    I just recently lost my brother to cancer and it was so painful to watch him suffer he suffered so horribly . I know that this may sound crazy but it was harder watching him suffer than it was to lose him and there was absolutely nothing that I could do to help him other than just to be there for him and I thank God that he let me have as much time with him as I had I just miss him so much . 😞

    I got in bed with my Mom on her last day and talked and just held her. She seemed very comfortable and was waiting to see my dad when she died in heaven. The nurses said they have never seen like it. They cried when they saw me hold my mom in bed in her last hours. She brought me into this world and I helped her to leave it peacefully.😥

      @Daniel Johnston Thank you for the kind words, they mean a lot to me. I guess our situation was slightly different, we knew Mom was starting to fail, the signs were there. She was diagnosed with vascular dementia and made it exactly 8 days, things happened so fast, 48 hours before she passed she ASKED for a hot dog (lol). That's also when I got a last hug from her and she said.. I love you. It was an amazing experience to share with the person who brought me into this world. I'm haunted at times.. was there more I could've done, hospice said no, but you wonder. I wish there wasn't such a stigma about death, and dying at home, you're absolutely right about being in your own surroundings, familiar sounds, voices. I know in my heart I did right, but it was also the hardest thing I've ever done. Sorry for prattling on, again, thanks for the kind words, peace to you and your family. 💜✌️💜

    I firmly believe in providing the most pain free experience to the individual.... death with dignity.... laboring for breath and slow suffocation and the pain of organs shutting down is horrible.... it should be a persons right to decide not to drag things out .... we call it “humane “ to put an animal out of its misery but insist so often for others to keep suffering only to hold on to life for moments longer even if living is agonizing.... that is cruel abusive and inhumane

    I had a good experience with my late hubby in the last hours before his death. He spoke little but he was restful. He spoke to me letting me know what was going on -- He spoke and said -- pray with me. We prayed the Lord’s Prayer and then my twin sister and I sang few church hymns he was familiar. Then he spoke again and said --I’m slowing down. Then the lights started flickering on and off and then my hubby sighed and spoke -- Hi DAD -I imagine there was an embrace and a reunion with his late dad -- His dad may have been there to meet with him and then he took a deep breath once and then again and it was finished - He passed away. Watching this video made me remember him in his last hours prior to his death. I miss him so much. It will be his 5th death anniversary this November 14th. Surely, and know that he is in a better place now. He came in a dream giving me the biggest hug and with a bright smile on his face. I cannot forget that dream -the memory of it will be with me always.

I saw my dear dad die as the hospice nurse was counting the seconds between his breathes.

    My mom had stage 4 gastric cancer and spent the last 1.5 years of her life (much past the 6 months expected!) living with us in our home, well cared for. Her death was sudden, seriously, the 1.5 years she lived with us you'd never know she was ill. There were a few bouts of obvious health issues during that time, but they were very few and far between. Then suddenly after Easter, in 2017, she started spending a lot of time sleeping in her recliner, didn't want to go anywhere with us, didn't eat much. I'm an RN and it threw me for a loop....I haven't dealt with this before, not someone in the process of dying in my home, my own mother. She asked me to give her a bed bath...wow, suddenly. I felt like I was allowing her to die...like by not making her eat I was letting it happen...what if it wasn't TIME? Thank GOD for the hospice nurses who saw me through this. My mom passed in less than a week after her "turn". It was peaceful and I was sleeping in the same room with her (dad getting rest in another bedroom) when I woke up to agonal breathing, she had a restless night and I had given her liquid morphine a few times as she seemed uncomfortable. She never woke up, and her heart kept beating until the hospice nurse told her, "it's ok Shirley, you can go" and she did. I appreciated everything hospice did for us. We didn't need to get them involved until about 5 days before she died as she was up and about and doing her own cares so recently before she died. I miss her so much.

I was with my mom and her last months weeks days in minutes and she had a very peaceful death. With the last exhale of her last breath she said the word "God" information like this helped keep me calm and reassure her in her last days and I am so grateful for that.

      This is true! when my wife passed away it was a relief for me because she had suffered so much pain it was awful to watch, the last couple of days of her life she was unconscious, i stayed with her, held her hand, and spoke to her, told her i loved her and that i would never leave her side, i can only hope that she could hear me and that it gave her some comfort in her final hours, but as you said, nothing can prepare for the agonizing grief that you feel when they pass away.

