Oh Julie.. this is one of my lifetime top 10 movies.. you should watch the whole movie.. it’s really good. I’ve been an RN for over 25 years, hospice RN for over 10 years now. I have seen patients alert and coherent moments before they die. Particularly the younger adults who’s bodies are otherwise healthy and vital if it weren’t for their catastrophic illness. Not common but it does happen.
I’m so glad you made this comment because it absolutely happens.
I’m so glad you said it first, because, just before Louise passed away, she looked right at me to let me know she was going, sadly I did not realize it right at that moment, I turned to her daughter and said “It’s like she’s trying to tell me something.” And I left the room, to let her daughter be with her, a short few minutes later about 5 minutes, her daughter came to my room and told me she was gone. Velma was 100% coherent when she asked me to take her to her bed after the hospice nurse told her she had a very short time left, she passed about 10 minutes later.
Terms of Endearment was about the characters relationship with each other, not so much as a “documentary” of dying. By watching the whole movie it all comes together quite well. I remember when I went to see the movie, I totally balled
God bless you Julie..your young and only 15 years experience... You critique a movie you never saw
This movie has been in my top 10 also since I was young. It just gripped me when I was young and always stayed with me. I appreciate your comment, and the subject matter expertise that you bring with it.
The "old lady" is Shirley MacLaine - one of our acting legends!
I know, right? Did you fell old when she said that?
If you don’t know anything about movie then why judging the scene ? Remember it’s a movie and she’s not actually dying ;) you should start before exact time of death . And why haven’t you seen this movie cause it’s an iconic movie, oh and you’re a nurse then why don’t you know about the hat? You see anyone can just pick pick and pick so stop criticizing in that tune of voice , however you can give your professional opinion without putting down nurses back then.
The scene that rips my heart out is when her mom says "give my daughter the shot!" It's for her pain, and the awards were won with that scene. Hope see the whole movie Julie. it's very good, so many layers to it.
That scene gets me every time, too. The movie is from the early '80s, before hospice was really known. Nurses were (and some still are) terrified of giving pain meds that might cause the patient to stop breathing. Thank goodness, for the most part, we have a better understanding of comfort care now.
@@katymcginn4644 oh my goodness, you have my very deepest sympathies ♥️ I'm grateful your mother had you! I hope everybody reads what you shared, and inspires them to take the same action if their loved one needs immediate help 🙏
Yes I cried so hard
Julie watch the movie
That scene has happened when I was working. We were charting at the desk, still paper, and it was exactly as Shirley portrayed it. Thankful my patients had just been medicated. This Mom was in so much pain, wish we could of done something for her. Daughter was comatose BTW. Guess Mom felt helpless so she lost it .
If you have time, Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias are two movies worth watching. So is Brian's Song, Love Story, Beaches, Long Time Companion....these are old movies but they're well done with superlative casts.
All excellent movies... ❤️
I love Love Story, but as far as portraying end of life in an accurate way? Fail!
Terms of Endearment had me crying a river at the end.
@@notyet2345 Every. SINGLE. TIME!!
When my brother died 12 years ago it wasn't glamorous or dramatic....well kinda. All day long he kept asking 'what time is it?' His wife, 3 of 4 of his sons were there and myself (his sister). The 4th son had to work. He got off work and came right home arriving about 6 pm. At about 7:30 pm, my brother looked around the room and said "I see God, I'm going now". He took a deep breath and exhaled and he was gone. Not all deaths have the death rattle and funky breathing. I was a nurse and i must say, his death was the similar to 'Terms of Endearment'. Heck, he even asked my sister n law for a chocolate milkshake at about 4PM & sent it back to the kitchen when it didn’t meet his 'thickness' expectstions.
I give her 1 out of 10 .Go figure .
Retired nurse here. Not everyone dies how you are describing. I had a patient that was alert and coherent, but weak untill death happened. Also, my grandfather, who had copd, was flirting with the nurses 5 minutes before he died.
Tearms of Endearment is one of my favorite movies. You need to give it a watch.
