Almost two years ago, I watched this and the full documentary. I learned a lot from it, and I'm glad, because in February, if found out I have palliative anaplastic thyroid cancer, with not much longer to live. (months, likely.) Thanks for posting.
I wish I could have given this woman a great big hug,God bless you😥❤♣️
It looked like my husband in the last few days of his life.
God bless
I want people to know about the young man who found us who had jumped the train traveling. He got to Canada, but told the RCMP that he had gotten drunk and fell asleep and that's how he got over the Border. I told him that if he got to Canada again to tell them he wanted to stay. He wears Tattoos of Tear's on his face that are indicative of a homicide victim and/or someone seeking Justice for a homicide. He has a Tattoo on his arm that say's Too Stubborn To Die. If you see him see he gets someplace where people are human beings. I have a life threatening Medical Condition & numerous times have not been able to get the medication because somebody else who has been using my Stolen Identity doesn't need it. Without the medication Coma & death. One time I heard my husband in the hallway of the hospital telling the Medical Staff that they were supposed to give me IV'S that are proper procedure and protocol & without it I would likely die. He went to the parking lot to go to our vehicle and had a gun held to his head and told him that I had died (he was wearing Military Insignia on his back). He was detained, but obviously got to me. I made him promise that we won't die in the Country that we worked for & my children were kidnapped in. I wear scar's from when I nearly lost my life shortly after the kidnapping of the children and the theft of my Identity at that time...
Two things I learned I don’t want to see:
1. An old person crying, and
2. Dr Selavaggia walking through my door
THE 2ND ONE LOL
@@butterboy8594 LOL shut up you insensitive little fuck
@@DUCKSXLE LOL you said LOL to you insensitive fuck
Honestly, having a father who is undergoing palliative care (Granted no where near the level of this gentleman, but still we are aware he is not going to recover) I have to say I would be at first apprehensive, and then deeply comforted to have someone like Dr. Selavaggia working my father's case. That being said, the Palliative team who has been working with him to date have been awesome. They are encouraging and push Dad to do everything he can, but are also compassionate when it comes to the real truth that he will only be able to manage so much, and eventually even that will become a challenge. My heart goes out to professionals in this field, who have the challenge of balancing a need for compassion toward their patient with the requirement of explaining what is going to happen at the same time.
lmao
The walls of Hospital's have heard more prayers than any other church, mosque & temples
Also Prisons
And still these “gods” don’t answer and kill these people with great pain. How can you still believe in a god when there’s so much suffering?
True true
Lithostheory that’s why they die as to relieve the suffering
cool cat But why would God make them suffer in the first place?
The fact that he was able to say “I love you” in that state is beautiful. Rest In Peace, Clyde
It broke me with a very strong intensity.
The cycle of life and death is a mystery so sad to see him leave her like that 😞 May he Rest In Peace
agreed, I wasn't expecting that was a blessing. My Grandma's last words to me on the phone were exactly that too.
i was 18 when my mum was given the "only a few days left" diagnosis. cancer. couldnt speak, couldnt move, severe pain. she told me "i love you" and it was like strained and mumbled but i got it. and i dont think ill ever forget it. until i die. you know when someone is in so much pain and they give everything within them to say that to you, that they mean it.
absolutely
Poor thing. When she began to cry, I did, too. No matter our age, we are always still little children inside.
but crying about someones death at any age is normal
@@geoverse2921 That's true. It's just the way she looked when she began to cry. Her expression was so heartbreaking in its sweet childlike quality.
Your comment made me emotional, but I do have to agree.
@@biri_o Hi. Thanks for your comment. 😊
@@geoverse2921 its normal to cry about anything at any age, anyone who doesn't is considered more weak than someone who does cry
Worst thing about life is seeing others end.
Your so right😭
It's the most painful thing in the world. Heck it hurts even if you don't know them very well. I cried for hours after learning my next door neighbor died, even if we didn't speak much it was scary to see that the woman who would smile and wave each morning is just...gone.
It's a part of life, our eventual end. And it's not a bad thing; it happens whether we're ready or not. It's important to love as much as you can everyday you're here, you never know. I wish all of you much love in life❤
@@mai227_ yeah like on the news and stuff. Not many people seem to think into it as much as I do.
@@janedoe-ex5wo it's still scary. And thank you, I wish you love too xxx
I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid that somebody that I love dies.
I would rather die before my parents. I would not be able to handle pain.
@@flame9999 i tough that too, just spend as much as u can time with them

“We’re going fishing…” and he never got to leave the hospital. 😢 May he rest in peace. He is so lucky to have such a loving wife by his side the entire time.