    I work as a carer in a nursing home. Marie's presentation is very much right. While I have seen over the years many of my elderly residents "pass away" it still hurts me time and time again. For me the priority is to do all possible within my "job role" to support the resident while they are still with us and the way I achieve comfort is "knowing" that I have done all possible to assist them be comfortable with their needs met. For me to continue working in this field, that peace of mind I must have or else I believe I have no right to be a carer. You must have a natural desire to care for the elderly!

The experience has helped me cope with my own terminal illness and I wish to die at home with my family around me, my biggest worry is leaving a 12 and 11 year old boys without a Dad, my only regret is I wont get to see them become Men.

      Sir I am so sorry that you lost your precious dad and you are now facing the same thing. My heart aches for you, especially what you said about not seeing thrm grow up to be men. I am one of Jehovah's witnesses, and through my research of the bible I have learned that God is so loving. 1John 4:8. And in his word he declares, "I do not take in pleasure in the death of anyone. Ezekiel 18:32. Therefore he promises: "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." 1Corinthians 15:26. Jehovah sent his Son, Jesus, so that we might have life everlasting through the resurrection of the dead. During biblical times Jesus brought many back to life. He resurrected the only son of a widow, and a little 12-year old girl. When his friend Lazarus died he comforted his sisters by telling them, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." Then after saying those comforting words he brought Lazarus back to life. Soon Jesus will resurrect the billions who have died, and they will be reunited with the loved ones they left behind in a beautiful paradise earth that God is soon creating. Sir, teach your sons these things while you're still here, and you will definitely see them again as men. There's so much more I want to share with you, but I urge you to go on our website, JW.ORG. Millions visit it everyday to have their questions about life and desth answered for them in a truthful way. You can request someone to assist you to understand God's beautiful purpose for humans on that site, and believe me his purpose was never for humans to die. Rev 21 verse 4. So if you want to be with your sons again please ask Jehovah, the name of the Almighty God to help you to understand his purpose. I will keep you snd your family in my prsyers. May God comfort you through this sad trial you are going through. Take care.

    My mother was bed-ridden the last 2 yrs or so of her life due to breaking her hip in a fall. We brought her home when they would release her from the hospital where she'd spent a few months for her surgeries (she broke her right wrist in the fall too). Her and my father had always said they wanted to be at home at the end so that's what we did. Over those 2 yrs she got progressively worse (she never could walk though even from the beginning because her hip didn't heal properly). Other than not being able to get out of bed she was fairly "normal", still could speak and ate/drank, even enjoyed her morning cup of coffee as usual. As things progressed she needed help speaking (she had slight dementia) and the last 6-9 months she had to be fed and could no longer speak at all. Her and I had this "thing" we did with each other which might sound strange but we stared deeply into each others eyes as if we were communicating that's what it felt like to me, for about 3-5 mins or so. I remember leaning in closely and whispering in her ear that if she wanted to "go" she should "let go", that it would be okay. I didn't want to think she was just hanging on for the family. So her final 2 days she slipped into a coma and then she started this, what seemed to be, very labored breathing. This went on for the final 2 days (24/7) and the sweet Hospice ladies told us that this was the end for her. The labored breathing finally ended as did her life. She was my best friend and I'll never get over her leaving. It's been 11 yrs ago now and I still talk to her every single day. It's still difficult but I know I will see her again someday. R.I.P. Mom, I can't wait to see you again. I love you so much.

    I lost my mum 11 years ago. She was 44. I got a call that it was probably going to happen that night so I went over to the house to stay. She slept in a hospital bed we were given in the living room. Me and my dad slept on the couches in the same room, my other siblings upstairs sleeping also. The heavy breathing all night, and I instantly woke up when it stopped. I kissed her on her head and said it would be ok. She was more worried about how her kids would feel after. How they would cope. I still remember it like it was yesterday. On top of this, my mum and dad were divorced for about 15 years, yet he took time off work to give her 24/7 care. It makes me sad and I guess he still loved her. It hurts when it happens but you have to keep on living for them. We are her kids, we live for her.

