- Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Nick Reed & Ryan Azevedo, the film tells the story of activist and Claire’s Place Foundation Founder Claire Wineland through interviews and footage, exploring her fight with cystic fibrosis and how she has inspired millions to find purpose and to live proudly.
At 21 years old Claire had over 35 surgeries and spent thousands of hours in the hospital, but that is not what defined her.
In her own words, Claire shares her brave journey of facing unimaginable circumstances at a young age and how she became an advocate and activist for those living with terminal illness.

Dude this kid was something amazing. She talks as if she has lived 100 years.
An old soul
Yeah you could say that
She had to grow up sooner. Life was tough to her, so she had two choices, give up or keep moving. She did what lots of us still try to figure out. She lived her life to her fullest.
oSILENTDEATHo word
Imagine if she had.
She made it to 21 just like she wanted. I only wish it could've lasted longer. I cried for days when I heard you were gone. I miss you, Claire.
When I heard about it, it felt like a kick to the stomach... I felt like I'd lost a friend. I still tear up a bit when I hear her speak. She was wonderful.
I had the exact same experience...
I just cried and cried. I truly love and appreciate Claire so much. And she has truly changed the world. She is missed by so many people. I am so happy we all get to watch her videos. I am so happy to have been on the planet with her.
You know what's funny? As I got very emotional about it, I could feel myself feeling silly in a way, like I knew she would gently scorn her viewers for crying. She struck me as the kind of person who didn't want to be cried over, but you don't get to choose how you affect people in this world, and she reached a lot of hearts. I hope she's laughing and shaking her head at all of us down here.
@@RealElongatedMuskrat same, I felt her infectious silliness and when they had the text showing day of death and "21 years old" below, I expected it to say "never made it to the club." I think she would have laughed so hard about that.
Same i balled like a baby. She was an amazing young woman 💖💖💖
How do I miss someone I have never met? What a beautiful human.
A true angel...
Living testimony that they exist ❤
I miss her too. So much. I truly believed she would live through that transplant. I was heartbroken when she passed. She is/was an incredible human.
Me too. The older I get the more it makes sense.
Real. I miss her too.
As someone with CF, I can definitely agree on that. Sometimes, I wish that I had heard of Claire's story, prior to her death. She seems so much like a humble and understanding person, that who I could totally relate in a way. Amazing human being. She plays a fantastic role for the Cystic Fibrosis Community and beyond.
I never forget about her. I donated to her go fund me for her lung transplant, and I grieved when she died. I always come back to this channel and get a sense of gratitude in my life. Always get inspired to keep going.
First time I see her. I just watched 5 mins but she i am already so impressed by her, a lovely lovely lady.
@@user-mf5pc1xo9f same
I just feel so disgusted at how much I take my life completely for granted...
Noah Alexander Harris you’re not alone.. now I feel like I should do more with my life and take care of myself and not waste it
Xander Harris..you still have time..accept change and you will change..celebrate your life dude! I love u and wish you happiness and success😘😘
Xander Harris. Same. I complain that i am depressed and don't do anything with my life but wallow in my misery. Then you see a person like Claire and i feel so disgusted with myself for acting this way and not being super appreciative for everyday of my life and wasting it.
Ok
same
“Soo I’m dying...”
*sips tea*
“faster than everyone else.”
1:47 What and icon
@@sydneyking2714 An icon never die
Such a claire opening 😂
Still cracks me up every time!
that line hits me hrd.
When I see a person like Claire I am ashamed of my own silly wants and concerns. What a inspiration.
Me too. Makes me want to kick myself for complaining so much.
dont be ashamed, there are always people living better than you and it shouldnt stop you from being happy either
your feelings are valid, to want and to be concerned is deeply human
We are just human, we’re hardwired to want stuff and worry about stuff all the time because it has helped us survive. But when you take survival away from a person they suddenly stop worrying and start to live fully. We are all going to die one day and it might be sooner than we realize. Do everything in your power to get the things you want now because your time is limited.
I was just thinking the same thing
The fact that another person goes without food doesn't mean that you have to go without clothes. It's stupid to invalidate your own wants and needs because others are suffering more than you. You only have one life to live, and there will ALWAYS be someone that has it worse and better than you.
She did more for the world at 17 than most of us do at 40.
Well, she had more motivation, more courage, more help, and a good support system too. A lot of people don't have any of that.
I disagree. I've done more.
@@aarontoaletGood for you, you want a cookie?
@@aarontoalet Attention seeking isn't an achievement though.
@@krashd I just stated a fact.
In the hospital right now, I also have cystic fibrosis. We looked at her as a leader. It's been an honor to share genetics with her.
lasagnapapa Hope you’re alright and having a good time even though you’re there!
love you :)
I hope you’re okay
🙏
.. Live your best life. We love you
This is the reason RUclips was created, so people like her could share her life with us
Exactly! Well....that. And free music.
In all seriousness, she was an amazing person and the definition of inspiration. Kinda bummed I didn't know about her until today.
not really
@Michael Ross had to google what y t p ment......and I have to disagree with you. This girl was different. I watched alot of her stuff and it changed my view on life for the better. She is just lovely. Have you actually watched her stuff? By your throw away post it seems like you should.