I never thought a 5 minute video could put me on the verge of tears. I have a soft spot for the elderly. RIP Clyde.
I love the stories they tell, of a bygone age. I like to imagine them full of energy and smiling, just living life.
My mum tells the same stories over and over again but I just smile and nod ❤
i work as a carer in a care home for elderly with dementia and it’s the best job ever honestly. the shit they come out with, the stories they tell, the advice they give. it’s truly magical.
There are 30 second KRplus shorts that make us cry… I knew this would bring tears
Yeah I remember this. It wasnt even supposed to be this big it was just a little PSA about discussing end of life care. But its real AF.
Marriage is literally agreeing to live with each other until you die. The worst part of marriage is one of you will watch the other die.
Anthony R or until Karen takes all your money in a divorce
Not always.
In Phil Hartmans case that sadly was too true
Even through cheating, lies, drama etc
If the love is there, it’s still painful af. So sad
Not if you die together in a car accident or something...
I’m more afraid of my mother’s death then my own
Same. I’d rather me die than me dog. I just tear up thinking of life without them.
same🥺 I would rather go first coz I’d be miserable my whole life after

When she said "I don't like it" and was holding back her tears, trying to be strong, that got me instantly. I've never dealt with loss in my family before. I don't know how I would manage losing my grandmother, mother, or partner.
My dad died on my birthday
@@kingskid5130I’m so sorry to hear that. Sending my condolences x
@@bethanwatkins1164 thank you
I would tell them “Rejoice, because the Holy Mother Mary is bringing you home!” 🙏🙏🙏
my grandfather died about 1 1/2 years ago. this sounds corny to some, and im sure youve heard it a million times, but my first regret was not being able to spend more time with him. yes it was out of my control (him living in India and me in the US, and i had school going), but i still felt horrible that we couldnt play one last game of carom with him. just one last game...
pretty difficult for me, as an atheist, to deal with it, and i began to see why people followed religion. best i can say is just enjoy your time with your loved ones, and when they pass, stay strong :)
When my husband was dying at home from pancreatic cancer, we had hospice coming in and, unfortunately, it was not a positive experience. The caring doctors in this story make a world of difference, not just for the patient, but for the loved ones who must carry on. Kudos to such wonderful physicians!
Sorry for your loss. I hope he was in good hands
@@mangaming1942 you're very kind! Thank you.

I hope Clyde is sitting by a lake fishing someplace at peace.
I'm sure he's fishing free from pain. 😪
Uhmm....based on his final wishes he's more than likely just wormwood at this point. The bright side is, once those worms get nice and full you can catch them and fish for yourself...y'know cos you're alive and stuff...
Claire Harrison yes! I was sad he didn’t get to go fishing 😞
If he was buried, he is being eaten by worms and insects and if he was cremated, he is now a cloud floating around because he evaporated. 🙋🙋😂😂🐭🐭🐭🐜🐜🐜🐜🐙🐙🐛🐛🐛🐉🐉☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️⛅🌙🌙🌙

