As a cancer patient receiving palliative care I prefer brutal honesty, not warm and fuzzy half truths or false hope. Nurse Julie, you are sharing your gift with the world, please continue.
Same
Yes, me too.
The day I was to see my doctor and possibly get another Lupron shot I guess I was complaining as to the increase in side affects and it was probably not going to do much.
The doctor said that I knew I was going to die and said maybe by another shot it might give me more time to get my things in order.
Actually my palliative nurse is good at helping me deal with pain. Will increase the dose and dight now every four hours. I live alone and son lives far away, but he knows what to do on my death. He has paper records of all my financial records, down to what all needs to be done. House is paid for and easie to stay here rather than trying to move. Send his two kids, 2 and 8 months, $25,000 each, money per year now. No taxes to pay and it makes better interest than what I was getting.
Son knows I am giving my neighbor of ten years money as she helps get me groceries, buy out food and some things around my house. Divorce with three kids. I have been given Mike any of my tools I have double or triple of for his motorcycle tool collection. Oldest, Hannah got married the firstcof this year, being only 20.
Now found she has cancerous tumor in her neck and going through chemo. Been like a grandpa to her. I kiss her liitle bald head that surprisingly makes her laugh. We both get food treats we both have on our why not list.
Now I think of her more then my cancer aith her only so young.
Doctor here will not shut down my pacemaker. Before I had it I found that dieing was easy as you just go black when heRt stops. Do have lots of pain pills if I get too tired. Oldest sister took her life living a long time with polio we all had in 56.
Well it is 3AM and a new part of not sleeping. Gave up much food ealier. So I am ready.
Me too with the brutal honesty...... When my Mama was dying of bile duct disease it seemed to me like a lot of the doctors & nurses tried to tiptoe around the truth. She was already in denial so not having someone sit down & lay it all out sternly & truthfully helped her deny it even more.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖
The scene where he is being shaved by his father is exactly what happened to me and my dad just two weeks prior to his death. He had wanted his beard shaved off for awhile, I brought over the Clippers and gave him a nice shave-and-a-haircut in even trimmed his ear hair and all LOL. He was so happy and looked so good and felt even better. I'll never forget that moment.
I shaved my father in the nursing home. I felt such love for him while doing it. Unfortunately my mother who could be cruel hung over my shoulder complaining that the aids could do it. My father's exchange was sweet and caring something foreign to her. After his death my daughter and I went with her to pick out a coffin. There was one with a mariners motif. We live on an island in the Atlantic. But no she overruled us and choose a coffin plain as it could be. She had to be in control never leaving room for us to contribute our wishes. Why were we surprised? That's the way she was. Always! When she died we picked out a coffin with roses in it. And planned a family only funeral. Her granddaughter, an opera singer sang Amazing Grace. We each placed a rose in her coffin before it was closed. The funeral aid told us it was the best funeral he'd ever been a witness to. Our testament to unconditional love.

May you be blessed in abundance for your love and honor to your mother in spite of her hard heart. ❤🙏🏼♥️
Thanks for being yourself and doing what you do.
Went to a friend’s house and discovered he was dying. He tried to be gruff and almost push me away. I sat down, told him he looked like crap and then we BSed for a couple hours. It was just like old times. He didn’t want sympathy. He wanted someone to treat him like the person he’s always been
Mom lasted five months after receiving a lung cancer diagnosis. She was the hit of the hospice level having accepted her fate. On her last night she went catatonic. My dad had died five months prior and I suggested to her that pop was lonely and wante her to join him. I got the call at midnight that she had gone to live with him. I sure miss them both.
Oh my goodness, this one made me cry! I just lost my Mom to cancer 10 days ago. She had the breathing changes. We called her sister for a video chat and we asked my Mom if she wanted to talk to her sister, she shook her head no, but we did it anyway for her sister to say goodbye. It was very sad as she didn’t respond to her sister and you could hear her sister’s heart breaking as she told my Mom she will love on all of us for her. My Mom seemed to be looking beyond me near the end, like through me. When my brother walked in, she looked at him and smiled. Later after us kids had a quick dinner, I checked in on her and she was taking her last two louder than normal breaths. Her mouth was open, but her eyes were closed, barely open. I called to my family that I thought she was gone. She was. We gathered around her and said, “Mom, you made it! You made it!” She was ready to go, she loved the Lord with all her heart. My young son came in the house with flowers for me and I put them in my Mother’s hand. We called hospice to let them know that she had passed and the arrangements we made came to pick her body up. Mom is Home, where she looked forward to seeing so many loved ones who had passed before her. God is so good, she is no longer suffering and is at peace. We will lay her to rest tomorrow.