It was created for fun videos
Hashtag EV no, no it wasn’t. it’s for people to post what they want. Claire found it fun to post youtube videos, so shush
I had breast cancer at 21. Claire's videos really helped me at that time. She's a true angel.
How are you doing now?
@embee5375 Hope you're doing okay???
@sky5609 @muhammadmajid2389 I'm just fine, thank you!!
@@embee5375 God bless you and wish you a bright 🌞
@@embee5375 good to know cancer sucks
She said it perfectly. Yes, we are all dying, only her being quicker than us. What a gifted speaker she was.
"When you pity people who are sick you take away their power." WOW!
C J so don’t pity people who are sick
Top qenell
When you pity people, in general, it may take their willpower away.
Jillian Paciello that is a very important detail. Very prevalent to what most feel. It is something they want heard.
I kind of need someone to explain me this..
Claire didn't die faster than us, she just lived faster than us.
Love this
Its a great comment, but the sonic avatar makes this a bit cursed
i mean she talked 1000 words a second so yeah. lol
Nicely said
Beautiful comment. She also lived larger than us and braver.
She's an angel who's touched a lot of lives.
That's the exact word that describes her❤
"Your health doesn't mean anything unless you're actually doing something with it."
That hit hard.
Her wisdom is beyond words❤
Her strength unimaginable
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
i smash. next question
@@sheedee2 Right? There are people who treat their bodies like a dumpster. If only they would realize how lucky they are and how precious their fragile bodies really are
When she said “I’m sad to go, but it is what it is. We’d have to leave anyway, eventually”
That put me at peace at the end of the video.
Me too, Emily, I always felt like Claire already new there was more. She was so wise, at such a young age.
@@catguthrie6264 She so was wise beyond her years ..if only we all learned something of that, earlier in our lives. Thank God for technology where we can still meet with these previous people who have passe in. Their legacy lives on.
this video is a hard one to watch affer a year i can sit and watch it with minimlal crying i use to not even be able to hear her voice or see her pic without crying for ever im a guy and idgaf i knew claire personally and as many people say i wish i knew her but it hurts me any way!!! imagine getting to know that angel then have hwr taken away and all the questions and thoughts being religious and how god works. its alot but i had to put my faith in him and let him guide me back and here i am still crying and missing my angel 😭😢😢
Is she alive still !?
יהודה no she passed september 2nd 2018
When she said “I hope I get passed 21”, that really hit hard cuz she passed away at 21 :(
I kinda hope she at least got to have that drink.
It’s kinda strange in a way that when she nearly died the first time she was able to talk about how this could be the end and she could feel that she was dying. When she actually died, there was none of that. She was happy and seemingly in good spirits. It’s kinda sad that her life didn’t end at her lowest moment but at a moment when she was happiest and looking forward to more things in life, when everyone around seemed the most optimistic about her life. She seemed like she was ready for the new lease on life and that she saw it as an opportunity to do more. Like she couldn’t wait. That’s when death came for her. At least there was little to no suffering.
Surgery is one of those things that scares me. I’ve had a few and never really thought about it much until I woke up in the middle surgery (they were far more surprised then I was). At the painkillers were still doing their thing. But I’ve heard so many stories about people going in for major and minor routine surgeries and some unexpected complication happens and their gone. For it seemed like the surgery went well and then she had a stroke while still under and never came out of it. Kinda scary.
Brother passed he had diabetes before 21
@@CamaroAmx I totally felt that, the passing at her happiest and more hopeful moments in her life makes me so sad, mad and in disbelief with life.
I'm just sitting here trying to accept the death of someone I never knew and never met, occurred two years and half ago.
I was going through my subscriptions and stopped in to check on the channel after a year and a half or maybe two. She's really gone?
@@wozing yes she died around the same time as my brother. He died at 20. He died from a genetic disease as well. Diabetes type 1.
Man. I just turned 21 today. I’m her age now. She makes me want to do more with my life.
After almost 5 years from her death still thinking of her. She was a truly inspiration, I’m struggling with finishing my studies in energy engineering, sometimes I feel like to quit but then I remember Claire’s words “ If you think you have something to give to the world try to put you in the position to do it”. I want to study to help the planet, to help people, to repair the damage people did to this planet. Claire helps me to think of my purpose in life and in the potential of just being alive ❤ Sending a lot of love for this angel from Italy, always in my heart ❤
Even though she didn't live long, she's lived life more than most people.
How so?
Wait did she die
topshot gamer yeah like 2 years ago I think
September 2018 she passed away shortly after her lung transplant, there was a blood clot after her surgery that deprived her brain of oxygen.
@@Christine_990 omg i have just watched her video titled " how it's like to die" and i got emotional and she really died after that omg i want to cry for the whole day
she was living proof that wisdom is ageless
Abigail Nicholas
Yes, yes it is.
Wisdom is experience
@@christophermcnamara5591 it is not only experience. it is a reflection of your existence and contemplation of where you are. Thus, you have to use deep thinking and pure reason in order to become a wise human being.
