- Nurse singing dying patient’s favourite song touches millions.
Tear-jerking video of a Nashville nurse giving comfort to a dying patient
A Nashville nurse is being called ‘an angel’ after a video of her comforting a cancer patient went viral.
The video taken at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, shows nurse Olivia Neufelder comforting Margaret Smith by singing her favourite song, Dancing in the Sky by Dani and Lizzy.
The 63-year-old patient had been battling liver cancer for a year and just learned that she was too weak to survive a transplant.
Neufelder decided to sing to Smith to cheer her up.
At one point, the nurse is seen wiping her own tears as both of them become visibly emotional, and tells Smith to smile and sing along to the chorus.
The video was posted on Oct. 23 by Smith’s best friend, Crystal Hamilton Roberts, and has since reached over 13 million views.
In a Facebook post she wrote, “she would sing this to Margaret whenever Margaret asked her. Never would Olivia ever say give me a minute, I would but I don’t have time.”
Smith passed away two days later. Her wish was to play that song at her funeral.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with funeral expenses.
Don't say we need more people like this, say i can be that person!
Yeah you're right! .. I can be that person!
Exactly
So true ❤️👏👏
Vocês são hipócritas.
YES!!
I’m a nurse.... I can’t sing but I remember staying way past my shift to hold the hand of my dying patient. He had no one. It’s these small little acts of kindness we nurses do that no one else sees. Bless these girls 😇
😘
That man saw and felt it. And, God saw it. Thank YOU, it has to be hard to have that emotional depth at times.
Been there done that and its a feeling of sadness you can never forget. How can families forget them before they even die.
Thank you for everything u do!! God Bless u..
Bless your heart,,
Some of us do see...we love and adore you for the care that is unseen. My beloved daughter was in a coma after suffering a TBI, she had tubes in every orifice, her brain was so injured that it tried to squeeze out of her brain stem, she almost lost both legs and her right eye. She had teams of doctors, for her heart, lungs. bones, eyes, ….one bad report after another! It was an ICU nurse who spoke words of healing in my ears, it gave me strength and lifted me up so that I could withstand the fear that gripped my mothers heart, After staying right by her side for over 3 wks., even napping on the floor next to her ICU bed I made my way outside of the hospital for an hour. When I returned a nurse was holding her hand and weeping. I panicked and asked what's wrong? The nurse replied, "Nothing, she just reached out and grabbed my hand and I did not want to let go." I will never forget this extreme act of compassion that would of gone unseen if I had lingered a few moments longer. You are loved because you are love, some see.
Holding her hand is probably her favorite part. That simple gesture means so much to make people feel not alone. Thank you!
@Christopher Hughes I know nothing about you, your circumstances, your faith (or non faith), your age, health, etc. But something about your comment touched me in a way I can't even describe, so I don't need to know any of the above to care about another human being. Just please know that from this day on (October 19, 2020), you won't be as alone as you think, because you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I've already said two prayers for you, and will continue to pray for you. God is always with us, and He does hear our prayers and our cries. Sincerely, Joyce
Touch is such a universal need. This lady, bless her, was dying and this Nurse became her angel. It must be hard to do that, feeling it so deeply. God Bless them both.
Thank you for showing this beautiful woman unconditional love and beauty and carry but she's going on to a better place give her peace and helped her in her transition God bless both you girls so much.
This nurse is a gem. A lovely nurse held my hand before undergoing my double mastectomy. I was worried and crying. Her act of human kindness gave me much comfort.
Brought tears tp my eyes
When it's my time, I hope God sends me a couple of caring, loving angels like these two.
Me too
Same
That so sweet
It is love
My father has two home health aides who are those angels.
I love that nurse !!!!!!!! some nurses really love and care about people ... there are a lot of angels on Earth !!!!!!!! 😇😇😇
Beautiful
Me too♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nurses are awesome wonderful amazing people they are truly magnificent people thank you’s all
During this time , the angles around her and good hearted nurses. To Heaven and Back: Guy says he met Jesus after Car Accident

My daughter is a. Nurse !!compassion and dignity !!proud !!
This nurse not only has the voice of an Angel but she is a true Angel sent from God he is living in her
so true
You sound like Jesus
No your wrong f she is non-Muslim then she does not have an angel but sure she does have a voice of an angel
Ofc
Syed Abdulhadi Jesus is THE way THE life and THE truth. The only way to the Father in Heaven is through Him. Jesus IS God Almighty and it is through HIM and HIM alone that you can even see the Father In Heaven. Father Abraham AND the prophet Muhammad, both know that Jesus is the way. Now. You would be wise to seek HIM and Him ALONE and repent of your sins.