    My father-in-law was in the hospital and he expected to be released. He spent sept. 29th calling all the relatives giving them updates on his condition (he had leukemia and was receiving a blood infusion but the drs had said he would probably die of old age since it was very slow growing )He told them not to come since he was “fine”. He sounded happy and his own self. He spent hours on that phone. When I showed up the next day (sept 30th) he was unconscious and the nurses had taken his roommate out of the room for our privacy. They said it wouldn’t be long now. I spent all day with him, just watching. That evening I sat on the bed holding his hand and watching his pulse in his carotid artery (neck). My brother-in-law and girlfriend came but sat there arguing . I just sat quietly on the bed watching. Then the beating in his neck just stopped. Just stopped. No heavy breath out, no death rattle, no movement, the beating just quietly stopped. I sat for a few more minutes watching him and wanting that moment with him for myself. He was my best friend. I told my brother-in-law that he was gone and I left. I sat on the floor in the hallway, waiting for my husband and kids. My husband didn’t want to be there at the end to, as he said, to be at a deathwatch. This was back in 1996 and I still think about him daily. I know now that that day before, him being so chipper and normal calling everyone, was his way to say goodbye. You wouldn’t have thought in a million years that that happy guy would be unconscious in less then 12 hours and passing away that same day. He knew. The nurses knew. I didn’t but will always be comforted by the fact that I was there holding his hand for hours until the end. RIP John Stewart Bean (Jack). September 30th 1996. I’ll always miss you! He was 72 years old.

    As a religious person, I have been able to come to terms with the deaths of my many loved ones. This in turn allows me peace when considering my own passing. A challenge with cancer for my self with what I call the full meal deal in treatment brought it all home tome. We all pass as they say no one gets out alive. Our society has tried to negate death which of course causes Hugh cognitive differences when it happens. Live your life as if everyday is your last because we never know.

    When my dad was dying at the hospital, I tried to speak calmly into his ears and to tell him that it was ok for him to move on and not worried about any of us here, including my mom. Tried as hard as I could, I just wasn't able to tell him because I was so choked up with grief. The comforting part for me was when my sister took over and said the same thing to my dad. I saw my dad softly nodded twice, as if he was saying yes he's at peace now and that he was ok to move on. That little soft nod gave me so such comfort because I knew he will be in a better place, with no more pain!

      Dear Rainbow Kittenz, I just recently lost my dad to the same thing, Didn't know he had it which made it even harder. He had a stroke on a Tuesday, Wednesday he was doing great, That night a complete 180, It was such a shock, And very difficult to watch what was happening to him, But he wanted to be home when he passed and I promised him that's where he would be, Got him home Friday morning and he passed that night 😢 It took the hospice nurse 6 hours to get him comfortable he was so agitated, That was hard to see, But me and my daughters and son in laws stayed with him and talked to him him, Turned on his favorite music ( 50s and 60s ) We were going to take turns giving him his meds and trying to get some sleep, he had to have meds every hour and a half. The rest of us laid down to try to get some sleep my youngest daughter was getting ready to give him his meds and he started taking his last breaths she woke us all up and we were with him when he passed, We all truly believe he waited till we all settled down. I miss him so bad, He was my dad and best friend. That kind of dementia is horrible and happens fast. God Bless anyone who has had to go through it.

Funerals are to be held at funeral homes or churches.

    My sister just died a couple days ago at home in hospice care. I saw this when my Mom died a number of years back and my relatives saw my brother and sister die as well in hospice. The one thing I want to share is that when my mom, brother and sister died, it was a peaceful death as they were unconscious. But my other sister who died a couple days ago was unconscious for about 3 days then she awoke by the hospice nurse accidently and had not been given any pain meds for those days so when she woke up she was in terrible pain and trying to scream and moan with this look on her face of pure fear and terror but was too weak and frail. We quickly gave her the pain medication and she suffered for 15 to 20 minutes until the pain meds kicked in. Now I see this image in my mind of her going through that and it hurts me inside my feelings even now after she passed away quietly in her sleep the next day. The thing I want to point out is in the last week to couple days the pain meds should be given even if they are asleep or unconscious. Hospice says to give it as needed when you see them in pain but when they are unconscious, you can't really tell. This has never happend before so I'm just letting you know. If your there with them in their last days, use your own judgement as you see what's happening in from of you. Could it hurt them to give them every couple hours, maybe but then again they are going to die any way. Don't let them wake up for God's sake. Unless you want to live with what I saw over and over. Let them die in a restful peaceful sleep.

