  • The words "borrowed time" have defined Julie Yip-Williams' life since she was born. She had already surmounted difficulties beyond imagining when, at age 37, she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Now, she prepares to leave her young daughters behind, passing on lessons of resilience. Tracy Smith reports.

    Driven by anger, and blindness she attended Harvard University and earned a
    Law Degree. Now, she has cancer. She states "no life is free oh hardships." What a strong and admirable woman!

    Julie passed away on March 19, 2018 🌹
    There hasn't been any updates on Julie since this video came out, not in the information tab of this video or in the comments so I just wanted to share this for anyone who wanted to know. She passed away only 8 days after this video was uploaded (March 11, 2018). It's been over 4 years since she passed and I really hope that her two beautiful daughters and husband are doing good ❤️
    BTW Julie's book was published and it's called "The Unwinding of the Miracle: A Memoir of Life, Death, and Everything That Comes After" for anyone who's interested!

    Never lie to kids about your health. It's gonna be much worse for them to deal with your bad condition and possible death. It's something that haunts a person until the end. Children are people who deserve honesty. Being oblivious to the nature of their parent's condition doesn't take the pain away but makes them confused.

      Someone I used to be friends with messaged our group chat one morning, letting us know she found her mom dead in her bed.
      After a few days, she found some documents that basically said her mom had terminal lung cancer that she _never_ told our friend about.
      She misses her mom but she's angry at her for lying and keeping it to herself.

    • @notyourdaughter
      @notyourdaughter Рік тому +1

      I strongly support this. As a kid, my Mom and Dad sat me and my brothers down to tell us my Mom is going to beat cancer because she is getting significantly "better" A year later she passed away and since then I have recovered from the grief I went through and I live a happy and successful life, but believing my mom was going to make it left something in me. It created so much denial and confusion for me and I really hope now or in the future the stigma of illness in families will no longer be a thing and every mother and father out there would be ready to tell their children to truth

    • @AamuAurora
      @AamuAurora Рік тому

      @@notyourdaughter I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm happy you were strong enough to overcome it to an extent but I can't even imagine that underlying fear and pain engraved in your psyche.
      My personal story wasn't so rapid and it wasn't my mother but I still struggle. I had an aunt who was sick. She had mental disorders I didn't fully understand and underlying health issues that fueled her pain. I had been oblivious to the fact until everything collapsed. At one point I was a kid and then when I was an adult, my family member was dead by su!c!de. On one hand she was embarrassed and deserved privacy but we were close family, raised by the same person, her mother, my grandma. I believe that it'd be easier for everyone without secrets. As a kid, I thought "they" had a secret club and had always felt they kept something from me. It's not even about my curiosity or entitlement to my family member's history but I genuinely think I'd have understood her better and she herself wouldn't have felt such burden. To keep secrets is difficult, it makes you feel isolated and people around you feel disconnected from you. People are very perceptive and read between the lines; that makes them feel dejected and those who keep the secret live in constant discomfort. I constantly think about our fights and her bad attitude towards me that I didn't understand as a kid. I had always aspired to be like her but as an adult I disliked her, even avoiding her. I replay our meetings, feeling guilty. I believe I'd treat her if the truth was in the open. Her behavior would have a reason and I could treat her as a struggling person trying to survive.
      You made a good decision to offer your kids honesty - adjusted to their cognitive abilities - in case of family problems. I wish you all best and hope you won't ever have to practice it.

    I lost my mom when I was 24, and I thought I was way too young to experience that. I always thought I would be in my 40s when my mom died. Since my parents were in their 40s when my grandmothers died. But at least my mom got to see me graduate high school, and attend college, attend prom. But them losing their mom in the single digit ages must be unbearable. And she was so sweet too.

