I'm slowly dying from secondary metastatic squamous cell carcinoma from previous vulvar cancer. It's in my lymph nodes and just spread to my lung. I'm looking forward to watching this . Thank you for sharing.
Too, way too many people dying from all cancers. I personally don't understand. Medina needs to get on this multi-faceted disease pronto. This is 2024. There is no sense on such a ver high death death rate from cancer. NONE!
I'm was 11 yes old when this was filmed,about the same age as those boys. I'm now 61yrs old with stage 4 lung cancer(recurrent from original breast cancer) probably a few more months to live. I'm at peace. Put my affairs in order. My kids and grandkids all grown up. Asked my late husband to come get me when it's my turn to go 🙏❤
Bless your heart. You have everything sorted to make your passing, as easy on those left behind, as possible. That's courageous. That's love. I wish you peace dear lady xx❤
Harriet was the cancer in his life, all she was worried about was self preservation and her husband dying quickly so she could remarry. What a horrible person.
I don't think she meant what she said it's really hard to know you're gonna be without your loved one. Anger is a very real part of the dying process for family members. My mother died from cancer & I remember my dad saying I wish she would just go. It's scary, life changing & unending pain. I have lost both parents & a son & you do want them to pass & then you get that guilt for even thinking it. Jesus did save my family just not the way I wanted & that is also hard to understand. The difference in these people was the faith & it makes death a lot easier. RIP to you all.
At the very beginning and the very end of their story, did you not see her start laughing for no reason and, both times, the laughter leading to uncontrollable tears? It’s very easy to judge her. What’s not easy is watching your beloved spouse slowly die. He is dying and all she can do is sit next to him and watch it happen.
Modern women, FEMINISTS like her hate all white men….unless they can get money or kids out of them for child support or welfare. Just look at Hillary Clinton and what she still willingly puts up with to clutch onto Bill’s “prestige”. Bitch.
The Reverend in the 3rd story, I’m so glad he had his wife and family and had a good life after being a lonely foster child. What a sweet man and wife. He sure does love his family. He has such a good attitude and I’m glad he is enjoying the days he has. RIP sweet man. ❤
@@ChristinaGainer-p8e Please! She wanted to be rid of him and get a new man to take those brats in hand. Bet she got him apple pie when he wanted cherry on purpose, too.
10:50 Sally’s mother knows what her daughter needs- to contribute. When Sally asked if she could rinse the dishes, her mother said no. I could see the pain in her eyes. Then her mother turns around and says “You can dry them!”, and Sally lights up. It may seem like an insignificant moment, but those small things make a big difference. That mother not only loves her daughter, she truly knows her daughter. Beautiful.
The wife of that dying young man was so horrible; just wanting him to hurry up and die. She could have given her boys so much by making beautiful memories with their father, giving them an example of love and selflessness instead of selfishness and narcissism. What a sad and lonely way he had to leave this earth, knowing that his wife was so eager for him to die and do it quickly. She made me truly sick. If she’s still alive (and she could be an old lady now) she would be deserving of a lonely regretful old age.
You're opinion is based on today's world. Women back then had more to face as a widow with children than today. She was probably scared to death of being alone.
@@emepleez obviously she was scared of being alone, but her attitude was still horrendous and only could cause harm. My mom was a single mother in the seventies and thank God, she didn’t have the attitude that she just had to hurry up and get hooked up with some guy (any guy) so she wouldn’t have to raise us alone. She did in fact raise us on her own and it was, no doubt, a struggle.
@@emepleezI agree. I think she was terrified of the whole idea of cancer, death and being alone with 2 sons. Her random laughter was because she couldn't cope with the fear.
I am lost for words at the behaviour of the second woman. Self centered, selfishness and narcissistic doesnt come close to describing what I feel about her. Her husband is dying and all she can do is think about herself and how she is struggling with having 2 kids after he has gone. Speaking about meeting another man and remarrying when her husband is in the other room dying. She needs to be there for her husband show him care, love and support.
He certainly was an extraordinary man. I loved the way he said he has had the happiest moments of his life, since being diagnosed. He was surrounded by love and his unwavering faith kept him grounded. Truly remarkable❤
This was a great documentary. All 3 died with dignity and did their best to live out their last days. I wish in the second story he had more peace. I understand his wife was beyond afraid. But if you can’t have empathy for your dying spouse that speaks volumes about your character. What touched me the most was the mother in the first story and the wife in the third one. I can’t imagine the pain both women endured but they gave so much love. It made the process easier for their loved ones. This documentary reminded me that love is all that matters. A life well lived is one a person loves and is loved.
@@Mr.NettaizmysusSirNettaizmysus I agree..the whole family were so loving and completely involved in the Reverand's care especially towards the end of his life. They are exceptional people❤❤❤
I watch many of your uploads , but this one hits hard. I lost my 15 year old son 5 months ago, he fought a short but brutal battle with colorectal cancer. Gone much too soon. I sort of resent the comments judging the wife in the 2nd story. What many of you all dont understand, i pray you never do, is how HARD it is to watch someone you love actively dying. What may have come across as crass, uncaring, resentful is really a demonstration of her absolute fear. This was a different time , where women grew up, married, and had children. She couldnt accept the uncertainty of the illness or a future without the stability of a husband. I think we all at times are afraid of an uncertain future. The reverend in 3rd story is so similar to my son...They told him cancer was in liver.... and at least those docs were honest with Rev. Bryant and told him directly that there is no treatment available once it gets there... no one told me as directly as this. Im not sure it wouldve helped knowing, perhaps my child's doctors were just trying to give me something to hold onto...hope?...Hard to believe this is almost 50 years old documentary, and what a shame in that time , there havent been advancements made to help treat when its that far gone. Rest in Peace to all who have gone much too soon. Rest in Peace my sweet Cameren. Mom loves you foREVer
I think you’re wrong. Most folks want their love ones to be with them as long as possible. l know what it’s like to lose someone very dear to me. And true when the person becomes unconscious or goes into coma then maybe you hope for them to go quick. But that ladies spouse was still able to enjoy life and his children and she was pure poison, zero sense of humanity in her. She only wanted him to go quick so she could on with her life. She made her ill husband’s life horrible.
@@MarthaF6025 people handle things in their own way. I agree she couldve made better use of her husbands last days on earth. I think the fear took a firm grasp on her and she couldnt see past it. Wish we could ask her the reasoning behind her feelings and actions ... And maybe there were elements to this woman and her marriage that we werent made aware of in this documentary . 🤷🏼
Hola hello beautiful world God Almighty bless all ❤️sooo sorry for your pain and experience must be difficult loosing a son God Almighty bless you ❤️✨❤️thank u for your insight ✨❤️✨
The First Lady was so sweet. The wife in the second one,,,my heart hurts for her husband having to go through that in his last days. The gentleman in the third story was such an inspiration and his family was definitely a blessing.
