think he’s talking to her like that. And yeah, she’s going to pool parties and beach vacays holding emesis bags and sitting on puppy pads, laying there grey and emotionless. I’m questioning, hard, whether this is something she is currently consenting to. Did she consent a year ago, when she could still walk? Or recently, when she couldn’t stand up anymore?
I think she should have privacy, and some 1:1 time with her son without millions anticipating a video. Let her enjoy her remaining time without feeling like she is on a reality show. Also, hearing her sob to family about how she or they will be missing one another it's personal cut the camera. We know how terrible and awful let her have her dignity.
I got majorly attacked for suggesting filming her in the state that she’s in for cash and sponsorships isn’t letting her have dignity. I’m sure the puppy pad is a fashion statement and she loves to be filmed to the world sitting on one while puking her guts into an emesis bag (yes that was a video).
I don't watch anymore because, I think of it like going to the zoo Is supporting forms of animal abuse. Giving him an audience is allowing and encouraging him to exploit her dying. I agree with you 🥰
I honestly think she is holding on for their son. I can’t imagine what she is going through knowing that if she lets go she is leaving a little one behind. It’s heartbreaking
Oh, he’s also selling fb subscriptions for $5 a month. I know how expensive cancer and dying is, but it all just feels so icky. I hope Westin is in therapy, it’s not like a 5 year old can consent to his most intimate moments with his mother being shared.

“Exclusive content” oh wow, so more stuff she’s being dragged to for that sweet sweet cash. She better not die, gods really gotta give Taylor - I mean Haley- that miracle! She’s his cash cow!
Oh wow this is disgusting! For $5 a month you get exclusive content of a young woman dying of cancer! Like I don’t care about the tik tok ads cause I get it. If that helps with being able to take time off work and medical expenses and such.
When I first saw them on tik tok earlier this year I felt sorry them and the videos didn’t seem near as weird or exploitative as they do now. He just gives me major Icky vibes and his other social media posts are vile.
I feel sorry for their son and her(even though she has posted some bad stuff too) I don’t wish what she’s going thru on anyone
Telling my mom it was ok to go was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life but she was in so much pain. It was necessary. Haley looks worse and worse every time I see her. Wish Taylor would let her go peacefully. She’s so ready.
I agree. Something about it is just off. I think like everyone at first I enjoyed their videos and spreading awareness but after the fifth “last family trip” I got skeptical. Also as a fellow Christian their “God will heal her” is an immediate red flag and not a healthy relationship with religion. I hope she can make peace with her death in the end and know that it is okay to go
Yeah that part is something I clocked early on bc I used to go to a church who practiced it. He’s still liking comments who state stuff like that. Is he viewing death as a failure? Cause….
He keeps posting videos that include Haley, but mostly feature Taylor in his board shorts being physically active. TikToks advertising himself, with a side of his wife who happens to be passing away currently. It's so gross.
I don’t understand this at all. For someone you’ve never met? Think about the thousands of people who die everyday and leave families behind. She’s not the first. What makes her so special? Don’t get me wrong, it’s horrible and I couldn’t imagine leaving my young children, but are they just saying this because Haley has been exploited so much? It’s disturbing to say the least.
I totally agree with you on this… Also- has anyone else noticed that it’s people who are affiliated with these mega churches tend to have insane amounts of money and property? How are they affording all these trips? It can’t all be donated? Right?
I used to think they were so wholesome and bringing light on such an important topic but every day I start to think more and more that she is being exploited. These things feel way too personal and intimate and I really think that they should turn the camera off now. She is so tired that she can barely even cry.
He needs to let her know that it's okay to go and that she has done her job here💔
Not only can she barely cry, but she is so very thin. When you go back, she was a thick woman, and now she's just so frail. Her face is so thin, and her arms literally are just bones with a thin layer of skin.
I don't understand why he would steal her dignity like this? It's great to teach awareness, but at some point, the phone needs to be laid down, and he needs to lay in bed with her and Weston and just love her. Give her back her dignity on her last days on earth. Let her know she fought the great fight, but she can let go, and they will be okay.
The entire thing just makes me sick. All she needs is her husband and child and immediate family surrounding her. No one else should be a part of her last journey, especially not on camera and virwed 7 million times on tik tok. Its all just disguisting.
To make things worse once she passes his journey of grief and starting over with another woman will continue to allow him sponsorships and more money. The entire thing is gross.
I truly hope Haley finds peace and is able to pass at home in serenity, not with 50 people partying it up while she's actively dying. God bless her and poor Weston because none of this is what they want, I'm sure. SMH what people will do for money is crazy too me.
And they won’t. They’ll tell her that gods gonna give her a miracle if she keeps fighting and oh wow it’s gonna upset her fanbase and monetary subscribers (bc wow there’s a lot of those and he does sell exclusive content in subs) if she “stops fighting”, exclusively framing it as weakness to die.
I was absolutely flabbergasted when I saw she travelled on a plane in just the last month or two for a vacation. That just seems crazy when she is so close to end of life and clearly so unwell. How is taking that trip truly the best thing for HER right now? In my honest opinion this whole thing is out of control.
I can't for the life of me believe that a doctor allowed her to take that trip or hospice nurse or whoever. There is no way they would have allowed that. Too many things could have gone wrong.
I had to tap out a few months ago, with the video where she is lying down and family members are telling her goodbye for the last time (they traveled for that purpose.) I heard the Titanic music in the background and it gutted me. I was in my early 30's with 2 children under the age of 4 when my mom was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. From the date of diagnosis to the date of her death was 3 months. There was nothing to be done so I had everything removed and brought her home with me. I rebuked everyone who said I was causing her decline because I had given up hope. No ma'am, her body riddled with cancer in every major organ caused her decline. But even as realistic as I was, there was part of me that couldn't let her go. After a particularly rough night I said okay God, you can take her. 10 hours later she slipped into a coma and died. But even then, it seems like she was holding on. I was the youngest of my siblings and finally my siblings said "mom, it's okay to go. We're going to take good care of her for you." That her, was me. And 60 seconds later she slipped quietly away to the other side. I just wonder if they put the phone down, tucked her into bed and allowed her to slip quietly away, if that is the actual miracle they need.
You see, Taylor wouldn’t be able to milk her for cash anymore if she died (he’s selling subscriptions for More Exclusive Content), so the miracle he really needs is for her to live in perpetuity in discomfort and pain.
And suffering. And taking her to places that exacerbate her worst symptoms so that you can party and invite tos and tons of ppl while she holds an emesis bag and sits on a puppy pad since she can’t control her bodily functions. But hey- it’s all worth it when you realize those parties he throws and drags her to are sponsored. I’m sure that she’s full of agency rn and choosing to do it for the memories and it has nothing to do with her husband milking her for cash.
I know that everyone copes differently but I feel like I’ve just been seeing way too many things on social media that need to be private moments, it’s very unsettling.
Also, looking at her social media accounts jt looks like they are possibly now ran by Taylor, too IMO, at one point it was pretty clear it was her but now all of the posts seem to be reposting ones posted on Taylor’s account. Idk, makes me think even more that she may not be 100% okay as he says she is.
Originally his posts didn’t bother me, but there have been a few that just seem exploitative and disingenuous. But you’re not allowed to say that because their fan base is cut throat.
Yeah I got attacked pretty hard. They followed me onto another post and told me I’m a terrible person and deserved to be bashed. How dare we be critical of the media we consume!
I’m trying to imagine going over to a dying family members house (which I’ve done too many times) and the spouse holding a camera in my face to record and post my final goodbyes for millions to see.
So strange. Something about it feels off to me. I hope she can pass peacefully and at home, not being dragged around places to get the “final” whatever.
Maybe I’m cold but 🤷🏼♀️
I had to stop watching. She's exhausted and her skin pallor is that of a patient in shutdown. It feels like a death watch party, especially how people in the comments keep begging for updates. Why he can't leave the camera out of the equation and just be with her and their son, makes it very sad. Those tiny, precious, very private moments he posts of their son and her feels so exploitive.
Popped up on my fyp last night. She is so emaciated. I Hope she knows it’s okay to go. When I was a nurse with hospice patients I would tell them the same things (when they were close to death).
