- The most SURREAL once in a life time moments in my life. I believe nothing wants to die alone. Including this old dolphin. He came to me and literally took his last breath in my arms. A moment I shall never forget!!!! ❤️🐬
Who ever that person was that held that dolphin at the end you are an angel here on earth. You really did a wonderful thing for that dolphin.
It was me mate. I sort of feel like I was the blessed one. An incredible experience ❤️
@@ruxtonbruce Don't take this wrong, I love you!! That was beautiful, she knew you were there for her. No living thing should leave this world alone..I can't stop crying. Thank you for posting.
@@ruxtonbruce All life wants to live. You are blessed to have comforted that beautiful creature!
@@ruxtonbruce Sir you could not find him help? What might have caused his death? How did you come across him? and where was the rest of the pod. They are social like us. Im sorry i could not finish watching your vid as an hsp it would have sent me into a panic and gave me a would of sadness. I have lost too many much loved people and creature in my life. I was about 23 when i was there to help my grandpa say goodbye to my grandma. 6 months short of 60 years. I had been leaning over with my head on her chest hugging her and i felt her chest stop rising. I called for help and called my Grandpa back in the room from the hall, it broke my heart to see him in complete denial.He did not want to touch her. I told him she needed him and to help ease her cross and i held his hand to hers. To this day i do not know where i found it in me to take charge like that when i was the youngest family member there. I just felt like she need to hold him as she left. Not the best memory in my life. I have also brought a few creature, back to life and those were the most rewarding moments for me. one was a baby squirrel born to my fav back yard squirrel, i have been hand feeding for almost 4 years. There was a freak spring freezing rain storm that destroyed her nest and she was frantically trying to stuff them in the bird house when we saw what happened in the morning. Im grateful she chose to have her nest close to my home that time, as she had 6 babies that year. And we always end up geting one out of trouble when they first start wandering around. We let her be for a bit but then ravens started making a huge amount of noise. So i went to walk around and found 2 little ones on the ground appearing to be dead. They were still too young and weak to climb wet icy fence boards to follow mom. Boo/mom saw us and ran over to the one gray baby and started licking him. We thought it was her goodbye when she may have just been trying to get our attention. Then turned and looked at us and ran off to tend to her other 4. As she left we noticed one tiny finger tried to curl up. Both realized he was still alive but maybe only for moments. We took both inside and wrapped then in warm towels and rubbed them down vigorously, and i blew in his face. We did this for about almost 20 mins before the one i had slowly opened his mouth and let out this tiny mournful peep. Sadly too late for the tiny girl but peep was a fighter. After he started coming around we placed him in our old rabbit cage still wrapped in a warn towel along with a warmed up wheat bag. at one point he tried to sit up and noticed there was food beside him and he attempted to eat. It took 6 hours for him to be fully back, but when he did it was it was just sudden He realized where he was and he was not happy. Screaming down the house. We had hoped to keep him in over night to give boo and chance to rebuild her shelter. But nope baby peep wanted mom. So we put the cage to the door and called her over for her peanut and he lunged out of the cage. The greeting they gave each other brought tears. I wished i had thought to record any of it. He went out looking in much better shape than the other 4 sibs still looking wet and miserable. It was nice to watch him grow and thrive over the summer. Sorry for my ramble and i want to say i am grateful for people like you, who have a heart of gold for other living creatures. And thank you for helping the passing.
@@shecat1964 Hello, and thank you for your stories of Peep and your Grandma. Your Grandma story hits home because it's just over a year that I held my Mom's hand as she left this world. Probably the worst day of my life yet so grateful I was there.
As for the dolphin, you can see how emaciated it is, how tattered the fins and flippers. It was just time, like it was for your Grandma and my Mom.
What a privilege for you to be able to see that amazing creature off. To know that he didn't have to die alone because you were willing to be there to comfort him in his passing. Just watching it turned me into a blubbering mess. I can only imagine how emotional it would have been to be there with him.