@@frederickwalzer5555 I'd say that you still need experience, as Cristopher mentioned. Wisdom is about aknowledging patterns, and patterns need time to manifest into your existance. However, if your IQ is high you can see this patterns earlier, I'd say Claire did see some of them earlier due to her intelligence.
Oh yeah. She carries and speaks with confidence.
Honestly I think the way she went peacefully knowing how many people were touched by her and sending $10 to 200k and getting her new lungs but also no suffering and no pain is quite beautiful. What she did with her life literally lives on infinitely, and she really did it. I will be rewatching this for a reminder every now and then. She really changed the world.
I for sure came back to this! 3 years later. 🙏🏼
I have never forgotten her and felt the need to rewatch her videos just now. I agree and will come back now and again💖 Claire is an Angel still here to teach and inspire 😇
After 5 yrs I've come back to watch this documentary again. This girl is so inspiring and beautiful inside and out. Such a special soul. I cry so much every time I watch this documentary. So many of us waist so much of our lives and Claire enjoyed every moment of hers.
Is she still Alive
Because she had a very close relationship with death most humans think they won’t die
Yes, waste our lives
Watching this makes me feel even more embarrassed and shitty for smoking cigarettes and ruining my lungs when this girl would have loved to have my lungs and wouldn't be taking them for granted. So today, I am setting a quit date and will stop smoking. Not just for me but for little Claire's all over the world. This chick touched my heart!!!
How has the beginning of your journey been going?
Addictions are difficult - and its a conversation of its own like this one in a many stories format. Claire actually caught me at one point (and I'm paraphrasing here) saying that everyone has the same pain, no matter who you are and your story. I think that spoke deeply on many levels there - I know for myself and family that addiction, whether considered small or large, is based on some sort of pain or problem, somewhere, deep down... you just have to dig - and yes it's often genetically driven, and yes it's a fucking terrible social enabler, but it also can route from things you don't realize at the moment.
Good luck with your journey - we're all on one in many ways, from cigarettes, to alcohol, to depression, to self hate, to personal joy and acceptance... accepting and working on it is the most beautiful thing you can do to yourself.
And Duct Tape Bandit (love that) - if you fail, just pick up and start again. Addictions are a life-long struggle (accept that now and it'll be easier), and when failure comes you should accept it, dont beat yourself up, and charge back up that hill.
Stay strong❤
You are so brave.. You can do it.
You can do it! Sucks at first but you'll get over it, I promise. I'm at about a year now and other than some weird dreams smoking doesn't really cross my mind
That we even shared the planet with her for a time....what a blessing
Its not fair. To think that some criminal is living past her is so...
@@fffernsw4dl539 ikr, if you ask me, people like Claire should be here longer, living way past 21, THEY'RE the ones who are supposed to live, not criminals like rapists, drug dealers, child abusers, child molesters, women batterers, animal abusers, etc, they're the ones who aren't supposed to be here, but no, it's always the brightest lights that burn the out the soonest 😭 I swear to God it's like the world doesn't want anyone to make it a better place, it's like nobody wants it to make it better, it's not fair
christina amen
This is inspirational and beautiful
I think shes dead now. N I think I said in front of everybody that I wanted to steal her sunglasses and asked for her sunglasses. I apologize for that. When my friend died she was dead on the carpet so I can say that you know this chicks dead she's dead who cares. To be honest I just don't care that she's dead. I don't feel anything. N yes I would steal her sunglasses, she doesn't need them anymore anyway.
I'm a 26 years old and I think I couldn't stop my tears for a full minute during this entire video. Not necessarily because I was sad and not because I felt pity, but because I felt so overwhelmed with how much she cared for others, for something bigger than herself. She sincerely wanted to make other people's lives better... which touched me deep inside.. I'm a medical graduate, and due to so many unfortunate circumstances I wasn't able to practice since I graduated. I've not felt like giving up even once and I'm trying to make my time and life worth it, which I also believe is by living and giving for something bigger than myself. I'm hoping that I'll be able to do that.
The other reason this touched me deeply is that I've a condition that have been affecting me quality of life for the past 4 years, and although it made me miserable, watching this made me realize that I can handle it much better than I'm doing...
I just wanted to write this so that one day I come back here and read this and remember how much I've learnt from such a story of this beautiful soul, and how much I was able to grow and help in that period of time.
Rest in peace, dear Claire...
❤
Dear beautiful human, I hope you find peace within yourself and are living the best of your life. It’s okay to be working on yourself. We can’t give what we don’t have, but it will get to a point that you realize you can give and be so much more. You just gotta try. Wishing you the best of luck in your healing journey. ❤
"The cure to illness, isn't actually anything to do with being healthy. Right, fixing yourself when you're sick has nothing to do with being healthy or fixing your body. Fundamentally what it has to do with, is fixing the way you view your part in society and in the world."
Damn what a powerful statement to make, and she's so right... That's some great wisdom from someone of her age, so mature. She is so well spoken it's super impressive. I teared up when she said that. That quote is so deeply rooted with power and meaning. Such a beautiful piece of wisdom from her.
She reminds me of the saying that the brightest lights burn the fastest
Gerard Scott omg ❤️
Slightly different phrasing.... Skip ahead to 2:26 ruclips.net/video/t5Oqf4NfAIk/видео.html
Yes!!