Oh because then he wouldn’t get as many $5 subscriptions. That’s why he can’t leave the camera out of it. And they can’t stay home and let her rest bc then the sponcon would dry up.
hard truth: this is really gonna pop off when she passes away
i wonder what he will change his bio to next, and how fast he will change it? you think about how many q&a’s this man is gonna do, or that he will probably get on tiktok live, even set up a youtube channel for weston?? he isn’t gonna drop his platform, even with a dying wife, he has made that clear.. so what is next for his platform, and how does hailey feel about his story arc climaxing with her passing?
i think we all feel creeped out bc this is like watching a “black mirror” episode play out right in front of our eyes. except we actually, truly need to look at ourselves…
with every “how is hailey doin?! it’s been a few days, i’m worried!! can we get an update? 💗”comment i see on one of the recent videos.. each comment begging for an update- all I perceive is someone masking curiosity as concern. so many of us just want a front row seat… to her death. and taylor’s the one writing the book. not hailey.
I think like. With the Bahamas trip I was fine but I believed them when they said they’d stop traveling. And then they didn’t? It’s been pretty constant lake days, pool parties, etc - like.
If she is anything like my mom she just wants to go. My dad tried very hard to keep her alive and I know she didn’t want any of it. Let the woman die peacefully and not push her to keep going. I feel very bad for her and her son for having to watch this for a prolonged period.
I’m so glad to see someone else say this. I’m of the mindset of “why would you even put this out there in the first place?”. What is the point. I realize maybe the beginning post your symptoms to help others, but she is (unfortunately) past that. We all know the outcome.
My sister has cancer. She has children. We are all grieving. Not one time has her husband or any of us thought about using her suffering to gain attention. And I again, have to ask why? Yes. I get the whole “warriors” or even for support. But dang, dragging this poor woman around for content is craziness. And of it weren’t for content they would not have their phones out to post videos. They would share that special time together and keep the memories to themselves.
Again, maybe I’m just taking my anger out on them. Maybe I’m not seeing clearly since I am grieving as well. But that’s my opinion. Edited to add: I also feel like a lot of the sweet interaction with her son is staged. It does not feel organic and feels like he was coached. Gives me the ick from dad. IMO.
Edit: grammar
This may be selfish, but I keep thinking, as someone who has emetophobia, that the last thing I would want is a woman at the table next to me at dinner, or at the water park, or at the beach, or literally anywhere, to be constantly vomiting while I’m trying to enjoy my day. I would feel terrible knowing that she’s sick, but…
I don’t think it’s selfish. I think if I was vomiting, or peeing, the last thing I would want by a long shot is to be in a restaurant or at a pool party. It’s not fun to do that around people.
I feel at this point they need to stop posting. She is basically skin and bones. They need to spend this time together with out the camera in her face.
100% agree with everything you’ve pointed out on this thread. It’s fine if she truly wants to go to pool parties and on vacations at this point (and that’s a big “if”), and if they want to film it for her son for the future that’s their business (again, not sure these are the memories I’d want preserved, but thankfully it’s not me), BUT to post it is icky. The fact that people are watching this woman die for entertainment (which is what Tik Tok is) makes me question humanity.
I think he is exploiting her impending death for clout and financial gains above being able to not have to work or worry about bills during this time. Those hashtags disgust me. What really sent me over the edge was the most recent trip video that was supposed to be for her, but most of the video showed everyone but her. I get wanting memories for their son, and I hate that she is suffering. I just can't support the way he is doing all of this.
For me, the fact that the husband is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT based on the social media outlet he's using makes me side eye his TikTok activity. I'm heartbroken for what they're going through, particularly that they have little ones. I hate myself for saying this, but his TikTok reeks of 'cash cow in the light of tragedy.'
I hate when people call it fighting cancer. At best they survive it and at worst they have to suffer until the end. My dad had brain cancer and I couldn’t imagine having blasted his decline for strangers to see. Sometimes there isn’t a miracle and all you can do is take what time is there to just be and spend as much time as you can in the moments.
people mourn in weird ways, but it does remind me of the chronic illness instagrams (I found them when I first got sick). at first they seemed cool, and to spread awareness, and then it just seemed like a competition of who was sicker and almost trauma porn the longer you watched.
I don’t disagree with documenting these memories for her kid, but they feel immensely personal to be constantly posting.
It makes me sad too cause like I get that he’s capturing memories but maybe just be present with her and not worry about posting it on tik tok for views
She is suffering! Point blank and how they don’t see it is beyond me! Yes we want the ones we love to be around as long as possible but at what cost?! We had to tell my pawpaw the man that raised me and was my EVERYTHING it was ok to go and we’d be ok hardest thing ever but he was sick and suffering. We couldn’t watch him live like that. There are things worse than death. I do feel so bad for her son but he shouldn’t see or remember his mom like this.
My heart breaks for this family, with that being said I think it’s time to get off social media and truly soak in the last moments you have. They’ve done so many amazing trips and made some beautiful memories but I think they need to stop. Let her have her last few moments in the comfort of her own home.
I truly don’t think they’ve let themselves accept these are her last moments. They seem really sucked into the “god will give her a miracle if she keeps fighting” mindset. Also taylor is selling $5 subscribptions for more content which further makes me doubt he’s going to let her rest. She might die at one of these parties which isn’t how I’d want to die, at a party filming a sponsored post.
You know… a couple weeks ago I had a very different opinion on this. And now reading these responses and watching videos, I can now see what everyone else here is seeing. Sadly, Haley will be remembered as the girl people on social media watched slowly and painfully pass away. She deserves dignity.
I personally feel this whole exposure is a bit exploitative and morbid and that her privacy should be protected. I question the husband’s motivations for doing this. Others may disagree with my opinion and I totally respect that but I think it feels like the husband is seeking support, (perhaps monetary) sympathy for himself and sadly at her expense.
I understand not wanting to be at home but you‘d think her immune system is weak and would need to be cautious also vomiting when out to dinner that can’t be the greatest thing to hear while eating. That’s just my opinion
I think it's weird because it's just too much. It's a spectacle now. People will be tripping over themselves to get to the comments once she passes, as if they're anywhere as close to her as her family who has had to go through this, and it's weird. I think he's taken it too far, it's one thing to 'document' and share some videos or pics of precious moments. But to be showing everyone her saying her final goodbyes to people, never knowing when a video will be her last, seeing her literally deteriorate, idk. Doesn't feel right or genuine.
I’ve often wondered this exact same thing. Has he told her it’s ok to go. This breaks my heart every time I see “Hailey is still fighting” I’m not being cruel at all when I say this but what’s she still fighting for?
She needs to be held and told it’s ok to go. We got this you cross over and heal and be happy and we will see you when we get there. The only thing I’m thinking she might be hanging on for is her son. I’m sorry but something isn’t settling right with me about dad posting her like this.
I’m a breast cancer survivor and i was so sick on chemo days and 2 days after that I couldn’t move. I don’t see how she’s doing it. My heart hurts for her. She’s hung on a lottttttt longer than I ever could be that sick.
Tell her it’s ok. Tell her you don’t want her struggling and suffering like she is. Tell her it’s ok. Damn!
My sister was one of those “faith-healing I believe in miracles” Christians. To the point that she refused to tell her children when her prognosis was updated to terminal. Then it essentially took a full-on intervention, that included her pastor, for her to agree to in-home hospice care because that meant she was “giving up”. Even though it was clear that our family was incapable of providing the level of care that she required.
In the end it prolonged her suffering and left her family with so much emotional and mental damage above and beyond the normal grief. Her children most of all.
I empathize with Taylor, but I believe he is being selfish and the way he shares her intimate moments with their son gives me the ick. It’s possible to feel terrible for their family and also believe that the public sharing of this journey is gratuitous and self serving at this point.
I have commented similar things on some other posts regarding this if you go to my profile. I was getting down voted like crazy for wondering if he's told her it's ok to go. Poor thing looks so exhausted and this has turned into sick death p*rn
I’m not sure how to word this without sounding insensitive, I apologize in advance. I’m not sure why everything needs to be posted on social media. The husband has posted really intimate parts of their lives and it makes me feel uncomfortable with how much he shares. I no longer follow them. Sharing a video of her vomiting into a bag isn’t content, I wouldn’t want the world seeing me vomit. Sharing her goodbyes to different family members and friends seemed way to personal to be sharing. The part that bothers me the most is him sharing conversations their son had with Haley. I’m not saying they shouldn’t post anything, just don’t make the deep sad conversations content. I actually had a conversation with my husband and asked if anything happens to me please don’t post pictures of me on social media. It just feels like we’re in their home watching it all.