I spent a year as only caregiver for my husband with pancreatic cancer. We were only married 3 months before he died but i stayed by his side even when we were not married. Yes its hard but i reminded myself what he was going through. This was her husband and all she thinks about is replacing him as soon as possible. Wow. Pathetic. And to think he loved her but her love was conditional. My heart hurts for him
That's not fair to her . She loved him I'm sure and taken a few minutes of video to say how someone has been all of the marriage isn't fair. Are you kidding me. None of you have heard of the spouse becoming angry and their emotions and behavior changes when the sick spouse has only so long to live 🤔 it happens everyday across the world especially with cancer patients and dementia and other diseases who don't have long to live. I'm surprised at some of you especially the real adults
@@jazzyjbutterfly4929and at the time this was recorded ladies were held down bc the man controlled every thing around the home most women were stuck at home caring for kids not like today I remember granny and my aunts sewing and assembling shoe leather at home for extra money bc it wasn't proper to work in some factories
She didn't love him. She didn't know how to. I lost my husband to brain cancer 24 years ago. Wild horses couldn't keep me from his side. I still love him as big as the world.
@latanafowler7136 That is not a woman, but a wicked witch, who prayed for her husband to die soon, to start a new life... Wicked with a face and two rude children like her. Hateful.
The 3rd story was my favorite. What a wonderful relationship the husband and wife had. You know they been through some hard times together, but they hung on tight and stayed together, I wish I could experience that, everyone leaves me when the going gets rough.😢
That second woman is mentally ill... the 2 young boys are already lost.... losing their Dad and a narcissistic Mother who has no compassion for them or her dying husband. He's actually the lucky one.... he won't be trapped in a miserable life with her.
Thank you for these stories. I have lost MANY loved ones to cancer and I myself am a 3 year survivor. I didn't think I would make it through, but I put my life in God's hands & felt peace with what I was going through. My savior got me to where I am today. My life isn't perfect, but grateful for each day.
the worst was as she told her husband it takes to long, and he said...what do you want me to do. I wanted to hug him. Hope she never found a man again.
The preacher and his family were Joy to see them together and helping him to be comfortable and happy. No one seemed to think he was a burden. May he R.I.P. What a beautiful family ❤
My dad said he was afraid of feeling like a burden when he had less than a year to live. We reassured him daily there was nowhere else we'd rather be, nothing else we'd rather be doing. He wasn't a burden. He was loved. My heart breaks for the husband in the second story. What a horrible way to die, surrounded by an angry, resentful, selfish wife & boys constantly acting out bc they had a dying father & a horrid mother...
This touched me so many ways and it doesn’t matter what color you are and where you come from this disease doesn’t care all the segments were beautiful, but I especially enjoyed the last one because he really expressed himself how happy he was and how he was so glad to meet his wife After going through being alone in life.😢🌸
When my body dies, I hopes it’s instantly or in my sleep 🙏 The spirit and soul live eternally. The only way to eternal life is through repentance and faith in Jesus 🕊
Yes, that's what we ALL would hope ...to go instantly in our sleep. BUT in the big majority of cases that's NOT how it turns out. And that's the Scary part to me. Not dying. But it's whole 'Process of Dying' that is frightening.
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217I agree. To me, death is not scary because you don't perceive anything, or heaven which also sounds good. It is the same as before we were born, but the process of dying has the potential to be bad, but no one wants that obviously.
Watching this Rev try & find his father's grave in that over grown back of the cemetery was just heartbreaking to me. I sincerely hope it's being taken care of now but I doubt it. This man has more faith than a lot of preachers I see now! RIP sir god will be calling you soon. ❤😢
No words for the insane, wife in the 2nd one. Feel more sorry for the two boys being left with her, seriously unstable. Would love to know where they all are now,
I was saying the same thing,not nice to him at all,just worried about being a single parent. I was a single parent and did just fine,do sorry for the dad had to deal with dying and a wife with attitude.
The first story of Sally, what a lovely lady. And her mother was so loving. I loved that Sally had such a wonderful and realistic attitude. Was so touching when she was in physical therapy and was so sweet to the elderly gentleman and saying how beautiful he was. RIP Sally ❤
Yes, she had a wonderful inner light that shone brightly. I also felt the same from her mother, the gentleness and beautiful love between them was truly special. Sally died at peace with life in the loving care of her mother who must have been heartbroken. Neither of them ever complained. RIP Sally - and possibly her dear mother as this film is quite old.
I lost my mom to metastatic throat cancer in 2021. The year leading up to her death, i learned more about her than the 45 previous years. My mom is the strongest person i have ever known. I miss her so much! ❤
I lost my mom to cancer as well and I miss her so so bad. I have so many regrets, she was always doing things for me and was just always there when I needed her. I'm ashamed I didn't do more for her. I sit here at my home waiting for a call from my Doctor, to tell me if I have Thyroid Cancer. How terrible it must have been for mama to have known her time was near.
With all the science and medicine, and constant knowledge for these people, no one should be going through this. I'm truly sorry for the ones that are, my heart goes up to you add another human being. 🕊️💜🕊️
Typical narcissist. All about them, their needs, are a victim, blames others. She's disgusting to worry about a new husband wow. Doctor handled it well...letting her know it's about her HUSBAND NOT HER. She looks so bored and disgusting talking to him, laughing wow. I almost thought was actors as so bizarre.
How selfish that second woman was! It's all about her, and the nerve of him getting cancer and messing up her plans! 😡 Imagine telling the doctor to hurry up and let him die rather than save him!! And the evil, maniacal laughter throughout...smh
One can only dream of living as well as the Rev and his family, to have that much love and to give it back to so many is truly a gift from God .. and now the Rev is living his next glorious life 🙏🙏🙏
That second woman is horrendous she didn't care if her husband was dead or alive that poor man 😮 there is some mean people in this world and she is one of them
Sally, how sweet, who flew away before her mother, leaving that poor woman alone, with a pain that no parent should have to suffer. Rev. Bryant, a wonderful person, always smiling, despite the pain. At the heartbreaking ceremony, all his parishioners were there to say goodbye to him, as he deserved. I absolutely didn't like poor Billy's wife, who prayed to speed up his end, so that he could remarry quickly, I understand that everyone reacts to pain in their own way, but that poor man must also have felt guilty, because he didn't die quickly? Disturbing woman, I have no words to justify her.
Heartbreaking lost my mother to cancer two years ago very traumatic thing to go through with someone specially the end...big pharma doesn't help they charge 48 grand for meds that cost 40 dollars to make to treat certain cancers and illness's... devastating greed.