An indescribable feeling. That feeling lasted many weeks. I was so glad I could be there for him. 😊😊😊
You will always have this memory in your heart. To give any creature one last comfort is the greatest gift. He had a moment of peace and felt his first hug. I am glad that you were there for him.
Judging by all those scars, it looked like this guy lived a long and exciting life. I'm glad that he had a friend to be with him during his final moments.
Every being breathes a last breath in the end. Remembering this, it’s essential that we be kind to the living.
And to the dying ❤️
To everyone! 😉
@@Drumguysd1 no definitely not
Dolphins know surfers mean no harm to them. I'm sure this one found some sort of peace before it passed away in a non-threatening environment. Thank you for sharing this with us.
OMG… Tears rolling down my cheeks. I was by my dad’s side when he took his last breath. Nothing’s harder than watching a man or beast die while you can do nothing. Hugs don’t work, kind words don’t work, medical science has gone as far as it can go. It’s just sad.
You summed it up perfectly. I was with my dad when he took his last breath as well. The only thing that brings me comfort is that he was in at home surrounded by so much family and love. It also brings me comfort knowing this beautiful dolphin spent his last moments with someone showing kindness and love.
At 1:19 look at the SAD but GRATEFUL look from the Dolphin as the man approaches him!!....A sad but beautiful moment that we all must face some day!!......I know I will die alone and pray for the strength to have a good death without fear of it!!....maybe i'll get lucky like this dolphin and someone will be there for my last breath as well??...To the diver who comforted this Dolphin in his final moments, well done mate!!
You can live well knowing you might probably be one of the few or only people to have experienced this. What a great thing that this dolphin had someone during their last moments ;-;
You were honored, sir! I am a nurse and you will never forget. Thank you for sharing this.
Okay, this really got me. It was so reminiscent of me holding each pet I've had as they faded. That moment when 'nothing else in the world matters'. Tears... are for the strong. 😢💕
I know what you mean @Echos Paw... I've lived such moments, too. So heartbreaking, yet some of them were peaceful...
Same. 😢
OMG😍 I'm Beyond Happy to Finally see/hear someone else believes that Tears are Not a Weakness, nor some Evil Disease, but an acknowledgement of Strength in so many ways beyond just physical! Tears are Cleansing for the Soul; as well as a Testament to a persons Strength of Heart, of Character, of Empathy, of Humanity!
One of the Strongest person I'd Ever known (my Grandma) once told me, when I was Bawling my 8yr old eyes out after we had to let my lifelong canine companion cross the Rainbow Bridge, that my tears weren't ever something to be embarrassed or ashamed of, but something to be proud of because it meant that I had a heart that could overflow with love and compassion & to never loose that strength. She was also known to say that "it seems like tears (& thus emotions) are becoming like the appendix, unappreciated & unwanted for what they did for our survival, until they too will become obsolete soon." Granted that was usually out in public, quite loudly, & basically Anywhere, if she ever heard someone telling a crying kid 'Not to Cry because....' which I didn't fully appreciate until I was much older, since my sister and I were usually trying to Not turn Lobster Red and just Die of Embarrassment. Ohhh good times! I ended up with sooo much of her outgoing & blunt personality it's a miracle I'm even allowed in public with my own kids and family! I miss your insane antics & neverending wisdom Gram! 💗
You have honored him so beautifully, there & here (thank you for sharing)love, it is the only thing that matters
Thank you so much for staying with him until the end. The compassion you showed was sweet and uplifting.
That's certainly a once in a lifetime experience and definitely one to make you think about the connection between everything that lives on this planet I have seen other videos of animals that would usually never approach humans basically come and ask people for help when their newborns are in danger or stuck in something I've seen whales approach divers and ask them to get the fishing line that they got tangled up in off of them and its surreal how they will just sit still and allow the person to do whatever is necessary to help them but the experience that you had with that dolphin is definitely something to remember and I personally believe it proves that animals have feelings and souls also
We will all take our last breath someday. May your passing to oblivion be a gentle one.