Bless you and your family. 💐
@@christina3521 Thank you so much!
When I was a cancer patient, I much preferred a kind, gentle, understanding doctor. I told one young doctor to never forget that because I know I could die in peace then. For whatever reason, the doctor's attitude made all the difference for me.
😅
When my dad was dying the roles reversed. I was tha adult and I saw my dad not as my dad, but the frighten child inside. It was many things...scary, eye opening and it made me see both parents in a totally different light...I saw them as who they truly were as human beings, not just as my mom or dad.❤
Yes, I went through the same thing. Kind words and hand holding and soft conversations.
My dad died of the same cancer as portrayed. He was obviously sick before his diagnosis but didn't have 3-4 months. He was diagnosed March 3, 1994 and died April 2. They even discussed (briefly) Interluken 2 treatment. I saw this movie a few months I believe after he died. Hit me hard.
Edit; while I was watching the video it dawned on me that it was father's day today plus my wife just walked in and said she just broke a ceramic angel we had on a shelf rearranging family photos. What the heck?
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
So the guy wants his doctor to lie to him to give him hope? False hope? Not fair to the doctor, to the man's loved ones, not fair to himself.
My deepest sympathy to you ❤ It had to be unbelievably difficult watching this movie 🥺
I loved this movie!! I think it was one of Michael Keaton's best.
He was mostly a comedic actor until this point. He proved his acting abilities.
Yes yes yes- he’s good allllll around 🥹🥰
What is the name of this movie????
My Life is the name of this movie.
He's just a bit of a legend. I haven't seen this, and I will bawl all the way through it when I do. It will only be the one time and I can't bring myself to watch Jack Frost even that many times. It's good to know he got it right.
My friends sister died in May. Diagnosed in February. Fast downward spiral with family in denial, several hospital visits and my friend in pieces. Family talking about transplant treatments and my friend and her sister both knowing this was it. Through my friend, her sister got to get her things in order and somewhat prepared. My friend now suffers greatly. Goes to physical therapy with tension, headaches, BP up and on medication, panick attacks and social anxiety. She has become untrusty of her own body and afraid of strokes, cardiac infarctions and anything ending her life. Today she broke down when she went to return her brother in laws car. I picked her up bawling. Her sister were not greeting her on the porch as she always was in summer, and when she went to lock in to leave the keys, the House key was no longer where her sister always left them. I stayed calm and said it comes in waves. The realisation will hit in waves. She has one of my 2 cars and plans to visit friends many hours away this week. I told her to see it as an expedition, an exploration. Take her dog, a cooler, sleeping bag, hammock, dogfood, water and a toiletpaper roll. Then she can park wherever and however often that she needs or wants. Norway is beautiful, so stop wherever she wants. I hope she will come back with peace in her soul. She needs to grieve her loss. She just does not know how to do it.
You are a good friend.
Hi Julie. I’m a bit late in seeing this video, but I really hope you see this. My Dad was diagnosed with Small Cell lung cancer in June of 1999. I immediately flew down to be with my Dad, Mom and older sister. When we went with him to his first Oncologist appointment, Dr. Chang told my Dad that he had less than 6 months to live. Gripping my Dad’s hand, he (my Dad), croaked out, “You mean there’s no hope?” To that, Dr. Chang told him, “Mr. Monroe, you are going to a much better place.” I loved that. The Oncologist’s office ‘hold’ music was the Beatles “Let it Be.” AMAZING Doctor.
Now that is what I surely hope to feel when I die. Hands in the air and just so joyful! No more fear. No more pain.
Same
I don’t think he was dead yet, when he was shown on the roller coaster.
I think he was near death and his wife watched him raise his arms like that.
Yep, I’m an RN, MSN, neuro.
My field is not hospice, but neuro RNs see plenty humans die.