Very much so
The French mathematician galois is another example of that
If everyone had 1/1000th the optimism she had the world would be a much better place.
Does that mean she has the optimism for 1000 of us. If this is the case we only need 7.5 million people like her. I think we can do it.
Sometimes i feel like people that struggle usually have more optimism than the rest though, like they have that fight to get better and see things more clearly while people that live a comfortable life are more cynical and take what they have for granted, i know it's messed up but it can be like that. And i am sometimes guilty of it myself.
Well said
I saw this video in my feed and decided to watch it. This one click triggered so much. I didn't know Claire or her story yet, but from the first minute I felt what an amazing girl she was. Her videos are so real, it felt like I made a new friend. I can only look up to her positive mindset and her will to keep going. Her story has taken me tremendously. So sorry she is no longer around, because she is a bright spot for so many people. I am so happy that her story and amazing personality are being immortalized on RUclips. It is impossible to describe the impact Claire had on all of us. Thank you Claire!
I just found this video and it brought back so many memories and emotions from many directions. First, I worked as a nurse all my life. A few years on a pediatric unit taking care of CF kiddos. They were the best and at times, the most emotionally draining patients going from doing ok one moment to being critical the next.
Second, growing up I had a lot of respiratory issues. I would get bronchitis 4-6 times a year. When I was 50, I was diagnosed with COPD even though I never smoked a single cigarette or anything else in my life. I was put on a CPAP machine when I was 26 and by the time I was 50, my breathing was bad enough I was changed to a BiPAP machine.
Just seeing how excited Claire was to be getting a lung transplant, I was so happy for her. I had to stop the video for a few minutes after her surgery to dry my eyes 😢😢. God bless you Claire.
Everytime I get “bored” of life, I come back to these videos. She reminds me that life shouldn't be wasted.
wow!! so rightly said...
Me too♥️🙏
It not funny
@@kingpatrickodonnell9306
Who said that any of this is funny?!
Taking to each other you don't hypocrites
I literally was feeling so depressed right now. So i typed in "I NEED HELP" on youtube and this is what i got. I've literally been taking life for granted, locked in my room whole day watching videos on youtube thats absolutely not going to help me and i felt like giving up. But Claire's life brought some hope into my life. thank you so much for existing
Hey I’m glad you found this video and feel better. Hang in there friend!!
Hey man I hope you're okay I love you
im here if you need to talk
A lot of people understand what your going through I hope you know that and I hope your doing well
Adrian Allen Jr... We all do feel depressed so many times.. It is life, its not easy.. But remember when ever u feel alone, lonely, u feel so down,,, have on your mind tht someone else is feeling worst thn you.. And better days will come straight up never give up...
I’ve noticed over the years that young humans that encounter hardships early in life are the most make, level headed people out there. I feel like sheltering really stunts us to a significant degree. People like Claire really help put into perspective how much time we waste on telling ourselves that we can’t or we shouldn’t. Thank you Claire for reminding us that no matter what life is always worth living. ❤
I am absolutely heartbroken... I just stumbled across this lovely ladies channel and watched a video, this video came up on the sidebar and I was thinking "I really hope she's doing ok now" only to scroll to the comments and see that she sadly passed away. Life can be so cruel sometimes but it sounds like Claire lived her life on her own terms and faced each day with a smile. What an inspirational lady. Rest in peace beautiful girl.
It's wierd how badly you can miss someone you've never met. Rest in Peace angel
sounds problematic
Same. I still grieve her death, but I smile because she left something behind and gave her organs to those who were in need. This makes me more proud to be an organ donor, so I can hope I can save a life someday, if I am unable to be saved. RIP Claire, she has indeed earned her angel wings.
I followed her on Instagram she was so beautiful inside and so insightful and wonderfully mature for her age 😭
Claire you will never be forgotten and always loved and remembered wish l could have met you and l would have took you clubbing !!!!!!
yeah right, if she was healthy in your stupid classroom you'd had been ruthless with her 'cause she was prettier than you, fuck you
Claire's mom gave birth to the most beautiful and healthy mind in the universe
Shreya Shrestha
👍🏼
You say the right words.
She is also very beautiful in terms of physical feautures
so did yours.
@Sebastian Gonzalez hey, just sharing information: physical features means she is in good shape and eyes, nose, face, curves are all physical features which makes a girl beautiful, a woman beautiful and it all makes her, claire. It does not always mean sexually. Try to see/feel things more open and free. I am not here for any fight. Wish you a great time. Thank you.
I disagree
May 2023 ~ Interestingly, I found Claire's channel and her amazing story, through her Dad, John's RUclips channel. What an extraordinary woman Claire was and became in the short 21 years she was on the earth. Claire is an angel now - it seems the brightest lights are often taken too soon. I am touched by her life, her story and this documentary. With love & light ~ 🕊️
I was sobbing throughout this documentary. It really hurts to watch, but it is also beautiful. Thanks for what you’ve done for the world, Claire. You were an amazing human being and I will continue to cherish your wisdom in my life. Once again. Thank you.
40 minutes and my entire perspective on life has changed. That's how remarkable she was.