I'm crying this touched deep into my soul. So glad you were there so he didn't die alone.😭
That is such an honor when any living thing; human or otherwise, is willing to be comforted at their end. I worked nearly 20 years in subacute care. I sat many times next to the bed & held the hand of someone who's family were gone or out of State. Done the same with my own Mother & my last 2 dogs. Honestly, I felt more peace with those passings than I ever had not being present.
This so touching! Tears flowing through my eyes.
The cycle of life goes on whether we want it to or not . It was so humbling to know that you were this dolphins possibly first and remarkably , its last interaction with anything on this earth .
This made me cry🥺 what a beautiful dolphin! you are caring and compassionate 💕
Bless you for being there for the beautiful dolphin!! Compassion and patience for an animal that needed you! WOW is all I can say!!!
Beautiful thing you did by comforting one of God's creatures in his final moments of life. 🙏❤☝️
Nothing should die alone, bless you
What a beautiful touching thing to do for such a graceful animal! So glad they didn’t go alone and had someone who showed great compassion with them at the end 😢😢
You hung out with this dolphin often? I have a similar situation happening up on Vancouver Island in the Cowichan Valley, Canada with a really old Roosevelt elk named Mr.Bob...he comes to our house daily to see his friend (house owner) that we rent from...it'll be a sad time when that day comes...Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Cheers, Jerbs
They day my husband and elder k9 partner died 2 hours apart..I went out to do the best I could by "old Henry. His teeth were worn smooth, had been a few years and he started coming up to duck feeder to eat. I would boil water, cornmeal, oats and sorghum molasses and feed him 2x a day. He had been hit by a car and I drug him off into our pasture to give him privacy and dignity. Later, he was still alive and had drank the bowl of water and ate the feed I left him since I didn't want to just leave him. I figured he would have died and the state never showed to get him. So the next few days I trudged out to feed and water him. By the end of week, he got up and went off. So, to my surprise I found him wobbly but eating duck food. The pulling him out of road was only time I touched him in the following 7 years but he starter coming to feeder and looking for me if it wasn't full enough he could eat out of top by flipping lid. He had weird light brown eyes and a nice 8 pt rack the first year and it got bigger for 3 years. Well, when the ice storm hit Texas and they cut power to about 85% of rural customers, I had no heat and no power for well to get water and the average high was -8° for about 3 weeks. I had to watch poor Henry starve because I had no way to heat water or get water. It was brutal! Birds froze on branches n or fell out of sky dead. My elderly k9 died despite we had blankets, it was just too cold for a dog over 20. And, 2 hours later my husband collapsed and died from cold. Several elderly neighbors also that day..that I know of. I went out to see poor Henry and was going to tell him that my husband and dog were dead, and again I was so so sorry I couldn't help him. I'd advised state that he needed to be picked up and was told to end his suffering. I was going to but was already crying so hard . I set down and Henry just layer his head on my knees and sighed..Then for a second, I saw his tongue and it gently touched my pinky. His eyes looked up and directly at me,a long intense stare directly at me..then he just dropped his head on me, closed his eyes and I realized he wasn't breathing. I felt for his heart, and he was still. I set and cried like that and realized, in those years, I was fortunate to see him survive the car and sire many fawns and make the day better by sharing coffee as he ate..I deeply miss all 3 and its been a year. The pain is still as great and I still cry every day..but, all three are nit suffering and would not have wished any pain on me, just the joy of life shared peacefully. I can still see those beautiful eyes in myY fitfull dreams and somehow I hope all 3 are in some warm meadow with the soft earth , bees buzzing over wildflowers and a gentle understanding that I still love and miss all of them for just being a very happy part of my life..
