    My grandmother raised me. She passed at 90yrs. I promised her and myself I’d be there until her very last breath and I really was. I was caressing her face while listening to her heart through a stethoscope. I was able to hear her very last heartbeat. Im honored I was able to be there with her when she left. RIP my sweet grandma❤️

    Eight months ago my entire life was the same way it always had been. I was about to graduate high school and I was gonna play college football. Six months ago I went to go see a movie with my father (whom I saw every weekend and summer for the last 18 year.) I could see he lost a lot of weight and began to worry. A month later we flew him out to Michigan to be with family so he could get back on his feet medically and financially. Two weeks later he told me he had terminal cancer and had 1-2 years left. I spent the summer with him and put college on hold so I could spend time with him and take care of him. He died this last Monday exactly 5 months after he had been flown out to Michigan. It’s been the most heart breaking thing I have ever had to deal with. My chest feels like it’s being weighed down by a car and I lose my breath when I remind myself that he is gone. His funeral is in 8 hours. Never take the ones you love for granted. I love you dad, you were my best friend.

    I've seen this happen with three people, three different ways.
    First, was my mother's mom.
    Cancer. We struggled for months with the doctors, the chemo changing her, and the family battles. She was angry, irritated all the time. My mom stayed by her side the entire time. I was 6 years old, and had just started the first grade. My mother held her hand as she took her last breath. I'm typing this 11 years to the day later.
    Second, was my father.
    I was 13. It was March 24th, 2016. it was my last year of middle school. My dad was the kind of guy that refuses to go to the doctors. After 13 days in the hospital, they realized he was brain dead, a rare fungal infection called Aspergillosis had taken him. He was an HVAC worker, had his own business, a wife and a daughter. He got infected with the aspergillus fungus when he was working on someone's house during allergy season. My mother and I remember him saying he saw black mold growing. This was during allergy season. Long story short, it went to his lungs and eventually his brain. He wasn't the best parent, but he was my dad. I was the last person he talked to before he went into a coma. His last words were "I love you." The first day he went into the hospital, he told my mother and I to spend time together, and we now realize that he knew. I held his hand as they turned off the machines.
    The third was one year and 360 days later, my mother's father. Cancer again. In 2017, we moved in with him because we couldn't keep our old house without my dad. He refused chemo, remembering what it did to his wife. I remember when they called Hospice. He was high off the morphine all the time, glassy eyes, speaking nonsense. He was aggravated that morning because his chest hurt. A few weeks before, the cancer took the right side of his lung and was hurting his heart. I was horribly ill that day, I had a fever of 103, but I didn't care. My mother held him as his heart stopped, we were so scared. My mom had called 911, but he had an order saying not to help him. We hoped he would make it through March. He died at the same time my father was ruled dead, 4:48pm.
    Death is unavoidable, but it comes in many ways. I lost three people within a decade, but that wasn't the end. My mother was an orphan and a widow. I lost the connection with my father's side of the family, as they treat me and my mother as outcasts. I realize that you never get over death, but you do come to terms with it and find peace.

    Please keep in mind that palliative care doesn’t always mean end of life care. I have Sickle Cell Anemia and I’m on palliative care at 32 years old. I’m not dying (at the moment lol, but we’re all actively dying day by day 😅) but my illness *IS* life threatening, I’ve almost died several times from SCA.
    Palliative care can start at the time of diagnosis on wards, whereas hospice care starts when treatment is stopped and is no longer working for the patient and it’s clear they’re going to die. But I guess like the video says, how can one be absolutely sure someone is going to die? Someone can pull through and then oh, oh my gosh golly, it’s a miracle!
    I know I can’t speak for others, but I can speak for what I’ve been through. Just know that it’s not always for someone at the end of their life and can also be for people with illnesses like mine that require treatments to stay comfortable with pain they experience, the stress from what is happening to them, and to get a team involved in your care. And with everything that’s going on with the medical community and with it getting harder and harder to get your pain meds unless you have cancer (happening in my area now), it takes a toll on us. But I wanted to mention that. Thanks!

