The wellness community on TikTok is mourning an inspiring creator.
Rachel Yaffe, who amassed over 55,000 followers on TikTok for her wellness and lifestyle-forward videos, died after a seven-year battle with a rare liver cancer on Oct. 11. She was 27.
In an obituary, her family noted that the services for mourning the TikToker are private, but she is survived by her parents, Linda Yaffe and Wayne Yaffe, as well as siblings Jordan Yaffe and Jessica Yaffe and her dog Layla.
The New York-based content creator had last posted to her followers early last month, where she gave a health update.
“I lost so much of my strength when I was getting radiation,” she told her followers in a Sept. 1 video. “So I’m starting from day one. It’s been so hard to get up and force myself to move, so I’m working on doing that.”
She added that her battle had been difficult “both physically and mentally.”
