A month before her death, Griggs revealed that her doctors had found four tumors.
Back in 2021, Griggs opened up about her initial diagnosis in an interview withSoap Opera Digest.
“When the doctor left after giving me the news, I broke down, bawling.

My first thought was, ‘I’m going to die.’
It was just horrifying.”
Despite the grim news, Griggs said that she was determined to fight her cancer head-on.

She also said that her husband Mark was a stable force in her life at the time.
That’s what I need to hear.
I waited for the right one."
