The fact she went to the temple on the patient's behalf is so heart-warming.
Very kind and compassionate lady. Stay healthy so that you can continue to spread love to others.
Very touching, and very brave of her. Not many people can deal with the terminally ill folks whom may pass on anytime. And the grieve of someone they befriended and watch them go.
A lady overflowed with God's love and spreading her blessings to all around her.
She not only tells the dying she cares but she shows them she cares by being there with them through their end stage of life. That is compassion.
Angels. Angels walking on earth. Some wouldn’t even do that to their own family let alone total strangers, years after years.
God bless all the volunteers. True angels!
So moved to see her love and compassion in action. Not just talk, but real action.
I didn’t know such volunteer work was possible. This was a very eye opening and stirring piece from Mothership. Thank you.
Rare gem…thank you and inspiring
Lydia is compassionate with no monetary return, real love
This is such a wonderful testimony in our modern and fast paced world, which is often harsh, hard and cold. Thanks for this very meaningful video!
This is something I wish I could do in the future.
Mdm, You are a very great, courageous and super kind hearted person!!! I agree with what you have said in this video. You have done good deeds!!!! My respect to you. I wish you and your family all the best!!!!
mdm, You are a very good example for all the people in Singapore. You sacrifice your time and the effort you put is great without anything in return. You are a great person!!!!!!!
God bless her.
Yes its true, besides suffering from the terminal illness, the hardest part of dying is resentment, anger, fear and letting go.. I have witnessed it myself. An advice for myself is treat yourself better when you are still healthy.
You’re an Angel sent by God to help them. 🙏🏻💖
This is something I respect and I know I can not capable of doing. I am horrible at dealing with departure but I know most old folks are lonely and some are unmarried so no family members to accompany them at old age.
Thanks for bringing comfort to those lonely old folks.
I’m so blessed to know Lydia and her selflessness has touched many people around her. She has always been amazing and inspiration to many! God bless her and her family!
She is great, got the heart of gold to help them with the terminally ill. Not many people can deal and befriended with them. God blessed her.
What a wonderful human being👏👍😊

True words
So much respect to this lovely lady!
I applaud her courage. It takes a very strong and compassionate person to be able to do it. So much respect for her 👏
I don't think i could do it myself even. I cannot bare to see people pass away all alone but it would break my heart to see them go without their love ones beside them. 💔
Well this is touching
Thank you so much!
Respect to this auntie for the care and love provided ☺️
You are very brave & have a big heart... My respect to you. 🙏

Thank you for this video:))) ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely lady
so touching 🥺
Keep it up 👍 great job , you never walk alone 💪
I think we must talk more about death so that we can lead a more meaningfull life with compassion and love.Material wealth and status are superficial pursuits of life.
I teared up
Thank you for all that you do :)
You will have a VIP welcome into the arms of God Madam ♥️♥️♥️
This is a lovely story
made me tear.....
It is so contrary that a patient has a gastric tube to prolong his suffering, a urinary catheter because of incontinence. Ll these contraptions used as long term solutions needs to be rethink. The appliances cayse discomforts, pain,& infections. If you have ever suffer from urinary infections you know how painful it us. Hope the caring professions will rethink the procedures.
Pls let me know how can I join you in this volunteer?
How can i volunteer like her?
Approach Assisi Hospice!
As what they say your deathstyle depend on your lifestyle now!
would it be possible to DM you Ms Tan?