@@jamesconner8374
How sad for you to lose all 3 😔
I send you hugs from far far away and hope your days will be brighter with time when the wounds in your heart starts to heal …
@@jamesconner8374 That was a beautiful and sad story, thank you for telling us about it❤️
@@jamesconner8374 sending hugs. I lost a chihuahua to a house fire and my husband to heart failure within a year of each other. It is devastating 😢 💔
Possibly one of the rarest events in the world, and your touch is the last thing, this beautiful soul felt.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us 🙏🏻💗
Dolphins and orcas are actually really scary ocean predators, I’m glad you got to be there for him though, no one should have to pass alone
Scary for other marine life. They are incredibly intelligent and are pretty benevolent towards humans
Thank you for being there for him 🐬💔😭
For me ; it was my dog , my shadow , Felix the tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who died in my arms last September.
30 seconds before he looked at me wagging his tail, he was very tired, he hadn't wanted to take his medication for his Myocarditis for two days and when I took him in my arms to bring him in so he wouldn't take a cold he's gone, it still hurts me to tell you about it but it makes me feel good.
This dophin, in the absence of his congeners with him, went to see the species closest to him, the species he has seen throughout his long life as a great dophin, which may be; rubbed shoulders with them closely during his long existence traveling the oceans, he may have rubbed shoulders with Cousteau in the world of silence this dophin, he played in front of the bows of our ships, they know instinctively and by communication between them that humans are mammals like them, mostly nice and visibly happy to see them, the happiness you felt and this gift, all these emotions he felt without you even touching him, by the electric currents that our body emits .
He went to see one of his closest peers, even if they speak a funny language and can't breathe underwater or have funny things on their backs that make bubbles; you , us .
He can live as long as we do, up to 90 years, so he was between 50 and 90 years old, that's the average life expectancy.
It's a beautiful gift, he felt affection and love before going to heaven.
P.S : Everyone has their own beliefs, but they'll be there to help you through, your last day here , I think.
That poor dolphin is SEVERELY emaciated and eye indicates unhealthy. Usually the pod (or 1+ other dolphins) surrounds a dying member and help keep it towards the surface to breathe until "the end" like hospice care.
Yeah, I was wondering where it's pod was...
O bless ya for staying with him till the end.......
Man at least it didn't die alone. Right on bro
God bless you Sir you are am earth angel. I can’t see for tears. ❤️❤️❤️🏴
R.I.P BEAUTIFUL DOLPHIN 🐬 swim and splash happily in Heaven
I'm watching this 2 hours before going to work and have not even slept yet,but I think for this short 2 hours I can't after watching this vid.
I think this is one of the most special things I’ve ever seen.. I’m very active in oceanic conservation and advocating for cetaceans, this absolutely touched my heart. What a privilege.. if I could shake your hand, I would. What a wonderful and comforting last earthly experience he had.. 💙
You & the dolphin have been blessed!
What an amazing experience that must have been!
Was it hard to let him go after you realized he had died? Such a surreal moment.
Yeah it was. Felt weird just to let go but I knew I had to. He sunk straight down and was one with the ocean again 😞
Remarkable. What a moment for you.
Awwww. And you probably are so right bless his soul and yours youll meet again helbe your forever angel friend. GOD SPEED. 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😇😇😇😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
And this is the basis of compassion and love...you, dear person are surely the definition of a noble human being♥️ making the crossover might be so hard...at least u were there to comfort the beautiful creature. Dolphins are the dogs of the sea. I love you all🙌🏻😭♥️
This was heartbreaking to watch, I’m quite literally in tears. Thank you for staying with him. ♡︎♡︎
Respect.❇💜❇
😢 Thanks for being there.