That second doctor they brought in has such a calm, reassuring presence. You can really tell she's good at what she does. She's so comforting and she says just what is needed to be said, no more and no less. All doctors should strive to be like this.
I don t agree. This was a ridiculous scene and disrespectful.
@cloudman8911 How was it ridiculous and disrespectful? I'm genuinely curious.
@@mannygonzalez7735 Its not dying its murder. The NO1 leading cause of death is pharmaceutical MD direct treatments. The MD`s make direct cuts from prescribing drugs and getting as many people onto a payroll prescription as possible. They get houses bought for them, luxury holidays, hotels, all different kinds of benefits. High grade pure THC oil and diet change would have cured the cancer very quickly.. An MD does not even know how to cure heartburn. The average cancer patient is worth upto $1.5million dollars in the USA alone. GOOGLE IMAGES - ACIDOSIS CYCLE.
@@cloudman8911What are you talking about?
She's a physician who specializes in end of life care. The average practical nurse is capable of doing that job, and for much less money. What is the worst that could happen?
True heroes.
Loss is the worst. I lost my Father when I was 8, and the care and honesty received by folks like these meant the world to my mother and I.
Doctors are not heroes. All they do is push drugs and offer no hope for a real CURE. Your diet is KEY! EATING FRUITS LIKE BERRIES,GRAPES,CITRUS FRUITS AND MELONS CAN REVERSE ANY DISEASE NO MATTER WHAT STAGE.
I lost my father at the exact same age
My father lost his father at 8 too because of cancer. His friends at school helped him through and gave him something to live for. 40 years later my father is doing fine and those friends he was helped by message him every day. Just goes to show that there is some love in this world ❤
Last thing my sister told me on her death bed was "It isn't fair"....she was only 44
i’m so sorry. may she rest in peace. ❤️
SO WAS MY DAD 44 WHEN HE PASSED. HE LEFT 9 CHILDREN. TO THIS DAY I NEVER MET ANYONE THAT COULD MATCH HIS WORK ETHICS. ALL HE WANTED WAS A LARGE FAMILY. THANKS TO HIS HARD WORK, MY MOTHER WAS ABLE TO RAISE US NICELY.
So sorry for your loss, hope youre healthily coping and living to your best 👍
That's actually old asf
888 ??? A prayer for the loss of your father but that’s so rude saying SO? like man yeah your father was probably a amazing person but you being a jerk to a person who lost their sister is disgusting I hope u learn and forgive.
He was once a young healthy boy hanging out with his friends
Its crazy to think that most of us will be in his position one day..
Yea.. I can feel it ..

@@subhan6363 if we're lucky.
@Flight 32X could you do it though? With Coronavirus, I've been forced to thinking of suicide should I catch it bad as i don't fancy struggling for breath and drowning in my own fluids for possible days on end. I dont know if I could actually do it though.
Kudos to that poor woman for letting them film her in such a vulnerable moment. Because of her and her husband, we can be educated on how this conversation will go down and what to expect (if we're lucky to have compassionate doctors). A lot of us will be in her shoes some day. RIP Clyde.
Impossible not to cry with her “I love you”.
So touching.
RIP Clyde!
😔
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Nobody:
KRplus recommended: you haven’t cried in a while
I know right. Damn Algorithm!
Jake Ostler yes true
So true 😂
Yep and it’s 6am I haven’t slept at all IM BAWLING😭
This made me laugh after watching this video.
It really hurts when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory
This is true..
Holy, just reading that brought me to tears :(
I'm getting juicy eyed
Bro, I'm not crying. My eyes are just sweating
Memory either way?.. no disrespect just saying
When the doctor pat on Audrey's shoulder at 3:26, she clearly wanted to say something but it was inhibited.
It's this scene that puts me to tears every single time.
I am 49 and the youngest of 8 siblings and I am faced now with seeing my loved ones die one by one from the cancer that seems to be almost a given in my family. In the past 10 years I have lost 3 siblings who were all young and saw my parents off in the decade before that. When I hear the word hospice my heart just sinks and I think OhGod not again. . I am scared not for myself but for my kids who are 11 and 14 . The thought of them going through the pain of loss is so saddening to me but I try hard to be positive and take care of myself the best I can. My heart goes out to people who have to constantly deal with losing loved ones although I know it's a part of being human
I'm so sorry for your losses. Cherish ea h and every moment. Our mum died within six weeks of a horrific type of leukaemia. She was quite camera shy, we still had some great photos but I wish we had more videos. Seeing them alive and hearing their voice really helps, even log after they pass. It might be something nice to start doing for your kids, just in case. I hope you stay lucky and we'll though
You are a good person. Always take care of yourself. Being healthy of mind and body allows us to be a blessing to others

When it was clear my sister was going to pass, they moved her to the hospice floor of the hospital. She only lasted two days and she passed away after all the family had gone home for the night. A nurse was with her in her final moments. I’ve always been very grateful for that. Can you imagine their courage?
@@sarahewson3607 o so sorry to hear that are you alright?