Same with my Dad. We put him on hospice on Thursday. I was visiting my parents from out of state and his nurse reassured me that I would have plenty of time to make it back home if he showed any of the tell tell signs. I left that following Tuesday. He was feeling good. Eating. Drinking. Laughing. He took a shower before I left. He was fine Wednesday. He got up Thursday morning and wanted cake and ice cream. Not at all unusual for him. He told my Mom he was tired and wanted to take a nap. He got into bed and was gone. Just that fast and that easy. He was 81 and ready but I wasn't. 😢
A very good friend of mine died while I was with her. She looked for my hand held it hard. One of her sons came in figured out what was happening and held her other hand. Loudly, she said “He is here Oh, Jesus the angels the angels. She seemed to have a lot of energy. She started singing and calling Jesus, saying you came you came She was smiling and praising Jesus. Totally different from what you are saying. Llfini later am driving
I highly recommend watching the entire movie. It's from the early 80's, set in the 70's, so it's going to look old to you. Nurses did wear these outfits. The acting was fantastic.
Shirley McLane is the mother in "Terms of Endearment," and Debra Winger is the daughter. Jeff Daniels was her unfaithful husband. It was released in 1983...
Watch the scene where Shirley DEMANDED the meds for her kid!!!!
That was the first movie that made me cry my heart out. You really should watch the whole movie. It was about the mother. The daughter dying was just a small part.
Yes- it’s so so good!! I watched it after this and thought- damn- that’s sssoooo good
If I want to hear about "real" death, I'll watch Nurse Julie's videos. If I want to be "entertained" (awful word, but there ya go) by death, I'll watch 'Terms of Endearment." It's a well-acted tearjerker that really details a life-long relationship between strong-willed mother and daughter. The death part is just the final chapter.
My mom had Hospice while I was taking care of her,they told me that she would go into acoma and then I should call them. One morning she woke up and as I was sitting her up for her breakfast she died in my arms. Death is not always the way they tell you 🙏
The " old lady" is Shirley Mac Laine and she is a great actor. You are young, you have to watch the whole movie. I dont know about death scene- you are expert, but movie does have so many layers and great message.
The plot of this movie centered around the loving but tumultuous lifelong relationship between two strong-willed women who happen to be mother and daughter. The portrayal by the two actresses, Shirley McClain and Debra Winger, are why it won the awards it did. You questioned why it won so many awards but you didn’t watch it, basing the entire film on that one scene, which obviously isn’t portrayed as active dying happens. It didn’t mitigate the entire movie however.
My mother, may G_D rest her soul, was a RN, and each nursing achool gave out their particular hat (based on a nun's headdress) upon graduation. Each graduating nurse was given a card (similar to a license/ID) to prove she was a nurse who graduated from a particular nursing school. There were stores that sold only nursing uniforms (white dresses) and nursing shoes. My mother kept 2 nurse's caps at any one time. She took great pride in them and I wasn't allowed to play with them.
My mom graduated nursing school in 1954- the cap was a very important part of the nursing program. They had to starch and iron the fabric and then fold it "just so" . She did her psych rotation at a VA psych hospital- one of the patients was a former WWII army chaplain delighted in walking up behind the students and squashing their cap. 😄
Oh yea, we had a hat when we graduated. It was 1969. Then it just faded away. We had to polish our white shoes. I retired from the ER in my comfy Nikes and scrubs. (I learned/worked Oncology when it was just beginning--1975 ish).
@Aleta ❤GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE. ALL YOUR HARD WORK IN ONCOLOGY. ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT, STAY BLESSED 😊🙏❤ ❤❤❤
I'm 68 and I still have my nurse's cap, but it is old and yellow. We worked hard for those caps!
Why not watch the movie first before analyzing? Serious question. You are definitely a Millennial. 🤣
You really need to see this movie in contacts the most real seen but if you actually hear overall relationship between the mother and daughter. It’s a great story that hold up about life and death. Her screen when says good bye to her kids still will make anyone cry
Terms is set in the 1970's, and it's central theme is mother/daughter relationships. nurses did wear hats like that. The realistic part is when they deny Emma morphine when she was in extreme pain, and that scene alone probably did more for the hospice movement than any other movie scene. Aurora's reaction to Emma's death was the key part of the scene, not Emma's actual death. The goodbye scene with her sons, her husband, were also key. You should give it a watch. It's a really good movie.