This is not a nurse, this is an angel
This is the way everyone should die; being sung to and cared for.
And pumped full of morphine to help you on your way
@@nellyt2807 OH DEAR!
My grandma died alone, the doctors just didnt care about her anymore. It still haunts me
Sad lol to all of u
god bless these cnas and nurses that treat humans like humans!!!!
omg im crying and i cant stop...BLESS THEM BOTH!!!!!!!

Elizabeth Nash 🥺
Seriously tears fall down frm my eyes
Does anyone know the name of this beautiful song.She sang it so beautifully.
I am crying right now ️😢😢 RIP rest in peace hugs and kisses😢😢😢
Why can I only like this once? What a wonderful woman the nurse is. ❤️
Sd tg crein
love ur pic btw
That's why you felt compelled to put a comment as well! A "thumbs up" like just wasn't enough! 👍
Nurses are the best Thanks, God for the Angels Nurses 😇🙌🏽🙏🏼
You can tell it was too hard to hold back the tears. She's an angel herself.
You don't need to be a nurse to be the only light in someone's darkest day. Be That Light, Let It Shine, anywhere and everywhere whoever you are.
Sure
Absolutely..! As HE taught us to be.. ❤
That’s right! You don’t have to be a nurse…we just need to a person who is willing to be kind and show it. 🙏❤️
Amen ! Let it shine for all those to see because nobody knows when somebody needs that little bit of hope in what seems so dark to them at that moment.
The people that disliked were to busy crying that they couldn’t see what they were pressing
Edit: omg there are some real angles on earth because all of you liked my comment! Thank you so much! This means the world to me x
YES!
Yeah
yess who would dislike this bruh
sunnxdayz EXACTLY........ OR THEY MEANT IT AS ‘THEY FELT SAD’...
the people who disliked are youtube bots
This nurse's singing and comforting this patient is more effective than any treatment she could ever receive!
CHF you get home from
As a nurse, my most memorable moments have been there for those transitioning from this world to the next. This profession is a spiritual calling.
It takes a Special person to be a Nurse..Thank you for what you do
To The Lady that made the comment on being there while they are leaving this Live for the next Just Wanted To Say Thank You For Being these people ANGEL'S 🙏💛💙
My darling wife was 10 weeks in a Hospice before she died. The nurses were absolutely brilliant some of them would go and sing to her. God's richest blessings to them all.
So sorry for your loss. Just lost my Dad and the hospital wasn’t allowing visitors due to Covid. The nurse was with him when he passed and comforted him. Bless her!
@@farmingwithbron I'm so sorry you couldn't be there with your dad. I so wish they would allow visitors. You'll be in my prayers.
Sorry Brian.
Sorry Walt
Sorry for your lost! I hope you are well, she will be by you all your life! Hugs!
I've got chills, this is so beautiful.
Someone raise this nurse's pay
Am a nurse and for me the money is not a priority but I wish more people understood what we do everyday. To be honest I heard a nurse said that she got more respect when she was a bartender than she does as a nurse and its so true
@@littlepeky It is, I have many friends that are nurses or have gone on to be nurses later in life
It's not about money, but about caring and loving your job !
the people who disliked this couldn't see because of all the tears in their eyes
Ikr
@Susan Fuego then dont watch it??
Arthur Morgan what do you mean Australia, l’m Australian and l love this video and l have giving this a thumbs up
Arthur Morgan Random fact check
I’ve been a nurse for 45 years - this doesn’t happen very often. This is what nursing should be about.
God bless everyone who sat next to a person ,and comfort them in thier last hours. May thier last hours be filled with joy and peace. God bless them all. 🙏
This is heartbreaking... when you are laying there.. knowing it's about to come to an end. I do not care what anyone says... we are all am scared in that moment...
If you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour, death takes you right into His presence. Paul said, "absent from the body,and to be be present with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8.
I think there comes a moment when fear subsides, and peace wraps you up...........
You shouldn't be scared of leaving since you're ' kool calm and collected'
Yeah, somehow.
You may not care what anyone says but you're simply wrong. NOT everyone is afraid to die.
This is the sort of thing the general public doesn't know about nurses: They go out of their way to make a patient comfortable even if it means singing to that patient. You won't find a doctor doing that. Generally speaking, doctors are in and out.
You said it all, it's sad but true! Wish all nurses could get the respect they deserve!
not here in germany. in many hospitals doctors stay and talk to you if you are afraid. they even cry with you when you get a devastating report.
This nurse is doing it for herself - do you really think she wod bother if she didn't have an audience?! Nurses are some of the most horrible people on the planet!