@@maisiewilson9103 it’s been ten years since she passed away, she had been sick for a few years before that. I find comfort in knowing her suffering is over. Her youngest daughter lives with me and she’s so much like my sister, it’s almost like having her with us still. Sometimes that makes the sad days sadder, but in a way my children are growing up with that same spark that I did. The love never goes away, she left us with a lot of love. ♥️
@@sarahewson3607 She is an angel and is in heaven watching over you and your beautiful family God bless 😊💖

“til we meet again.”

😢
My Dad died looking like this at 74 years old, riddled with a cancer that took hold very quickly. He had been so fit and active just months before. It was unbelievable.
May he rest in peace
Seen it happen 4 times in my life to close relatives. Definitely not a good thing to watch.
Palliative care was really critical in my grandmothers last stage of her disease. They gave us that permission structure to talk about planning, which we had been wanting to do for her but felt like we couldn’t because doctors who treated her didn’t tell us where she was heading. We could sense that the end was near but did not know how soon. Palliative professionals really made the end clearer and easier for us and helped my grandmother lived the last eight months of her life how she wanted it.
I feel so bad for the old lady. She’s hiding her pain and we all know it
@@unshdhGbzbs What a horrible thing to say. It's very painful to see a loved one decline or in the dying process ITS NEVER EASY NO MATTER WHAT AGE!!! DO YOU HAVE ICE WATER IN YOUR VEINS?...........Oh wait.......YES YOU DO!!

I would be a mess
We do cry when noone sees us.
@@emis4608
Thank you for saying that.
I'm a nurse but yes, we do cry. Sometimes we sit in our cars to sob, sometimes we shed some tears during our breaks or when we step off to the side, sometimes we sit with the patient and wipe away tears with them
But we've seen so many deaths that we've learned to push past it in the moment until we have the opportunity to let it out
medical professionals do cry. but yes, they are strong people for not showing their emotions in front of these people.
You get used to it
I am 51 year's old and fighting stage 4 Cancer. This video broke my heart. I have to get my affairs in order.
Hey man are you doing alright?
@@freevipservers I think not...
In 2000 i was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 46 years old. I went through 9 brain surgeries, I was in a COMA on my 7th surgery. As i was told i was near brain dead. During that time i was in the coma, I felt as if i was in a room. I was drawn into this room deeper. i did not walk as i can remember, i floated. (if you close your eyes really tight, you will see speckles of flashing light.) The further i went into this room, I became more at peace. I though about my 4 kids who were very young. But I was at peace knowing they will be fine and i would see them soon. As i went deeper into this room the speckles of like faded away, and it was very very peaceful. When I was in this room I had no worries at all. Nothing bothered me at all. Its very hard to explain.,,,, Then my father who passed away 20 years ago, stepped in front of me. We had a very long talk, at the end of this talk, he said to me, "Sonny you have to turn around, this is not your time." I said to him "yes dad." and i turned away from him and floated, as I went back the speckles of light came back slowly. I woke up to see my sister holding my hand, I had a oxygen tube in my mouth. I pulled the tube from my mouth and said to my sister, "I just got done talking to daddy", she looked at me as if I had 2 heads. she was in disbelief. I know what I saw and experienced. It was real. I tell my experience to people but no one believes me. People think it was the drugs.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I always believe this types of stories. There is always beyond this life ❤
It sucks being the only living creatures on earth to be cursed with the knowledge of our own mortality.
A blessing and a curse
But how do you know that what if other animals know that like cats usually take themselves off to die so that their owners won’t feel so bad, it’s as if they can tell when they will die even if it’s a habit it’s still an understanding of some degree.
Well, I think others’ mortality is much worse, and many animals can certainly feel it, such as elephants.
KoKane exactly
animals know it too.