This so sweet I'm so glad he was able to know that he wasn't going to be alone when he died the feeling from that must've been so amazing but sad at the same time. I lost my rabbit last year. she had gotten sick and I had checked on her earlier the day she passed and found her laying in her favorite place with her favorite toys she looked so peaceful so I know she wasn't in distress when she passed but to have had her for two years it still hits me hard and the fact my youngest rabbit saw her take her last breath. His reaction just killed me he was so confused at first but then realized she wasn't coming back. I'm glad you were there for the dolphin...♥️🐬
I wish I could've said the same thing with my puppy he was in distress a day and me and my brother didn't knew that because it was the first time we ever had pups. I didn't knew it did die until i realise he wasn't responding to his sibling's kicks so I went to move him to nurse and when I saw that life less head I told my brother to get my father but it was to late he was already gone and my brother had to bury him in the back by himself because I was to weak to even hold the shovel. Sometimes you wish you can turn back time and prevent what happened to expand their lives.
@@ganymede6535 I'm sorry for your lose
@@firewolfeena_theanimallover thanks and I am sorry for your loss too
Two beautiful souls ❤️
Imagine the adventures old Flipper has been on he's had a great life don't be sad .
It's so beautiful, but heartbreaking 😔
Wow, how sad and good, to. Yes nobody wants to die alone. Amazing animals, I never would have dreamed that they can stop breathing.
A blessing he was able to die old and not at the hands of man or the mouth of a beast. A bigger blessing to die peacefully in the arms of a friend ! God bless you, and thank you for sharing this. Now I must go find some Kleenex!
PS: Lovely music in the background, may I ask the name of it?
Oh my heart😭
This was beautifully touching. Thank you for sharing..💕
That is one of the saddest and moving things I have ever seen. At the same time it was sort of uplifting to know that beautiful wild creature did not die alone, and had companionship at the end.
I know that this an experience you will never forget.
Poor dolphin 😔
WOW ! No words.. Im so happy you were there for the Dolphin. Truly once in a lifetime experience.
Just beautiful.
... that was one old dolphin. Thank You sir for being there 🐬
This was truly something. The look in the sweetest wise eyes of this beautiful guy. Oh my heart, I am crying because you can literally feel the end and the comfort n kindness yet finality if it all. How strong these emotions are from the other side of the screen. I can only imagine being there. God bless you for holding him as he took that last breath. Now he can swim free in paradise. 💞🐬🤲
Wow, awesome. Always loved Dolphins, been in my life for years on the west coast of Florida and they always have that smile on their faces; like the Creator purposely made them like that to match their friendly loving personality. They are so smart and very much like loving Humans in their own form, no doubt he/she knew the energy of your own Heart Frequency; and your kindness and love being there by its side. The power of the heart and love frequency needs no words. Thank you for the video as the song and images were calming for such an ending, even though the waves looked intense. Love, peace and freedom to All Lifeforms. Love Chris
Ps. Anyone know why the Dolphin was alone? Usually they all help the babies after being born and are a true family unit, seems a bit off that they would not have been there til the very end.
This is so pure. I’m crying
"For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that...We all inhabit this small planet...We all breath the same air...We all cherish our Children' future...And we are all mortal."
I just hope when my time comes somebody is kind enough to bring in a dolphin and I just know everything will be fine. I too cannot stop crying 😂
What an awesome sad moment! Thats the kindest thing I have seen, thank you for sharing!
Classy video giving dignity to an end of life. Good job.
Extraordinary film footage👍👍
You were a Angel to that beautiful mamal God put you there at that moment for a reason
Awww.......Sweet baby dolphin! Talk about being at the right place at the right time!!
Thank you for being with this sweet baby!! God bless you ❤💔🐬
That's so sad😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
This is very moving. What an experience.
Thank you for giving that beautiful animal the comfort, love, kindness and safety, to pass away without fear. You are an amazing person and the World needs more people like you in it. We all need to remember, all living things needs our kindness, compassion and love.
POWERFUL!
Would we say the dolphin was sick...or was it the aging out of it's life? Also, where are the other dolphins. Are they not usually social?
Wow, this made me cry in the first ten seconds.
dolphin are one mammal that can choose to stop breathing...
I'm guessing, like many animals, he left the pod to spare his family the pain of his death. I know dogs and cats tend to walk away from their homes to spare their owners the pain of their deaths.
