the peace and the calm. that is the point in the end
My mother spit up something that looked like coffee grounds .., What is this?
I love the idea presented here that we experience little deaths every day. My friend, who worked in Hospice, claims that life's little goodbyes: a lost pet, a broken heart, a friendship or marriage ending, are preparations for the final goodbye – death.
Ta lekarka jest okrutna!!! Empatii zero. Coś strasznego.
All is women is doing is trying to force and convince people to give up and die. She’s a disgrace and should be sacked. She has not idea how she would feel………..if she was told this by someone else. Shes a psychopath and she’s religiously motivated in what she believes. This should not be allowed in hospital.
I have CRPS and I get many looks when I say Im glad we don't live forever. I cherish every day as a gift and the promise of relief in death keeps ne going. My illness will never go away it in fact will only get worse in time. But death no longer clouds my every thought as I have recently come to terms with it with the help of believe it or not "guided mushroom therapy" 😅
Hey It really helped me take a long an calm look at myself and helped me get back in connection with myself. Time is fleeting, so cherish it with everything you got.
Gosh what I wouldn’t give to find a doctor who would talk to my family like this. My mom has end stage pancreatic cancer and my father is in denial. Prolonging her suffering feels so wrong to my sister and I but no one will explain the situation to my father and he won’t listen to us 😔
I don’t like this doctor
I'm very sick, no diagnosis yet. Colombian's Healthcare system is a death sentence. I need help. I'm in pain
All flesh is equal when burned.
That doctor is the absolute worst. the patients want to fight and all she's doing is taking that hope away "ah yeah, that's the hope.. but.. yeah no.", what a disgusting behaviour.
I literally stopped caring even for those I loved due to whatever they believe in to justify their extreme actions. Your born and you will die, try to live pain free the best way you can. That is it, oh, the real fight to is establish peace.
Why don't you try living
This is genuinely, hands down, one of the most eloquent, empowering, compassionate palliative care doctors I have ever seen. You can tell the passion behind her words and eyes, just based off this small glimpse of what her everyday is. Thank you Doctor Puri and all of the staff there for everything you guys do.
I hope when I’m dying my doctors are as kind as this.
This doctor has a level of intelligence and compassion that blows me away. She is an angel on earth.
You are helping me with this subject.😊💞
I was pleased that Senoir Lopez was able to pass at home with his loved ones. Dialysis and a machine to keep the heart going is too much if you'll never get off of it.
I take life so for granted. That 39 yr old Mother. This documentary my have just fundamentally changed my life. Love and light friends.
Normal People… In a correct state of mind… always want to live…😢
Man this doctor is so lovely. I have a huge crush on her.
I will never not be scared of dying like this. My father had cancer three times (thankfully he survived), but seeing him go down to 120/110 lbs in that bed terrified me, he was basically unapproachable because of the pain unless he was high.
Big hugs ❤❤❤❤❤
You can see that the old man is really wise and has lived a happy life. Best mentality ever
Im just scared period
If I'm ever terminally ill, all that I ask of my family is to not bring strangers and cameras into my room to help some person I don't know get over their fear of dying.
wompwomp lil bro☠😭🙏🙏
Pure woman with 3 kids 😢❤
Heart breaking 💔
Got me crying over here… i gotta go buy groceries 😩
i think at 20 imma jsut stay off the drugs and be kind to my body
You don’t need to fear death if you understand what life and death is all about….
What's been days that's seemed like years, stay like this is what i fear. Life ends so fast, take your chance and make it last.
My grandma died today. I saw her take her last breath… idk why I’m watching this. I’m just in shock still
This was so powerful. Thank you.
what a beautifully well spoken doctor. the 92 year old was adorable. he's so blessed. informative video
She's a Debbie Downer, let ppl have hope, there is nothing wrong with hope. Hope is at least positive and healing. Miracles can happen, so until it's final, don't be negative until you are 100% sure. Gees.
Angels come and talk to you when your close to passing the angels come to take ya home
I actually can't wait till I die ❤. think about when you where before you were born?…..
NATURE HAS THE ANSWER TO WHERE WE GO AFTER WE LIVE.
Isn't this terrible how we put our dogs out of pain but not people give him the same drug our dogs get let him drink it if he wants to I bet he would drink numbutol