DemoLegends All the sour ones live longest -.-
Why does being bitter keep you alive longer? Probably because being happy-go-lucky all the time makes you vulnerable, probably.
I watched this video six or seven years ago because it was recommended by KRplus. For whatever reason, KRplus wanted me to see it again. I am currently taking a medical/linguistic anthropology class where we have been discussing how doctors talk with dying patients and how important it is for doctors to assess the goals of the patient in regards to what they'd like to do or accomplish before they pass before it's too late for them. This video demonstrates what I have been learning perfectly. Thank you for sharing your final moments with us, Clyde. Rest in peace.
I hope all the people who take care of end of life stage, stay strong and healthy themselves. It's not an easy task to take care of their own mental health surrounded by people mourning for their loved one and having to constantly break the news. Most importantly I hope they really care about the patients cause they deserve honorable final moments. May all the departed souls rest in peace.
Damn when she said "I don't like it..." oh my Lord....
Right. It crushed my heart. Crushed it.
@Psychic Medium Di Sad to say, if you truly love that person, their dying moments will just stay with you for life, you just need to learn to be stronger to keep on going and always remember the good times.
Immmm crying so hard
We are fucking helpless. After centuries of research and study, still powerless to our own mortality. Even single one of us must face this completely on our own.

It hurts me the most whenever I see old couples and one is looking at the other dying one.. They have spent so much of their life together, and just looking at the other after one has passed away is heartbreaking
At least one of them is not alone when dying.
My great Grandma passed away and my great grandpa had dementia and was always asking where she was, he ended up passing away a few weeks later though so they weren’t apart long
Usually the other is not far behind.
You do realize they just met
Don't be hurt, they just met each other as newlyweds.
100% courage and love to the patients and their family who allow this to be filmed.

I remember when my Dad passed away just a few Years ago in 2019 from Lung Cancer. He Died at Home, but I was able to see him 4 Days before he passed away. He passed away on like a Thursday Night, and I was able to see him that Sunday before which was on Father's Day matter of a fact. I was able to spend my last Father's Day with him, but when I saw him on that Sunday (Father's Day) he was definitely not himself. I was talking to Him, and he was talking back, but you can tell he was struggling to even talk he was very weak. He had lost so much weight to where there was nothing to Him even in his Face. He literally looked like a Skelton, and it really broke my Heart to see my Dad like this. I miss my Dad so much it's only been a few Years ago, but it doesn't get any easier no matter what People say. 😢💔

as someone who just lost their grandfather and who’s grandmother is also named audrey, this made my heart swell with admiration and sorrow. i got to see my grandfather 5 days before he passed and he got to meet my boyfriend, the only one he’s ever met. these doctors and nurses who work with patients at the end of their life will always have a special place in my heart
I always find this difficult to discuss with the patient although this is my job. There are so emotions running through.
When i told one of my patients that she would die within 2 weeks she replied " Oh! I thought i would be able to see the birth of my grandchild whose birth was due only 2 months. " She called the daughter infront of me and said " I will go faster than i expected " then she broke down in tears. I remained with her for another 30 minutes. She thanked me and it touched my heart.
I know it's sad im in tears from all the comments but just wanted to say hey Dexter 🥲
I'm not afraid of passing away , I'm just afraid of how I go , how my family would feel and if there's really an afterlife
Yeah, being dead will be the easy part. It's how you get there is what is hard.
There certainly is an afterlife, the Bible tells us so. There’s a heaven and a hell. Hell for those that reject the Lord Jesus, heaven for those that believe He died for us on the cross. Read it all in a King James Bible, year 1611, not revised one. God bless you.
@@janisewellington3971 yeah bible this bible that , I believe in god but sometimes I really question if there's a heaven or hell because it's a BELIEF. See if scientists could prove that's where you go to then I wouldn't question it at all.

My main fear is seeing my girlfriend (future-wife) pass away. I've lost so many people in my life within a few years and you know when you're 19 years old, anything can happen when you leave the house and even when you are at home. I cannot even imagine a life without my baby man🥺💔
I’m sorry for your loss.
So touched by the empathy and love. Death positivity is a wonderful thing. I'm so happy someone could be there for her in those moments.
okay but imagine trying to get permission to film this
"we're gonna film this, is that okay?"
"sure but what for..?"
"...nothing don't worry about it fam"
🤣🤣🤣
Oh I needed this I was bawling at this video
wonder how they treated people especially minorities back in the day?
imagine they were just like the prank channels and said "it's just for a stupid youtube video, i make this kind of things"