Actually this movie is from 1984
The story was set in the seventies, the book it was based on was published in 1975. It was released in theaters in 1983.
I love your channel, Julie, but I find the music distracting. 🥰
YES! PLEASE NO MUSIC! I HAVE SOUND SENSITIVITY FROM CHRONIC LYME DISEASE. TOO MUCH NOISE IS OVERWHELMING FOR ME! I JUST NEED TO HEAR YOU NURSE JULIE ❤ THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU TEACH US ABOUT DEATH & DYING. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤
When my mom died,i it took my fingers to close closed her eyes like I had seen them do in movies, but they popped back open to my surprise. They would not stay closed, that was hard, I wanted her to look like she was asleep.
Terms of Endearment is an excellent movie. Not all movies are true. But I don’t think the directors think to ask a nurse or doctor what it’s really like when you die? This was back in the 70’s I believe or the 80’s. Nurse did have a standard uniform which I really like. I know the Technical schools where I live to this day where the white dresses and caps with stripes when the graduate. To be honest with you I’m 61 and liked them better when they wore those uniforms. Today how they dress you don’t know who the nurses are, CNA’s, MA’s, kitchen staff or housekeeping. Least back then you could tell who was who. You should really watch the movie. I think you would enjoy it. Don’t knock it until you see it. 😊
I remember when my stepdad was dieing of lung cancer my Mom made us all get together on New Year's Eve and watch "On Golden Pond" starting Henry and Jane Fonda... it was about the character that Henry Fonda was playing dieing. It was an awful experience. Very macabre . HAPPY NEW YEAR ?
😂yeah happy new year 🎆 lmao. Good story tho ❤
*macabre
@@paulkane7771
Thanks for the spelling correction. 😁
I get what you are saying, but this is a great movie that you should watch from beginning to end. I'm a dude, but this is one chick-flick movie that is in my Top 5. You've got the Dumb and Dumber guy, which might have been one of his first movies, the lady that dies is Debra Winger from Urban Cowboy fame, Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito (side bit role) and the mother Shirley MacLaine. John Lithgow. It is a fascinating movie and it is more about the mother-daughter relationship as well as the husband-wife relationship and getting older and all of that wrapped in. It is truly a great film. You've got the cheating, the raising of kids, her alluded to kinda sorta lesbo relationship with her best friend, cancer, the mother's relationship with her neighbor, the aging process in general. The film's storyline is timeless. I get what you are saying about that one clip, but when you watch the movie, you will appreciate the artistic license. Plus, I think they nail some of the other medical aspects pretty directly, moreso than other films for the time, which I think was 1983. It really is a powerful movie. You will laugh. You will cry. It's just a damn good movie.
Ok. Dear Nurse Julie. This is my first thumbs 👎👎You need to watch the movie before you comment! SERIOUSLY.
I’m really eating my words on this one 🥰🥰🥰. I’m literally watching it right as I type this 🥰🥰🥰
" The English Patient" is a better death scene, especially when he pushes the morphine vials toward the nurse.
The movie was made in 1983 from a 1975 novel.
The “old lady” is the legendary actress Shirley Maclaine!
I am totally eating my words!! I watched the WHOLE movie after this and it’s ssoooo good- and I swear I know Shirley MacLaine in her performance was phenomenal.
Also, she was 48 years old when she made this movie.
Can you check out the death scene in the movie Tombstone, where Doc Holiday was dying!! Kurt Russell was in it!!
You’ve never seen Terms of Endearment?! Dear god it was one of the very best movies ever. Sweet baby jebus go back and watch the movie. That lady is Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. The death scene was for the time period we were living in and what they would show. Ie how they would dramatize it. These two women are the greatest actresses of all time. I get it tho, it’s just like when they have movies with military makes me insane because they’re so off on uniforms ranks and everything about actual military life. We wouldn’t think anything of it but Bc it’s the line of work we are in so we are highly critical. I get it but go back and watch the movie and anything with the two of them in it, they are unbelievably talented actresses.
