In a video posted after she died, TikTok star Bella Bradford announced that she had died.
Before she died on October 31, the 24-year-old posted her last “Get Ready with Me” video to her TikTok account. She had been fighting a rare form of cancer. The post was made a few days after she had died, and the caption said she had died on October 15.
“I have cancer that will kill me, and unfortunately, my life is over now. I’ve died,” she said at the start of the 11-minute video. “But I had to do one last ‘Get Ready with Me’ because I love fashion and doing these shows.” Thanks for going with me on this fun trip. I hope that all of my videos will bring you some happiness if you ever need it.
In the video, Bradford wore a khaki halter dress with a white cardigan and gold necklaces. One of the necklaces had a teddy bear charm on a pearl chain. She finished off her “outfit of the day” with sunglasses, a brown hat, and black ballet flats. She held her leather purse in her hand.
At the end of her video, she thanked her fans for continuing to watch her videos. She said, “Thank you so much for this crazy and fun ride.” “I hope all of your lives are beautiful and wonderful.” I hope the best for all of you.
The caption said that on October 15, Bradford “died peacefully with the people she loved the most by her side.” Bradford wrote a sweet message in the post about her time on TikTok and how much she loves the people who have supported her online.
“Thank you so much for all your love and support as I neared the end of my life. I am so grateful.” “Making these videos gave me a sense of purpose in my last few months and put me in touch with a very kind group of people,” she wrote in the message.
“May your lives be full of beauty, and remember that each day is just as important as the last.” “Getting old is such a blessing.”
“Thank you for letting me be myself on this platform. I really felt excited every day to jump on here and connect with you over our love of life and fashion,” she said as she left.
Bradford posted another “Get Ready with Me” video in May in which she talked about being diagnosed with cancer and her experiences as a “palliative cancer patient.” It was when she was 22 years old that she was “diagnosed with a really rare form of cancer in [her] jaw muscle.”
They told her that her illness was “incurable,” but she said she was still getting a “new treatment” that included surgery to remove her tumors, radiation, and chemotherapy.
She was told she had cancer again after being in remission for five months. But in the video she was making at the time, she said she was getting different kinds of treatment.
The American Cancer Society says that “palliative care is a special way to care for anyone” who has cancer. This kind of care “aims to enhance the quality of life by supporting patients and their loved ones in handling the signs of a serious illness and treatment related side effects.”
Together with the rest of the health care team, palliative care aims to make sure that people who are seriously ill live as fully and as long as possible.
Bradford often posted “Get Ready with Me” videos on her TikTok account, which has more than 14,000 followers. In these videos, she filmed herself putting on makeup and getting dressed for the day.