Clyde knew he was dying when he said “ I love you” back to his wife. It’s good that he got a final chance to say that to her before he left this world.
5:03
what was his COD?
that broke me
I mean I feel like he could hear the conversation between his wife and the doctor as well.
Yes
Very beautiful, I feel honored that Clyde shared this moment with us. He is forever in our hearts
Wow, that’s not an easy job Dr. Copper. May God bless you.
RIP Clyde, my heart goes out to his widow and family 💔
I never really understood when people said they felt their heart jump when receiving bad news until I witnessed a doctor tell my brother he only had a few months to live. I literally saw the blood drain from his face and felt my heart in my throat. RIP dear Brother.
that’s tough man 🙏🏽 god bless you .
This kind of comments always make me cry... May he rest in peace, I'm sure that at the end he was really grateful for everything
J E Your brother is fine now. Circumstances surrounding death can be very tragic, but death itself isn’t, it’s
just the gateway to reality. One can see people age 3O years when they are suddenly told they have weeks to live, proving time is a psychological construct and birth and death mental concepts, so no worries my friend all works out fine in the end. Good luck
J E I'm really sorry for your loss...
I wish you the best in the future. Keep believing and know that God is watching you always along with your brother. Especially in the times you need him. 🙏

William Hall clyde is a bro for life
@@Doors067 and death.
William Hall all the good works of a man cannot cover up his one single bad work. Just like when you take a criminal to court for a bad offense he committed by breaking the law of a country, all the good things he has done in his entire life cannot cover up that bad offense he committed. He will be sentenced to prison no matter how hard he begs for mercy and promises never to do it again. That is justice not wickedness. That is how it is with GOD. And throughout the bible GOD calls himself a just judge who will also judge all people that ever lived on judgment day.
When someone sins, he breaks GOD'S law and commandments. The punishment for sinning against GOD, is death, hell and be thrown into the lake of fire on judgment day. For that reason, GOD showed mercy because of his love for mankind, and the mercy is, he sent his only son into the world in human form as a man named YAHUSHUA whom the world calls JESUS, to suffer and die for the sins of the world so that whoever repents and turns away from his sins which includes, sexual immorality, drinking, disobedience to parents, disrespect, curse, or insult one’s parents, or one’s elders. smoking, partying, clubbing, tattoos, drugs, fornication, adultery, must not commit incest; which is, unlawful and forbidden sexual relations between siblings, or other close relatives. violence, pride, cursing, using the title GOD. And the name of his son JESUS as curse words, many christians said that Jesus warned them in visions, dreams and death experiences that women and girls who are using makeup, bleaching of skin, relaxation of hair, curling of hair, dyeing of hair, ornaments, wigs, short skirts, trousers, tight clothes or half naked clothes, artificial nails or eyelashes and wearing high heels will end up in hell because these impure things lead men and boys into sin of lust, fornication and adultery. and stopped doing to others what he does not want others to do to him,
and believes that JESUS the divine son of GOD came to this world in human form to suffer and die for the sins of the world and his sins and rose again from the dead on the third day after his death, and beg him in prayer for forgiveness, and to be his lord and savior and that he believe he is the divine son of GOD who came down to this earth to suffer and die for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead on the third day after his death, return double what he stole from others, forgive those who wronged him, apologizes to those he wronged, is baptized in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. Then GOD Will forgive and save him from The end of the world and the end of the universe, where God will send fire down from heaven to the earth, to consume and destroy the whole universe, the whole earth, all people, houses, cars, mountains, everything on earth and the universe will be melted by the fire. and God will also save him from hell, judgment day and the lake of fire. And will then be given everlasting life in heaven and the new indescribable, beautiful, Heavenly earth, where there is no sorrow, pain, suffering, sadness, crying, hunger, thirst, sickness, disease and death. Only everlasting happiness.
Do that now for after death it is too late.
Everything i have written here is truths from the bible.
Samuel Fritz i know. I came here to preach the gospel. In the Bible, in Mark 1:15 Yahushua Jesus said: The right time has come,“and the Kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins and believe the gospel!” The gospel is about how Yahushua Jesus the divine son of God came to this earth and paid for our sins, so that if we repent of our sins and believe in him as our lord and savior and beg him for mercy and to forgive our sins, and are baptized in the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit, then God will forgive and save us from the end of the world, where he will destroy the whole earth with fire from heaven everything on earth will be destroyed and melted by the fire. He will also save us from hell fire after death and from the lake of fire on judgment day; and will give us everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven and the new indescribable, beautiful, heavenly earth. Where there is no sorrow, pain, sadness, crying, hunger, thirst, suffering, sickness, disease and death. Only everlasting happiness with God forever.
Samuel Fritz What do you mean by general thread? This is definitely the place to preach. A place full of unbelievers. Jesus wants us to preach to unbelievers.
When I tell people that Jesus died and rose again from the dead so that their sins can forgiven, so that they would escape hell fire and the lake of fire, so that God would give them everlasting life in heaven and the new indescribable, beautiful, heavenly earth. Where there is no death, sorrow, pain, crying, sickness, disease, suffering, hunger, and thirst. only everlasting happiness with God.
is that not Gods love? they will know that Jesus did that because of his love.
I just learned that the woman died in 2016 just few months after his death, so sad hope they can go fishing with peace in heaven
RIP❤️😢🥺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm grateful, having gone through this with my father and stepmother, for the wonderful people whose job it is to be with those who are losing loved ones. It takes a special person to be able to do this. I remember vividly the palliative care doctor having the "DNR" discussion with my father two days before he died. He was very much aware of what was happening but it was still a difficult conversation.

