My Mom Wasn’t Ready to Die at 57. I’ll Never Forget One of Our Last Conversations in the Hospital

Before my mom, Deborah Finck, passed away at 57, she touched over 800,000 people on TikTok and Instagram by sharing her journey with cancer and her thoughts on life, love, and family. I encouraged her to start posting, and it became something special we did together. In her final months, we created beautiful memories—including wedding dress shopping just days before she passed. Now, I continue sharing her light online through stories, recipes, and the love she poured into everything. She’s still with me, every morning, in every memory, and in everything I do.