The old lady? You have got to research these movies before you review scenes. It’s one of the most iconic movies, and Shirley MacLaine is one of the most famous actresses EVER. I know this isn’t from your time, but geez. It’s like when contestants on American Idol say they have no idea who Billy Joel is. 🤦🏻♀️ All that said….I love your channel.
I am totally eating my words!! I watched the WHOLE movie after this and it’s ssoooo good- and I swear I know Shirley MacLaine in her performance was phenomenal.
If you were as old as me you would have loved this movie. Yes, this is what I thought death was and when my Pap passed it was horrible and I was no way prepared. After watching you so much has been explained and I learned that I didn't let him down these things were normal. Thanks for what you do. ❤
Nurse Julie,
The other day I read a comment in one of your videos where the lady said that her husband's death hunted her. Apparently he was on hospice care but as he took his last breath, he said "Please help me I'm drowning." According to what I read, he had fluid in his lungs. I was disturbed by this. What could be the reason? And were the hospice meds not working?
I’m not Nurse Julie so I’m definitely not responding for her but I will give you my opinion. Without any medical record to review or contributing factors that sounds like pulmonary edema likely secondary to the reason that they qualified for hospice services. When there are no life saving measures taken then you let nature take its course and provide as much comfort measures as possible. That means that there is a possibility that some complications can be hard to manage. I’ve seen a patient go from normal to flash pulmonary edema with lungs filled with fluids in 5 minutes with it foaming out of the mouth. Not trying to be morbid but things can happen. I would like to think that this man was talking to someone unseen in the room. I was atheist but can not deny that many people see and reach for loved ones usually a few days but can be a couple weeks before death.
Also sometimes difficult family members can make it worse for the loved one if they don’t follow recommendations for fear of addiction or “killing” them with drugs. Just saying that a wife that isn’t coping well with the situation can create roadblocks.
PS I don’t normally respond to comments but I’m very passionate about wanting people to accept the death process, it’s important for your loved ones. I’m feeling especially emotional tonight so hoping I didn’t speak out of place or misinform you. ❤
You didn't. Thank you so much. I have always been puzzled by death and, I'm not going to lie, I am afraid of it. I certainly hope that many people do have a peaceful death and not suffer, myself included. Thank you 🙏
My mom graduated from nursing school in 1956. That uniform differentiated you from the custodian. Professionalism. Back then in large city hospitals on overnight shift with 40 patients all roomed together in a ward, she had all sorts of patients to care for ALONE! She related how she had a dying patient for whom she really did not have the time for but compassion made her hold his hand so he had human touch at the end of life.
It was a good movie, though. The lady is Shirley McClain.
True, I’ve witnessed patients dying and you are 100% correct.
It’s quite an old movie. But it was good for its time.
You need to watch the movie. That would give you some context. And that was Shirley MacLaine playing Debra Winger’s mom. Jeff Daniels plays Winger’s husband. It’s easy to make fun of action movies and what doesn’t look real, but for viewers who have invested some of themselves in this or other films that have death scenes, it can feel irreverent to joke about them.
I would never expect death in a film to be shown how it really is
I just wanted to say, while I don't work directly with patients, I'm just a pen pusher, you have helped me understand my role and the people covered by the services my job provides. Thank you
Oh man! This is such a great film! It is old, but so am I, 48, and seriously, you’ve got to see the whole thing, great film.
In 2009 my mom had to go into hospice. She was brain dead and had a do not resuscitate order in place. I went to the hospice every day to sit with her.
The last time I went to see her, I walked into her hospital room her eyes were open. I immediately went to the nurse to ask them to come take a look. They came to her room and explained that many times during the last days, a patient may open their eyes sometimes.
I started watching tv and her breathing changed.
I ran out the room to look for a nurse but something told me to stop. I went back into the room and I just held her hand. She opened her eyes for the last time but she looked confused and disoriented and her eyes were focused on me. Before her eyes were open but but she she was not conscious. I try to comfort her by telling her it was okay to let go and she did. Seconds after telling her that, she closed her eyes and died peacefully. I was always haunted by that because when she was looking at me and was very disoriented and confused, was she trying to tell me to go get help and I didn't? But if I went and got help, I would of not been there with her to hold her hand while she transition. She would of died alone.