I can sympathize with the families; I lost my wife, of almost 27 years, after having the privilege of meeting her almost 30 years ago. She was young and beautiful and I miss her so much after two years of her loss. She passed at home and I devoted myself to taking care of her in her final weeks, hours, and seconds in this world. I would do it all again if I have to. Although we know that death is certain, we do not get used to that reality, not even the very fine doctors and care professionals in this video. I guess that a measurement of how much one's mission on earth has accomplished is how much we are going to be missed once we start the journey into the sunset.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I literally just had this conversation with my father's doctor in June when he had to break the news to me that after a year of fighting his cancer, he was not going to be leaving the hospital. The way she was gentle and asked what the expectations were but then having to tell them about hospice, that's exactly how they talked to me, and I was grateful that they were so open and honest and I told them that I would rather have brutal honesty so I could make the best decision for my father's pain management as he went into hospice care. I give that hopsitalist all of the credit in the world that he was honest with me and told me the truth and then hugged me when I had to make the decision to place the DNR for my dad.
I well remember how a surgeon broke the news to my father who was stricken with cancer. He looked at my dad and said, "Get your affairs in order, make peace with your God as your life is coming to an end." My father was born in 1929...part of that generation who were bred tough. He listened to the doctor, thanked him for his honesty and forthrightness and stood up and walked out of his office. I was in tears but my father grabbed me by the arms and said, "Son, I need you to be strong because you are going to have to help me on this journey...so wipe away the tears and take me home. I'm not dead yet...I have some months to go so don't cry for me now." He was brave right to the end. They made his generation out of very strong stuff.
Thank you for sharing..
I am sure he is in peace now.. 🍀
No other comments made me cry besides this. Your father was a strong man.
What a strong man
This touched my heart and I know your Dad was strong. And so are you.
That’s badass. RIP
I just watched a shitload of videos about death and now I'm having an existential crisis on my bedroom floor
Jax lpic I'm terrified of my own death and I'm sitting here, almost a year later, doing all but crisis-ing.
Jax lpic No point worrying about death. Life is pointless and the sooner you realize this the happier you’ll be. It’s just a part of life
Thanks for the warning. This is the first one I watched and you've convinced me to not watch another one.
I love that humans die.. makes life precious. Transition from life death however is somewhat scary but im sure a beautiful and peacefull moment.
relatable
Talk about heartbreaking, this brought a tear to my eye. You have to give credit to the doctors and staff who show a brave face when telling others their loved ones are at the end of their life.
Thank you to that beautiful lady for allowing us to watch and learn from her saddest of times and for that lovely hospice doctor showing the compassion and humanity that was so needed in that moment. As a nurse I held many hands and tried to comfort both patients and relatives through times like these and my heart was heavy for each of them. I sat with and held my brother’s hand as he died unexpectedly within days of a diagnosis, no real warning or preparation, and even as a health professional the rawness and pain of those few days and the full process involved will stay with me forever. Take the time to speak to those you love about the end of life we are so focussed on celebrating the beginning let’s prepare a little for the end without being so frightened it remains a taboo subject.

