In a heartbreaking turn of events, TikTok star Mercedes White has shared her anguish after her beloved two-year-old son, Wesley, tragically passed away earlier this month from cardiac arrest. The Louisiana mom took to social media to express her grief and provided updates on the sudden death of her only child.

In a series of posts on Facebook, White poured out her emotions, stating, "He was it for me. I wanted only one baby... and now he's gone. I don't know how to process this." She spoke fondly of Wesley, revealing that he had slept with her and her husband since the day they brought him home, and she would often cuddle him at night.

White, who gained fame on TikTok as a book reviewer with her handle @bookclubwannabe, also lamented the loss of her "one [and] only" child. She expressed her disbelief and sorrow, stating, "Nothing feels right, my baby is gone. Hug your little ones a little tighter for me."

Further details about Wesley's condition and the events leading to his cardiac arrest have not been shared. Although White had never mentioned her son suffering from congenital heart problems before, his passing came as a shock to her and her husband. Wesley was rushed to the hospital, but tragically, their frantic attempt to save his life was unsuccessful.

In a post shared on November 10, White took to social media to share the devastating news with her followers. She wrote, "My heart is absolutely shattered... Wesley suffered some sort of cardiac arrest... We were on the way to the hospital, and things just went terribly downhill." It was on this day that Wesley's life was tragically lost.

The grieving mother buried her son on November 17, with the support of an empathetic online community. She created a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his funeral expenses, and the response was overwhelming. Fans of White and her book reviewing content came together, raising over $41,000 to help ease the financial burden during this difficult time.

While White continues to navigate her grief, she has returned to her social media pursuits, posting book-related content on TikTok. However, her heartache is evident as she expresses her deep longing for her son.

The loss of Wesley has shaken White to her core, leaving her with unimaginable pain, confusion, and anger. She is learning to navigate the uncharted territory of grief, acknowledging that there is no rule book to follow. She cherishes the memories of her precious baby boy and shares snippets of him online, cherishing the time she had with him.

As the outpouring of support and love from her followers continues, Mercedes White faces the difficult journey of healing and finding solace in the memories of her beloved son, Wesley.