We idolize celebrities instead of this magnificent soul. Shame on us.
THIS! THIS IS SO TRUE and i wish more people would look up to those that inspire others instead of those looking for fame. I would love if they showed strong people like Claire in the news or for school documentaries so we can understand and learn more about these different conditions and the hurdles they have to pass daily.
What's a celebrity? All I see is rich pedophiles.
Amen Amen Amen.. The world we're living in, has got things upside down. Claire is an inspiration, I saw a few of her vids recently, her attitude, her ability, no actually her determination, to be positive no matter what, is awe inspiring. Her family are blessed to have had such a fantastic presence among them, and I'm sure they don't forget that for a moment. Love to them, especially Lil sis, in sure you miss her more than is possible to imagine.. But you guys.. You were blessed.. I don't know ANYONE as cool as Claire.. (sorry fam n friends, it's true though lol)
@BULLET BILL bitch im not shallow there are lots of good role models out there take beyonce or tinashe for example they are standing up for people who had no one stand up for them shame on you to try and scrutinize and be little other celebs and there not even celebs there people who are well known i mean yes there alot of bad celebs out there that people idolize but there are also alot of good people out there to idolize ,
Yes the girl had a disease she died from she impacted peoples lives, just like how other good celeb role models do
Why shame on United States I dont know what they did?
Clarie didnt play it safe. She didnt let the unfairness of life become an excuse for not giving her best. She truly lived and brought her best self in the difficult circumstances under which she spent her short time on the planet. Goddamn!! What a special human!!
What a beautiful young lady who possessed so much intelligence, courage, compassion and most of all the love of life every moment. Her parents were blessed to have such a wonderful daughter and friend as Claire was also so lucky to have parents like hers.
We all witnessed a living talking angel.....I will forever cherish her wisdom...
zelda fanz, you give too much credit to angels. She was so much more..
Creepy how your comment talking about angels has 666 likes. But anyway, Claire was a gift to this world. I’m so thankful I found her on RUclips. I’m sick so she definitely helped change my perspective on things. I wish there was more people like her.
zelda fanz Claire actually really hated being called an 'angel'. But you mean well
Also I'm proud of youtube for not making this RUclips red
Septic or monetized
YES!!!
Liz Mowrey we spoke too soon. I see a few ads on this video that shouldn’t have ads
MasterCobraGaming it is monetized.
VoiD I KNOW
I’m very touched by her, an angel, a philosopher, a beautiful poetic strong woman. She accepted what the world offered her and created more love and understanding of what life means in such a short time.
Claire was a wonderful and enlightened soul, but we should never forget the suffering and the sacrifice that her parents went through. I cannot imagine the pain and the hardship they endured during all of this, but they did. They stood besides her through all of it and did a wonderful and amazing jog. My heart goes to you.
This has been up for two days and only has 100k views and all that’s been donated is $37????????????? But jake Paul and tana charge $50 to live stream their wedding and make 3 million off of it? People need to wake up. RUclips needs this to be trending right now.
Special Agent Dana Scully share this everyone
totally agree with your comment.
I totally agree with you one hundred percent...its really sad..Claire is such an inspiration to us all...I am going to share it everywhere I can...priorities are all messed up! Xo Hydie 💟
Sadly this is the kind of world we live in..... This video would help so many people.❤
It was just suggested to me. The RUclips algorithms are annoying. Wish I knew when it was released.
She would not want us to pity her, that was the one thing she hated. Instead of talking about how she died, let’s talk about what she did with her life, the millions she inspired, and her impact on the world. Claire, you will never be forgotten.
indeed my friend
I didn't know she died. I'm crying now. I went to the comments first, I don't know if it said it in the video.
exactly
@@iheartgallavich7114 gawd i remember seeing this for the first time, having watched it midway, and then going through the comments I just thought 'no, no, no! This can't be!' It was the worst.
Yeah...talk about how she lived 😊😊
It's a shame I'm just now meeting this beautiful soul! I yelled at my screen "NO!!!" when those words popped up on my screen "Claire passed away peacefully on September 2nd" My heart is in my stomach even though it has been 4 years 😢
watching this always get me in tears because how someone who lived a short and limited life have such an incredible life and so proud of it and had given so much voice for herself?
I took about ten seconds to realise this women is beyond amazing.
craig dempsey was.
I wish I could have met her, been a friend. What a soul. If Heaven truly exists, she is there.
That's all it took for me too. I randomly came across her video of "What it's like to die" yesterday, or it came up on my suggested videos, idk why a video like that came up, But I guess I was meant to see it. So, Anyway, at first I put it on the watch later list, and later on I was watching another video on the list and when it ended, it automatically went to her video and started playing. I almost turned it off and was gonna put off watching it till later again, but after about 10 or 20 seconds of hearing her speak, I was just so taken in and interested in what all she had to say, so, I couldn't turn it off. I had to keep listening to her. What a wonderful young lady and beautiful soul she was. Such an inspiration to so many and she did so much good and made the best of life she was given while battling such a horrible disease. I want to watch more and more of her inspiring videos. It broke my heart when I found out that she passed away and I've been sitting here balling my eyes out watching this documentary. RIP Claire beautiful angel.
