"One of my mom's biggest messages was 'take care of you.' If you don't take care of you, you cannot give your full capacity of love, wisdom, kindness, and power to everyone else," Lattanzi explained.

Given the poor state of her health, the 37-year-old announced she would be taking time off to "honor her mind, body, and spirit" before the little issues she developed in these areas worsened. The influencer shall leave for about three weeks to a month following the upcoming "Wellness Walk."

The Los Angeles beauty concluded, "So in the spirit of my mother and the spirit of the Wellness Walk, I'm going to take a month to do that so that I can be of complete service to everyone else," hoping her reminder to prioritize one's wellbeing was helpful to those who needed it.

Echoing similar sentiments in her caption, the "Xanadu" actress's daughter expressed her excitement to see fans at the upcoming walk and implored them to heal themselves. "Take it easy. Take it slow. Easy does it, darlings," the media personality penned.

Touched by her emotional confession, fans applauded Lattanzi for her strength and advised the deceased's child not to rush her healing process. "You're still grieving. We'll be ok. You take care of you. We love you & pray for you. Take all the time you need. We'll be here xo," a follower declared.