Yes, he was far-too engaged for someone so close, but Hollywood has, traditionally, done such a poor job portraying the realities of dying.
I had one patient life his arms straight up, smiling, and fell back on his bed and was gone. He had been my patient in the hospital for just a few hours, so I did not know him and no one expected him to go so quickly. His exhausted family had left just a few hours before, and so often people will wait to be alone so as to spare their family. My father was not responsive for the last two days (my siblings and I cared for him at home for almost a week), but he puckered up to give my baby sister one last kiss before dying. I shaved him and cut his fingernails five days before, something I had never done for him, and it was so wonderful and emotional for both of us. You are doing a wonderful job, Julie! I was a nurse for 25 years, did hospice home care for seven.
My husband was in home hospice a little over a year. This brought back all the emotions, the fear, the wondering when and how his death would be. Fortunately his hospice nurse was wonderfully informative so I was with him as he took his last breath - we were looking into each others eyes. He couldn’t speak but I told him “it’s ok to go, I love you.” His eyes told me he loved me too. And then he was gone…
That was 8 months ago. I miss him every moment of every day. God Bless you for what you do for others.🙏🏻
I am 25 years clean (sober) and just wanted you to know how much your videos have helped as we are currently caring for a family member who has end stage lung cancer and your videos have helped and inspired me. Thank you earth angel
Michael Keaton is an incredible actor. He is outstanding in My Life and everything he does. I think Nurse Julie is crushing on MK.
She isn't the only one...
First let me thank you for all the wonderful work you do. You are truly an angel of mercy. My mother passed 8 years ago w/ hospice care, and I was educated by the nurse how to recognize the death process. The last 3 years I had the honor of caring for my father. He was 90 when I moved in w/ him. He was still very active and sharp as a tack. Not long after I moved in his health started failing. Within 3 months he started having heart attacks. By 6 months he was diagnosed w/ esophageal cancer. He went through cancer treatment and lived another year and a half before the cancer came back. I lost my father May 25, 2023. I was uncertain how he die. Would he starve to death? Would the tumor make it impossible to breath, and he would suffocate? Because of hospice care my prayer for him was answered. He just slipped away. Thank you
Well,lost my husband,mom and brother in 2022 to cancer! It got very real in a short amount of time! The doctors did,nt beat around the bush! I was told they were at the end of life! Thankyou Julie for all the video,s you put out!
Prayers for these losses. I'm sorry you had to experience so much at one time. May the Lord heal your heart and give you peace. I've been there myself with my dad's death in 2006 and my oldest brother last October. One never gets over the loss, really. I miss both of them as if it happened yesterday.
I await the day i will get to see them in heaven one day. 🙏⛪️💞🕊
Sitting here watching my client die as I watch this. She is in he end. Maybe a few more days. Thank you Julie, your channel is helping me process my dad's death a few months ago and the death I am witnessing now.
Julie, you did a wonderful job sharing this movie. I am a nurse and I was reminded of the movie “Wit”, which is a stark contrast to this one, where it depicts the dying process in an extremely clinical manner in an oncology unit of a hospital. It stars Emma Thompson. It is a good movie. The coldness of dying in a hospital setting is accurately displayed and it truly juxtaposes the love and warmth of this movie. Warning: Wit is not for everyone.
This movie made a deep impression on me back in the day, especially that rollercoaster scene.
Same same same - I can’t stop crying in video
You’re amazing. I would love to hear more stories about people seeing their loved ones, or angels in their final months. Also, ant stories about people that died briefly, and were able to say what they experienced during those after life moments.❤
I’m
Going to do a LIVE Wednesday night - I’ll tell
Some there 🥰🥰
I took a picture of a Ball of Light with an Angelic being flying next to the B.O.L. last November 17th of 2022. I am here though, I have been seeing the signs of the end of the age for a time now. I can send the picture if someone wants to view it.
Oh yes more crying movies!!!
I had a hospice patient where death was imminent…. She was unconscious with cheyne stokes respirations. I estimated a matter of hours… that feisty son of a gun, did a total reverse of her mentation…. Awokened, totally alert and oriented. I’ve had some extraordinary experiences with what I believe to be, divinity. Keeps me grateful and humble.🙏🏻💜💜💜
Thank you Julie,your videos helped me through the last days of my mothers life. I Found comfort and peace in your guidance . GOD BLESS YOU
His father fidgeting with the lighter also conveys that he's having nicotine craving but he can't bring himself to light one up.