@@nicoleangel4383 what an amazing angel she is. SO SO SO WISE BEYOND HER YEARS. A modern day Mother Teresa. She was sad she couldn't stick around to do more and she didn't realize she did more than anyone ever could have. I'll never forget her story and life.
Is she still living??
That day I really wanted to die, or I thought I wanted. I googled "what it feels like to die" or something around those lines and Claire came up as a ray of light. She helped to get throught that day and her life made me try harder to stay here.
Thank you, Claire. You gave this world more meaning. I never knew you, but I love you.
Stay.
this made me physically sob, you are worth it i love you

You are wanted. you are needed. Please stay, even when it is dark, just wait one more minute, one more hour, one more day. Stay, you have so much to give.
Same
The amount of bravery and positivity this person had, it really makes you look at how lucky you are. I have a ton of health problems myself, but nowhere near what they had to go through daily.
Oh man Im glad I found this. What a powerful young woman. I know of CF and looking at the date this was posted , I had a feeling she'd have passed by now. I almost didn’t watch because I didn't feel like being sad. After doing some quick research I did learn of her passing before this doc was even uploaded but I also learned a bit of her personality and mission and...there was literally no way I could pass up on this after knowing how badass this girl was. Regardless of the sadness of knowing someone _this amazing_ is no longer here.
I needed this now more than ever, even a year later she is still impacting my life just as greatly as she did when she was here. We love you endlessly Claire
Has it really been a year??
@@emilym7251 It feels like it was just last week :(
I have grown so so much, mentally and spiritually this past year, all thanks to Claire ❤
@@emilym7251 This was released on the one year anniversary. The movie shows this at the end.
Did she die or something
@@safiiii9188 Yes, sadly this world lost an angel last year, but her inspiration is going to live on forever.
She was wise beyond her years. A natural born leader and blessing to the world.
She was god sent
@@BBoysLibya she died 2 years ago
@@idkjules7167 damn... she is in a better place for sure
I wonder how many CF patients get told that.
My friend was told that a lot. I guess something about being told "you probably won't survive the next 2-5 years" early on since childhood and for the rest of your life causes you to approach life in a different way.
@@BBoysLibya And she left the world a little bit of a better place too. : - )
I come back regularly to Claire's channel and especially this documentary. She's been a real inspiration to me and I think of her often. Today, I even told about her story to my little brother. I was showing him a song from Gregory Lemarchal so he asked me about that illness... And I talked about Claire and how strong she was.
She actually changed the lives of real people and she will still live long in our heart.
Love from France
Fly high and breathe easy, Claire. You changed the world.
She Shure did 🙏🙏🙏 RIP beautiful Claire 💔💖💕✨💫
When I saw that she passed away on the 2nd of September, then I realised it was the 2nd of September, i cried 😭
It's been a year? Fuck I'm gonna go cry now... it passed so quick
Omg :(
She passed away on my birthday now its a tradition everyear i rewatch all her videos 2 year now 💖 we miss you claire we miss your wisdom even more
it’s been a fucking year? oh my god
How the hell has it been a year?! Feels like she just left
At this point I don’t even remember the number of times I’ve watched this documentary but it just never gets old. Claire’s words will last forever and continue to change lives. I just wish she could be here to see just how inspired she has made us all feel. A million thank you’s aren’t enough to express my gratitude. You were beyond brilliant, Claire. 🫶🏼
WOW just discovered her,,, we need more people like her on this planet,,, unbelievable how strong she was,,, hope you still happy in that new world,,, where ever you are !!! Thank you for sharing your life with others who struggle,,, who does not have the strong power you had,,, you have helped so many people ! Beautiful !
I can't believe she is gone.. It's just.. the world is missing a wonderful person.
MissTotos point being, she made us all realize that there are many wonderful humans on this planet. And the sick ones and the suffering ones have A LOT more to contribute with.
She taught us that you can create the most beautiful art, be the most connected with humanity, if you have suffered.
She is gone, but she left a huge piece of herself behind.
Preach I’m sad
Omg!! She passed?! Omg 😭
Emo Tacos I’m sad too
I cried so hard last year when I saw she had passed. The world truly got a lot gloomier when her wild flame burnt out. She was genuinely 1 in a billion.
This girl was a gift from god
I'm an atheist and even I can't disagree
The secret is that we all are.
The gift to us from Claire is that she made more of us aware of it.
Thank you Claire.

...Somehow I just knew you'd be coming along sooner or later.
@Tron Nort You know her friends and family probably read the comments, right? Have some compassion and basic decency.
@Tron Nort cringe
I came across the 'I need help video' some months back. It came back in my youtube feed again and this time I paid close attention to it which led me to this video. What a wonderful person she was. She stirred many emotions in me as I need a kidney transplant and have been on dialysis 14 years. I hope that I can absorb some of her inspiration about living life in the now.
2023 and i still come here to be inspired by you Claire. Thank you.
the night before her transplant i was on her live for hours, watching her answer questions (including mine) and talk about life. it’s so crazy and upsetting to me to think she’s never going to do it again and i catch myself thinking about those hours a lot. miss u claire
Is there anywhere where we can find it? 🙁
@Mallory Bedney Wow :( Hope they can be retrieved somehow, you never know.