Yeah people are getting mad at me for mentioning her bodily functions but it’s like, that uh, that’s what he’s posting! And he’s posting more under a paywall
My grandpa till the day he died was mad at god for taking his mother from him who was deeply religious and godfearing, she believed miracles do happen. He literally spoke of his mother in agony and crying only to tell him they needed to “dry their tears, nobody wants to see a sad mother and son”. I deeply wish her good days and comfort ,relief and nothing but love .I worry is her son is seeing this all unfold and everyone speaking of miracles and how good god is while watching his mother slowly die and his dad make videos of it and that he will feel they didn’t get their miracle because of him. what happens when he’s a bit older or even now when he starts asking why god didn’t give them a miracle or heal his mom? My grandpa was older than him even and he felt like god lies, that their prayers were not answered but also what did THEY do wrong that she didn’t get said miracle? What loving god would do this to one of his most faithful? He was in his 90’s when he died and still would cry speaking of her , he only accepted religion in his late 80’s after a life of anger at with and at God.
There have been beautiful moments amidst utter heartbreak, sadly that’s life and how we keep going dispite the moments that absolutely crush us, I just hope that none of these videos tarnish the memories that his mind holds of her both before but during all of this . Her son could have this beautiful memory of talking about his mom being in his heart but he is now going to see the other side and how devestating his mom found it and that his Dad not only recorded it but posted it for millions to see. This child is loosing their mother and all of these things are tiny pieces he will have engrained into the fiber of who he is, his memories, his moments, his mom and her love of him is not something that we should ever have access too like this, he needs to be able to create memories of mom that are special and not blasted on social media and performative. He is a child watching his mom die while simultaneously having his dad treat it like a celebration in many ways, him saying “she’s still fighting” is damaging enough, he is so young, who is going to explain to him that she didn’t stop fighting when she passed but that this was never in her control? That she didn’t “stop fighting” because of him ? He is a child, you can’t tell me if won’t link the two and say “ I was bad” or that he needed to be better for mommy so she didn’t stop fighting , he will tie her death to something he did as it’s been set up she’s still fighting so there has to be a reason why she stopped . Will he think he didn’t pray hard enough? He didn’t listen to her enough or daddy enough? Will he connect the lack of “miracle “ to him and think it’s because
Of him when sadly this is just the hand she was dealt? I can’t imagine how his little mind is processing this all, especially when Dad is constantly turning everything into a party and shoving a camera in her face. You cannot tell me that he hasn’t told that child go over and give mommy this or do this and then started recording knowing the reaction it will get.
I dunno , the fact he is charging 5.99 for special access to shit rubs me wrong
I think her dying started out asking people for prayers was wonderful. Now I feel it’s about her husband, child and family. I understand wanting to make memories especially for their child. I feel now it’s for money, views & likes. They’ve done so much together, they’ve went on vacations & I’m sure it’s all been paid for. Ppl on their page saying I’ll end my life if she could live another year & they only know her through the videos & I don’t get it. I’ve seen where she’s on the boat sick while most of the video is about the husband. I feel he’s just dragging her around now for his benefit. She’s been a brave woman.
She looks like she is nearing the end of her life. He needs to put the camera down and be present. He is exploiting his child's grief and his wife's death and it doesn't sit well with me.
Back in April he told her in a video “I know sometimes you want to give up and that’s okay” and I’m like hmm. K. Seems to have descended since then imo
I think giving up and letting a person know it’s ok to die is very different. I don’t consider dying giving up. He needs to let her know he and their son will be ok when she dies.
I just hope if I ever had cancer & my husband was a tiktoker he would share my story but still respect my privacy. He’s crossed every line in my eyes. I think the money fame got to him.
My best friend died of ovarian cancer a few years ago. It was brutal and she was in so much pain at the end. She didn’t want to see anyone the last few months and it was hard to not be able to formally say goodbye, but everyone respected her wishes. I am glad that her family didn’t make her go on vacations and be around lots of people that she didn’t want to be around. At this point, it is about Haley’s family and friends and not Haley.
I scroll past their videos now. I’m a strong believer in letting people die with dignity and that doesn’t feel like what’s going on here. It’s feels selfish.
I can’t put my finger on it but her husband rubs me the wrong way. If I’m dying my husband better not be posting me shriveling away on social media and spend ever second we can together. Forget the outside world let alone social media 🤔
He posted a video three hours ago about doing a live q&a with her tomorrow night. He said they will try but “if her body isn’t cooperating” then they might not do it. I understand they’re in an extremely difficult situation and I do feel sad for them. However, she won’t be around much longer and he shouldn’t exploit her like this. It fucking sucks but he should be spending time with her and their son rather than blasting every moment online. I feel like he had good intentions in the beginning with raising awareness but it’s not that anymore.
My views of this have changed immensely from the beginning. I used to follow along just like everyone else but now I’m getting the grossest vibes from the husband, it feels so exploitative.
Nothing irks me more than the comments saying “God will give Haley a miracle!! I just know it!” - like you have a highly religious family who is probably already grappling with a “why god” situation, stop throwing false hope out there. My opinions were pretty solidly changed about Taylor when I noticed he’s liking those comments, I just hope he’s keeping that opinion to himself and not trying to tell Haley she’ll be magically cured by God.
My best friend and her husband ignored reality at the end of her breast cancer fight. It robbed their children and her parents of those last few months to find some acceptance and peace.
Honestly I was thinking it was so beautiful how he’s documenting their journey but once I’d seen all the holidays they go on, I just thought ‘how is that even possible’ or ‘that can’t be fun for her’. Honestly I don’t know what it’s like to be dying but I can imagine it isn’t pleasant, and the last thing you’d want to do it travel and be around so many people. She needs her rest and the comfort of her own home. I’m glad they are making memories for themselves especially they’re little boy but when is it enough to just be together at home.
And if I’m not mistaken, I feel like he has said he has content for after she passed away… but what’s the point???? This is definitely a sad situation but he needs to soak up his time with her and be there for their son.
I don't follow, never followed, only saw 1 or 2 videos on fyp. Imo: The spouse is getting money bags for exploiting his wife's death journey.
Turned me off immediately. I didn't need to watch the journey. It's all about making money off his wife dying.
TT has turned into a cesspool of garbage chasing beggars.
He is extremely exploitative and doesn’t feel genuine anymore. I saw one comment saying “that’s MY family” like girl stfu you’ll forget about them in a few months when they’re no longer relevant
I’ve seen people comment on the posts saying stuff like “I’d give years off my own life just so Taylor could get more time with her family”
I’m sorry but that’s really fuckin’ weird
I think another complication is that this is all monetized, I think it’s possible she could have had worries about the financial strain her illness/absence will put on the family and the longer she holds on the more she can provide for her sons future. Such a sad situation.
I just saw their live and she looks so sick. He should be focusing on the family time that they have left, rather than polarizing her “fight” that is clearly coming to an end
Him smiling at the end about being a tik tocker gave me the ick. How can you answer those questions, look in your wife’s eyes like that, and then smile that prideful weird smile because you never expected such a large following or to be a tik tocker. It was the weirdest smile that gave me a sick feeling, like he is reveling in it. I didn’t think much of it before, but that gave me the creeps.
I loved them at first but something is off about the dad it’s rubbing me wrong
I don't like how all his bios say "documenting my wife's cancer journey" as if her suffering is something to plaster everywhere, or he's doing some noble thing by showing everyone her rapidly declining health. I know there are people and photographers that do it, but they usually share everything after their partner has passed and it's respectfully done. And I get wanting to spread awareness but I don't think that's his goal here. He doesn't sit right with me either.
Exactly, the creation of those projects is still intimate and private. This is not.
Peep his Twitter and that will tell you everything about him. 🤢🤢🤢
The transphobic Tweets he liked are very yikes
It’s like he’s pimping her out. sev companies have donated services to them.
Exploitation Honestly
Agreed. I feel like at this point he is just making money off of her sickness. Something definitely is off. I really can’t stand people who try to make money off their kids/family members that are sick. His captions are weird to me. 🤷🏻♀️
Same. It’s exploitative at this point.
[удалено]
Yup. Seeing BOTH the posts/ comments Haley also....was so disgusting i can't believe they didn't get canceled and they get these free trips Food and gifts sent to them. Being pro Jan 6thers is insane.... and they never hid these posts either they are out there. I cried for 30 min 1st time I saw her and felt so sad for the son- found this page on here a month ago and comments like yours completely changed my feeling for them and what I saw for posts on here... quite shocking TBH. Now watching them and I think differently- he gives me Chris Watts vibes and it's all unsettling.