The movie was 1983. It was actually a good movie!
Shirley MacLaine is actually only 49 in this scene
I was dismayed to hear her being referred to as "old lady" , wtf ! She didn't look anywhere near "old"!
Exactly. I’m 56 - I guess that makes me super old.
@@now591 That was my reaction, too. This was a great film that left so many sobbing over the “unrealistic” death bed scene. Who cares whether it’s realistic or not? It’s a film. As a diver, I don’t think the shark in JAWS looks particularly realistic today however when I saw the film as a kid, I didn’t go swimming in the ocean for years and we lived at the beach! TBH, I’d rather pass on these movie death scene reviews.
Terms of Endearment (‘83) is one for the ages. Classic, fantastic acting, beautiful and tragic story. Please take time to watch it, Nurse Julie! 💗
It was an emotionally intense and draining movie but Oscar worthy.
Absolutely EPIC movie though.. it is a total Hollywood death but what a keeper of a movie…Shirley McClain is the old woman.. EDITING THIS NOW TO SAY THAT SHIRLEY REALLY WASNT THAT OLD THEY JUST AGE PROGRESSED HER SO SHE APPEARS TO HAVE PROPERLY AGED… (how’s that everyone ???? Is that okay to say??😠😠). anyway, so thankful for your channel Julie! We need you most definitely.. when u have a moment tho, this flick is worth the time👍🏼💫✨
She was 49🙄
😂 LOL, RIGHT! SHIRLEY MACLAINE WAS SO EXCEPTIONAL IN THIS MOVIE! SHE WASN'T THAT OLD. BUT PLAYED HER PART SO WELL. I STILL CRY OVER CERTAIN SCENES 😢
@@pepper1188 OKAY EVERYONE.. BACK OFF ON THE OLD THING… I said it the way I did because that’s how Julie referred to her..OMG
I SAID OLD BECAUSE THATS HOW JULIE REFERENCED HER….. seriously people..
@@katymcginn4644 she was extraordinarily in this movie ! Everyone was! And no, she wasn’t old.. I know that.. such a good movie👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Girl you are not too young for that movie lol. This movie is near and dear to my heart. Fake or not. It's a movie lol we know it's not real
Why are you making a video on a scene from a film you haven't seen. Don't do this again.
1970 love story Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw
"Love is never having to say you're sorry"
If Julie was unimpressed with Terms of endearment she probably wouldn't like the death scene in My Life with Michael Keaton either. Both movies moved me tremendously. She's right though about not being conscious at the end of life. My dad died of a brain tumor on a Saturday. He had his last conscious moment on Wednesday. By Thursday he was unconscious, Friday he went to the hospital because of seizures, and passed Saturday at 1:00 in the afternoon. Thank you Julie for all your analysis!
Truth.
Oh that movie makes me cry so hard
We will find out by ourselves one day If He wants us to.
Thank you Julie, and all the others that are trying to find out.
Enjoy life!
So when people die, are they typically asleep then? Is there a such a thing as conciouse dying?
i think the reason movies don't do *real* death that often is simply because it's too real for most people to handle in a movie situation. It's like when someone in a movie gets shot in the head, it looks nothing like what it looks like in the real world.
You need to see the movie. And I'm confused as to why you would criticize it from a documentary standpoint. This movie is a stone cold melodrama from
The mid eighties or so, when movies and society still cloaked death. Watch the entire movie for better context, and know that for its release date, it actually made an effort to be more realistic than previous movies. They had a long way to go in those days, and the storyline emphasis was one the high emotion, not cinema Veritas. If you want to see a truly bad death scene, watch ,"Dark Victory", a '30's melodrama starring Betty Davis, to see how far "Terms of Endearment " had actually come.
I absolutely love your channel, BTW...
Nonetheless, it's a great movie.