As a colon cancer survivor I want to Thank You for all you do and for being as caring as you are. Your words and work are so very important and appreciated. Honesty is the best way to help people prepare. False hope can be very detrimental. Sometimes there’s really no cure and it’s best to know that so you can live the rest of your life with your family. Much love and blessings to you.
Thank you so much for being here 🩷- thank you 🩵
Thank You for your service time knowledge commitment and compassion.
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and I think you are what a nurse should be, sincerely compassionate and kind! ❤
I sincerely hope that’s what death is like. I’m afraid to trust that death is a joyful release from the emotional and physical pain endured at one time or another in life.
I worked in Emergency Medical Services, both when I was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and as a civilian. I’ve heard a lot of stories from other medical personnel about patients that experienced death and were brought back through heroic efforts. Not all dying people experience seeing a light and feeling joy and freedom during the time that they’re deceased. I wonder why?
I recently lost my father 2 weeks ago to pancreatic cancer. I watched your videos for a year to prepare myself for the end. and it helped me tremendously. I love your videos and your energy in life. We need more plp like you in this world :) If you ever come to Woodstock Ontario Canada. I would love to take you out for a coffee and hear more :)
So sorry about your father.
My mom was on hospice. , you nailed what hospice did for my mom and family You describe hospice exactly , kinda of the case manager. .. My sister was a hospice Rn case manager too in the last half of her nursing career unfortunately she need hospice care herself . I remember my mom last days like i was yesterday .Even the last day of life she got up out of bed by herself and I was fooled so I went shopping at a hour later got a phone call Luckily my sister was there along wi some of her grandkids .
My precious Dad was placed on palliative care by hospice 12-9-09. There was a 10 day hospital stay in January 2010 for what was originally thought to be a stroke, but turned out to be a severe UTI. When I arrived he had told the lady at assisted living that he was ready to “kick the bucket “. I asked him about the statement. With that old twinkle in his eyes he said, “I think I’ll hang around a little longer.”. Dad passed 2-16-10……10 weeks….70 days…..1680 hours….. I miss him more today than ever.
Julie, I lost my mom and dad 4 and 7 years ago, respectively, and I truly wish your videos had been around back then. They have really helped me to understand and appreciate what they experienced when they were dying, that they were not in pain or distress, and that they are both okay and together.
Now that my husband's parents are approaching the ends of their lives, I've recommended your videos to him to watch when he's ready. Thank you for the incredibly important service you are providing! 💕💕💕
I cried through most of the movie when I saw it the first time and can't bring myself to watch it again. I cried through your review and also when reading the comments. It is so touching. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts about a difficult subject matter. "My Life" is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I just can't watch it again.
When the wife of British actor Rex Harrison, Kay Kendall was dying, it was decided that she would not be told. I watched a UA-cam documentary about her and viewers were so angry that Rex didn’t tell her. This was back in the late 1950’s, which shows you how far we’ve come in our approach to death and dying. But, as we see depicted in this movie, not everyone handles the truth. I can see why some doctors would be tempted to give false hope. Also, there are inexplicable cases of recovery or remission.
Anger is an expected and common response to initial terminal diagnosis.
Everyone deserves to know.
When my dad was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in 1986(already had metastasized to his spine), the oncologist had tried to “sugarcoat” the prognosis & said maybe dad could live 2 more years. It was up to my mom to call the dr. out on the sugarcoated prognosis & she called him a bulls#$t artist! Sometimes the kindest thing a dr. can offer is compassionate honesty.
I have RSD, now called CRPS, and have for 40+ years. I've been in & out of remission many times, currently out. The one thing I've come to appreciate most, outside of pain meds when not in remission, is a Dr who is a straight shooter! Truth brings a freedom of it's own!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻- Kathy I couldn't agree more
I get why it makes one cry. For me it’s the emotional connection with his family. I hope I have that when I die. Which will be sooner rather than later as I am with hospice as I speak.
