Haley Odlozil, the wife and mother who shared her life on TikTok after being diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer, has died. He was 30 years old. Her husband, Taylor, who also appears in the viral videos, announced the heartbreaking news on Friday in a lengthy statement on social media.
“It is with incredible sadness that I tell you that my sweet Haley has passed away. I cannot describe the amount of heartache and sadness that myself and our entire family are experiencing,” he began.
“I never knew my heart could physically hurt. I have never seen someone fight so hard to live. Her love for me, Weston, her family and her friends is what has kept her going all these years, especially the last 8 months.”
The Texas couple had been together since high school and met in 2008. Odlozil was diagnosed with cancer in the final stage in late 2015, just weeks before their wedding.
In 2019, they welcomed their son Weston, now 4, via surrogate.
“I am so blessed to have had Haley in my life for 16 years. It was a true honor to take care of her,” Taylor continued in his statement on Friday.
Taylor’s captions at TikTok they always followed the same format: the date of the video along with the assurance that “Haley is still fighting.”
In a tearful clip from May, the woman’s hospice nurse gave her son a pin with Hailey’s heartbeat on it. She also gave Taylor a copy of the recording of her heartbeat. Haley previously told People that Weston now refers to his animal as “mama bear.”
“He says, ‘Okay, I need the teddy bear – mommy,’ before he goes to sleep,” she shared.
“And it’s just comforting to me to know that he has something that’s from me for when he’s missing me.” She added: “I always say to him, ‘When you can’t see mum or feel mum, where am I?’ And he replies, “In my heart?” I tell him: “Yes, I am in your heart”. And so the fact that it came full circle with what they did, it was amazing to me.”
Taylor announced Friday that he and Weston would take an indefinite hiatus from social media, signing off, “I need some time to process this with my son.”
