Rebecca Luna's Daughter Opens Up After Mom's Medical Aid in Dying: "Homesick for My Mom"

TikTok creator Rebecca Luna passed away on July 25, 2025, at age 49, after making the personal decision to use medical aid in dying. She had been open about her early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis since April 2025, sharing her journey with followers. Her daughter Maya Findlay posted a tribute on TikTok that has since gone viral, describing her grief in a way that stopped everyone in their tracks.“Homesick for my mom who will never exist in this lifetime again,”she wrote.

Luna’s story has resonated deeply because she chose to be so public about her decline. She organized a GoFundMe for end-of-life expenses and even moved up her MAID date as her condition worsened rapidly. Maya’s video shows a FaceTime clip with her mom and the grandchildren, making the loss feel even more personal. The internet is now having conversations about Alzheimer’s awareness, the ethics of MAID, and the raw reality of saying goodbye on your own terms.