Thank you for sharing this anecdote though Elle, it makes me happy that she could do this shortly before her surgery ❤️
Mee too, It was an Instagram live, She was so funny and candid, never going to forget It, She is the epithome of dignity 💞
Mallory Bedney
I guess not many watched? If there was, there should be someone out there that recorded it while it was happening.
Mallory Bedney
What did you imagine you had in common?
My beautiful daughter passed away when she was 14. She taught a lot of people. God bless you, angels. I almost died of sorrow, but now I live in her honour.
My condolences
❤️
Sending you love ❤️ you’re so strong 🙏🏽
❤️🌎💜✌️
Im sorry :(
To have that, to go through what she did, yet still exude such amazing positivity and have such a determination to make a difference is absolutely incredible.
What a brilliant person. So sad at her passing but inspiring and happy how positive she was. Massive respect to Claire and her family xxx
"I can't spend the rest of my life waiting for someone to give me permission to live a life that I'm proud of" - Claire Wineland
The first video I ever saw of Claire was her "What it feels like to die" video and the reason I came upon that video is because I had depression and was looking up ways to hurt yourself without leaving marks or how to die an unpainful death. I'm forever grateful that I stumbled upon Claire because her insight into the world enlightened me and changed my whole view on life and she essentially saved my life.
She has done more good than she could have ever known. I understand completely, I came from the same place. I'm glad your still here.
I sincerely hope you are doing better now!♡
JennaMay410 That’s how I found her too. I wish I could trade my life with hers, she had so much to live for.
God sends these stars(biblical reference you’ll know what I’m talking about if you study spirituality) in the world. They come to say what they have to say and go quickly. She’s one of them.
That is also one of my favorite videos of her. I love how she's so inspiring but grounded at the same time.
RIP. This is beyond inspirational. I have never heard anyone speak so frankly, and captivatingly about anything... let alone their impending death from a horrible illness. I only found this channel recently through the documentary but Claire, you were truly destined for greatness and you touched the hearts of millions during your time on Earth and this legacy will be immortalised for years to come!
By chance I saw the IG profile that mentioned Claire’s story and watched the documentary. It was touching. Honestly, I’m glad she didn’t have to experience the pandemic, isolation, and now the current climate of the world. It’s ruthless more and more everyday. She passed peacefully and as a hero. Such an intelligent mind, truly unforgettable. Tomorrow is the anniversary, I hope you are resting well and shining light to your family and friends Claire.
When she was 13, she was 31
When she was 15, she was 51
When she was 19, she was 91.
She lived a life of meaning and purpose that virtually no one her age can possibly compare.
Best coment. I think the same!
Yes! There's dog years and now there's Claire years!
I know right she figured things out in a quarter of what it took me and then some
Exactly, which makes it ironic that people fucking look down on sick/disabled people, when they are clearly some of the most mature, smart people from their life experiences. Perfectly able-bodied people wouldn’t be able to fathom it.
Ok so I’m not tryna be disrespectful but I think you think that wise ness comes with age which is not true because I mean Claire obviously showed us that I just feel like people think that in order for you to be wise you have to be old I honestly hope you can see where I’m coming from
I sat here in tears as I watched this with my 8 month old daughter with cf as she coughed her little cough. As a parent to such a special little life, Claire inspires me even now to build this same fire within my little Phoenix. I hope that I can live up to that. Breathe easy, Claire. Rest in peace.
💛
Thank you 💜
Phoenix is such a beautiful name for your little warrior ❤️
@@macsaucee4447 thank you!!!
New medicines are being developed at lightning speed right now for this and other diseases. It is an awesome time to be alive. I truly believe your daughter will live a normal lifespan with the new treatments that are available now, like Vertex, and the new treatments that will become available in the next 10 years.
I just came across this channel randomly and watched her story. She’s such a fighter and such an inspiration to so many people, and I was so sad to hear that she had passed away too soon rest easy in heaven, knowing how much you’ve inspired so many people.
4.5 years and I still come back when I need inspiration, and clarity 💞✨ thank you Claire
The most sad part was when she thought she was going to live finally with a transplant, that's when she died. That broke my heart into pieces.
Ugh how sad. Received a double lung transplant and died from a stroke shortly after. That is so sad and tragic but I’m glad she made these videos to inspire others
It’s so unfair but sadly I believe her purpose had been completed - she came here and shared her story and impacted so many people. Sadly, that was her purpose and why she was here (not the entire purpose but I’m keeping this short)
My heart broke
@@jules4080 I have to agree and unfortunately it was time for Claire to go home she completed her work on Earth in her very short lifetime 💕
i was watching this with hope for this person and then ....... read this 😭
*Don’t regret she died, be happy that such a mortal soul was alive*
Wait she died...?
@@waitaseq8833 2018 actually
She's gone????
The Mango yeah she was gonna get a lung transplant but there was a complication. she passed almost a year ago 😔
Its a relief to know she is watching over us, she is missed blessings
Claire, you're no longer with us but you've made an impact, on everyone. This broke my heart but you certainly, certainly have inspired me and millions of others. Job well done, Young Angel... Job well done!