Ive watched this maybe half dozen times n still cry....
You touched it and it decided to have one last play with a human. Into the arms of the gods❤️
Very heartfelt. I had a Siberian Husky that passed I was 17 now 54. I stayed with him for 2 days. I still have his ashes. I get choked up whenever I see a husky.
At least he finally got to live out his final moments in peace. Nice for you to let him know he wasn’t alone
Is the song by Sigur Ros? Beautiful notes to accompany the living to the next world…
Yep. You got it in one. Sigur Ros. Awesome band 😊👍
do you know what song it is?
great stuff but where is the video of it taking its last breath cause all I seen was you go next to it and touch it?
Thank you for caring so much about the dolphin! I bet he was grateful to you as well!
This came at the right time for me. Thank you.
Anyone with a soul that see's this thanks you.
This is the prime example of a good person ☺️
Extremely emotive ... Cherish !!
Good for Mr. Whitey.
What a gift. For both of you.
Ok. You’re a jerk🥺😢😭 lol every time I see people being kind to animals giving them an extra whatever it is, another chance or a final breath, but not being alone, I just lose it! Because this world needs more of what we see here!✝️
Reason this is so close to my heart, I was with my dog Kudo while he took his last breath. His eyes, I was the last thing he saw. I was there while he left us. That was in 2009. To this day, when I think about Kudo, it brings a tear or two. Being alone is the worst thing that can happen to a living creature at there last moments. Even now I have tears down my cheek, lots of joyous memories.
Why is this its “last breath”? I don’t think there is much indication the dolphin is dying.
It was a pretty good indication when he had a massive death shutter in my arms let out one last breath and sank like a stone.
You say that’s what happen the video doesn’t indicate that sorry Sir I’m not sold like everyone else. There’s no real proof or evidence this creation took its last breath.
@@micahharris totally fine by me mate. I really don’t care if people believe me or not. I was there. It happened to me. Your negative comment will NEVER take that experience away from me.
@@micahharris you behavior is annoying.
The best part i took from this was the fact that you being there seemed to bring em back for a little bit. Did a dive and all. Last moments. That day, hours, minutes, seconds. The time it had left was alright.
Beautiful moment
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.... It's so poetic and beautiful. A reminder to us all that we can still be loved and return love, even at our last breath.
And here was me thinking your title was probably clickbait 😢 Damn- poor thing had already been shredded by sharks who'd probably sensed its weakness. What a moment.
Is there any context for this vid? How do we know the dolphin was sick or ill or old and passed on...
The dolphin certainly looks old, emaciated and unwell... But it's actual death is not shown in the video... The uploader says in comments that the dolphin died in his arms and "sank like a stone" - but, the video doesn't show that. It's just cut off randomly whilst the dolphin is in his arms...
What was wrong with the dolphin - do you know why he died?
What a kind and humane gesture.
Judging by the scars on its tail and flippers, it was probably rather old. I can’t help but wonder where its pod was though, usually they’d stay with a dying member.
OMG!! Does everyone ELSE have tears in their eyes?! Asking for a friend! ;) IDK you, sir, but I canNOT tell you how deeply it touched my heart that you HELD HIM and did NOT let him DIE ALONE!! That is what REALLY choked me up!! Because, I swear on ALL THAT'S HOLY, when you approached him, I could see a look of relief & comfort, even gratitude & love, came across that dolphin's face!! It looked as if he was SMILING at you when you did that! Like he was saying THANK YOU!! :( I've seen vids of animals being killed by predators or something, but this is the FIRST TIME that I'm seeing one die a CALM, PEACEFUL, SERENE, NATURAL DEATH!! And, it ripped my heart out!! Thank you SOOOOO much for SHARING this intimate, personal & amazing moment/experience with US!!
I know how you feel. Was the most amazing experience. So glad I could be there for this beautiful animal. I’ll never forget it
He knew it was his time and came to you
Durn that's sad.