    My mom died two weeks ago and even though she was declining never expected it to happen so fast. This video is on point. I experienced all these things while my mom was in the hospital for 4 days prior to her death. She moaned non stop, breathing labored, kidneys failing, ashy skin, very agitated, scared, restless and couldn’t seem comfortable no matter how many times we adjusted the bed, and asking to help her. Not what I was used to seeing. After given something to relax my mother she seemed to be dosing off and kept saying mom, mom, mom. She had another bad night. The next day she went on comfort care, was unconscious and died 9 hours later. Looking back I wonder if she was suffering all those days and given enough pain meds prior to going on comfort care.

    This was very helpful, thank you so much! My dad is nearing the end of his life, is at home under hospice care. He has prostate cancer that has spread and his body is now riddled with cancer. I have spent more time at his home and with him these last six weeks than maybe ever (my parents separated when I was 6 years old). He is not experiencing these signs or symptoms yet, but the last week there have been some changes. It is so helpful to have an idea of what I could expect to see and hear. His hospice nurse gave me a booklet by Barbara Karnes titled, Gone From My Sight, The Dying Experience. It was also very helpful. Then I ordered her booklet, The Eleventh Hour, the Days and Hours Before Death, which was quite deep and comforting.

      Fuck cancer. Just found out that the only medicine that could work for him isn't and that his tumor spread. He hasn't been doing well and has gotten really weak (1.5yrs ago he could move a 200+ lb treadmill, now he needs a cane to walk). He also has been throwing up a LOT and he had fluid build up in his abdominal cavity. That's not uncommon for his cancer (bile duct that metastasized into his liver), but is still a VERY bad sign. So this wasn't surprising, but still disappointing. The tumor is also surprising blood flow to his liver, which, again, isn't great. We don't know how long he has left, but it's likely less than 2 years.

      It is fortunate for me and others in the States (2020) to have the opportunity to anticipate certain end of life decisions, under protection of law, and not be sustained alive when certain human qualities of life are no longer there for us as we individually choose to do. I can be let to die as per my medical directives and wishes and under hospice and palliative care under our medicare system. I am protected by documented medical directive from being medicated, intubated(tube fed), ventilated, or any other "...ated." And, I have the promise of managed pain care. Everything you bring out in this excellent line of end of life videos rings true. I managed my wife's (married 45 years) home hospice care for a year until she died in November, 2019. Now I have end stage cancer that blew up after my wife's death. ................I'm on the other side of the pond, but we all share a universal end of life experience and the emotions and attitudes that come with it The details may be skewed by our cultural separation, and though we may hurt differently, still, we hurt as deeply.

    My mum she passed away at 85 yrs. I felt she was passing away 2 weeks before. I informed all and Sundry that she was badly ill and comingbgto an end. Everyone concerned visited her and chatted with her. The last 3 days I chatted with her till dawn.
    Funny .. The day before she passed away. She was pointing to the corner of the room and to her chest and was challenging someone.. I felt as if that person had come to take her. I asked her what..
    She said " There is an Old man with a long beard and with a face of a small girl, he has come to take me..."
    I cannot forget this.. She gradually faded away and passed away the day after.

    I found this video a little comforting.? I wish I knew about this video months back. I lost my mom back in December of 2020 from dementia and my husband and I were caregivers and plus had someone from hospice come to our house and help us out and she was an angel. She made my mom so comfortable and that made me happy even though my mom had no idea what was happening. It is so sad when your love one is dying right in front of you and you feel so helpless but deep down you know you’re doing your best to help them in their last hours of their life. She was so advanced in her dementia and she was just day by day leaving us. We really didn’t when it all was going to happen but when it did you do gather strength for your love one. The reality didn’t really hit me hard yet because I don’t believe she has pass d on. I still feel her around but I guess it’s life and we do eventually move on. But the video did make me feel more comfortable about what was told. Thank you

    The continuation of life is REAL indeed.. Nothing to fear and comforting to know, we WILL after crossing over, experience the Light and Love of Jesus...and also our loved ones too.

    Covid prevented me to be with my mother when she died. I couldnt even attend her funeral. I'll never get over that.

      Some of these policies are too fucking cruel