That wife in the second story was a psychopath!! I felt so bad for her husband & two boys 😢😢I can't imagine having a wife or mother saying those awful things about your own father
Omg that second woman is something else. I couldn’t even believe the things she was saying. Honestly idk who was worse her or her kids? I can’t believe she is wanting to remarry again I mean dang lady your husband isn’t dead yet!! Then saying she just wished he would go now . If he has to go why not make it quick and over with. Omg she is absolutely horrible! I feel so sorry for her husband. Being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer literally dying needing his wife now more than ever and this is what he gets? A wife that just wants to have a new husband and for him to just hurry up and die😮.. telling the doctor she prayed his chemo didn’t work!! That doctor owed it to him to let him know how she was feeling about him. I’d divorce her ass and be like go get you another sucker hope he doesn’t get sick you be wanting him to die next! This woman is evil plain and simple!
@Blonderockchick I was shocked . I thought maybe I heard it wrong and she was the cancer patient and wanted to get it over with but I scrolled back and realized she was talking about her husband! Terrible woman. I hope Karma had caught up with her.
That 2nd lady didn't deserve the title "Wife"! I pray she got what she DID Deserve in life though! 🙏🏾 May all who suffered and lost the battle to cancer R.I.P. 🎗️🕊️🙏🏾

@@jazzyjbutterfly4929 I've experienced "losses" BOTH, dementia/Alzheimer's and cancer! I KNOW the actions/behaviors of The Victim of The Diseases FIRST HAND! THAT'S WHY "I SAID What I Said"! 10 Toes Down! P.E.R.I.O.D.‼️ Dealing with it isn't easy, but being SELFISH, is a WHOLE NOTHER BEAST!
I have met all sorts of people in my 67 years but this woman is above anything i ever encountered that poor man in his last days with that!!!!!!!! Evil woman jeez😢
I agree with you. She is vile. is worried about her boys going on drugs and alcohol. She would be the cause of it. She’s mad because the doctor won’t do something to harm him. That’s crazy and just pure evil. I feel so bad because that man had to pass away without a moment, peace
@skrrbaby •My good grief telling him hurry up that she beat the kids?I am sorry I pray that these kids don't have this Person in their life .I thought it was stress now I don't my brother has Cancer that's terminal two kids I would whack anyone that said anything so vindictive she prayed the Chemo would not work ???What kind of fucked up evil woman is that ?

That 2nd story is pathetic because of the wife. She's a self centered narcissist. I mean heaven forbid he doesn't hurry up and die so she can find some smuck to take care of her and the kids.
She would be in her late 80s by now if she is still around. It is obvious from the cars on the road that this was filmed in the early 70s. 1973 or 1974 since the newest cars I noticed were 73 models.
@@nicoledenning8090 Yeah, she looked a lot older because she was sick with the cancer. I had a feeling she wasn't that old though, considering her mother was taking care of her.
Extremely cold, highly rejecting and skin peelingly critical. I was younger than her when my late husband was dying of cancer and I *never* spoke to or treated my husband or kids like that. Despicable.
The first segment was so nostalgic for me. I was a nurse back in the days of caps and white dresses. Ambulances were not much more than glorified station wagons. The human touch seemed more noticeable then. I’m not saying technology is bad; we can save lives now that just 20 years ago had no hope. Were I to teach student nurses again I would emphasize that touch is so very important. Thank you for sharing this video.
You are absolutely right when you say that touch is so very important. I work in healthcare and can't begin to tell you, how much touch means to someone who is dying. So many people, especially the elderly aren't touched at all and once they feel your hand in theirs, they grip you like a vice, sometimes kiss your hand or bring it to their cheek - I can honestly say, that never fails to make me weep because touch is so fundamental to being human❤
@@SerenDipity64711 I was in Hospital with pneumonia last year, 10 days and while I knew I would get better, I was surrounded by gentleman dying from lung cancers… one night after hearing the doctor give the terrible news about one of the patients to him and his family , it got a bit to much and I was sobbing heavily for those guys. The nurse must have spotted me and came over to comfort me, a touch on the arm and she told me everything will be ok. I couldn’t tell her why I was so upset but seeing and feeling her love and care really touched me and I just felt overwhelmingly at ease. Nurses are amazing heroes!
My God the wife in the second story 😡 what a horrible person she is. Her poor husband is dying and all she is worried about is finding someone else to marry and not looking forward to raising two teenage boys. I hope she didn't find her second husband 😕
That's not fair to her . She loved him I'm sure and taken a few minutes of video to say how someone has been all of the marriage isn't fair. Are you kidding me.

@jazzyjbutterfly4929 ok, yes maybe you do make a point but i was more coming across about the fact that she wanted her husband to die faster so she could find another man to marry! I personally feel that was wrong of her to say out loud that's what doesn't make her look like a good wife!!
Wow, the second story, that wife thinks this is all about her and how his cancer is affecting her. She should be concerned about her husband, as he is the one with cancer. She should be cherishing every moment she has with him. So terrible this man had to pass away unloved by his wife. ❤ RIP. Wish you could have had a loving wife by your side.
That woman was so consumed with fear at being left alone with children that she couldn’t give her husband the love and care he deserved while going through this horrible disease. I wonder if she’s left with regrets.
I don't think she knows how to cope with this situation. Kinda like myself when i found out my father has colon cancer. That news literally left me emotionally unstable and I still am. I see how this stupid disease changed my dad and I hate that he's going through this and I cant do nothing about it to cure it. Its a terrible thing to cope with. But i sure as hell dont act like this woman though.
The wife in the 3rd story was an amazing , she showed so much support to her husband it was by the grace of god of why she was able to keep it together even though it was a very stressful time for all of the family 🙏🏽💪🏽
She was able to stand strong like the soldier she was because she took excellent care of her husband. She was still taking care of her family as well. She was beautiful throughout the entire transition.
Jesus wept……..that woman!! Back in the ‘80s my husband died of a brain tumour and left me with our two beautiful children then aged just 4 years, and 8 months. The 9 months he was ill were very hard for us both as you can imagine. If I had behaved like the woman in this documentary I would expect to be denied entrance to heaven…… where I fully expect to meet my late husband again. Those two handsome boys who looked so like their Dad, treated by her with no compassion at all! Please God they are having a better life now.
Rev bryants family was mirror image of us 7 kids losing our daddy to cancer 14 years ago, we all stayed by his bedside at home and comforted mom before and after..it was so hard losing the patriot of our family, life was never the same. Just lost mom 4 years ago and the family split up! Im wondering if these familys got closer or just couldnt deal with the loss, like my own family. If i could do it over and over Id ask god for the same parents. I miss them both. Its been hard.
Thank The Lord Jesus for that first elderly Mom caring for her daughter, and for the loving wife and family of the Rev. Thank God for their love and kindness to their sick family members.