@@peaveyst7 that's awesome
@@aintnobodyherebutuschicken1418 Looking for a comment? You got it!
She has/is such an amazing gift! I'm not talking about her singing exactly, but her ability to comfort people in what most of us feel is the scariest part of being here on Earth. I pray that God blesses you way beyond your comprehension!!
My wife is a nurse to.. there has been countless times my wife has also held many pts. Hand during the end . I love her so much for be such a caring mother wife and nurse.
Humans can be so kind and beautiful too❤️
wait...what do you mean humans...are you a human too
Kate Eby
Oh my, are you a human too???😱
No wayyyyyy
People can be so rude
You're right - it's a balance for the cruelty that some inflict on others.
They usually are it’s only the bad apples that get the attention.
Isn’t nursing a great profession??? I thought so 27 years ago when I became one❤️
Nurses are some of the most horrible people on the face of the planet - but they do love attention! I doubt that she would bother singing to a dying woman if she didn't have an audience!
Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens. Wow you are the only one asking for attention. You are copying and pasting the same comment over and over again. No, not all nurses are horrible, there are definitely some out there, just like there are horrible cops, or political leaders, or people of all races. There are bad people no matter what. There is no profession that you can say everyone is bad, unless of course it is the type where you are breaking laws and things like that
I’m so sorry you must have had bad experiences with nurses. There’s horrible people in all professions but there’s also the good. My mum was a nurse in a hospice, so caring for people that were dying, she did this for 35 years of 40 years spent being a nurse. A lot of nurses do things like this. Some will stay hours after their shift has finished to stay with someone so they’re not alone. They will arrange for them to see their pets one last time, or to see their son or daughters graduation. It’s cruel for you to say she only did this because she was being filmed. It’s very likely she did this to be kind. I hope the next time you or someone close to you needs a nurse you’re cared for well
RN since 1989. Never not once did I dislike my job.
Thank You 🙏 🥰❤️🌹🌹🌹🥰❤️❤️❤️
😥 This reminds me of my sister who works in a nursing home. I can’t even count the lonely souls she has comforted to their last breath making sure they don’t die alone. Unpaid many times! She says the families all show up after to fight over who gets what. Sad world, but beautiful how some give their heart to others, singing or not yet these girls are ❤️
I work in a nursing home and that is very true. I’ve cried at the bedside holding the hand of a resident as they passed because family either didn’t care to be there i they didn’t have family only to find out the family cared more about who gets what than the loss of the loved one. I lost my dad 3 months ago and I was able to be with him until his final breath and I couldn’t imagine not being there. Missing my dad is what brought me to this video ❤️
I’m a 52, a rough, old truck driver, and it was all I could do to finish watching this.
I’m a 30 year old grown man and I’m in tears watching this. What an amazing nurse, absolutely beautiful xx
Pussy
@@guyinacoffeeshop2239 you are an insecure child.
Beautiful mate, crying is a sign of real strength in Men.
@@Sweetlyfe thanks
@@Sweetlyfe Yes
An angelic performance by true life angels, bless them.
IM CRYING..😥 THIS WILL HAPPEN TO US ALL..ONE DAY..MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR BELOVED FAMILIES..AMEN..😇💕💕💕
Fear not! See yourself as One with the Universal Spirit.
Amen!
I hope when my time comes I have someone who is as caring and compassionate as this with me ❤
This nurse does not only have a voice of and angel but she is a true angel sent from god 😇
She is a good person how she is, her personality is herself, not god. Remember that....
@@bradleyduval1294 True but I'm describing her voice :)
Why would someone give this a thumbs down?
Matthew Ritch maybe because it just hurts. No offense. I'm okay with it. It shows the love of a human being showing another human being in the time of death.
Bc they are crying so much they couldn't tell it was a thumbs down
Why do people waste time looking some thumbs down? There are 15,000 thumbs up, why are you wasting your time talking about thumbs down?
Bless this sweet nurse. A heart like hers is beautiful to witness.
I have no doubt that nursing is a blessed profession by God
i love that nurse she is so kind and cares about people god bless
If I die alone in hospital, I want those type of nurses!!!
Front Line Worker........, This Is What They Do! Aides, Nurses, Doctors.....
For 29Yrs I Had The Honor Of Serving As One! The Best Job Ever!
All of my best friends are nurses and I'm an MA myself. Nurses are simply amazing.