I admire these professionals so much! I'd never be able to break news like this on a regular basis without becoming an emotional wreck.
What hurt me was when I realized I was about to lose my dad, I didn't need no doctor to tell me what I knew. It just hit me, like I got a year with my dad by just the way he talked to me that day. I was right, I even made my family aware of what I knew. It still hurt like shit losing him, knowing didn't really make it hurt any less or more when he passed.

Such a sad story!
Gosh, these women were so utterly empathetic and loving. They delivered the hard truth with the utmost compassion and kindness as humanly possible.
Two years ago, I lost my younger brother to a liver failure disease which progressed and caused multiple organ failure. He was there in the hospital for about 17 days and everyday we had to see him dying, not able to save him was immensely painful and still it is.. This video bought those painful memories back to life again…
RIP Clyde
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
I was shaving my dying Grandfather, shaking and barely holding it together when he looked up and said, "Awe, it's gonna be ok". I was a teenager and will take that memory to the grave.
😢😢u made me tear. I lost my grandfather too, and it so sad.
I still spend time with my grandfather and he means the world to me. I prefer sitting with him and listen to his stories rather then going out with other people.
Same with my grandma. She is having an operation in a few weeks and I'm afraid to lose her.
It was her 70th birthday yesterday
@Ranjit Tyagi I'm sorry for your loss. Sure, times are hard but everything heals some day and you should never forget the positive memories you had. If you remember them, a person is never completely gone. And I'm sure they loved their lives to full extent💜
Thank you, it means a lot to me. I send all love back too you from East Germany❤️I hope all your dreams come true and that you will find true love soon! My mum is 45 on 06/30 and single too. I think sometimes true love is hard to find. Especially if you are a hard working person who deserves so much, that God had to create special people for you😄💜
Please stay safe in those trying times🌺
@Chris Craft: Oh, the same happened to me. We visited my grandpa and he was doing pretty fine that day. He even managed to get out of bed and my mom showered him in the shower cabin. Later on he came back to bed where I shaved him. Then we talked about me going abroad soon and starting a new life. We talked about more and less serious stuff. Just a casual talk, one of hundreds we'd had. And then we got up because it was time to leave. He said goodbye to my parents the usual way and when I came closer he grabbed my arm and looked me in the eyes like he never had before. It was that typical you-are-going-away-and-I-am-dying-and-we-both-know-we-won't-see-each-other-anymore look. It broke my heart. He indeed died 1,5 months later when I was abroad and I couldn't come to the funeral. He had bowel cancer but died of a heart failure.
@@abdelkaderelbrazi Yes...I felt that pain.
This looks like the most depressing job ever and they don’t get paid nearly enough
The national average salary is $143,698 so I'd say they get paid enough. It's very depressing but if you choose this job, you don't do it for the money, you do it because you want to help people with their loss

This is so important. My husband had cancer and I needed help. I needed palliative care. When I brought this up my kids saw it as me giving up. I was an RN for 38 years and I knew my husband was dying. It was very difficult to take care of him and to do what I needed to do and think of him as my husband. I had to put my nursing cap on and see him as a patient. When he died I robbed myself from feeling the grief I should have felt. For Five years I suffered and made some terrible choices. After going to therapy and having someone help me by telling me I was suffering from overwhelming unresolved grief was I able to heal.

Death is a curse but can sometimes also be a gift. Goes both ways in this situation. Rest in peace Clyde.
Just by looking at him, you can already see he's dying fast.
I know, it’s so sad. I hope his wife is doing well now.
Someone said a year later from when this was posted that the wife had passed away too
I agree completely. There's a certain look of death that people sometimes have near the very end of their lives.
Not the right choice of words but ok
For him lying in severe pain for five more days, I don´t think it´s fast. It´s five long days of suffering... But I assume the´d given him a dose or something to "lighten" the pain idk.

why did u say that? i started crying after that
I lost my partner of 45 years just weeks ago....this video is so raw for me.I fought off Hospice and made preparations to have him home. That was not to be.He lasted 3 days in Hospice. I had doctor after doctor tell me what I didn't want to hear until I was befriended by a neurologist who did everything he could and knew I was in denial . In the end I looked to him for answers and he shook his head saying it was time and it was. I was slowly coming around to the reality we didn't have much time. He passed on his 3rd day in hospice...