It is an absolute blessing that she has had such an impact for so many people including myself. My oldest sister had CF and passed away at the age of 8 & 1/2 years old but from everyone that knew her always says that her goal was to make sure everyone around her was happy. RIP Claire you are still greatly loved & missed. You continue to change the world more than you know.❤❤❤
knowing she’s already passed makes this so hard to watch
💔❤
zBash i didn’t know and I can tell you, it’s horrible too because when she said « I’ve got my lungs!! » I was so smiling and happy . Right now? Crying my f**** heart out 😭😭😭😭😭 she was an angel on earth 🌍
zBash oh my god i didn’t even realize that she passed 🥺 i used to watch her and be like you’ll make it , now she’s gone :( i watched her every time she uploaded 😔
But she left a legacy, is an inspiration. Her story is always here and who knows, it could save others..
“You don’t have to find out you’re dying to start living “
I ran into Claire's story by chance and I am glad that I did and seen a lot of her videos and watching someone who died was difficult especially watching Claire (such a inspiring person). Seeing her and hearing her voice I felt sad at first but it wasnt sadness it was something diffrent, that I cannot put into words. At first I felt anxious about life and at some point hearing her voice was difficult. With help of her I got through it. She lived fully and she was happy. You are my inpiration Claire. RIP
I found Claire’s channel and started watching her journey, not paying attention to how old the videos were. One day I stumbled onto a video that was unexpected, I learned she was already gone. I cried for hours. The pain of it, from someone I never met, was incredible. I am so sorry you had to leave, Claire.
“Health doesn’t mean anything unless you’re actually doing something with it.”
Wow...
"I'm hoping I get past 21"
O sweetheart we love and miss you everyday
I'm 25 going for 26 we'll get there
We do lover her🧡
When did she past away?
Faryal Qadri 2018
She did get past 21, she keeps living through her videos. Her videos will be here, forever in the internet. She keep inspiring people through her videos, and i'm so proud of her 🥺
I miss you Claire, your wisdom was one of a kind. I followed your journey for so long and so wished and hoped and prayed you would be able to make it on the other end of this disease. It’s so sad that you got SO CLOSE and lost your battle. I miss you so much.
I loved watching her videos. What a sweet girl and only two years older than myself. I find myself tear up every time I see a video about her, she would’ve been 26 years old in 2023 but she seemed like such a fighting spirit. She was an incredible inspiration to never take life for granted and to take advantage of the opportunities given to you. Rest in Beautiful Peace, sweet soul❤️
A year has passed and this Angel forever lives on in our minds and hearts. A true inspiration.
I remember Claire's last Instagram stories. She was so happy and so excited to get new lungs and to have a chance to live a bit longer. I was so happy and was waiting to see her again. Then 4th September on my birthday they announced her death and I felt so empty and cried so much. Thank you so much for everything Claire.
I know. That's why we're all crying cause in the end it wasn't even BECAUSE of what she had that caused her death. It should've been the new beginning...not the end.
your birthday?? omygosh I'm so sorry that it had to happen then
My birthday is also september 4th the day they announced her passing. I was in the hospital battling my own terminal illness when she passed.. Its all so familiar to me. I love her and i cant wait to finally meet her.
@@slipdripdrop6929 hey, I just wanna say I love you. Hope you find your peace and happiness. P.s. it's almost our birthday so happy birthday dear Samantha
@@baguettebtch it's okay as I accepted that we can not really control things to go our way 💛
Randomly fell over this video on RUclips and my heart is broken with a smile :)
She is/was so beautiful inside and out. It is so crystal clear that she loved life and lived it more than most in her own way. A true inspiration to us all
Oh my god, I just cried realizing this video is from almost 5 years ago. What a great and brave girl she is. Thank you, Claire, for setting up an example. That helped a lot 💖
Her personality is so infectious....i could listen to her all day.
It’s funny. In the beginning I thought she was a little bit of a bitch, but then as the video went on, I started to understand her and then like her. Her personality grew on me pretty quick.
Infectious is not a really good word for this video
28 seconds in and I had to pause it, I’m already tearing up...
Bartosz Bartosz it takes strength and humility to admit vulnerability
Claires story just came acros my instagram feed and I had to watch this beautiful and so inspiring documentary . I never knew of Claire until the last 40 or so minutes . I am so so grateful to have watched her life story and her heart felt inspiration way of living every moment to her ultimate best . I cried alot as I can resonate with having a terminal illness as I also have cystic fibrosis and I was very lucky to have recieved a successful double lung transplant eleven years ago . Very grateful to Claire words of inspiration to " Live a life you can be proud of" . So glad I got to know your story and I will always remember Claire and her story as it helps transform so many lifes today and will continue to do . Rest in peace Claire 🦋
Im glad I came across this video! Claire your work has not gone unnoticed you're an inspiration you're the definition of a warrior. You will forever be remembered.
All I can vision is Claire being wherever she is, walking up on what could be a mountain, and smiling and then taking a deep breath in, and just looking so peaceful and relaxed knowing that she did it. she did something for people.
What a lovely comment!
Reese Monster ❤️❤️❤️