Aside from the medical field, I do a lot of youth ministry work and I sing and play guitar. (I'd rather sing with people because I get terrible stage fright but I've been known to do solos in the right situations😬) One of the most profound memories I have was joining a friend with her family after work one day still in my scrubs and her mother had gone in for a routine procedure and never regained consciousness. I stayed as long as I could into the night but had to go home. But I think next 2 days there trying to help if I could. By the 3rd day, the difficult decision had to be made and the church was told. I had grabbed another friend's guitar and I had been playing and singing with the family in her ICU room. Usually the nurses want it kept quiet but they let us do it and even opened her door so they could hear better. Next thing I know there's about 30 people there from church with more arriving and it was full chorus. It sounded amazing... I don't think I've had sustained goosebumps for as long an amount of time as that... This went on for hours and people would leave and be replaced by more people. I played until I couldn't feel my fingers anymore and then my friends uncle (brother of the patient) took over the guitar and we kept on. When his finger gave out, it was back to me. This went on from morning until about 2am the next night. The life support had been ended in the middle of all that singing but she kept breathing on her own so we kept singing. The patient's 2 kids (my friends) and I were still stuck on singing so we kept it up after people went to sleep. She was moved to the med-surge floor for comfort care but we'd gotten requests from some of the ICU patients and some of their families to go back up to ICU and sing some more. Their mom was dying but singing was what was holding them together. It was one of the most profound things I've ever experienced and I swear, I could have heard angels singing along at certain points. I'll never forget it or what it taught me.
May God bless that nurse. God is now watching over her patient.
Wow, I can’t stop crying 😢
Crystal Sapa I can’t either
Same😭
Imagine being one of them is like saving someone one day and seeing someone die the next day.
My beautiful friend Pam sang to dying patients like this before she was murdered by her teenage son. Terrible loss losing such a caring person as she was. This reminded me of her.
Very sorry for your loss....May God Rest your friend In Peace.....
😭Omg may she be surrounded by choirs from all her patients that she sang to❤🦋💐🎶and her soul rest in peaceful lullabies and favorite songs😔🙏
♥️
God bless this young nurse. You will absolutely be rewarded for this one day. Such compassion. God puts Angels in certain places for specific reasons. I think it’s obvious why this Angel is where she is. 😇
Singing there favourite song whilst passing slowly away is the most beautiful thing someone can ever do for them ☺️👼🏼
She is nurse, same time she is kind hearted human being, she really care inner engineering emotion of this universe of living beings...I love her very much....
I’m crying this makes me so proud of the human race.
This made me cry the instant I started watching it, I feel bad for that lady’s family. And the nurse was amazing! Woah 😪
it got me 3 seconds in.
I didn't see any family there, sadly
@@S2daUZ maybe there were on their way. We don't know the whole story. But, if they were not coming, this Nurse, kind young lady, made her FEEL as she left this earth. It must have touched her so.
Amazing this young girl to do this ❤️❤️❤️ heart of gold carnt stop crying 😢 It’s sad we have lose ppl in our lives xxxx
I was talking with an old neighbor of ours Kenneth and he said that girl went above and beyond her Duty as a nurse to sing to that really sweet lady that was passing away and he started crying when he showed me the video
I'm not a nurse but I remember holding my grandma's hands until she took her last breath. 💔
Me too, her hands were cold and i was so scared, but looking back i know she felt my hand during her last moments and its worth itttt
Brave r. Nans r loking down on us fro.. Heaven
My mom is a nurse and I saw her singing that song to a lot of patients like this and I was crying
I wish the nurses at the nursing home, where my mom struggled for almost 2 years with moderate advancing dementia following strokes, would have been so tender and caring as these kind nurses were. God bless those who are tender and loving to the elderly and dying. My wife is a mental health clinician in nursing homes and it is hard on her but she does the Lord’s work.
🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
I worked at a skilled care and believe me it's not that we don't care we simply don't have the time to act upon our beliefs for 35 patients we barely had time to pass out meds. And do what we could we tried very hard but at the end it didnt make a difference
As a former nurse myself this really moved me. we just get SO busy sometimes... and to sit and take the time to comfort a dying patient like that and just leave all your paperwork and others things aside, is such a beautiful gift.
I wish Nurses have always the time and space to take the time for these things. They are more important than anything else. For the Patient and the nurses 👍
As a nurse for nearly 30 years (20 in hospice), I am so proud of the nurses in this video. The love was palpable.
All the technical skills and knowledge in the world amount to nothing if you cannot be present when what a patient really needs is your emotional support. Primum non nocere.
When she started singing with the nurse, I lost it
That nurse is amazing
Why nurses are heroes! So much compassion. You can feel it!
Beautiful Humans. Thanks for existing ❤.
What a gift it would be to have a beautiful soul like that young nurse singing to me as I my mortal life slowly ebbed away. Gratitude to God and those who put such love into that caregiver's heart.
