TikTok star and mother-of-six Deborah Finck made a heartbreaking confession that she ‘didn’t wanna go’ just hours before dying from leiomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer.
Deborah shared a video just two days ago, giving her TikTok fans a final message before her death was announced by her daughter Katerina on Tuesday.
‘I sit here, and I think, why me? You know, what have I done in this world to make a difference? And maybe this was my purpose,’ Deborah said through tears, in response to a user who Deborah had helped through suicidal thoughts.
‘Unfortunately, I don’t want it to end this way. But I am so happy and so honored that you listened to me. I hugged you and you listened to me, and I’m gonna hold you too it.’
The 57-year-old mother of six children – three sets of twins – told the user that they had ‘so much to live for.’
‘I’m very sorry about your son, I truly am, and I don’t know why he did what he did but know he’s in a good place. And I know I’ll be in a good place one day, but I don’t want to be. And I don’t want you to be either, you have a family, you have kids.
‘Take care of them,’ she said, before she heartbreakingly confessed that she ‘didn’t wanna go anywhere.’
Her daughter, Katerina, announced her death after posting to TikTok and Instagram.

She made videos for her family members, saying her goodbyes, including her husband, Paul, who wrote his own tribute to his wife on Wednesday.
‘Today, my heart shattered as I share the news that my beloved wife, Deborah, had passed away. After a brave and relentless five-year battle with cancer, she left this world peacefully, surround by love,’ he wrote on Instagram.
‘Deborah was my partner in every sense of the word – my confidant, my rock, the love of my life, and my eternal soulmate. Together, we built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories I will cherish forever.
One of Deborah’s greatest gifts was her incredible devotion as a mother to our six children—Amanda, Alexandra, Stephen, Katerina, David, and Daniel. She poured her heart and soul into raising them, instilling in them her values of kindness, integrity, and resilience.
She was their greatest cheerleader, their guiding light, and their constant source of unconditional love. Her impact on their lives is immeasurable, and her legacy will live on through them.
He said that she was an incredibly strong, courageous woman, with ‘unconditional love’ to give, and said: ‘She brought light into every room she entered and touched the lives of everyone she met with her warmth, compassion, and unwavering grace.’
He concluded that his world ‘feels emptier without her’, and wrote: ‘Deborah, my love, you were my everything, and losing you is a pain I cannot put into words. But I will carry you with me in every step I take, every decision I make, and every moment I live.