This is a very old documentary and I can't imagine there was a great deal of counselling for the families or mental health services back then. We saw a psychologist speaking to the mother, but not the children. My mother had terminal cancer in 1978 and as children, I remember we never had any kind of help - physical or mental. You were just left to get on with it. The second family in the story were all in such emotional pain they took it out on each other. The oldest son was so angry, copying how his mother was treating everyone and their mother full of rage at the thought of being 'left' to bring up her sons, once her husband died. I would love to know how things worked out for them all. It was really difficult to be a fly on the wall looking at the family's emotional decline.
I lost my father to cancer in 2006 when I was 6 years old, he never wanted to leave but he knew his time was unfortunately coming up. His last words were "a lady in white is coming to take him home" and I knew at that moment he was letting us know he was okay and that he's going home to be with the Lord. I want anyone to know who has a loved one fighting this battle with cancer is to be strong, and if it's becoming to apparent that it's coming to the end that there's more and another journey after this life, a life with the Lord and his presence is like no other for there's no pain, no suffering, only Love
The black church, they really take care of you. They feel your soul, your sorrow they make meals, send people to assist the family. I’m in 😭. Is this because I am a recent widow and miss my church.

@@jazzyjbutterfly4929Girl first of all your poorly written essay is 🗑️. Either you’re that diabolical disgusting woman or your spirit is vile just like hers. She is a jezebel w/guttersnipe tendencies.
That second woman what an awful miserable lady! he was such a handsome guy so so sad she should of made his last years or months so amazing and full of lovely memories with thier children but instead she was miserable and resentful to him and saying to the doctor you can’t keep pre longing this ! Lady they were keeping your husband alive that is their job they are doctors he isn’t a dog that can just be put to sleep and to talk about getting another man while he isn’t even dead yet what a horrible sick woman
I remember watching this in my psych 101 class almost 35 years ago in college. I remember feeling horrified watching the wife be so cruel and mean to her husband. As I began watching it again i thought, “I’m in such a different place now in my life. Maybe it will make more sense to me now.” Nope. In fact, I feel even more contempt for her. She had a good life. He provided well for her. He was the one suffering with cancer. Yet, she made it all about her. I would have loved to have seen a follow up with her. I hope those 2 sweet boys didn’t have to suffer living with her. She needed to be seen by a psychiatrist. It’s all about her when he is the one who is dying. Terrible woman!
Good grief dawn….. “disrespectful”?! Those boys were going thru hell. Absolutely no love or compassion shown to them from their mother! What a dire future they were facing with that woman.
The second woman is scared and worried about raising boys and coping alone. They are all suffering his imminent loss even before dad is gone. I feel much sorrow for this family. There is underlying anger in all of them. Hope things turned out well for this little family after dad passed. ❤
RIP Sally. I'm so happy you got to be at home with your mom. Second lady is a certifiable psychopath, and I fear for her children. I'm Jewish, but I have huge admiration for the Black church. Faith and hope are the greatest healers.
Even after 50 years, ( from the time this was filmed) these are impactful, emotional stories - death is something we all must face, but each individual/family deals with it differently. The first woman, stuggled to move forward, wasn't bitter, and her elderly mother caring for her was beautiful. The woman in the second story, I do believe had a psychotic break- I feel for her husband and sons - hopefully the sons were able to achieve a better life someday. In the last story, the pastor had the faith of Job- may I have just a fraction of his serenity and character when my time comes.

I don't think she meant what she said it's really hard to know you're gonna be without your loved one. Anger is a very real part of the dying process for family members. My mother died from cancer & I remember my dad saying I wish she would just go. It's scary, life changing & unending pain.

she did not have any support that i saw
At the very beginning and the very end of their story, did you not see her start laughing for no reason and, both times, the laughter leading to uncontrollable tears? It’s very easy to judge her. What’s not easy is watching your beloved spouse slowly die. He is dying and all she can do is sit next to him and watch it happen.
I agree.
Modern women, FEMINISTS like her hate all white men….unless they can get money or kids out of them for child support or welfare.
Just look at Hillary Clinton and what she still willingly puts up with to clutch onto Bill’s “prestige”. Bitch.
The Reverend in the 3rd story, I’m so glad he had his wife and family and had a good life after being a lonely foster child. What a sweet man and wife. He sure does love his family. He has such a good attitude and I’m glad he is enjoying the days he has. RIP sweet man. ❤
that story made me tear up ....bless his soul R.I.P
What a beautiful soul. I am sure he is having a great time up there with his Heavenly Father
I agree God Bless this family! Such a nice man and his wife and children were so nice.
One person makes all the difference in our attitude towards life and death: Jesus!
That poor man Bill. What a terrible wife. RIP! You’re free from her now.
She didn't want him to suffer.
@@ChristinaGainer-p8e Please! She wanted to be rid of him and get a new man to take those brats in hand. Bet she got him apple pie when he wanted cherry on purpose, too.
10:50 Sally’s mother knows what her daughter needs- to contribute. When Sally asked if she could rinse the dishes, her mother said no. I could see the pain in her eyes. Then her mother turns around and says “You can dry them!”, and Sally lights up. It may seem like an insignificant moment, but those small things make a big difference. That mother not only loves her daughter, she truly knows her daughter. Beautiful.
The wife of that dying young man was so horrible; just wanting him to hurry up and die. She could have given her boys so much by making beautiful memories with their father, giving them an example of love and selflessness instead of selfishness and narcissism. What a sad and lonely way he had to leave this earth, knowing that his wife was so eager for him to die and do it quickly. She made me truly sick. If she’s still alive (and she could be an old lady now) she would be deserving of a lonely regretful old age.
You're opinion is based on today's world. Women back then had more to face as a widow with children than today. She was probably scared to death of being alone.
@@emepleez obviously she was scared of being alone, but her attitude was still horrendous and only could cause harm. My mom was a single mother in the seventies and thank God, she didn’t have the attitude that she just had to hurry up and get hooked up with some guy (any guy) so she wouldn’t have to raise us alone. She did in fact raise us on her own and it was, no doubt, a struggle.
Know how he was before he got Cancer
@@emepleez That might be true, but she is horrible! No need for that!
@@emepleezI agree. I think she was terrified of the whole idea of cancer, death and being alone with 2 sons. Her random laughter was because she couldn't cope with the fear.
I am lost for words at the behaviour of the second woman. Self centered, selfishness and narcissistic doesnt come close to describing what I feel about her. Her husband is dying and all she can do is think about herself and how she is struggling with having 2 kids after he has gone. Speaking about meeting another man and remarrying when her husband is in the other room dying. She needs to be there for her husband show him care, love and support.
Rest in peace Rev. Bryant, what an incredible man ❤
He certainly was an extraordinary man. I loved the way he said he has had the happiest moments of his life, since being diagnosed. He was surrounded by love and his unwavering faith kept him grounded. Truly remarkable❤
AMEN! GLORY TO THE LORD!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was a great documentary. All 3 died with dignity and did their best to live out their last days. I wish in the second story he had more peace. I understand his wife was beyond afraid. But if you can’t have empathy for your dying spouse that speaks volumes about your character. What touched me the most was the mother in the first story and the wife in the third one. I can’t imagine the pain both women endured but they gave so much love. It made the process easier for their loved ones. This documentary reminded me that love is all that matters. A life well lived is one a person loves and is loved.