I love so many of your videos that I’m shocked at how wrong this one is. So much of what you do speaks to the dignity of end of life. Plinky piano soundtrack and being glib at movies isn’t that. Please dont consider this a good path to go down. People need you
I hear you. Just making a variety of content 💗💗. Thank you for your feedback 💗💗
@Hospice Nurse Julie YES HONEY, PLEASE NO MUSIC NURSE JULIE. I HAVE SOUND SENSITIVITY FROM CHRONIC LYME DISEASE. TOO MUCH NOISE IS OVERWHELMING FOR MY SENSES. I JUST NEED TO HEAR YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU TEACH US ON DEATH & DYING. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤
There's a movie with Molly Shannon called Other People that is SO GOOD!!! And (spoiler alert) has a death scene. You should give it a look! Love your vids ☺
I rarely comment on anything but I have to say I’m really disappointed in your comments. You shouldn’t make “qualified” flippant judgments when you don’t understand the timeline, context or actors in the scene.
This movie was set in the 70’s.
The uniformed nurse shut the machine off because she had already passed. (My Mom had a vitals monitor on til the end).
Yes, even in the 90’s nurses wore uniforms.
The “old lady”?
“Dumb and Dumber”?
My Mom died of cancer. She came out of the morphine, wanted to sit up to hug us, squeezed my hand and nodded as I talked to her, laid back and was gone within a couple of minutes. No she couldn’t see but she understood what I was saying to her.
That hasn’t been my only experience with death and dying.
I’ve based a family member’s end of life care plan on many of your views but I now find myself disappointed and rethinking your opinions.
“Just making content …” ?
I’ve appreciated your thoughts and experience in the past but you really missed the mark on this one.
I appreciate a professional looking nurse. The cap is what she worked long and hard to achieve.
When my grandfather died in 1971 in nursing home, no such thing as hospice. As far as I know. He fought to his dying last breath pleading with my mother and grandmother. PS. He died of lung cancer
I used to watch this and cry. I was so mad at her cheating husband. 😂
Dear Julie, I truly appreciate all the knowledge and experience you convey on this channel about a sensitive and difficult topic. But two movie reviews are enough. I would rather hear more facts about end stage phases of various fatal diseases - also about fatal autoimmune diseases e.g. sklerosis, lupus, mb. addison, myalgic encephalomyelitis, and the like.
It's a great movie. Highly recommend. Aside from that...have you reacted to the "death" scene in the movie "My Life" with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman? Woo that gets me every time.
Ohh man- I just rewatched My Life- have to do it next. Such a good movie
How about Weekend at Bernie's (j/k)
😆 🤣 😂 😹
Ok. Keep in mind this is the early 1980s. Of course this hospital scene isn’t going to be done well because … it’s the 1980s where death scenes were never real. To protect the children.
The “old lady” is Shirley MacLaine. And she is amazing.
MAD magazine called it "Terminal Endearment;" and their title for "Love Story" was "Sob Story."
This movie is about SO MUCH MORE than the 20 second scene you reviewed! I agree, this is not a realistic death scene but that is beside the point of this movie. Do yourself a favor and watch the whole movie. One of my all time favorites!
I’m going to respectfully disagree with you here. You really aren’t giving the movie a chance. Might I suggest you watch it before you critique it? You are literally judging without knowing anything about what the story is about. Do better girl.
I would strongly recommend that you watch some of these movies before you pick them apart… It’s for entertainment purposes.. But your rating scale sucks..
"Wit" is a movie in which Emma Thompson powerfully portrays an Academic who is forced to reassess her life when she is diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. There is a twist when the leading character, Professor Vivian Bearing dies...
Please, watch the movie. It was made in 1986, I believe, so quite dated. My mom was an RN for decades and was one of those die-hard white dress/white cap wearing caregivers.
This was before Jeff What’s-his-face was in Dumb and Dumber. He’s actually a pretty good actor.
It seems the dying scene didn’t involve any medical advice from someone who actually knows what a patient looks like before passing.
I am totally eating my words!! I watched the WHOLE movie after this and it’s ssoooo good- and I swear I know Shirley MacLaine in her performance was phenomenal.
@@hospicenursejulie It’s my favorite movie.
I’m going to watch it again soon, it’s been years.