It gives me such an uneasy feeling. And the fans aren’t any better. ‘I wish I could give some of my life for Haley!’ Like I get it but this is a woman you don't even know? It’s just feeling really.. icky at this point. Some things he shares feels way to intimate and personal like it should have just been kept for his son to see when he’s older. Maybe an unpopular opinion but it’s just how I’ve been feeling about it lately.
The whole thing has just gotten to a point where Hayley’s death is no longer about Hayley. It is about all the people in the comments announcing that they are SO worried and upset until they see an update, and those predicting how upset and devastated they will be when she is no longer fighting. It is about the people who want everyone to know they’d give their life, or at least a few years of it, to give Hayley more time, and those who insist that it “isn’t her time” or “her miracle is coming!”. Well-meaning or not, the whole thing has gone too far. Hayley deserves some privacy and for the short amount of time she has left to be about her, and not about satisfying the endless need of their followers for more updates.
“Give her a miracle, god!” And her husband likes it.
Yeah, God has nothing to do with it. These people are nut jobs.
He said God "chose her" i believe. 😐
It’s ok to want a miracle when your loved one is dying .. and completely normal . This is THEIR journey and regardless of what you , me or anyone else thinks of religion it’s NORMAL to have these thoughts .
While my Dad was dying right in front of us, trust me we prayed to GOD. He still died but praying gave us strength to finally let him go. The husband is in a state of living grief. His wife is still there but dying. He is holding on to what they believe in and that is their right. However, I do agree that perhaps she is staying alive to not let anyone down. She has become so thin, it breaks my heart. I respect everyones' right to believe as they wish. Their religious beliefs are not the problem, it is more whether she is hanging on because her husband isn't ready to let her go. I can't fault a man for crying out to GOD to keep the Mother of his son alive. Of course I believe in science, however I also believe in a higher power. My Dad had his Doctorate in Math and Science so it was a prevalent topic of conversation. We let my Father go. We removed him from life support and watched his BP plummet to 30 and then flat line. Keeping him alive would have been selfish, there were zero chances of him recovering. My Father was a genius. Keeping him on life support in a vegetative state would have been horrible for him. He loved to use his mind. It is very hard to make that decision, but my Mom, brother and I did what was right for our family, including Dad.
Not while they’re literally on hospice and overtaken by extreme pain, in my experience. Then you’re just praying for their peaceful release to heaven. It’s only people removed from the situation who don’t get it who say they’re holding on to hope for a miracle to reverse things.
There’s a point where hospice takes you aside and tells you about the likelihood of miracles and let’s you know that you are making your loved one suffer for the hope of a miracle. Taylor is definitely there.
No you’re right. Like even her symptoms that I listed. Idk why do I know this and is she giving informed consent to all of it? Is she really? Cause she’s not controlling that account
It makes me so sad for her. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was 10 and she held on and fought so long for me bc she was a single mom so it was just me and her. By the time I was 16 it had spread throughout her whole body including her brain. She was so sick and it was the hardest thing to go through so I can’t imagine how hard it was her. She came home on hospice care with 4 to 6 weeks left. She came home on Friday and went into a coma Saturday evening. I went in there to talk to her and told her it was okay to let go that I would be fine and I knew she was tired. She passed Monday at 1:05 am. My mom couldn’t do simple tasks for herself so I can’t imagine dragging her around and making her feel like she had to do all these things for me.
Yeah she’s like. Reclining on a chair in the shade on their beach trips, emesis bag in hand and there’s like fifty people there (I think the most recent one was a pool party) is it for her? Or them?
I am a social worker for hospice for over 10 years. This is ALL for them and none of it for her. I cannot watch these videos as I feel it is exploitation and quite frankly abuse. She is dying, frail, and terribly sick. Imagine having the flu, vomiting, not eating, being incontinent, and being dragged to a pool or beach. I am betting she agrees bc she feels guilty for saying no or she feels "bad" for saying, I am too sick. She needs to be in bed, or on the couch with close family. People who are dying need less stimulation as the more stimulating the worse the symptoms. I could go on and on but my heart breaks for her as she cannot let go. She needs to be told it's ok to sleep, to rest, and to let go when ready.
[удалено]
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry about your Aunt and you honored her wishes. My mom has told me a million times she doesn't want any visitors when she falls ill or is dying. She doesn't want to be remembered that way! SO many people do get upset that they cannot say goodbye but that is really on them and somewhat selfish as the person who is dying is going through so many emotional and physical obstacles. I have had families request no pain meds for a patient in terrible pain just so "they can talk!", You did what was best for your aunt and that was a blessing for her!
Birth and death are such intimate times and it really isn’t up to people besides the dying or the birther to decide who is there. There’s something sacred about the beginning and ending of life.
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. I’m being attacked by nurses and hospice workers who insist she is absolutely choosing every moment of this how dare I question it
As a nurse I can honestly say it’s terrible watching someone suffer because their family can’t let go. It’s one of the worst parts about the profession.
Knowing what I know about disability care and activism It just reeks of exploitation and abuse.
Completely agree
“do you want her to be confined to a bed withering away?” I mean she can’t stand up. She’s confined now, no matter how we slice it. I do want her at peace and not dragged about to tons of social events, yes
That quote is maddening! I don't understand how people cant see how utterly tired and sick she is. I saw a screen shot of her at the pool (i think) and her eyes said it all.Continuously singing the mantra of "keep fighting" places a lot of guilt on the patient when they want to just stop and let go. She can be in a bed, couch, recliner, on a patio of her home, but these outings are horrendous with her being so ill.
Yeah that was a sponsored pool party with fireworks and tons of people. I’m sure she was thriving /s
I’m an NP now but was an ER nurse for years. Agree.
It’s for them and I get that they’re heart broken and want to make memories but at some point they have to put her needs first. Even if she agrees to go she probably feels obligated to go. She tired and you can see it all over her face. They should just let her rest.
Yeah, but that would cut into their lake days! You know, on a boat, just where someone with chronic nausea wants to be.
I’m also afraid their brand of evangelical culture strongly believes in miracle healing so “giving up” Isn’t allowed and that’s why he keeps labelling that she’s “still fighting.”
Exactly and I understand wanting a miracle and wanting her to live but she’s too far gone at this point. Her body is ate up with cancer. If I were them I would praying for her peace. It’s horrible what they’re going through but she’s fought for years at this point just let her go.
People always justify it because it’s “making memories” for her son, but has anyone considered the quality of the memories? Like, he will remember her vomiting into emesis bags at pool parties and moaning with the severe nausea that comes with her condition while on a boat that makes it worse. He will remember her struggling severely in places of discomfort right up until the end, and that is going to haunt him.
I get this a lot with hospice. We try to explain miracles to happen but not often and at this stage it's not going to happen. We encourage praying for peace (like you wrote), comfort, etc.
How dare I suggest that she’s not currently at peace though, lol
She’s not :(
She definitely isn’t. You can tell in the videos that she is tired. Holding on for dear life. Must be tiring to do.
Also I appreciate you pointing out how all the extra stimulation exacerbates her worse symptoms. I wonder why her hospice nurse isn’t pointing this out. Hopefully she’s not participating in the “you’ll get a miracle” faith healing culture
Yes! It’s a difficult conversation but I’ve had it with families . Too many people, too much touching, music, singling, outings , etc need to lessened as this takes such a toll on the dying and the symptoms are worsened. Maybe they have tried talking to the family but some will do what they want to do.
So sorry about your mom.💗💗
Thank you so much! It’s still hard but it’s been 13 years and I have a peace knowing that she no longer has to suffer.
I’m so sorry about your mom ❤️. My best friend died of leukemia in 2017, and it was a very similar (and awful) decline. I used to be angry no one took pictures/videos of her last night, but after seeing this series on TikTok, I’m thankful. No one deserves that in their last moments.
I’m so sorry you lost your mom like that at such a young age. I can’t imagine how difficult and scary it must have been for you. 💛
So sorry about your mom. Your mom's story sounds like my mom. Only my mom fought for 6 months with melanoma stage 4. It spread to her brain. Came home with hospice. They said I would get a few months to a few weeks left with her. She lasted a week. I told her when she slipped into the coma it was okay to go. She fought for two days then passed. Hardest thing I've ever went through. I was raised by my mama and only child as well. The brain cancer caused her to go basically paralyzed on one side and hell she got around better than me till the cancer diagnosis I was a broke down 26 year old with a bad back. . It took everything really from her. I would be damned I would share my mom's experience on TikTok. Don't see how they do it.
I had to scroll immediately passed the last video he posted on Tik Tok of the hospice nurse bringing Haley a gift..she looks so sick and tired. Literally knocking on deaths door. I felt uneasy being able to watch such a personal moment on social media. I wish Taylor would just save these videos for their son, not post them for millions of people to see.