I’m going to have to watch this movie. Thank you for reviewing with us. Love your emotions. I am a terms of endearment fan but going back and watching it now (as are all the movies I watched in the 80’s, lol😂) is cheesy. I love Debra winger. But I love micheal Keaton more. As a hospice nurse, I totally agree. Thank you so much for making this channel! ❤❤❤
Oh Julie, I've seen this movie many times and always makes me cry, it was so moving, pretty authentic ❤️
We were able to be with Mama, like this, though we didn’t do a circus. We were that circus! Mama was so loved and respected, by everyone, and easy to be with. Miss her, since 1993. ❤
I remember this movie…I loved how he video taped everything for his kid. This made me cry too, especially when the parents had a circus in the backyard for him.
A side note, thank you for your channel and bring death to light (haha). I am not as fearful about dying as I have been. I don’t focus on my age and how many years I may have left…I’ve been doing that since I was 24, I’m now 52. You are a kindred spirit and your friends are lucky to have you…
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
My Life was a great movie. He was dying and wanted to make sure his son(who wasn't born yet)to remember him even if it was a video tape.
My sister died in 1983 at the age of 31, from cancer of the mouth. She wanted to stay alive so badly that even after aggressive treatment, surgery, chemo and radiation, (nothing helped) the doctor finally told her, you know, no treatment is an option.
I'll bet he went home crying that day... My sister is now a Saint.
Love Michael Keaton; love this movie. Haven’t seen it for YEARS! 😢
Right- it still holds up!
Fully agree, Julie! This has been one of my favorite movies ever. I bought it and wait sometime to watch it again and again. Thanks for sharing your experiences and helping us to prepare for our loved ones’ departure as well as our own. Keep going 🌸
I like to see people actually passing away in hospice care .my dad did it was really peaceful
Damnit. Watched the end of this in a grocery store parking lot. I’m welling up and people are LOOKING AT ME. One old lady stood behind my car until I got out and asked if I was Ok.
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹-- awwwwwwwwww 🥹🩷
Hello I came across your channel and simply think your an amazing woman I can feel your Honesty and your Heaven sent im going to binge watch your videos now Hola frm Dallas Tx👌❤️❤️
My Dad just passed exactly like this last Thanksgiving. Kidney cancer, spread upwards. Same bed, intermediate hospice, same morphine dropper, changes in breathing last few days up to a death rattle. We think he "crossed over" too, because he asked my sister out of the blue for a "garment."
My mom received her angiosarcoma diagnosis on May 25, 2023 she passed on June 15, 2023. The dr told us days, weeks to 2 months. Mom passed in 3 weeks. It was the hardest time of my life. It was too late, she was so sick. We had to put her in the bed June 10 and I watched her spiral quickly. I kept wondering if the methodone, morphine sped up things. It was the hardest thing ever to watch and hear. 😢 my mom's breathing changed at 3am Thursday morning it was awful and she was not coherent and died at 5pm Thursday afternoon. 😢 just before she passed her eyes opened, she started breathing hard and she looked up to the right for a few seconds then shut her eyes, 20 minutes later she was gone. Three days before that she looked up to the right and said "my baby girl". We have a sister who died immediately after birth.
🥹🥹🥹- thank you for being here
Julie you give us all the feels. Thank you for taking the fear out of this process that we will all face. ❤
While this is a fantastic movie, im a huge fan of the movie Beaches, when i say i bawled like a baby, i mean it with everything in me!! Thank you for what you do Julie, continued blessings to you and yours.
I am crying with you, Julie. Thank you Lady!
😭🥹😭
My uncle found out he had cancer. Was perfect! Two weeks later he died.
the thing we have to remember is everyone is different even someone dying.
Thanks for the roller coaster analogy… I think you’re 100% right! A good death (from the human perspective) is truly sacred and just so beautiful.🙏🏻
Keep Doing what you’re Doing, I have reached the time in life where I am starting to lose A lot of Family and friends, My Mum, passed 1 year ago next week, 27/11/22.And your videos have been a real Help to me, Thank - you, Julie, Best Wishes from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🙏🕊✌️
Most people being told they have 3-4 mos to live are already tired of fighting and just want to enjoy the time they have left, & not be sick ALL THE DAMN TIME from chemo or whatever treatment!
Julie, you are a beautiful women both inside and out. You bring strength and compassion to your patients.