That woman is foul. We all know who I am talking about and honestly I hope no one made the mistake of marrying her down the line.
I AGREE
I agree
that poor husband!!!
Hopefully anyone she tried to date watched this film first!
The Reverand..a true man of God..his faith gave him the courage not to fear death. What a truly beautiful man, bless his soul❤
Yes indeed I thought the whole family was beautiful.
@@Mr.NettaizmysusSirNettaizmysus I agree..the whole family were so loving and completely involved in the Reverand's care especially towards the end of his life. They are exceptional people❤❤❤
The woman in the first segment was such a sweetheart 😢
YES SHE WAS
She never complained.
Yes, these were my first thoughts! So positive. ❤
@SquishyTishy4Life True... and also her mother, who looked after her, as if she were a child again... Very sweet.
@@angelopaoletti4768 yes!! Watching them hurt my heart so much 😟 made me miss my mom even more that day
I watch many of your uploads , but this one hits hard. I lost my 15 year old son 5 months ago, he fought a short but brutal battle with colorectal cancer. Gone much too soon. I sort of resent the comments judging the wife in the 2nd story. What many of you all dont understand, i pray you never do, is how HARD it is to watch someone you love actively dying. What may have come across as crass, uncaring, resentful is really a demonstration of her absolute fear. This was a different time , where women grew up, married, and had children. She couldnt accept the uncertainty of the illness or a future without the stability of a husband. I think we all at times are afraid of an uncertain future. The reverend in 3rd story is so similar to my son...They told him cancer was in liver.... and at least those docs were honest with Rev. Bryant and told him directly that there is no treatment available once it gets there... no one told me as directly as this. Im not sure it wouldve helped knowing, perhaps my child's doctors were just trying to give me something to hold onto...hope?...Hard to believe this is almost 50 years old documentary, and what a shame in that time , there havent been advancements made to help treat when its that far gone. Rest in Peace to all who have gone much too soon. Rest in Peace my sweet Cameren. Mom loves you foREVer
I think you’re wrong. Most folks want their love ones to be with them as long as possible. l know what it’s like to lose someone very dear to me. And true when the person becomes unconscious or goes into coma then maybe you hope for them to go quick. But that ladies spouse was still able to enjoy life and his children and she was pure poison, zero sense of humanity in her. She only wanted him to go quick so she could on with her life. She made her ill husband’s life horrible.
@@MarthaF6025 people handle things in their own way. I agree she couldve made better use of her husbands last days on earth. I think the fear took a firm grasp on her and she couldnt see past it. Wish we could ask her the reasoning behind her feelings and actions ... And maybe there were elements to this woman and her marriage that we werent made aware of in this documentary . 🤷🏼
Hola hello beautiful world God Almighty bless all ❤️sooo sorry for your pain and experience must be difficult loosing a son God Almighty bless you ❤️✨❤️thank u for your insight ✨❤️✨
Its the way she put it into words that was heartless. Its like she was mad that the doctor said he was getting better
So sorry for your loss! 😢
The First Lady was so sweet.
The wife in the second one,,,my heart hurts for her husband having to go through that in his last days.
The gentleman in the third story was such an inspiration and his family was definitely a blessing.
I spent a year as only caregiver for my husband with pancreatic cancer. We were only married 3 months before he died but i stayed by his side even when we were not married. Yes its hard but i reminded myself what he was going through. This was her husband and all she thinks about is replacing him as soon as possible. Wow. Pathetic. And to think he loved her but her love was conditional. My heart hurts for him
Love the pastors story, and how he chose to live out his last days. ❤
Sally’s mom taking care of her just killed me. That mother daughter bond 🩵
The poor husband... having to spend the last time of his life on earth thinking how much of an inconvenience he was to his family.
That's not fair to her . She loved him I'm sure and taken a few minutes of video to say how someone has been all of the marriage isn't fair. Are you kidding me. None of you have heard of the spouse becoming angry and their emotions and behavior changes when the sick spouse has only so long to live 🤔 it happens everyday across the world especially with cancer patients and dementia and other diseases who don't have long to live. I'm surprised at some of you especially the real adults
@@jazzyjbutterfly4929and at the time this was recorded ladies were held down bc the man controlled every thing around the home most women were stuck at home caring for kids not like today I remember granny and my aunts sewing and assembling shoe leather at home for extra money bc it wasn't proper to work in some factories
She didn't love him. She didn't know how to.
I lost my husband to brain cancer 24 years ago. Wild horses couldn't keep me from his side. I still love him as big as the world.
@latanafowler7136 That is not a woman, but a wicked witch, who prayed for her husband to die soon, to start a new life... Wicked with a face and two rude children like her. Hateful.
@@nemiaruckershe was really selfish and so obvious about it! Someone you love is dying young, come on!
The 3rd story was my favorite. What a wonderful relationship the husband and wife had. You know they been through some hard times together, but they hung on tight and stayed together, I wish I could experience that, everyone leaves me when the going gets rough.😢
Reverend Bryant. What a beautiful soul ❤
Poor kids with a dying father and a really mean mother.....i hope they turned out ok.
I really doubt they did!
They are brats!
@@skrrbaby I've seen a lot of bratty kids that age though. They could have still turned out fine. I don't know that they did, but I'm hoping.
Rev Bryant.
His story really touched my ❤.
I wonder how his family is today.
That second woman is mentally ill... the 2 young boys are already lost.... losing their Dad and a narcissistic Mother who has no compassion for them or her dying husband. He's actually the lucky one.... he won't be trapped in a miserable life with her.
The last story made me cry so much, his family was so beautiful! ❤❤
My gorgeous partner died of cancer, it’s heartbreaking to witness someone you love fade away before your eyes xxx I miss you wonderful man xx
I’m so sorry. Do you believe you’ll meet again? I sincerely believe we’ll all be reunited with our lost loved ones when the time is right ❤
@@SoundGGirl absolutely I will see him again as you will see your loved ones xx thank you for the lovely comment xx
@@Tomas-major I’m certain of it too 💗 thank you, so sorry again for your sad loss 💗 xx
If i was married to the second woman today and seen this documentary immediately DIVORCE the evil winch!
Thank you for these stories. I have lost MANY loved ones to cancer and I myself am a 3 year survivor. I didn't think I would make it through, but I put my life in God's hands & felt peace with what I was going through. My savior got me to where I am today. My life isn't perfect, but grateful for each day.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The rev with his family and grandchildren so loving❤❤😢😢
So Gracious too!