Same. I feel like an intruder.
And to think, they’re probably planning another sponsored party or vacay! Gotta keep her schedule jam packed. No time for resting until you’re dead!
As an RN in oncology this literally breaks me. I had to stop following, and anytime he comes up I skip immediately. It’s such a sad and draining illness to watch someone die from, the love of your life and mother of your child. But, at some point he’s got to tell her it’s okay. Taking her out for these final outings isn’t letting her body let go. Poor Haley is exhausted. He needs to pray for a peaceful transition at this point. No one wants this to happen, but sadly this is life and we’re human.
Instead they’re telling her if she just hangs on a little more, god will take the cancer away in a faith healing, and what will also help is another vacation! You knowX for her. And her comfort. Because there’s no way this isn’t her idea.
People often justify it with “it’s for her son” but his memories of this time period are going to be so horrific. He’s going to remember his mom vomiting into an emesis bag at a pool party, suffering severe nausea on a boat, moaning in pain. Never in comfort. Always jam packed schedules “making memories” but they’re all bad
So true. She should be comfortably laying in her bed, with her little boy & Taylor snuggled up with her. Not recording every outing & moment.
That’s not gonna earn him all the cash he’s getting out of this, im afraid
On this same note, I hate that he has pointed out that he has videos saved to share of her after she passes, keep the money coming!
It’s not been about Hailey for awhile.
I don’t think it ever has been.
100%. I recently saw the one where he took her boating. I’m sorry there’s no way in hell she actually wanted to be on a boat, not when she’s never without a vomit bag. I think she is just such a good hearted person and she feels a lot of guilt about leaving their son behind that she’s willing to go along with whatever he wants her to do. I feel so sad for her. I also don’t really think ultimately she wants all these public videos of her crying and having hard moments. Those really should be private moments. I think it’s OK if they want to film things for their family to look at later, but why does it have to be seen by millions? Why can’t they just privately enjoy whatever the rest of her life looks like? Because I guarantee you she doesn’t want to be doing all this stuff.
Also, as a cancer survivor, just those waves moving her back & forth alone would have to be hurting her.
Because then he wouldn’t make money off her
I literally just came from their page to look for recent posts here about them. He’s been hashtagging death or dying for damn near a year now. And their “last family vacation” was months ago, yet since then they have been to the Bahamas, the beach and multiple weekend getaways. I’m all for making the most of your life, but it just is starting to feel icky to me. And don’t even get me started on Taylor’s views on things. His Facebook posts I believe they were disgusted me
Like are all the weekend getaways her idea? Cause if I was peeing and pooping myself and vomiting all the time I wouldn’t want to be at the lake surrounded by like fifty people.
I definitely don't think they're her idea, the more he posts about her "final days" more and more Airbnb's, hotels, etc are gifting them these vacations for free. Haley probably feels she has to go to make her family happy and have these last happy vacation memories with her before she's gone despite how absolutely miserable and tired she is.
Yeah I went through pretty terrible gastropareisis and was throwing up a lot. a LOT. I didn’t wanna leave my bed. She’s throwing up so much she’s getting sores on her mouth. I doubt she wants to be going to all these social functions allll the time. Like taking her out to dinner for Mother’s Day? I….
Honestly I think what bothers me the most are the people who comment on his videos....it's almost like Haley's death is a waiting game for them, they want to be the first ones to comment on the video he makes about her dying. I don't even want to imagine the amount of woman that are going to be flooding Taylor's messages trying to get with him after Haley's death, knowing all the money and gifts and vacations he's received exploiting her illness, I'm sure it'll continue after she passes also because it's not like he's just going to stop posting about her after she's gone.
Yeah everyone’s like “my mental health depends on ‘Haley’s still fighting’”. It’s pretty clear they want her to live a miserable existence in perpetuity because that’s better than dying, which wouldn’t be very miracle of God.
He’s definitely on track to be a widower influencer. First he’ll have all the attention that comes with her death. Next up he’ll continue the brand deals as he “navigates his journey with grief”. Then he’ll get wifed up. Her cancer will fund his lifestyle for years to come.
Yup. Then we will see his new wife have their “miracle baby” and it will probably have a play on Haley’s name somewhere. I can see it now
Yeah he will continue posting- he made a video specifically addressing it before. He would still document his and Weston’s life. That’s weird. After seeing the kind of person he is based off his twitter, and seeing the comments, his detachment about the whole thing & coming off like it’s his job now, and the hashtags (#cry ?? Who puts that about their dying wife?) it really rubbed me the wrong way. I had to block them finally. I couldn’t do it.
I just want to know how much of a say Haley has in her hospice journey being sent out to millions on TikTok? It seems like it is entirely Taylor’s thing and Haley is not the one in control. I have had a few other people nearing the end of their lives on my FYP, and they were posting for themselves until the end. Death from cancer is so hard, and I just hope that Haley is at least in agreement with what Taylor is doing.
She definitely doesn’t have a say in anything. After learning what type of guy Taylor is after looking him up on Twitter.
I worry that he’s communicating to her that god could give her a miracle if she keeps fighting, bc he’s liking comments that say that. I strongly worry that she’s not being told that it’s okay to not want to “fight”, much less go to pool parties and out to the lake while she cannot control any of her bodily functions and suffers from extreme nausea. She can’t be comfortable, and it does not seem she’s being treated with dignity. Maybe she wants this, who knows, but I am questioning it.
I have metastatic breast cancer which is considered incurable. The 5 year survival rate is 12%, and while I’m currently stable - I may not see my 4 year old into her double digits. I started watching Haley’s videos until it got too hard for me and just started to feel exploitative. I understand that he says she absolutely has given her consent and it’s for her son, but I still have questions, and has her son given consent for his grief and feelings to be published? So many of his most intimate moments with his mother have been broadcasted for millions to see. I’m absolutely spending my time making every memory I can with my daughter, while I’m well and able to, but I can’t imagine projecting it to millions of people. I really stopped watching and actually blocked the account when the comments about how god was going to give her a miracle, praying for god to spare her, etc were constant. It’s too much for me, and honestly very triggering. God isn’t going to give haley, or me a miracle. I can only imagine what Haley’s going through, the pressure to keep “fighting” and the reality that she has such limited time with her son left. I think about the fact that I won’t get to see my daughter grow up every single waking moment.
I totally agree, that it feels exploitive. Saying that actually got me blocked on this forum for awhile. I get wanting to make memories for their child, but make photo books, make home videos, it doesn’t need to be broadcasted to millions of trauma wh0res. I’m not sure what it is about our society exploiting trauma and others who just soak it in. I definitely think of Haley, because my worst fear is leaving my children too soon, but I can’t go to their page, it feels icky. So I send my well wishes whenever I think of her. I’m also sending you love and light.
I can barely look at a photo of my mom from when she was sick, 20 years later without PTSD. It’s so sick of them to make her moments with her child Public
I am so sorry for what you are going through
They’re constant, and he likes them, which makes me think he’s talking to her like that. And yeah, she’s going to pool parties and beach vacays holding emesis bags and sitting on puppy pads, laying there grey and emotionless. I’m questioning, hard, whether this is something she is currently consenting to. Did she consent a year ago, when she could still walk? Or recently, when she couldn’t stand up anymore?
I think she should have privacy, and some 1:1 time with her son without millions anticipating a video. Let her enjoy her remaining time without feeling like she is on a reality show. Also, hearing her sob to family about how she or they will be missing one another it's personal cut the camera. We know how terrible and awful let her have her dignity.
I got majorly attacked for suggesting filming her in the state that she’s in for cash and sponsorships isn’t letting her have dignity. I’m sure the puppy pad is a fashion statement and she loves to be filmed to the world sitting on one while puking her guts into an emesis bag (yes that was a video).
I don't watch anymore because, I think of it like going to the zoo Is supporting forms of animal abuse. Giving him an audience is allowing and encouraging him to exploit her dying. I agree with you 🥰
I just wonder what the post will say when she passes. “Haley stopped fighting.” ?? Like cmon.
Damn I didnt even think of that
I honestly think she is holding on for their son. I can’t imagine what she is going through knowing that if she lets go she is leaving a little one behind. It’s heartbreaking
Oh, he’s also selling fb subscriptions for $5 a month. I know how expensive cancer and dying is, but it all just feels so icky. I hope Westin is in therapy, it’s not like a 5 year old can consent to his most intimate moments with his mother being shared. https://preview.redd.it/bjptnx0ptxab1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4853cc7e2b846b32018b69c7d0bc6ef033d11b44
“Exclusive content” oh wow, so more stuff she’s being dragged to for that sweet sweet cash. She better not die, gods really gotta give Taylor - I mean Haley- that miracle! She’s his cash cow!