    • @pinkmonkeybird2644
      @pinkmonkeybird2644 3 роки тому +2

      @@WanderingWolf365 I’m not disagreeing, but what’s your definition of snowflake and helicopter parenting? I’m sure we all having differing opinions on what those terms mean.
      As a parent of young children, I can honestly say there’s far more expected of us than previous generations. If I were to let my 10 year old play outside unattended or walk to the nearby park alone, I have to worry about a police investigation or charges of child endangerment from CPS. Because many parents need two incomes to break even these days, far more women are in the workforce now, and families with 2 parents working full time are common. Yet both parents are expected to attended every single event, lesson, social situation that our child experiences - and create a video record to boot. I’m all for bonding with my children, and we do, in fact, have a great deal of fun together, but I don’t remember my mother ever playing with me for hours on end - or even knowing exactly where I was every second of the day. How many parents have surveillance cameras on the kids all day long? Quite a few, and that’s kind of disturbing on so many different levels. I certainly didn’t have birthday parties with every classmate and neighborhood kid showing up - and nobody even heard of gift bags for every kid who showed up. If you don’t do those things now, you are considered a bad parent. And don’t get me started on being required to bring in expensive nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free vegan snacks for your kids and their friends every single holiday or event so none of the other kids feel left out.
      I’m lucky to send my kids to a great private school on financial aid. They don’t grade on a curve there, not every kid is a genius, not every kid gets straight A+s or certificates of participation in every activity. Friends who have kids in neighborhood public schools bemoan the “everyone is a winner” mentality and the over-parenting by the school. Those public school teachers have a tough job to keep order in a class of more than 30 kids, plus they’ve got standardized test scores to improve if they want to keep their jobs. So the joy of learning just isn’t there and kids get bored and distracted. It’s a mess.
      Surely some blame resides with parents who desperately want their kids to be successful, with their definition of successful is simply having a decent paying job with good benefits. They think that their kid getting into a popular college is their ticket to happiness and fulfillment, so they’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. What these parents don’t understand is by taking away any chance of failure, they’ve removed every chance of personal growth and resilience. My daughter has severe ADHD and we’ve made the difficult choice to not give her psychoactive medicine that could make her a better student because we don’t want to risk changing her personality. As a result, her grades are uneven and she inevitably loses assignments or can’t pay attention in class and misses concepts. Are we good parents or bad parents because we have allowed her to get bad grades? I’m honestly asking your opinion, because I don’t honestly know if we are doing the right thing. So sorry for such a long explanation, because I should have just said “It depends on how you look at it.”

Mrs. Yup-Williams, may you have full vision after your spirit makes a transition to somewhere else. And I send positive energy to your husband and girls, protection for the tough days, solace in the music. You are all beautiful.

      Correction. It is a common misnomer to think that Life is precious. Why is this so? Because in ultimate reality only Life exist and death does not exist. To put it simply, you will exist forever even without having a physical body. When you are on the "other side" it is your choice to be born again into the physical realm and face different type of challenges to evolve spiritually.

      @@independentsistah For some people life is 70% hardship and 30% joy. For others it can even reach 95% hardship.
      Now, let me give you an analogy. Once you pass away, (or to be more accurate, leave your physical body), you will gain a larger perspective on existence. You will be able to see the bigger picture of existence. Then in 99% of the cases, you will decide to be born into the physical realm again, choosing the challenges and difficulties of physical life. The question is, why would any soul choose this? Answer: For the purpose of evolving quicker and further. Will you accept, say 50 or 80 years of hardship in the physical plane and then because of this, once you pass away, you would spent say, 500 to 1,000 years in the afterlife filling with bliss and happiness? Of course everyone would choose this! It is like having a painful operation which lasts about a few hours and then living a relatively painless life later because of the operation you had. Can you see this analogy?
      The case of Julie is a good example in this video. In fact she/he (the soul has no gender) is already a highly evolved soul before she decided to take birth into the physical plane and choosing her health problems. Some souls do this to evolve even further and they will be able to reach mastery level in a few hundred years because of this decision. So we should not feel pity for her condition and instead celebrate her death because she lead a successful life.