Thank you for your wonderful content, Julie. I’m turning to you while my father struggles with dementia. I find your channel informative and comforting. ❤️
I’m my fathers final days , his mouth looked black inside and it was open most of the time. We did the sponges thing to try to keep it moist but… I just wondered why. Thanks!
People crying...for whatever reason always makes me cry too. Don't care if they cry because they dropped their candy bar in a pile of poo...it sucks to be me.
Gads. Remind me to never take you to the movies. I don’t want to see death on a movie like I saw with my dad. He had a good death, but it wasn’t a pretty death. Good movie though. All the actors are amazing.
You've never seen this movie? Wow, sad. Maybe you should before judging it?
And by the way, I had a dear friend that died of pancreatic cancer. He did talk to me very clearly until he passed. Rest in peace, Godfather.
I think she was just acting anyway. In truth, I do appreciiate the lessons your offer.
Again I say Brian’s Song when Brian Piccolo is dying who is played by James Caan
Another suggestion: Melanie's deathbed scene from Gone With the Wind.
How about the Bobby Simone death scene from NYPD Blue?
my cousins wife, a nurse at the time and only in her early 30’s navigated a very difficult passing from what I was told after by her husband.. she was terrified to die.. super scared.. wouldn’t let hospice help with anything and was agitated almost all the way thru it.. that’s a tough scenario to manage.. I think of her with great love and prayers so frequently.. it’s been 30+ years ago but left us all traumatized..
I was an oncology nurse for many years. I would say that by the time they reached the “actively dying” phase, 99% of my patients had reached the acceptance phase in Dr Kübler-Ross’s stages of death and dying. I only ever had one patient that died in the anger phase. It was very difficult and painful for everyone involved, including the nursing staff! It’s sad for us to lose a patient that we have developed a relationship with, but we do everything we can to make this transition as pain-free (physically and emotionally) as possible for the patient and family. Watching this patient die bitter and angry was so much more difficult. It’s so heartbreaking. You hope that they found peace on the other side.
If you're going to have a reaction video, you should actually watch the movie.
Hollywood also does not get horse movies either.
My life. Michael Keaton Nicole Kidman excellent story
I loved Terms of Endearment. You should really watch it.
I’m actually watching right now- after I posted this video 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@hospicenursejulie The death might not be accurate, but the story is a tear jerker.
Thank you for educating us on the real look of what death is. It is so important to be prepared for what really happens and how is really is a painless beautiful process. I like this. I am usually the one picking apart death scenes! Definitely keep this type of thing going at least one a week or month ❤
You really shouldn't comment on a film you haven' seen.
Hey julie thanks for another great video your a credit to us all you are truly an American rose❤Love from Dublin Ireland🇮🇪🇺🇲❤️❤️
Why you gonna destroy that scene for us old folks? Lol
How do you review a film you have not seen??

Jesus is the only way to heaven
i loved watching terms of endearment while realizing full well that dying actually looked nothing like this in real life...i am 65 yrs old and ive watched alot of movies..i cannot think of one to recommend that has an actual realistic death scene except for example sudden traumatic death or murder ...there are scenes in some shows and movies that seem to be more realistic deaths.....anyway i look forward to this series of reaction vidos...thank you so much for all you share with us julie ❤
I love this series! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your thoughts on this one. This movie was one of the firsts to show the patient at the end of life …so mom got it right and was a strong character. Thanks
I am totally eating my words!! I watched the WHOLE movie after this and it’s ssoooo good- and I swear I know Shirley MacLaine in her performance was phenomenal.
I think, to be honest, the death scene was scripted as part of a story about two women. Debra Winger didn't actually die. I've seen her lately - she looks great.
Actually my brother was alert enough to look out the bedroom window, as if it was a pathway and said "I see God now". He inhaled then a long exhale and he was gone. Granted he didn't have a 'make-up artist' but he looked 'normal' except for the mottling on his back and legs.
You should really see the movie it is a wonderful movie

You absolutely HAVE to critique the death scene from Love Story! It’s heartbreakingly sad (drama and great soundtrack) but 1,000% unrealistic, especially since she was dying from leukemia. I am a retired oncology RN. Pleeeeeeeeease review this!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