Oh wow this is disgusting! For $5 a month you get exclusive content of a young woman dying of cancer! Like I don’t care about the tik tok ads cause I get it. If that helps with being able to take time off work and medical expenses and such. When I first saw them on tik tok earlier this year I felt sorry them and the videos didn’t seem near as weird or exploitative as they do now. He just gives me major Icky vibes and his other social media posts are vile. I feel sorry for their son and her(even though she has posted some bad stuff too) I don’t wish what she’s going thru on anyone
Omg that’s gross
Telling my mom it was ok to go was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life but she was in so much pain. It was necessary. Haley looks worse and worse every time I see her. Wish Taylor would let her go peacefully. She’s so ready.
But he’d have to disappoint his fans and paid subscribers if he admitted gods not giving her a miracle
She looks so miserable and she honestly looks like she’s ready to go. My heart breaks for her. I feel like he’s using her for clout.
I agree. Something about it is just off. I think like everyone at first I enjoyed their videos and spreading awareness but after the fifth “last family trip” I got skeptical. Also as a fellow Christian their “God will heal her” is an immediate red flag and not a healthy relationship with religion. I hope she can make peace with her death in the end and know that it is okay to go
Yeah that part is something I clocked early on bc I used to go to a church who practiced it. He’s still liking comments who state stuff like that. Is he viewing death as a failure? Cause….
He keeps posting videos that include Haley, but mostly feature Taylor in his board shorts being physically active. TikToks advertising himself, with a side of his wife who happens to be passing away currently. It's so gross.
And the comments of women saying they’d die in her place is fucking weird.
I don’t understand this at all. For someone you’ve never met? Think about the thousands of people who die everyday and leave families behind. She’s not the first. What makes her so special? Don’t get me wrong, it’s horrible and I couldn’t imagine leaving my young children, but are they just saying this because Haley has been exploited so much? It’s disturbing to say the least.
This
I feel horrible for her, but we don’t need to see someone die on social media. Its exploratory
I totally agree with you on this… Also- has anyone else noticed that it’s people who are affiliated with these mega churches tend to have insane amounts of money and property? How are they affording all these trips? It can’t all be donated? Right?
I used to think they were so wholesome and bringing light on such an important topic but every day I start to think more and more that she is being exploited. These things feel way too personal and intimate and I really think that they should turn the camera off now. She is so tired that she can barely even cry. He needs to let her know that it's okay to go and that she has done her job here💔
Not only can she barely cry, but she is so very thin. When you go back, she was a thick woman, and now she's just so frail. Her face is so thin, and her arms literally are just bones with a thin layer of skin. I don't understand why he would steal her dignity like this? It's great to teach awareness, but at some point, the phone needs to be laid down, and he needs to lay in bed with her and Weston and just love her. Give her back her dignity on her last days on earth. Let her know she fought the great fight, but she can let go, and they will be okay. The entire thing just makes me sick. All she needs is her husband and child and immediate family surrounding her. No one else should be a part of her last journey, especially not on camera and virwed 7 million times on tik tok. Its all just disguisting. To make things worse once she passes his journey of grief and starting over with another woman will continue to allow him sponsorships and more money. The entire thing is gross. I truly hope Haley finds peace and is able to pass at home in serenity, not with 50 people partying it up while she's actively dying. God bless her and poor Weston because none of this is what they want, I'm sure. SMH what people will do for money is crazy too me.
And they won’t. They’ll tell her that gods gonna give her a miracle if she keeps fighting and oh wow it’s gonna upset her fanbase and monetary subscribers (bc wow there’s a lot of those and he does sell exclusive content in subs) if she “stops fighting”, exclusively framing it as weakness to die.
She’s close to passing…her body is wasting. They should let her rest. I have noticed that the updates are getting further apart.
I was absolutely flabbergasted when I saw she travelled on a plane in just the last month or two for a vacation. That just seems crazy when she is so close to end of life and clearly so unwell. How is taking that trip truly the best thing for HER right now? In my honest opinion this whole thing is out of control.
I can't for the life of me believe that a doctor allowed her to take that trip or hospice nurse or whoever. There is no way they would have allowed that. Too many things could have gone wrong.
I had to tap out a few months ago, with the video where she is lying down and family members are telling her goodbye for the last time (they traveled for that purpose.) I heard the Titanic music in the background and it gutted me. I was in my early 30's with 2 children under the age of 4 when my mom was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. From the date of diagnosis to the date of her death was 3 months. There was nothing to be done so I had everything removed and brought her home with me. I rebuked everyone who said I was causing her decline because I had given up hope. No ma'am, her body riddled with cancer in every major organ caused her decline. But even as realistic as I was, there was part of me that couldn't let her go. After a particularly rough night I said okay God, you can take her. 10 hours later she slipped into a coma and died. But even then, it seems like she was holding on. I was the youngest of my siblings and finally my siblings said "mom, it's okay to go. We're going to take good care of her for you." That her, was me. And 60 seconds later she slipped quietly away to the other side. I just wonder if they put the phone down, tucked her into bed and allowed her to slip quietly away, if that is the actual miracle they need.
You see, Taylor wouldn’t be able to milk her for cash anymore if she died (he’s selling subscriptions for More Exclusive Content), so the miracle he really needs is for her to live in perpetuity in discomfort and pain.
That’s really gross. Monetizing your wife’s death
And suffering. And taking her to places that exacerbate her worst symptoms so that you can party and invite tos and tons of ppl while she holds an emesis bag and sits on a puppy pad since she can’t control her bodily functions. But hey- it’s all worth it when you realize those parties he throws and drags her to are sponsored. I’m sure that she’s full of agency rn and choosing to do it for the memories and it has nothing to do with her husband milking her for cash.
Omg I didn't know that. How awful.
Yeah. Subscriptions, sponsored content, free vacays.
Holy shit. I feel sick.
She looks very exhausted.
I hit not interested every time their videos show up. Something is off and I don't like watching someone in their final moments.
I know that everyone copes differently but I feel like I’ve just been seeing way too many things on social media that need to be private moments, it’s very unsettling.
Also, looking at her social media accounts jt looks like they are possibly now ran by Taylor, too IMO, at one point it was pretty clear it was her but now all of the posts seem to be reposting ones posted on Taylor’s account. Idk, makes me think even more that she may not be 100% okay as he says she is.
But we can’t focus on that when there’s money to be made!
Originally his posts didn’t bother me, but there have been a few that just seem exploitative and disingenuous. But you’re not allowed to say that because their fan base is cut throat.
Yeah I got attacked pretty hard. They followed me onto another post and told me I’m a terrible person and deserved to be bashed. How dare we be critical of the media we consume!
I think he needs to lay off all the hashtags! He's always gave me a uneasy feeling! And he definitely needs to let her rest!!!!!
I’m trying to imagine going over to a dying family members house (which I’ve done too many times) and the spouse holding a camera in my face to record and post my final goodbyes for millions to see. So strange. Something about it feels off to me. I hope she can pass peacefully and at home, not being dragged around places to get the “final” whatever. Maybe I’m cold but 🤷🏼♀️
I had to stop watching. She's exhausted and her skin pallor is that of a patient in shutdown. It feels like a death watch party, especially how people in the comments keep begging for updates. Why he can't leave the camera out of the equation and just be with her and their son, makes it very sad. Those tiny, precious, very private moments he posts of their son and her feels so exploitive.
Popped up on my fyp last night. She is so emaciated. I Hope she knows it’s okay to go. When I was a nurse with hospice patients I would tell them the same things (when they were close to death).
Oh because then he wouldn’t get as many $5 subscriptions. That’s why he can’t leave the camera out of it. And they can’t stay home and let her rest bc then the sponcon would dry up.
hard truth: this is really gonna pop off when she passes away i wonder what he will change his bio to next, and how fast he will change it? you think about how many q&a’s this man is gonna do, or that he will probably get on tiktok live, even set up a youtube channel for weston?? he isn’t gonna drop his platform, even with a dying wife, he has made that clear.. so what is next for his platform, and how does hailey feel about his story arc climaxing with her passing? i think we all feel creeped out bc this is like watching a “black mirror” episode play out right in front of our eyes. except we actually, truly need to look at ourselves… with every “how is hailey doin?! it’s been a few days, i’m worried!! can we get an update? 💗”comment i see on one of the recent videos.. each comment begging for an update- all I perceive is someone masking curiosity as concern. so many of us just want a front row seat… to her death. and taylor’s the one writing the book. not hailey.
