Andree Greig Baudoin’s beyond-the-grave video appeared on TikTok three days after she died.
Baudoin, 39, who posted as “Andreethegirl,” passed away Saturday in a Lafayette, Louisiana, hospice from stage four triple negative breast cancer. The pre-recorded six-minute clip was uploaded Tuesday, opening with the married mother of three addressing followers she knew she would never see again.
“Hi, my TikTok family, if you’re seeing this video, it just means that my time has come and I’ve crossed over,” she said in the clip filmed from her home before entering hospice care.
Baudoin spent four years documenting her cancer journey on the platform, which she described as therapeutic. She explained her decision to spend her final days away from the house she shared with her husband and three children.
“I’m not gonna pass at home,” she said. “I don’t want to pass at home. I want this home to be a place of life. I don’t want them to think about death when they’re here.”
The cancer had reached a point where no further treatment was viable. Despite this, Baudoin stated she felt no fear about dying itself.
“The truth is I’m not scared of where I’m going,” she said. “I am not scared of passing away.”
“I’m not fearful of that, but I’m really devastated to leave my family,” she continued. “I’m really devastated that I have to go so early, I’m 39.”
She listed the milestones she would miss: “I’ll never be able to see my son get married, my daughter get married. I’ll never be able to meet my grandchildren. I’ll never be able to grow old with my husband, who I love dearly.”
Baudoin recalled the extensive and unconventional treatments she pursued in her fight against the disease.
“There’s not a thing I have not tried,” she said, noting she had sought treatment in Mexico, stung herself with bees, and experimented with diets and various medications. “I’m really proud of myself for that because I didn’t know how strong I was until this came upon me.”
In June, Baudoin shared that her oncologist had given her a prognosis of just weeks to live. She pushed back against the timeline.
“You say three weeks, but I say three months,” she recounted telling him. “And he said, ‘Let’s go. Let’s go. Three months, let’s go.'”
She described the sensation of approaching death as “weird” but framed each additional day as a small victory. “It has become something I turned to at first, and I started it because I wanted my kids to be able to follow my journey,” she said of her TikTok account.
“When I started it, I didn’t realize what I would gain from it, so I want to just take a minute to say thank you for loving me, for praying for me, for rooting for me even when I did all of the crazy things.”
She closed with a direct appeal to her audience about what she hoped they would take from her experience.
“My biggest, biggest wish is that you don’t take your health and what’s in front of you for granted,” she said.
Baudoin’s funeral is scheduled for Thursday in Lafayette, with attendees instructed to wear colorful attire per her online obituary.