This is the best part of our job, being able to give comfort when they really need it. The connections we make last forever. It's why we go every day.
Bawled my eyes out watching this 😭😭😭
May she RIP 🙏
She is definitively an angel, she truly loves what she does. God bless her for making her patient's last minutes very happy. 😪💔🙏
My wife it's an ER nurse and I can always tell when it's been a rough night. Nurses are very special people. They were there on the day when we first arived, and they are so often the last one we will see when we depart. God bless nurses.
I love how they treat her like family 💜💜👏
So beautiful to see such love and care. No rubber gloves, skin on skin contact, and so much compassion. I can't stop the tears. God bless our nurses.
An angel came dowm from heaven to get this woman...
Whoever the nurse is we need more of them to care so deeply for their patients 😇🥺❤️
I think this is typical of the caring of many of the nurses I have known over the decades.
Can you send me a
Years back I was living in my car. I had two friends, and one was distancing themselves from me. I ended up in the hospital to get my appendix removed.
One nurse noticed I had no visitors the entire time and kept asking me about my life. I finally told her I was homeless. I remember her doing everything she could to help me, even trying to get me an extra night in the hospital.
When I finally had to leave she had gone to the nurses station and filled a bag up with snacks and drinks from it, despite that it wasn't allowed. She was clearly upset when I left. At a dark and lonely time in my life seeing a stranger care like that really helped.
I hunted down a "how was your stay" form and made sure she got the recognition she deserved.
hey, who's cutting the onions? This is so sweet.
I think shes an angle from god she is amazing she is the lovely person
Second that. Takes one to know one. God bless
It isn't angle, it's angel
She's an acute angle.
I live in the Netherlands ans i have tears in my eyes. There are people like that nurse who are born to care about others. Life does not mather about money and have it all! life is about love. people may think they are blessed to be rich and important. But this nurse has wath can save the world and that is love!
You found the words about the wonderfull Nurse.
Greetings from Munich, Germany🤗🤗🤗
@@paulgoeretz1 Thank you Paul, you must be a good person. Wish you well! I love Munich and German people!
Yes it’s so true. Wishing you well from Australia.
My grandmother was laid to rest by this song. I appreciate it genuinely.
This is a nurse who truly cares
Angel in the form of nurse❤

@@tawanathompson2594 dancing in the sky
To all the nurses out there ..you know who you are . THANKYOU.
I beat cancer....lived in the hospital for 6 months....my nurses were great....still appreciate everything they did for me.
Even a blind person could see how beautiful these women are! We NEED more healthcare workers like them. From my heart to yours...Thank you!!!
Who else started tearing up 😥
This made me cry so much as I remembered witnessing my mother pass away on Tuesday 02-05-2017 at 12:45 am ❤️❤️❤️ God bless these nurses. This just shows there are still loving people that exist xxx
We all need to be like these women.. God Blessed Them!!!
That nurse is a angel so sad 💔💔🇮🇪☘️
I started crying right as this turned on
No, the elderly lady is the angel in this situation people focus to much on the people round about someone and forget about the one dying, all comments saying the nurse is an angel when really it’s the lady dying, she’s an angel 😇 xxxxx
I hope my boy will find a kind and lovely nurse like these..
Awwww that's sooo sweet what beautiful and loving ladies. She has such a beautiful voice.😥😘😇
Watching this and I'm thinking about all those lost to this covid 19 and other related illnesses. How sad it is to not be close enough to hold their hands. God Bless all those who are so busy trying to sustain people's lives. You are all heroes. Thank you
I love this video!!!!! I miss my mamà so much......GOD BLESS THESE NURSES!!!!!
Hello how are you doing 😊😊👋
I'm a full time caregiver for my mom who is 95 and has dementia. If my mom was in the hospital, I would pray that she had nurses as sweet and loving as this one. I have the hugest lump in my throat right now.
Hello how are you doing 😊☺️😊
Who else cried when they watched this I did
My mom was a geriatric nurse and that nurse with her singing with her patient needs to be on a training video to all nurses because that's what you want to become when you become a nurse just like her
I only hope and pray that when my time comes I have someone like this holding my hand and singing.
broke my heat love this nurse for doing this
She has just gone above and beyond am speechless I just want to cuddle her so much and say thank you how wonderful and caring she is ❤️
Yes I feel the same way. I want to say thank you and give them both a big hug.
Not enough people like her in the world
Nurses are our angels. Our carers.our watchers. We love you. 💘
The definition of LOVE! What a great nurse she is.
This patient soul will surely rest in peace thanks to this angel may god protect her and keep her safe
