  • Jessica Stansell-Aiyegbusi spent her childhood in the foster care system, so she grew up determined to become the parent she never had. After becoming a mother to five kids of her own and a mother figure to countless others, it all took a turn when she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. Realizing her time on earth was limited only strengthened Jessica’s enduring message that the key to life is love.
    Travis Flores was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was only four months old. Having grown up with a terminal prognosis, Travis defied the odds by publishing his own children’s book at thirteen, becoming an advocate for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and starting a social movement called #YellowHeartSquad to help people around the world find inner happiness.

    I just was given a chance of a second life 2 wks ago... I received a new liver. My donor was only 10 years old. I am 37. Please God I realize how much I need this to enjoy what I hope is a new chance at really enjoying life. Travis' story touched me.

      I'm not trying to be rude&I'm terribly sorry for what you're going through but I'm going to be bluntly honest and say that from this comment..I don't get the sense of gratefulness..its more of entitlement. I could be very wrong...I'm just saying, the tone of this comment is definitely one of "I need this SO I can enjoy life& be happy" not one of "I'm grateful for this and am choosing to live in joy, happiness,& love NOW".. Dont wait to enjoy what you hope is a second chance at life... choose to enjoy life right now whether it's the 1st, 2nd,10th, or last chance at life..cuz the reality is, this is everyone's last chance at life..we all only get one life to live. Wake up&make the choice to live it in joy, happiness,&love & that's what you will get.. wake up and choose to live feeling sorry for &pitying yourself,&well, that's what you'll get.

      @@marioncaffroy7045 obviously I am more then grateful for what I was given. That anniversary will always be bittersweet
      I have to acknowledge that this is what the family chose. And for that there is no amount of saying thank you that could equal how much I am. Yes I consider very lucky that by c chance I was dying enough to get listed but healthy enough to live... I also know what I would've gone through before I passed away and it's ugly and uncomfortable. I'm Grateful for everything this has given me even with setbacks. Little things we take for granted like enjoying food. Or knowing my son so happy just knowing I lived. Maybe you interpreted my message that way because I am happy it all happened so fast. Idon't see anything wrong with being happy that I no longer feel like I only have a few months left. If Im allowed to I plan on writing the family. Of my donor.

      When you're given a death date and want to live there is no giving up. You have to find peace that no matter what it is out of your control so you can be positive and follow dr's orders or be depressed. If t this is what the family wanted I feel like I'm allowed to be super happy I got a second chance

    I lost my 8 year old son 6 years ago to brain cancer. I watched him slowly whither away in a hospital bed…. even though it was terminal, he never knew he was dying… I just didn’t have the heart to tell him. I knew he wouldn’t understand… he would’ve been afraid…. cried and begged us to stay ….He always thought he was getting better. He never asked so we never lied. I have lived with so much guilt and regret over the years, looking back, I question every decision I ever made… but that’s not one of them. I miss him so much. Words could never describe the pain of watching someone you love with all your heart and soul slowly slipping away from you…. suffering in unimaginable ways and knowing there’s absolutely NOTHING you can do to change the outcome…..there’s no bargaining, no wishful thinking, no miracle just around the corner…. Soon, all you’ll have left is a lifetime of wonder…. thoughts of what might have been.

While fighting stage III breast cancer I can remember my six year old baby girl loading all of her stuffed animals in my bed to keep me company while she went to kindergarten. The second she got home they were thrown on the floor and she'd spend the day playing next to me in bed while I slept. She was such a little soldier, so strong. She's sixteen now and still the light of my life. I thank God I can be here for her.

      Me too - crying like a baby over here!! I know how unfair it all is, the most precious, good people seem to get the hardest breaks - but I truly believe there is purpose and power in suffering. Mother Angelica once said, "if we knew how much power suffering holds, we would COVET it!" I don't know if I'd ever covet it, but I think great grace and strength come out of our most painful experiences, not just for ourselves but for others, but still when I see stories like these so up close and intimate it just hurts so much! 😥And makes me want to never take anything for granted.

    I am balling my eyes out right now... this is making me realise I don't want to die alone. I am a survivor or childhood trauma and never had a family. I am 46, and I am giving my everything to heal from a chronic immune situation. The person in my life isn't what I expected... over 10 years younger... doesn't look like I expected... but for some reason...I am feeling he was sent to give me a loving family and finally a beautiful heart. I am so glad she had the family she has. I don't have that...but I might get the chance with this person and his family.

    I used to be bitter about stupid little things, jealous of those who had more than me and a general pain in the arse. Four years ago I was diagnosed with two types of EDS and then severe psoriatic arthritis. My mobility is limited and I'm in severe pain daily. But I'm happy inside. Nothing matters more than contentment and kindness. I want everyone who reads this to know that you're not alone, ever. I care about you and wish you good things in life. Hold onto love, it's in you.

What a beautiful couple and what beautiful children! Their youngest looks just like her mother! To top it off they have Sunday dinner with everyone and they see them as their parents! What examples of living for God and focusing on love and putting that in action!

    I was 48 in August, when I found out my breast cancer diagnosis. I’m the mom of an 8-year-old girl, and all I could think about was not wanting to leave my daughter behind at such a young age. I hope I get the gift of time, but we can never know for sure how long we will have on this earth. I see my life and this experience here on earth with so much more gratitude. Life is so much more precious. I pray they find a cure for this devastating disease of cancer that has taken my mom, my uncle and all of my grandparents, my friends. It sucks! I miss them all so much!