    I used to drive people who were very ill to hospices and hospital for end of life care. It's so difficult to get your head around this small Child in your Ambulance who is dying, but what amazed me was the braveness I saw from them and their relatives, it's like they have totally accepted their fate. This was my experience of most dying people, and my experience of hospices for dying with dignity (especially Children's hospices) was they are cheerful and amazingly happy places. I was terrified on my first trip...but come out feeling uplifted.

    My sister's one year death anniversary is coming up. My advice for people, treat your loved ones as if it's the last time you're going to see them. I was aware of that most of her life and when she died last year, my very last words to her was "If you need help, call me and I'll do my best to be there". Not much of a last words I'm sure, but I do know if she had called, even if it was in the middle of the night, I would have immediately drove over to where she is and helped her out. With that thought in mind, I always did my best to help her, no matter how angry I got at her. The point is, when she died, I do not regret how I treated her. I have her last Christmas card that summed up on how I treated her. The only thing negative thing I have is that from time-to-time, I miss her but I'm glad she's no longer here so she won't have to suffer anymore.

    My grandmother fell down the stairs and broke her leg a few years ago. While recovering the doctors discovered she had bone cancer. At first, they were optimistic and said she’d recover in about 6 months. A few days later, she only had a couple months to live. Then, back to her recovering. Then they discovered the cancer had spread to her blood. At this point, she was delirious. Mumbling random things and talking nonsense. She was coherent about 20% of the time. Towards the end, she was completely gone. Whipping her head back and forth in agony, constantly calling out for my grandfather. His heart couldn’t stand seeing her like this and he had to leave. The doctors said she wouldn’t make it past the next morning. I went and said my goodbyes. I don’t know if she heard me or understood anything, but that was the last time I ever saw her.

    I watched my dad pass away after a seven-year extension beyond expectation. He had two types of fungal meningitis, and seven years before he passed, he stared having symptoms and wandered off in his confusion. His symptoms flared up often in the first six years, and the last year he had a steep, speedy decline. He passed surrounded by his family: me, my mother, my brother, and his (dad's) brother.

    Thanks for this, as a hospital chaplain it rings true. I will add the doctor provides the diagnosis; however, there is a much larger team around that supports the patient and family. Nurses, social workers, physical/occupational therapists, nursing assistants, and chaplains. I have helped doctors have these conversations and helped the doctor put words to the hard truth of and end-of-life decision.

I was with him when he went into the hospital but i didn't realize that he wasn't going to leave it alive because 3 months later 1 week before his birthday(2 weeks before mine) he pass while in hospice with my mom by his side.
    Me and my 2 younger brothers weren't there but when my mom called us we drove as fast as my car could go to be there by his side.
    It tough losing someone especially when they mean so much to you.

    As a nurse of 40+ years who has been with hundreds of dying patients, sometimes dying is a very private thing. I have seen many a patient hold on to life until the family leaves the room before they die. It might also be worthwhile to share, especially for those facing decisions about IVs and feeding tubes: they’re not dying because they’re not eating, they’re not eating because they’re dying. There. Ones a time when things of this earth are no longer important to a person who is preparing to leave it.

All I can say is be there for the person, stay positive. I was fortunate to be there when he passed. It gave me peace of mind that he wasn’t alone. During is last minutes of life I had family tell him their final goodbyes over speaker. it was so hard to leave him afterwards, I spent a few hours holding his hand. I still can’t believe he is gone.

    Quite often, people hang on living in pain because they think that’s what the family wants them to do. They may not want to be alive, but they feel obligated. If you tell them something like “if you want to go on fighting, we’ll all do everything we can to help you, for as long as you want. But if you’re tired and you want to leave us, that’s okay too. Either way, we love you and we only want you to be happy,” it can remove a lot of anxiety and guilt in the final days or hours of their life. I’ve done this with 4 family members and I know they were much more at peace when they finally did move on. Start off by telling them how much you love them and how grateful you are to have had them in your life.