The wife with the children just wow! Did anyone else feel like she was asking the Dr. to do her husband in?
Yes!!!
Yes! Acting like the nerve of him to possibly get cancer!! Unbelievable. I hope he had some sort of other support...family, something. 😢
the worst was as she told her husband it takes to long, and he said...what do you want me to do. I wanted to hug him. Hope she never found a man again.
She should have been loving and caring in his last days. You could see the loneliness on his face. Karma.
@@tamielkins1745she'll get hers. Absolutely will. He went to heaven to be with Jesus. ❤
The preacher and his family were Joy to see them together and helping him to be comfortable and happy. No one seemed to think he was a burden. May he R.I.P. What a beautiful family ❤
My dad said he was afraid of feeling like a burden when he had less than a year to live. We reassured him daily there was nowhere else we'd rather be, nothing else we'd rather be doing. He wasn't a burden. He was loved.
My heart breaks for the husband in the second story. What a horrible way to die, surrounded by an angry, resentful, selfish wife & boys constantly acting out bc they had a dying father & a horrid mother...
This touched me so many ways and it doesn’t matter what color you are and where you come from this disease doesn’t care all the segments were beautiful, but I especially enjoyed the last one because he really expressed himself how happy he was and how he was so glad to meet his wife After going through being alone in life.😢🌸
When my body dies, I hopes it’s instantly or in my sleep 🙏
The spirit and soul live eternally. The only way to eternal life is through repentance and faith in Jesus 🕊
Amen to that.
The Reverends story touched me very deeply, what a beautiful man of God 🙏🏻
Amen. We are going to go one day, but we have to be ready spiritually.
Yes, that's what we ALL would hope ...to go instantly in our sleep. BUT in the big majority of cases that's NOT how it turns out. And that's the Scary part to me. Not dying. But it's whole 'Process of Dying' that is frightening.
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217I agree. To me, death is not scary because you don't perceive anything, or heaven which also sounds good. It is the same as before we were born, but the process of dying has the potential to be bad, but no one wants that obviously.
Watching this Rev try & find his father's grave in that over grown back of the cemetery was just heartbreaking to me. I sincerely hope it's being taken care of now but I doubt it. This man has more faith than a lot of preachers I see now! RIP sir god will be calling you soon. ❤😢
❤I noticed that as well, and thought the same thing about the cemetery, and the 'preachers' of today 🤦🏽
No words for the insane, wife in the 2nd one. Feel more sorry for the two boys being left with her, seriously unstable. Would love to know where they all are now,
me too
I was saying the same thing,not nice to him at all,just worried about being a single parent. I was a single parent and did just fine,do sorry for the dad had to deal with dying and a wife with attitude.
She's horrible!
She’s a horrible person, all she wants is to see him dead so she can move on 😢
This woman has mental issues, the two boys break my heart!
I know right? She seems so selfish. Doesn't she think that maybe her husband has a lot more on his mind and she should be more supportive.
The first story of Sally, what a lovely lady. And her mother was so loving. I loved that Sally had such a wonderful and realistic attitude. Was so touching when she was in physical therapy and was so sweet to the elderly gentleman and saying how beautiful he was. RIP Sally ❤
Yes, she had a wonderful inner light that shone brightly. I also felt the same from her mother, the gentleness and beautiful love between them was truly special. Sally died at peace with life in the loving care of her mother who must have been heartbroken. Neither of them ever complained. RIP Sally - and possibly her dear mother as this film is quite old.
Please comfort the dying!!!!
Don't be like the selfish woman!
Let the dying cry, smile, be as they need to be.
Reverend died in peace...loving and knowing God is what Rev. knows and he's at peace
I lost my mom to metastatic throat cancer in 2021. The year leading up to her death, i learned more about her than the 45 previous years. My mom is the strongest person i have ever known. I miss her so much! ❤
❤🙏🏽
I lost my mom to cancer as well and I miss her so so bad. I have so many regrets, she was always doing things for me and was just always there when I needed her. I'm ashamed I didn't do more for her. I sit here at my home waiting for a call from my Doctor, to tell me if I have Thyroid Cancer. How terrible it must have been for mama to have known her time was near.
@PeggyDillard-m5f thank you and i now your pain as well. I will say a prayer for you 🙏
@@yeaitsmee thanks, they didn't call today, I will be waiting Tom as well. You are so sweet.
Omg my heart hurt for the dying husband in second story
With all the science and medicine, and constant knowledge for these people, no one should be going through this. I'm truly sorry for the ones that are, my heart goes up to you add another human being. 🕊️💜🕊️
How cold heart this woman is to mean to her husband and boys
She has narcissistic tendency
I just think she doesn't know how to deal..poor guy.
Sorry I changed my mind...what a horrible person.
The poor husband, I feel so sorry for him, such a cold woman who can’t wait for him to pass so she can find another father for the boys!!
I doubt most men would go near her and her vile kids.
I hope he didn't leave her one cent of life insurance money.
She was vicious.
Typical narcissist. All about them, their needs, are a victim, blames others. She's disgusting to worry about a new husband wow. Doctor handled it well...letting her know it's about her HUSBAND NOT HER. She looks so bored and disgusting talking to him, laughing wow. I almost thought was actors as so bizarre.
How selfish that second woman was! It's all about her, and the nerve of him getting cancer and messing up her plans! 😡 Imagine telling the doctor to hurry up and let him die rather than save him!! And the evil, maniacal laughter throughout...smh
One can only dream of living as well as the Rev and his family, to have that much love and to give it back to so many is truly a gift from God .. and now the Rev is living his next glorious life 🙏🙏🙏
That second woman is horrendous she didn't care if her husband was dead or alive that poor man 😮 there is some mean people in this world and she is one of them
Well, she did care whether he was dead or alive. She preferred him dead as soon as possible!
Sally, how sweet, who flew away before her mother, leaving that poor woman alone, with a pain that no parent should have to suffer.
Rev. Bryant, a wonderful person, always smiling, despite the pain. At the heartbreaking ceremony, all his parishioners were there to say goodbye to him, as he deserved.
I absolutely didn't like poor Billy's wife, who prayed to speed up his end, so that he could remarry quickly, I understand that everyone reacts to pain in their own way, but that poor man must also have felt guilty, because he didn't die quickly? Disturbing woman, I have no words to justify her.
Heartbreaking lost my mother to cancer two years ago very traumatic thing to go through with someone specially the end...big pharma doesn't help they charge 48 grand for meds that cost 40 dollars to make to treat certain cancers and illness's... devastating greed.
Sending love❤ sorry you and your mom had to go through that
I’m so sorry.