    Such incredibly brave people. Travis is so young to be having to face his own mortality and is so strong to have come through not only one, but two double lung transplants. These people should be our heroes, the ones we look up to. They manage to turn something so frightening and so bleak into beauty and even laughter. They live their lives moment by moment, never able to take the next minute for granted, and still are grateful for the life they have been given, even though it’s being cut brutally short. That is what I call true strength, real bravery, and living in the moment. It’s an honour just to watch them lead their incredibly courageous and completely un-self pitying lives.

I understand this program can only highlight just a part of someone's life, but this one seems like too much was left out. I don't know, maybe it's because she was just so compelling and I felt so drawn to her. It was like she was looking right into my eyes and her message was what I needed to hear. I wish there could be some follow-up story. I would like to know a little more. I'd like to know how her husband and kids are doing. My heart goes out to them.

    The most precious souls. The most beautiful souls seem to be needed by god. I have lost so many in my short time here on earth...
    I’m 38 and I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma. It is spreading...This has been the toughest year with surgeries and treatments.
    The worst was having to go over the news with my only daughter. To see the fear, worry, sadness and most heartbreaking expression on her beautiful face was the worst. I know that she will do great things in this world. I’m grateful that god chose me to be her mommy. If I did everything wrong in my time here on earth... I can say I at least did one thing right. That’s her. I did right by her. That’s a mother’s unconditional and forever kinda love.
    I hope Jessica had a peaceful passing. She stated the biggest thing I’ve said from day one. Love is everything. Don’t be afraid of it. Love and allow yourself to be loved.
    Thank you for sharing this💙

      Love light and strength to you, April.
      I was diagnosed with colon cancer when I was 42.
      My mom was diagnosed 6 months before me.
      Two years later- ours has metastasized to our abdomen, pelvic area and now our liver.
      Multiple surgeries, multiple chemos.
      I'm here if you ever need a friend.

    I just want to say that Jessica’s story has touched me to the very core of my heart 💜. My sister is turning 56 this month n is home hospice because she is unfortunately losing her fight to breast cancer 😢. I, myself, am going through a lot with my brain cancer. Loss my dad in February to bone cancer. I pray 🙏🏼 with every beat of my heart ❤️ that Jessica won’t suffer more than she already is.
    I pray 🙏🏼 for her children n for her husband that they will keep Jessica’s memories alive when our Savior takes her to HIS kingdom above.
    Blessings to this family n to all those in this video. Talking about our last days isn’t an easy thing to do but it sure makes others aware of people’s wishes n what they have been facing.

    Omg it 4;30 in the morning and I woke up from my shoulder hurting and I’m bitching and complaining and some how I came upon this. I started to cry because it put thing into prospective. I don’t thing I’d be strong enough to to handle knowing I was dying. God Bless each and every one of Jessica’s family. Her faith is amazing. One day when it’s my time I hope I’m blessed to meet her in heaven.

      Awesome book - "From Incurable to Incredible" by Tami Boemer. It changed my view on the gift of life, verbalized the mind of those dying in a way I could feel empathy, and it gave me hope. I highly recommend this read. I've given this book to many friends that are facing terminal illness, whether it be them or a family member. LISTEN TO THESE STORIES. FEEL THE ESSENCE behind them. And more importantly, LEARN FROM THEM. these folks are given wisdom beyond what we can imagine.

    Oh my god. What a beautiful and brave man and woman ❤️❤️ . This makes me crying so much …speaking so brave !, love is everything !! Tell people you love them . Find the good things in people ,,,,!,! The real important in life
    It’s important to notice that nobody can’t only have “good fighting the deadly illness “days. Sometimes films like this gives me the impression of that.
    I’m talking from my own story.. I survived a brain tumour, 2 strokes, 4 aneurism, and a craniotomy.. I’m deply affected by that today lot of handicap today. I lost my ability to work. I have worked all my life. That’s been my identity. I have been so proud of paying my taxes!! I see beauty in what most people call’s small thing … love live…. But some days I hate life. I hate myself. I look at myself as pathetic, unworthy, ugly,.
    I sleep for days, feeling sorry for myself, wasting my surviving days. I should be grateful. I am. Just not those days. I spoke to my Doktor. He said… this is OK Susanna. You are allowed to be angry and sad !, This is a healing process….
    Huge love, and prayers send from me to you both ❤️❤️🙏🙏🌸🌸
    Hope you are ok all , and taking care of yourself ❤️

But more importantly the emotions from the person who does these shows, and his ability to give these beautiful people a chance to tell their story. He allows all of society and judgements and crap to fall away and allow you to see the person for what they are a beautiful creation. Thank for doing this for people. It is truly beautiful.

Then my mom died and my heart, against my better judgement, began to emphasize for others. Watching this precious mom get her own episode is both beautiful and really, a gift to her children. I’m exactly 4:54 into this video and I am sobbing my eyes out. My soul hurts for her and her babies.

I just went through my 6th major surgery and I'm finally feeling better (Crohn's disease, now have an ileostomy which has saved my life!). These people have such amazing strength. To know that they will be dying soon (or in 5, 10 years) and have such a clarity and amazing attitude, has me re-evaluating my own. Thank you for doing this series. I have cried so much, but now have a renewed strength to fight on and get stronger. To keep loving each day I'm blessed with.

    Jessica’s got a GREAT husband and family. That’s the man I’ve always said I wanted. The kind who’d stick with me if I was dying.. or would visit me every single day if I was old, in a nursing home, and couldn’t even remember my own name anymore let alone his. I worked in a nursing home with a man who came in EVERY DAY and spent ALL DAY there with his wife who was so far gone she couldn’t even remember him anymore. But he loved her so much he didn’t care. He was there with and for her until her last day. I’ve finally found that man for me.
