Dear potential donors, I have been blessed with the opportunity to care for five grandparents during their final moments, providing them with comfort and support as they passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. My journey began at the age of 17 when my grandfather was diagnosed with bone cancer and given a short time to live. Despite the reluctance of other family members, I made the decision to drop out of school and dedicate myself to his care, fulfilling a calling I felt deep in my heart. Eight years later, when my grandmother required assistance, I once again stepped up to the challenge. Despite being unable to legally remove her from the care facility, I brought her home on hospice, sacrificing my own pursuits to provide her with 24/7 care. Tragically, just three weeks after her passing, I was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer. What followed was a five-year battle, marked by surgeries, chemotherapy, and the development of degenerative disc disease. Now, at 41 years old, I find myself in a position of need. Despite my disability and regular visits to the cancer center for check-ups, the financial support provided by SSI is insufficient to meet my needs. I am reaching out to you today with a humble request for assistance. If you find it in your heart to donate to my cause, any contribution, no matter how small, would be immensely appreciated. Your generosity would provide much-needed relief and assistance as I navigate this challenging chapter of my life. For those who wish to contribute, donations can be made through $victorsaveings on Cash App or by reaching out to me directly. Thank you for considering my request, and may you be blessed for your kindness and generosity. Warm regards, V.P.J
My dad and myself were in the room when my precious mam was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was at that moment my whole world stopped turning. We held her as we said goodbye, just three short months later- 17th March 2023 A part of me died along with her that day. ❤ xxxxx
We have just lost my brother and he wanted to be at home. It really didn't happen as peaceful as this gentleman and I have since been told by others that a peaceful passing isn't always so.
Very well scripted and produced, the actors playing Mike, Suzy and the district or hospice nurse were especially realistic. As a clinician myself I found the way the GP managed breaking the bad news and subsequent conversations awkward.
My father died of lung cancer in 1985. When he chose to die at home, his doctor told him that he was a selfish man for putting his family through that. I am almost 76 now. It took me 25 years before I could listen to a recording he made for us, playing his beloved piano and singing the old Southern Gospel songs that I grew up listening to. I haven’t been able to listen to it since then, but I feel that it will bring me comfort when it is my time to go.
F... That doctor. Seriously. I'm really really really sorry that in that difficult moment you encountered a shitty person. Being selfish is the least of dying person's worries and what a vile person you ought to be to say that to an ill man. I'm so, so, so sorry. Please, enjoy Your father's love he immortalised for You. Try to forget that asshole's words.
Your beloved Dad was in no way selfish. He was filled with love and loved by his family. What a vile doctor to have met. Hope he at least has found solace in his own horrid life. What a wonderful Dad you had. You have been truly, completely and utterly loved by your devoted Dad. He has left a legacy of Love. Many blessings to you.
I've been down this road twice. Once with my Momma. I took care of her and had Hospice services at her home. Years later I also took care of my Husband. We also had Hospice care in our home. Both of them passed away so peacefully in my arms. I am no longer affraid of death. I would do it all over again for them, just knowing they were both where they wanted to be when they died. Hospice also had wonderful bereavement support for me and our family after both deaths. My son and his family know this is also what I want. I've gone ahead and paid for all of my final expenses so there is no stress on anyone. Also have my living will and Durable Power of Attorney on file with Dr. and hospital.
I'm 60 with chronic back pain my entire life, scoliosis, and other spinal diseases, and what in the US of A do they give me for pain? Nothing! They treat me like dirt here. As soon as I'm ready, I'm gladly leaving on my own terms, alone. This country makes me nauseous.
My mom was a chronic pain patient for 28 years... sadly, in 2014, she decided to take her own life 💜 I'm an only child so I really considered her suicide as extremely selfish but after a lot of therapy and benzo's I can understand her decision 💜
Please, I beg all of us…. Oh Yes I am terminally ill also 🙏🙏🙏. Give your selves to Christ Jesus and have joy in your sufferings 🙏🙏🙏 Please don’t let this life teach you that murdering yourself is normal….. It is horrible. Give yourself to Christ Jesus and let your soul live in Eternity for your precious precious family 🙏🙏🙏
This is sad of course because the man didn't want to die. Ok I have heard about assisted suicide in Belgium and Netherlands. My life is really going no where and I love these people cared for each other..I really don't have a wish to live so do they just assist your death if you aren't sick. I have no family to speak of and life is just to hard I'm 60 and I can't get my self together people just don't care and I really can't be homeless I'm scared
It was good acting but there was a few mistakes first when you have a syringe driver in it will slowly pump morphine and madazalm under your skin you would not be able eat kippers and ice cream as you would be deeply in unconsciousness and you can't drink because if it goes in to your lungs you would drowned you would olso have a greyish pale skin and the mouth would be wide open and your weight drops dramatically plus the district nurse's can take up to 2 hours to get to you as they are so busy bless them I no iv just lost a loved one at home to cancer but it got the point across very well so it will give people some comfort
The Lord Jesus Christ said “let the dead bury the dead” which means the unsaved medical caregivers can only take care of the physical needs of the dying. Only Jesus can save their soul. Palliative care comforts the terminally ill until they die eventually. For such institutions to forbid the preaching of the Gospel of the Grace of God that brings salvation to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ is unconscionable!
Cancer is a very nasty disease, u would think that this world would have a good grip on this illness, being that it kill's so many people all over the world. R.I.P Mike u will never be forgotten, I wish all the best to his Wife and loved ones. 🙏🇺🇲🗽🇬🇧🙏
My dad died 8 weeks ago thank you for the palliative care given in the last 3 weeks. - i wish i knew what the last few days would be like. Even though his final hours were peaceful in his own home Its scaring me still.
Carol Webs. I totally agree. We never saw the GP at all. The Macmillan nurse came once a fortnight and the GP the day before he died. The nurse rang for an ambulance and he was taken to the hospice where he died the next day. He lost a lot of weight, his face looked awful, not like him at all. I certainly had no support from from the GP at all, in fact nobody actually. I found the number of the local Cruse councillor but she was 88 years old and just told me about other peoples experiences. The only real help I got was from the hospice staff, they were brilliant people. The state the NHS is in at the moment, you can’t even get to see a doctor, it’s disgusting.
Brought tears , as my daddy lives with us for over 11 years then he got aggressive bladder cancer and was gone within 7 weeks, I did palliative care in our home until 5 days before as I wanted more pain relief for him as he was stubborn , so made the choice to take him to hospice where I became the daughter again holding his hand for 5 days and nights never leaving him instead of the caregiver.I treasure those days, hours, minutes that I was with my daddy and so grateful for helping him reach my mama who was gone over 21 years before him… He went on the brightest moon of the year and I received a gift from him that he made it to her..❤️❤️❤️❤️
Something wrong here! Just dosnt look rite, i nursed my husband at home suffering from cancer, he doesn't look rite , and this with is nothing like it was for me! It was hell for us , don't care how much help you get , this just looks fake! Not showing what real cancer death is like 😢😢😭