❤🙏🏽
That wife in the second story was a psychopath!! I felt so bad for her husband & two boys 😢😢I can't imagine having a wife or mother saying those awful things about your own father
Omg that second woman is something else. I couldn’t even believe the things she was saying. Honestly idk who was worse her or her kids? I can’t believe she is wanting to remarry again I mean dang lady your husband isn’t dead yet!! Then saying she just wished he would go now . If he has to go why not make it quick and over with. Omg she is absolutely horrible! I feel so sorry for her husband. Being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer literally dying needing his wife now more than ever and this is what he gets? A wife that just wants to have a new husband and for him to just hurry up and die😮.. telling the doctor she prayed his chemo didn’t work!! That doctor owed it to him to let him know how she was feeling about him. I’d divorce her ass and be like go get you another sucker hope he doesn’t get sick you be wanting him to die next! This woman is evil plain and simple!
Yes me to 😮😮😮
And for that I bet she was punished by god
@Blonderockchick I was shocked . I thought maybe I heard it wrong and she was the cancer patient and wanted to get it over with but I scrolled back and realized she was talking about her husband! Terrible woman. I hope Karma had caught up with her.
maybe she was at the time having an affair

I have met all sorts of people in my 67 years but this woman is above anything i ever encountered that poor man in his last days with that!!!!!!!! Evil woman jeez😢
I agree with you. She is vile. is worried about her boys going on drugs and alcohol. She would be the cause of it. She’s mad because the doctor won’t do something to harm him. That’s crazy and just pure evil. I feel so bad because that man had to pass away without a moment, peace

All about Harriet. How dare her husband get sick. Very thoughtless of him.
How could he do that to HER?!
My mother is going through this for now and I can't explain the excruciating pains she is g through at this moment.
2nd wife probably died of bitterness by now.
This documentary was done yearsss ago and I'm sure they're all gone js🙏🏾♥️
She would be in her late 80s by now if she is still around. It is obvious from the cars on the road that this was filmed in the early 70s. 1973 or 1974 since the newest cars I noticed were 73 models.
I bet her sons didn't speak to her much once they became adults. What a witch!
Wow..the 2nd women ...just wow ..she probably had a new man lined up...wanted her husband gone ...😮 im in shock .....
i had to rewind it to make sure i heard it righr, omg
Me too!
Shocking 😳
Maybe she was thinking of his life insurance so she could move on. Self centered, cruel lacking any type of empathy
Very sad.
Yea she def didn't mean in sickness and in health 😢....terrible
That woman is awful to her husband. How incredibly sad.
Oh my, the sadness of the elderly mum feeding her 46 yr old daughter as if Sally was 12 months old again. 😢
wow she was only 46? missed that part. wow sad
@@nicoledenning8090 Yeah, she looked a lot older because she was sick with the cancer. I had a feeling she wasn't that old though, considering her mother was taking care of her.
That wife is not all there, horrible mother too
Extremely cold, highly rejecting and skin peelingly critical.
I was younger than her when my late husband was dying of cancer and I *never* spoke to or treated my husband or kids like that. Despicable.
What a horrible woman and human being . l hope she never found any happiness after the way she treated her husband when he needed her the most
Agreed! She’s Absolutely disgusting.
The first segment was so nostalgic for me. I was a nurse back in the days of caps and white dresses. Ambulances were not much more than glorified station wagons. The human touch seemed more noticeable then. I’m not saying technology is bad; we can save lives now that just 20 years ago had no hope. Were I to teach student nurses again I would emphasize that touch is so very important. Thank you for sharing this video.
You are absolutely right when you say that touch is so very important. I work in healthcare and can't begin to tell you, how much touch means to someone who is dying. So many people, especially the elderly aren't touched at all and once they feel your hand in theirs, they grip you like a vice, sometimes kiss your hand or bring it to their cheek - I can honestly say, that never fails to make me weep because touch is so fundamental to being human❤
@@SerenDipity64711 I was in Hospital with pneumonia last year, 10 days and while I knew I would get better, I was surrounded by gentleman dying from lung cancers… one night after hearing the doctor give the terrible news about one of the patients to him and his family , it got a bit to much and I was sobbing heavily for those guys. The nurse must have spotted me and came over to comfort me, a touch on the arm and she told me everything will be ok. I couldn’t tell her why I was so upset but seeing and feeling her love and care really touched me and I just felt overwhelmingly at ease. Nurses are amazing heroes!
My God the wife in the second story 😡 what a horrible person she is. Her poor husband is dying and all she is worried about is finding someone else to marry and not looking forward to raising two teenage boys. I hope she didn't find her second husband 😕
Probably karma struck her down too ! If anyone ever saw this I'm sure she never married again ! She took those marriage vows , in sickness & health !
That's not fair to her . She loved him I'm sure and taken a few minutes of video to say how someone has been all of the marriage isn't fair. Are you kidding me.

@jazzyjbutterfly4929 ok, yes maybe you do make a point but i was more coming across about the fact that she wanted her husband to die faster so she could find another man to marry! I personally feel that was wrong of her to say out loud that's what doesn't make her look like a good wife!!
Wow, the second story, that wife thinks this is all about her and how his cancer is affecting her. She should be concerned about her husband, as he is the one with cancer. She should be cherishing every moment she has with him. So terrible this man had to pass away unloved by his wife. ❤ RIP. Wish you could have had a loving wife by your side.
That woman was so consumed with fear at being left alone with children that she couldn’t give her husband the love and care he deserved while going through this horrible disease. I wonder if she’s left with regrets.
I don't think she knows how to cope with this situation. Kinda like myself when i found out my father has colon cancer. That news literally left me emotionally unstable and I still am. I see how this stupid disease changed my dad and I hate that he's going through this and I cant do nothing about it to cure it. Its a terrible thing to cope with. But i sure as hell dont act like this woman though.
@@stardustdreams234Sorry about your dad, I pray his pain is minimal and his peace is high. Sending you 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️.
She should have been the one with the cancer. Those kids where losing their father and she treated them mean.
The wife in the 3rd story was an amazing , she showed so much support to her husband it was by the grace of god of why she was able to keep it together even though it was a very stressful time for all of the family 🙏🏽💪🏽
She was able to stand strong like the soldier she was because she took excellent care of her husband. She was still taking care of her family as well. She was beautiful throughout the entire transition.
Rip rev. Bryant your at peace now bless the loving family ❤
Jesus wept……..that woman!! Back in the ‘80s my husband died of a brain tumour and left me with our two beautiful children then aged just 4 years, and 8 months. The 9 months he was ill were very hard for us both as you can imagine. If I had behaved like the woman in this documentary I would expect to be denied entrance to heaven…… where I fully expect to meet my late husband again. Those two handsome boys who looked so like their Dad, treated by her with no compassion at all! Please God they are having a better life now.
Rev bryants family was mirror image of us 7 kids losing our daddy to cancer 14 years ago, we all stayed by his bedside at home and comforted mom before and after..it was so hard losing the patriot of our family, life was never the same. Just lost mom 4 years ago and the family split up! Im wondering if these familys got closer or just couldnt deal with the loss, like my own family. If i could do it over and over Id ask god for the same parents. I miss them both. Its been hard.
