This is not scripted. Just a Son having a conversation with his mother about life and death. How to deal with grief, accepting the loss of a loved one. Just beautiful
This is such a good clip. I watched this episode a couple years ago when it first came out and I cried out of sympathetic grief and anticipating grief to come in my life. Five months ago when my grandfather died, the first death in my life, I watched it again to help me cope and to help me cry. This past weekend my grandmother died and I thought I was handling it and grieving properly but today I had to walk away from everything and everyone, rewatch this clip (canceled netflix so I came here) to help me again. It doesn't feel "better", or "less worse", but it helps me understand it more
Healing from a death is growing around the pain of their absence and coming to terms that the joy they brought can now only be remembered. Give yourself grace.
Watching this and the first half really helped me with my anticipatory grief when she talked about how much is hurts when our hearts truly open with that understanding I never thought someone else would understand because that’s exactly what happened when it hit me that my grandma is apart of that hole the woman who raised me from a baby to now who was my mom and dad all in one and It broke me I’ve never cried so hard I wanted to scream, because like she said it’s all from love in it’s purest form fr. It’s been a journey handling my relationship with death and accepting it and I’m better and will continue to make peace but this whole segment really opened my heart more our egos truly hide away the truth and when we realize it TRULY realize it it is so extremely painful but it is also almost relieving. Death is as just as normal as living we don’t think about it when we crush a ant or kill a spider or shoot hit or kill a deer or hell even see it happen to humans on the news. It’s only when it happens or is about to happen to someone we love that we are shot with the bullet of reality and we see how short life rlly is. Love your people while they are here and enjoy them love them in this human vessel we get to have. We are not humans having a spiritual experience we are spiritual beings having a human experiences. They aren’t gone they are simply going home and that is okay it will be okay I promise. To anyone who reads this I promise ❤
I lost my mum 2 years ago today. This just hurt so much and made me understand it’s okay for me to not move on, that it’s okay that I miss my mum more than anything….💔💔
I can’t imagine losing my mum, I feel for everyone who has, you are so much stronger than you think. Hold through, it doesn’t ever get easier, but it does get manageable. It’s all just part of loving someone.
This was my aunt/godmother to me. Fuck cancer just fuck crying hurts when youre told its wrong your whole life. Raquel you were a special case you always will be.
My mom was the closest to me, man. I fucking lost her suddenly and very traumatically in our home after health issues, doctors sort of pushed her aside for months but the time she got help she died a week before her lung appointment she basically suffocated and I didn’t say goodbye, I ran out. I couldn’t stand to see her blue and suffocating, scared. I’m only 16, life hasn’t been good even before, but I loved her and we were a small family despite flaws. I barely have friends and I’m not sure what’s to come, I feel numb and I’ve barely grieved it doesn’t feel real please don’t ever take shit for granted, I didn’t think things could get worse.
Stumbled on this comment and I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong because you are the one of the few people left to carry on their legacy and stories and they will be so happy that they have you for that.
Literally think of different pains; and you can rewatch this same scene; and have different experiences; all with the same feeling of pain in your heart
This is Deneen Fendig, Duncan Trussels Mum. She was exceptionallygraceful, helping others cope as she was dying. This clip is from The Midnight Gospels. ❤
watched this episode a few years back with my ex, he consoled me while sobbing and we had a long talk about death and beyond, he died a few weeks ago and oh boy does this hit different
My mother is still alive but I have grieved the mother I never had. Watching this episode helped me accept a lot of the fears I have had deep within myself. It also made me wish I had a mother like that.
The character is Clancy, but the dialogue is just adapted from Duncan's podcast when he is having this conversation with his mom... so she calls him Duncan, and they didn't change the script