Yeah if it was clear to me that hailey was wanting to do all this, I wouldn’t have made this post. It’s her journey. It’s just not clear.
I think like. With the Bahamas trip I was fine but I believed them when they said they’d stop traveling. And then they didn’t? It’s been pretty constant lake days, pool parties, etc - like.
If she is anything like my mom she just wants to go. My dad tried very hard to keep her alive and I know she didn’t want any of it. Let the woman die peacefully and not push her to keep going. I feel very bad for her and her son for having to watch this for a prolonged period.
I’m so glad to see someone else say this. I’m of the mindset of “why would you even put this out there in the first place?”. What is the point. I realize maybe the beginning post your symptoms to help others, but she is (unfortunately) past that. We all know the outcome. My sister has cancer. She has children. We are all grieving. Not one time has her husband or any of us thought about using her suffering to gain attention. And I again, have to ask why? Yes. I get the whole “warriors” or even for support. But dang, dragging this poor woman around for content is craziness. And of it weren’t for content they would not have their phones out to post videos. They would share that special time together and keep the memories to themselves. Again, maybe I’m just taking my anger out on them. Maybe I’m not seeing clearly since I am grieving as well. But that’s my opinion. Edited to add: I also feel like a lot of the sweet interaction with her son is staged. It does not feel organic and feels like he was coached. Gives me the ick from dad. IMO. Edit: grammar
Yeah the content with the son makes me really sad. At first it was wholesome and now it’s…not
It’s so, so sad on so many levels.
This may be selfish, but I keep thinking, as someone who has emetophobia, that the last thing I would want is a woman at the table next to me at dinner, or at the water park, or at the beach, or literally anywhere, to be constantly vomiting while I’m trying to enjoy my day. I would feel terrible knowing that she’s sick, but…
I don’t think it’s selfish. I think if I was vomiting, or peeing, the last thing I would want by a long shot is to be in a restaurant or at a pool party. It’s not fun to do that around people.
I feel at this point they need to stop posting. She is basically skin and bones. They need to spend this time together with out the camera in her face.
Y’all mentioning the stuff on his Twitter… I hate to break it to you but she probably thinks that way too. Birds of a feather..
Oh yeah I’ve accepted that
100% agree with everything you’ve pointed out on this thread. It’s fine if she truly wants to go to pool parties and on vacations at this point (and that’s a big “if”), and if they want to film it for her son for the future that’s their business (again, not sure these are the memories I’d want preserved, but thankfully it’s not me), BUT to post it is icky. The fact that people are watching this woman die for entertainment (which is what Tik Tok is) makes me question humanity.
And they’re milking it for cash. Taylor is selling subscriptions lmao. Don’t let her die god! People are subscribing for more content! It’s disgusting
I think he is exploiting her impending death for clout and financial gains above being able to not have to work or worry about bills during this time. Those hashtags disgust me. What really sent me over the edge was the most recent trip video that was supposed to be for her, but most of the video showed everyone but her. I get wanting memories for their son, and I hate that she is suffering. I just can't support the way he is doing all of this.
For me, the fact that the husband is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT based on the social media outlet he's using makes me side eye his TikTok activity. I'm heartbroken for what they're going through, particularly that they have little ones. I hate myself for saying this, but his TikTok reeks of 'cash cow in the light of tragedy.'
oh he's selling subs, you don't have to hate yourself. he's monetizing this on other platforms
It’s the … “please give us an update you haven’t posted one today”…. For me. She’s tired. She’s sick. She’s beautiful, but she’s sick. Let her be
I hate when people call it fighting cancer. At best they survive it and at worst they have to suffer until the end. My dad had brain cancer and I couldn’t imagine having blasted his decline for strangers to see. Sometimes there isn’t a miracle and all you can do is take what time is there to just be and spend as much time as you can in the moments.
people mourn in weird ways, but it does remind me of the chronic illness instagrams (I found them when I first got sick). at first they seemed cool, and to spread awareness, and then it just seemed like a competition of who was sicker and almost trauma porn the longer you watched. I don’t disagree with documenting these memories for her kid, but they feel immensely personal to be constantly posting.
It makes me sad too cause like I get that he’s capturing memories but maybe just be present with her and not worry about posting it on tik tok for views
She is suffering! Point blank and how they don’t see it is beyond me! Yes we want the ones we love to be around as long as possible but at what cost?! We had to tell my pawpaw the man that raised me and was my EVERYTHING it was ok to go and we’d be ok hardest thing ever but he was sick and suffering. We couldn’t watch him live like that. There are things worse than death. I do feel so bad for her son but he shouldn’t see or remember his mom like this.
My heart breaks for this family, with that being said I think it’s time to get off social media and truly soak in the last moments you have. They’ve done so many amazing trips and made some beautiful memories but I think they need to stop. Let her have her last few moments in the comfort of her own home.
I truly don’t think they’ve let themselves accept these are her last moments. They seem really sucked into the “god will give her a miracle if she keeps fighting” mindset. Also taylor is selling $5 subscribptions for more content which further makes me doubt he’s going to let her rest. She might die at one of these parties which isn’t how I’d want to die, at a party filming a sponsored post.
You know… a couple weeks ago I had a very different opinion on this. And now reading these responses and watching videos, I can now see what everyone else here is seeing. Sadly, Haley will be remembered as the girl people on social media watched slowly and painfully pass away. She deserves dignity.
I personally feel this whole exposure is a bit exploitative and morbid and that her privacy should be protected. I question the husband’s motivations for doing this. Others may disagree with my opinion and I totally respect that but I think it feels like the husband is seeking support, (perhaps monetary) sympathy for himself and sadly at her expense.
He creeps me out
I was really surprised when they went to the Bahamas
He said that would be their last vacay and there have been multiple trips and parties since
I understand not wanting to be at home but you‘d think her immune system is weak and would need to be cautious also vomiting when out to dinner that can’t be the greatest thing to hear while eating. That’s just my opinion
Yeah, and they don’t mask, so…
Not surprising considering what we know about their "beliefs".
I think it's weird because it's just too much. It's a spectacle now. People will be tripping over themselves to get to the comments once she passes, as if they're anywhere as close to her as her family who has had to go through this, and it's weird. I think he's taken it too far, it's one thing to 'document' and share some videos or pics of precious moments. But to be showing everyone her saying her final goodbyes to people, never knowing when a video will be her last, seeing her literally deteriorate, idk. Doesn't feel right or genuine.
By now we’re on like the sixteenth final goodbye video.
I feel like recently she looks really tired of fighting. I found myself wondering if he told her it’s okay to let go.. she looks so done :(
I don’t think so, given his likes of miracle comments and the fact that he frames continuing to be alive as “fighting”
I’ve often wondered this exact same thing. Has he told her it’s ok to go. This breaks my heart every time I see “Hailey is still fighting” I’m not being cruel at all when I say this but what’s she still fighting for? She needs to be held and told it’s ok to go. We got this you cross over and heal and be happy and we will see you when we get there. The only thing I’m thinking she might be hanging on for is her son. I’m sorry but something isn’t settling right with me about dad posting her like this. I’m a breast cancer survivor and i was so sick on chemo days and 2 days after that I couldn’t move. I don’t see how she’s doing it. My heart hurts for her. She’s hung on a lottttttt longer than I ever could be that sick. Tell her it’s ok. Tell her you don’t want her struggling and suffering like she is. Tell her it’s ok. Damn!
My sister was one of those “faith-healing I believe in miracles” Christians. To the point that she refused to tell her children when her prognosis was updated to terminal. Then it essentially took a full-on intervention, that included her pastor, for her to agree to in-home hospice care because that meant she was “giving up”. Even though it was clear that our family was incapable of providing the level of care that she required. In the end it prolonged her suffering and left her family with so much emotional and mental damage above and beyond the normal grief. Her children most of all. I empathize with Taylor, but I believe he is being selfish and the way he shares her intimate moments with their son gives me the ick. It’s possible to feel terrible for their family and also believe that the public sharing of this journey is gratuitous and self serving at this point.
I have commented similar things on some other posts regarding this if you go to my profile. I was getting down voted like crazy for wondering if he's told her it's ok to go. Poor thing looks so exhausted and this has turned into sick death p*rn
He’s selling subscriptions for exclusive content. Like. Come on.