Michael Keaton must have witnessed someone dying in order to make the movie? I witnessed my husband’s death to the last breath and it was the most beautiful and sacred moment I’ve ever witnessed. I saw all the changes and the color after the last breath. He was at home with hospice care. I took care of him.❤
You are doing an awesome job i wouldn’t change a thing it’s informative about our deaths, education improves our decisions and outlook ❤
Just love your work and how real and honest you are. I have learnt so much from you. I think everyone should watch your videos. Thank you so much xx
Perhaps you could show or explain the "moon face" from steroids, the extreme edema and weeping in legs; how the caregiver will have to deal and take care of that. Both those things were a shock to me and our hospice nurse neither forwarned us and was clumsy to ignoring in helping me learn how to care/bandage/etc the weeping edema. I had to look alot of things up on the internet and then ask her about bandaging and so forth. It was extremely hard for someone not at all in the medical field to know what to do.
If that mad sense.
Thanks Nurse Julie. I wish I had found your channel alot sooner before the death of my loved one.
Brilliant review ..thanks julie..
One of my favourite movies is " My sisters keeper"
Always gets me ,and feels so real.
Steel Magnolia 's Julia Robert's ❤️ Sally Field's was tear 😢 ful Loved Shirley Mc Lain as wheezer
Don't worry about Crying. I did too when my mom, 2 brothers, my grandmother and a nephew died of cancer. It reminded me of this movie.😢😢
My dad had cancer that spread all over his body and he looked healthy until a couple of weeks before his death, then he rapidly progressed. We didn't even know about the cancer until he collapsed and at the hospital, they did scans and tests that diagnosed him. He died about 2 weeks later.
Patch Adams was such an amazing heartwarming movie! I would love for you to do that one too. 😊
I loved "My Life" and hope more people were (and are) inspired to watch it after seeing this video.
My Life is one of my all time favorite movies. The underlying hostility and anger of the character that Michael Keaton plays was portrayed beautifully by him, until he forgave his family. Nurse Julie, my friend and I got seats for a preview of this movie before it was released. We both blubbered our way through that movie, even though it hadn't been finished yet. We gave them feedback. I just don't think they could have shown much more, because even then the movie was still too brutal for the masses.
I love Michael Keaton!!! I saw this movie when it first came out and bawled my eyes out.
One of my favorite movies! Michael Keaton is so under-rated.
Wait, so you're telling me Michael Keaton dies at the end? NO!!! Lol. Thanks for your wonderful, thoughtful channel. I cared for my wife in home hospice and will always cherish the time I spent bathing, cleaning and feeding my wife through the end. It was my way of giving her my love in the most personal way. Thank you also for the care you give your patients.
Hi nurse Julie, I loved this video, I cried like a baby at the end of the movie.. love you girl!! Take care.. ❤😊
Awwww thank you!! I just told my editors that I cried WATCHING me cry!!!!!! 🤣
@@hospicenursejulie 🤣🤣
I also cried, I didn't even watch the whole movie, I hate crying first thing in the morning, for a movie! I will search for My Life, what a comfort
My mom was very sick. All the signs were there. I even got signs from above, but I kept thinking she was gonna get out of it triumphant like she always did. I only didn't think it, I believed it. It's scary how I missed the biggest sign. Saw it in my own writing, but can't remember writing it, let alone how it got there, but when I returned after 2 weeks, right there, taped to the TV screen was a piece of paper that said the day she passed. Exact day, month and year. I guess they saw I wasn't getting it and that was their last attempt.
Can you review Philadelphia? Tom Hanks dying scene was definitely a tear jerker
Also Magnolia with Jason Robards.
Thank you for this!
Thank you for this
I worked on a neuro-medical unit during the AIDS epidemic.
I was a brand new RN
Nothing came close to show death of most of our patients with AIDS dementia complex.
I’ve never witnessed such horrific suffering.
Philadelphia does not come close to reality. Sorry.
Michael Keaton is my favorite actor and I love this but I can't watch it for different variety of reasons. He does do an awesome job in this and many other movies too! Thank you for reviewing this though! Such a sad movie though.. 😢
I've never seen this movie but it looks heartwarming. As far as end of life scenes in movies the one I find almost comical is in Gone With The Wind when Melanie dies. I know it's a very old movie and things were different then with censorship but the whole scene is more strange than realistic.