    It took my Mum 23 Years to die after her "6 months to live" diagnosis. When she did finally pass I was with her. When I was at the funeral home I found a booklet" the signs and symptoms of death" , really at the funeral home after she was already gone I find a booklet telling me the symptoms of the end. 1. sleep more in irregular patterns. Check. 2. Begin talking or reminiscing about the past. Often wanting to talk about family or friends that passed prior. Check. 3. Discover that foods that were once loved are no longer palatable and or stop eating . Check. the list went on and on with the symptoms I missed cause no one told me what to look for. The Day before she slipped into a coma she was talking about grocery shopping, getting a hair cut, going to visit my Brother. 3 days later she was gone. Death is something no one wants to talk about but everyone needs to.

The person we classify as "dead" will never feel any of the turmoil or emotional upheaval we have all come to associate as the inevitable consequences of "death". In reality, for all we know, they could be experiencing happiness and joy of the likes of which they never even came close to experiencing during their entire time on earth.

She was unconscious but the nurse told me she could still hear, so I sang our old favorite Queen songs to her, kissed her on her head and told her "Love you momma, I'll see you again tomorrow" little did I know that would be the last I saw her alive. My point is that even though I wasn't there for her in her final moments and say goodbye I still had closure knowing she heard me tell her how much she ment to me. That's been 6 years now, the pain of missing her is still there but I'm living my life and moving forward like she wanted me to.

I had to make the decision between having my dad live a month in pain or a week in comfort. I chose the latter. He lived a week in hospice. If I hadn’t had a nurse tell me that we were in the end, I would’ve chose the former and prolonged the outcome. A man that dies at twenty and one at ninety have both lost the same thing. Death smiled at us all. All a man can do is smile back

    The end made me cry a bit. My grandpa passed away this February after a 3 year battle with terminal colon cancer. He went through stages of seeming cured, only to suddenly relapse hard. We were told in January he had 6 months left. He died on February 18th. He was in hospice care in our home because he wanted to die surrounded by family and those he loved. My brother was the only one home. I left at 10 am that day to be with my friends, and he passed almost immediately after I left. I've had severe regrets all year for the fact I wasn't there with him like he wanted. Just hearing someone say not to hold onto those regrets meant so much. He was loved until the very end

      Im really glad you understood not to regret someting you really couldn't change. You had to leave at some point and that definitely doesn't mean that you care about your grandpa any less.

    One of the most genuine video about the edge between life and death. That's the reason i am a huge fan of infographics. Keep the great work of spreading knowledge which is the ultimate key 🗝 for life.

      Sorry for your lost. So sad and I don't get how can people die so fast from a terminal Ill? Or was he in pain for a long time before he found out he was going to die?

    I did not expect this video to hit me as hard as it did. A little over a month ago now, I lost my cousin, my best friend and my brother, to a 5 year long battle with leukemia. The wound is still immensely fresh and this video just split it wide open. The video is right, being there when the end happens or not is completely random chance. Fortunately for my mother, my father and I, we were all in the room as we watched his heart stop beating. Unfortunately, his girlfriend, who was also in the same hospital, wasn't. She was on the 4th floor while we were on the 3rd, and I had to go deliver the news. Death is never ever an easy thing to deal with, especially when it's someone close to you. I've been dragging, slowly but surely, everyday since then, just trying to get by. The best thing to do is, as they said in the video, try to move on and live a happy life. I'm trying very hard to do that myself with the thought that he's no longer suffering and is able to live the life cancer took from him.

    When my grandmother passed away I wasn't informed till she was already unconscious, I never really had that chance to say goodbye when I saw her. I recently found out that my father has opted out of treatment and I'm personally taking as much time as I can tobe with him, when I am not working and such, I'm just glad in knowing that this time I not only have the opportunity to say goodbye but just the ability to spend time with him in general. Honestly, I think the hardest part of all this is just seeing someone that's always been just a big guy become so week and fragile.