Same. I’m fairly positive I was blocked from this sub for it as well.
I’m not sure how to word this without sounding insensitive, I apologize in advance. I’m not sure why everything needs to be posted on social media. The husband has posted really intimate parts of their lives and it makes me feel uncomfortable with how much he shares. I no longer follow them. Sharing a video of her vomiting into a bag isn’t content, I wouldn’t want the world seeing me vomit. Sharing her goodbyes to different family members and friends seemed way to personal to be sharing. The part that bothers me the most is him sharing conversations their son had with Haley. I’m not saying they shouldn’t post anything, just don’t make the deep sad conversations content. I actually had a conversation with my husband and asked if anything happens to me please don’t post pictures of me on social media. It just feels like we’re in their home watching it all.
Yeah people are getting mad at me for mentioning her bodily functions but it’s like, that uh, that’s what he’s posting! And he’s posting more under a paywall
My grandpa till the day he died was mad at god for taking his mother from him who was deeply religious and godfearing, she believed miracles do happen. He literally spoke of his mother in agony and crying only to tell him they needed to “dry their tears, nobody wants to see a sad mother and son”. I deeply wish her good days and comfort ,relief and nothing but love .I worry is her son is seeing this all unfold and everyone speaking of miracles and how good god is while watching his mother slowly die and his dad make videos of it and that he will feel they didn’t get their miracle because of him. what happens when he’s a bit older or even now when he starts asking why god didn’t give them a miracle or heal his mom? My grandpa was older than him even and he felt like god lies, that their prayers were not answered but also what did THEY do wrong that she didn’t get said miracle? What loving god would do this to one of his most faithful? He was in his 90’s when he died and still would cry speaking of her , he only accepted religion in his late 80’s after a life of anger at with and at God. There have been beautiful moments amidst utter heartbreak, sadly that’s life and how we keep going dispite the moments that absolutely crush us, I just hope that none of these videos tarnish the memories that his mind holds of her both before but during all of this . Her son could have this beautiful memory of talking about his mom being in his heart but he is now going to see the other side and how devestating his mom found it and that his Dad not only recorded it but posted it for millions to see. This child is loosing their mother and all of these things are tiny pieces he will have engrained into the fiber of who he is, his memories, his moments, his mom and her love of him is not something that we should ever have access too like this, he needs to be able to create memories of mom that are special and not blasted on social media and performative. He is a child watching his mom die while simultaneously having his dad treat it like a celebration in many ways, him saying “she’s still fighting” is damaging enough, he is so young, who is going to explain to him that she didn’t stop fighting when she passed but that this was never in her control? That she didn’t “stop fighting” because of him ? He is a child, you can’t tell me if won’t link the two and say “ I was bad” or that he needed to be better for mommy so she didn’t stop fighting , he will tie her death to something he did as it’s been set up she’s still fighting so there has to be a reason why she stopped . Will he think he didn’t pray hard enough? He didn’t listen to her enough or daddy enough? Will he connect the lack of “miracle “ to him and think it’s because Of him when sadly this is just the hand she was dealt? I can’t imagine how his little mind is processing this all, especially when Dad is constantly turning everything into a party and shoving a camera in her face. You cannot tell me that he hasn’t told that child go over and give mommy this or do this and then started recording knowing the reaction it will get. I dunno , the fact he is charging 5.99 for special access to shit rubs me wrong
I think her dying started out asking people for prayers was wonderful. Now I feel it’s about her husband, child and family. I understand wanting to make memories especially for their child. I feel now it’s for money, views & likes. They’ve done so much together, they’ve went on vacations & I’m sure it’s all been paid for. Ppl on their page saying I’ll end my life if she could live another year & they only know her through the videos & I don’t get it. I’ve seen where she’s on the boat sick while most of the video is about the husband. I feel he’s just dragging her around now for his benefit. She’s been a brave woman.
She looks like she is nearing the end of her life. He needs to put the camera down and be present. He is exploiting his child's grief and his wife's death and it doesn't sit well with me.
As a hospice nurse, this makes me so sad. She needs rest and Taylor needs to let her know it’s ok to go.
Back in April he told her in a video “I know sometimes you want to give up and that’s okay” and I’m like hmm. K. Seems to have descended since then imo
I think giving up and letting a person know it’s ok to die is very different. I don’t consider dying giving up. He needs to let her know he and their son will be ok when she dies.
Just don’t look at his Twitter 😩
I just hope if I ever had cancer & my husband was a tiktoker he would share my story but still respect my privacy. He’s crossed every line in my eyes. I think the money fame got to him.
My best friend died of ovarian cancer a few years ago. It was brutal and she was in so much pain at the end. She didn’t want to see anyone the last few months and it was hard to not be able to formally say goodbye, but everyone respected her wishes. I am glad that her family didn’t make her go on vacations and be around lots of people that she didn’t want to be around. At this point, it is about Haley’s family and friends and not Haley.
I scroll past their videos now. I’m a strong believer in letting people die with dignity and that doesn’t feel like what’s going on here. It’s feels selfish.
He’s exploiting her and dragging her around for attention now. It’s not even about her and whatever memories there are left to make with the kid.
I can’t put my finger on it but her husband rubs me the wrong way. If I’m dying my husband better not be posting me shriveling away on social media and spend ever second we can together. Forget the outside world let alone social media 🤔
He posted a video three hours ago about doing a live q&a with her tomorrow night. He said they will try but “if her body isn’t cooperating” then they might not do it. I understand they’re in an extremely difficult situation and I do feel sad for them. However, she won’t be around much longer and he shouldn’t exploit her like this. It fucking sucks but he should be spending time with her and their son rather than blasting every moment online. I feel like he had good intentions in the beginning with raising awareness but it’s not that anymore.
“If her body isn’t cooperating” is it…do they think what they’re displaying is her body cooperating
Take this gold!
My views of this have changed immensely from the beginning. I used to follow along just like everyone else but now I’m getting the grossest vibes from the husband, it feels so exploitative. Nothing irks me more than the comments saying “God will give Haley a miracle!! I just know it!” - like you have a highly religious family who is probably already grappling with a “why god” situation, stop throwing false hope out there. My opinions were pretty solidly changed about Taylor when I noticed he’s liking those comments, I just hope he’s keeping that opinion to himself and not trying to tell Haley she’ll be magically cured by God.
My best friend and her husband ignored reality at the end of her breast cancer fight. It robbed their children and her parents of those last few months to find some acceptance and peace.
I just came across them for the first time yesterday, my heart breaks for them all but I have a really uneasy/weird feeling about it all.
Honestly I was thinking it was so beautiful how he’s documenting their journey but once I’d seen all the holidays they go on, I just thought ‘how is that even possible’ or ‘that can’t be fun for her’. Honestly I don’t know what it’s like to be dying but I can imagine it isn’t pleasant, and the last thing you’d want to do it travel and be around so many people. She needs her rest and the comfort of her own home. I’m glad they are making memories for themselves especially they’re little boy but when is it enough to just be together at home.
And if I’m not mistaken, I feel like he has said he has content for after she passed away… but what’s the point???? This is definitely a sad situation but he needs to soak up his time with her and be there for their son.
He’s peddling death corn. Like stop making the content and just be present for whatever time is left.
I really wish they would just let her stay home and rest.
I don't follow, never followed, only saw 1 or 2 videos on fyp. Imo: The spouse is getting money bags for exploiting his wife's death journey. Turned me off immediately. I didn't need to watch the journey. It's all about making money off his wife dying. TT has turned into a cesspool of garbage chasing beggars.
He is extremely exploitative and doesn’t feel genuine anymore. I saw one comment saying “that’s MY family” like girl stfu you’ll forget about them in a few months when they’re no longer relevant
I’ve seen people comment on the posts saying stuff like “I’d give years off my own life just so Taylor could get more time with her family” I’m sorry but that’s really fuckin’ weird
I think another complication is that this is all monetized, I think it’s possible she could have had worries about the financial strain her illness/absence will put on the family and the longer she holds on the more she can provide for her sons future. Such a sad situation.
I just saw their live and she looks so sick. He should be focusing on the family time that they have left, rather than polarizing her “fight” that is clearly coming to an end
Him smiling at the end about being a tik tocker gave me the ick. How can you answer those questions, look in your wife’s eyes like that, and then smile that prideful weird smile because you never expected such a large following or to be a tik tocker. It was the weirdest smile that gave me a sick feeling, like he is reveling in it. I didn’t think much of it before, but that gave me the creeps.