OMGosh. 😭😭 I need to see this movie. Thanks for sharing this!
It's sssoooo gooood
can you speak to supporting people who do accept that they are going to die.
Yes 🩵- I have a video coming that is in this area
Your videos are educational and helpful to all of us. As you said, we will all die some day. Could you explain how we should help the dying feel more at peace during the last few months of their life? What do you notice that seems to put the ill person at ease? I watch your videos to teach me how to cope with death and make it easier to handle. Thank God i have my faith in God which helps me a lot.
I would love some more info on what actually happens when you die, what you as a loved one should think about, or other stories similar to the 'angel video' you posted recently.
I have ALWAYS loved this movie AND Michael Keaton🥰
i love this movie, too. thanks for filling in some insight into what is going on during the process
I just love your channel! It's so beautiful and educational. I like your critiquing dying sequences in films. Can you please review the death scenes in Bette Davis', "Dark Victory" and Merle Oberon's "Wuthering Heights"?
Thank you, Julie!!
Can you make a video about the stage 4 prostate cancer with bone metathesis? If the mortality rate is 30% in 5 years, what does the decline look like? What will the quality of life look like and for how long?
My partner has the same diagnosis, and an elaboration on it would be helpful, especially since one month into hormone therapy, he was put on chemotherapy. Julie, you're so helpful to those of us who want to be a comfort to the ones we love.
Jenny Appleford just died from a aggressive form of lung cancer this Nov. 5th. She had some bouts of energy and she stood up to dance with her husband with whatever energy she had left!
I loved this! And I love all of your input. A little hard to hear you with the music.
Don't stop!
Thank you!!
I love this movie & cry every time I watch it. I hope death is like being on a roller coaster. I’ve just been diagnosed with severe heart failure. Don’t really know the implications yet, hope I found out soon❤
Beautiful! Thank you!
Love that you are normalizing death. It is as natural as birth and in a way, I feel, as beautiful and special. I look at the fallen autumn leaves and realize that as they decay and break down they are nourishing the Earth and facilitating new life. We are all part of the cycle, the continuum. Life and nature are magical. On another tangent, I am wondering what your thoughts are on human composting. Its taking off in the US and I really hope it comes to Australia. Its the only death care option that makes sense to me. But, thank you for what you do in educating about end of life care. Its the not knowing that creates fear and overwhelm. Knowing what to expect and what is a normal part of the dying process helps enormously. Blessings.
I have been through cancer twice. I think it makes me more sensitive to being sick, and dying. Working in healthcare, you are as well.
Ok. So I have never seen this movie. But I am weeping just by watching you weep watching it and commenting 😅
the part where he said “take my hope away like that”. I have been that pissed at my oncologists appointment. telling me my cancer is aggressive and WILL always come back. Ok probably true but with no noticeable cognitive impairment and no worse (even better) than before treatment. Am a year into treatments and I wanted to slap the crap out of her.
They have the right to 'fire you ' as a patient. Try to get a grip on your temper. There is no cure for the type of Leukemia I have, I accept my fate. It never occurred to me to strike out at the people who are caring for me.
@@mattdonna9677 Lmaooooo I’ve never struck out at someone caring for me!!! everyone has their emotions and i was just stating what mine was at the time
Why do you want to “slap the crap…?” Because you’ve done better than expected?
How wonderful that you’re doing well right now.
@@JaimeMesChiens you face a devastating diagnosis and try to live anything that resembles normal with the every one overseeing your care giving you no hope and tell me how you feel??? and yea because IM even still ALIVE. give over smh
Wow...I'm still healthy at age 68 but have been thinking about my own mortality lately. Not in a morbid way...in an accepting way...a way that I couldn't even imagine when I was younger. I hope I have a few good years left but pray for acceptance at the end.
I've never seen this movie but now I have to find it ❤
It’s streaming - but I can’t remember where 😬😬😬😬
Great video and movie. I have had family and friends die very similar with cancer.
This was a painful movie for me. My father had just been diagnosed with brain mets when it came out. I had to walk out and cry. I didn't watch the entire movie until 10 years later. It is very real.
i love you Nurse Julie!!!! have my son hunting down My Life to stream for free!!!!!