❤🙏🏽
Thank The Lord Jesus for that first elderly Mom caring for her daughter, and for the loving wife and family of the Rev. Thank God for their love and kindness to their sick family members.
The second lady is zero comfort to her sons and husband. What a wicked witch. I wonder if it were her. How she'd be? What a nightmare.
What a difference from the first woman who wanted her husband gone. This pastor wife took care of him until the very end surrounded by family. 😢🙏
The lady sally was so sweet and her mother taking care of her she got her wish RIP
This is a very old documentary and I can't imagine there was a great deal of counselling for the families or mental health services back then. We saw a psychologist speaking to the mother, but not the children. My mother had terminal cancer in 1978 and as children, I remember we never had any kind of help - physical or mental. You were just left to get on with it. The second family in the story were all in such emotional pain they took it out on each other. The oldest son was so angry, copying how his mother was treating everyone and their mother full of rage at the thought of being 'left' to bring up her sons, once her husband died. I would love to know how things worked out for them all. It was really difficult to be a fly on the wall looking at the family's emotional decline.
Yes. *There was all kinds assistance available even back in the Stone Age.
@@tundrawomansays694Exactly and this really wasn’t that long ago.
I lost my father to cancer in 2006 when I was 6 years old, he never wanted to leave but he knew his time was unfortunately coming up. His last words were "a lady in white is coming to take him home" and I knew at that moment he was letting us know he was okay and that he's going home to be with the Lord.
I want anyone to know who has a loved one fighting this battle with cancer is to be strong, and if it's becoming to apparent that it's coming to the end that there's more and another journey after this life, a life with the Lord and his presence is like no other for there's no pain, no suffering, only Love
The black church, they really take care of you. They feel your soul, your sorrow they make meals, send people to assist the family. I’m in 😭. Is this because I am a recent widow and miss my church.
"maybe get them a new father" the man wasn't even dead yet
He would never be their "father" at any rate. Does she think he's that replaceable?
That woman is pure poison and down right evil. Wonderful film made.
Wow she was only concerned with herself and showed no concern for her husband at all .Kids were picking up on it I feel sorry for them😢
That's not fair to her . She loved him I'm sure and taken a few minutes of video to say how someone has been all of the marriage isn't fair. Are you kidding me. None of you have heard of the spouse becoming angry and their emotions and behavior changes when the sick spouse has only so long to live 🤔 it happens everyday across the world especially with cancer patients and dementia and other diseases who don't have long to live. I'm surprised at some of you especially the real adults
@@jazzyjbutterfly4929Girl first of all your poorly written essay is 🗑️. Either you’re that diabolical disgusting woman or your spirit is vile just like hers. She is a jezebel w/guttersnipe tendencies.
That second woman what an awful miserable lady! he was such a handsome guy so so sad she should of made his last years or months so amazing and full of lovely memories with thier children but instead she was miserable and resentful to him and saying to the doctor you can’t keep pre longing this ! Lady they were keeping your husband alive that is their job they are doctors he isn’t a dog that can just be put to sleep and to talk about getting another man while he isn’t even dead yet what a horrible sick woman
I remember watching this in my psych 101 class almost 35 years ago in college. I remember feeling horrified watching the wife be so cruel and mean to her husband.
As I began watching it again i thought, “I’m in such a different place now in my life. Maybe it will make more sense to me now.”
Nope. In fact, I feel even more contempt for her. She had a good life. He provided well for her. He was the one suffering with cancer. Yet, she made it all about her.
I would have loved to have seen a follow up with her. I hope those 2 sweet boys didn’t have to suffer living with her. She needed to be seen by a psychiatrist. It’s all about her when he is the one who is dying. Terrible woman!
wow that's crazy you watched this back then
The wife and kids in the second story ...wow I couldn't imagine being so heartless to my hubby and them kids are brats !! Very disrespectful kids
they were young boys being reared under very difficult circumstances and an unhinged mother, have you no heart, give them a break😪
Good grief dawn….. “disrespectful”?!
Those boys were going thru hell.
Absolutely no love or compassion shown to them from their mother!
What a dire future they were facing with that woman.
Damn this hits different since my father passed 6 weeks after his diagnosis of liver cancer! And my mom survived her breast cancer!
That poor man...what an awful,awful woman..
I can't believe that women wanting her husband to die so she can move on. Nasty nasty.
The second woman is scared and worried about raising boys and coping alone. They are all suffering his imminent loss even before dad is gone. I feel much sorrow for this family. There is underlying anger in all of them. Hope things turned out well for this little family after dad passed. ❤
RIP Sally. I'm so happy you got to be at home with your mom.
Second lady is a certifiable psychopath, and I fear for her children.
I'm Jewish, but I have huge admiration for the Black church. Faith and hope are the greatest healers.
Right? What if the children are an impedement to her new relationship? Off into the lake they'll go...
Even after 50 years, ( from the time this was filmed) these are impactful, emotional stories - death is something we all must face, but each individual/family deals with it differently. The first woman, stuggled to move forward, wasn't bitter, and her elderly mother caring for her was beautiful. The woman in the second story, I do believe had a psychotic break- I feel for her husband and sons - hopefully the sons were able to achieve a better life someday. In the last story, the pastor had the faith of Job- may I have just a fraction of his serenity and character when my time comes.
Third story is bad , but beautiful, what love and family is. Bless you all
Holy cow the woman she’s crazy, does she ever loved her husband .
She only loves herself.
That's not fair to her . She loved him I'm sure and taken a few minutes of video to say how someone has been all of the marriage isn't fair. Are you kidding me. None of you have heard of the spouse becoming angry and their emotions and behavior changes when the sick spouse has only so long to live 🤔 it happens everyday across the world especially with cancer patients and dementia and other diseases who don't have long to live.

@@jazzyjbutterfly4929Fly far away somewhere on here telling everyone how to feel.
@@jazzyjbutterfly4929you’re under everybody’s post saying the same stupid BS! She was there worst type of person!
@@cordellcordell3357Exactly, at this point I think it’s her or her ghost speaking on all these comments.
Why would this woman agree to be filmed as she lowered her mask of pure evil? Truly cruel and brutal “ mother” and “ wife”🤢🤮
Psychopaths always think they are the smartest person in the room. She probably thinks she's very clever, and everyone around her is at fault.
F CANCER ! ! !
The 3rd family was beautiful… that wife truly loved & respected her husband!
Imagine you pray a treatment doesn't work??Yet you have two little kids and you beat one because he is running around my brother has his in his liver .,😭😭💓💓His bones I would take away the pain myself he has a wife two boys ..I seriously pray 🙏 he will not be in awful pain
No wonder the boys are playing up when the parents are like that!!
