      The speech also would have been just as good if she did break up in tears. We shouldn't glorify "not crying" as strength. It's ok to cry.

    I just finished reading WBBA and came straight online to find a photo of Paul, his wife and daughter to put faces to their story.
    I have cried big fat tears for their loss and bravery, I will likely never forget Paul’s story. Lucy spoke on this TED with such clarity and strength, I’m so inspired by her and by Paul. Thank you for sharing your journey with us x

    I lost my cat this Jan 9th and I thought my year didn't start well and I found myself crying and sobbing,lost, empty and it was all so sudden that I couldn't bring myself to accept it and so I googled the best book on death and found this one and just finished reading it yesterday.I can say I didn't understand everything but I did understand death , the suffering and acceptance and what living meant.

  • @anishraman2978

    When referring to her, TED should have written "Dr. Lucy Kalanithi". As someone who works in medicine and academia, I see that sometimes women with Doctorate degrees are not referred to with their proper title. She's a doctor and should have been referenced as such.

    • @zain4019
      @zain4019 4 роки тому +40

      I strongly agree. I had a psychiatrist. I asked her her name early on and she said “Dr. Acharya”, and I didn’t quite catch it and replied “Acharya?”, and I really regret not addressing her by her full title today. There was a very slight, barely perceptible hurt on her face when I had said that. She just nodded her head, but I feel as if I should have handled things differently.
      Small things do matter and it’s these small moments that make up our life.

    She is a one brave woman. I just read Paul Kalanithi's book "When Breath Becomes Air".. and witness their struggles from Paul's writing.
    I think instead of only watching this video, you need to also read the book.
    I'm no fighting any cancer or any terminal illnesses, i'm perfectly healthy. But i watched far too many people who suffered through it.
    I really hope everyone gets to see this and read his book. It's honesty gave strength, not only for those who are sick, but literally everyone, especially those struggling to find the meaning of their lives.
    Thank you, Paul, for writing the book.. and thank you Lucy, for being his voice through this talk.

  • @yrisvento
    @yrisvento 6 років тому +45

    Wow now I can understand why Paul kalanithi found his soulmate in Lucy. As someone who experienced both sides as a caregiver-companions of my mom during her 6 year cancer and death at the same age of Dr Paul, and few years ago experienced cancer myself.. perfectly understand every single of Lucy’s words.. she is so beautiful. I love their so deep love and soulful connection. My case was the opposite and it hurts more than the cancer. But I survived. As I learned as a teenager from my mom the most important gift, “resilience” to live and to find purpose embracing life with all its colors with pain as joy, the importance of living with appreciation of the here and now, and the true about the fact that to born and dying are both natural processes that we will all go through and that death as a natural process.

      Man can be destroyed but can never be defeated . Having said that , to find out a life partner of this amazingly deep chemistry , is sheer luck . Physical demise is inevitably a truth every living being will vanish through but what we create in this ephemeral life is what makes it worth living .

    @linanicolia1994 5 років тому +22

    This young woman is tough and trained to face death as it is part of her job as well. When her husband was diagnosed with the deadly cancer, she did not take it personally but grew with the awakening state, we are here, for a very short time and we need to make the best of it. She and her dying husband did just that. Sharing the experience with people makes it more tolerable for her and actually, a very special privilege. There can be beauty in death. I do not mean physical but the beauty of the human spirit. Their little daughter will be proud of them !

    I could not resist tears as i turned to the last few pages of the memoir by Paul. At the few last moments of his life, he devoted himself to saving his patients, again. Sometimes while reading the book, i wondered would the chance of recovery be high if he had not returned to doing surgery? I dont know the answer. But i know one thing. He was yearning for a purpose, for the last commitment he could offer. It was absolutely beautiful.

    • @arara__
      @arara__ 2 роки тому +1

      I totally agree. I want to believe that it would've been different if he hadn't returned to surgery and overworked himself. But his dedication amazes me. His illness hurt me a lot, but his ability to remain positive and always helpful towards others makes me feel so much better; so sorrowful that he had to leave so soon.

The strength, compassion, and raw humanity of it all is moving, to say the least, and being able to put a face and voice to the matter is yet another great gift. Thank you for sharing such an elegant account of a decidedly difficult experience.

    I'm very recently widowed. I wish I had seen this before that happened--after all, I knew it would. The technical medical care was excellent...but I now understand that I was let down in emotional support and did not understand choices about things I didn't realize I could have done differently. I'm left with trying to think of all the good times, aware of how lucky I am in many ways--when the terrible memories of the end of his life invade my mind. After seeing this, I feel I much write to the medical team, who had all good intentions, about what went wrong that could have been prevented.
    This video is a very good thing; I'm sure it will help many others, and even the way doctors are taught.

    Amazing book and even beautiful talk. One thing that I couldn't completely agree with is that 'we always have a choice'. Money and other resources play a huge role in how families deal with a terminal illness. And at times when people are pushed against the wall with crippled finances, not a penny in their banks - maybe then is the time they won't really have a choice.

    First read the book years ago, then multiple times since. I never found the words to express my gratitude. My profession deals with life and death, and I initially expected insights for on the job. Instead, I received exquisite literature that made me a better clinician and more appreciative, mindful person. Yesterday a patient & fellow reader gifted me with the words: "from his first page, I forgot my fear. He reminded me I'm alive now and I have love to enjoy" Thank you Dr. Lucy Kalanithi, for ensuring that your family's lessons and Paul's art were available to us.

      It is in their scope to deal with death, so when it affects you, you move on with the same attitude. Training.

    A nurse I work with in surgery is a former ICU nurse. She quit because of the excessive care given to patients who are trying to die. So sad. Families need to know it's okay to let go. And not to feel guilty about their decision.

    powerful.
    No hard feelings. But i will say these stories are a day to day story in South Asian region.
    Ted talks are really doing great but stories of western world doesn't fit with stories of Asian world.
    Honestly we love listening to ted talks..but always stories about western doctors is what we don't want to hear. We as a doctor have faced so many problems and we do wanna share with the world.
    Last but nonetheless, I now get we are not meant to be with TED talks..but definitely you are true guys. Thanks

    If I have to be a vegetable in bed on life support etc just to stay alive a few weeks longer, I might as well rather take the shorter time and spend it more better and how I want. I do not want to die slowly, overtime, until I'm at a point of not being able to do what I live for. If I am restricted from my purpose in life, then what do I fight that extra time for. If I'm suddenly given an estimated time, I'd try to enjoy my final walk, rather than worry about how to make the walk longer and miss everything along side it. so I agree, I suppose.

      no vegetable on life support is on anyone's bucket list. Got to figure this one out. If you have family that does not mind caring for you, until the very end, it is good, but it is not always the case. I would not want that , as I am a loner and want to die, my way. My time and my decision unless I get hit by a truck......Got to figure this out.....no hospice for me. I will make sure of that.
