Death doula, 119lbs, Day 716

[@orlygf]

Never in my entire life have I ever seen anyone so dignified and courageous in the face of terminal illness. I will always remember that day you showed up at my front door. I will always remember you as the vibrant and supremely talented person you are .

I 100% agree with you. Both of my parents died from cancer, after suffering through treatments. My mother, more so than my father. She chose more extensive treatment than he did. My father had pancreatic cancer. Yes, the pain was excruciating. He lived, like you said, not just existed in misery. When he got to the point where he wanted to stop, he spoke with hospice, then stopped all food and water. He let us know of his choice and we were able to say goodbye. I felt closure, although I was heartbroken 💔, it seemed so logical. Why live in misery. With my mom, I don’t have that closure. She was never ready to stop fighting. She never did. But she existed in assisted living and was not happy. Not “living”. Then she passed away from complications. We didn’t get closure, say goodbye or anything. When I got to the ER, she was already unconscious and on oxygen. She died within 30 minutes. I don’t think it will ever sit right with me. I couldn’t help her be happy living and I wanted to so badly. I couldn’t help her die peacefully. I hope this makes sense. It’s hard to explain. Much love to you and support in whatever you choose to do. ❤❤❤

F CANCER! Fly high beautiful and your journey was fought hard…NO MORE PAIN.

[@treycallaway7467]

Donna- you’re an absolute gift to all of us. And you are very deeply loved.

[@deborahrotondo7792]

You have a wonderful attitude, we are born into this world and one day will leave it, so everyone make the best of our lives while we are here. God bless you and your family.

[@nikichoprarichardson]

Death is hardest on the living. I’m so inspired by your incredible attitude. I’m sending you and Matthew so much love.

[@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe]

It really is. In some ways, I wish I die before my loved ones so I don’t have to feel that pain.

[@saritalindarocco6323]

She is so delightful. What a smile. I wish I would have found this while she was still on the planet so I could have told her how inspiring she is…. And I’m so happy I found it now. “I love you;I love me.” Is now my favorite mantra. Wow. What a life force she was and is.

[@cyndybooker6508]

Love you Donna ❤ Love you Matt ❤

[@AllisonQ582]

This is an absolutely beautiful soul right here. I'm sorry she had to leave her family and friends, but how exciting she got to go home! Sending prayers and love to her family. 🙏🏻❤️

[@DP-dn8po]

I would do the exact same thing. There is no reason for anyone to suffer, if you don't have to. You go girl!!!!!! I love your attitude.

[@Bombabingbong66]

You are so right. Sadly in the UK there is zero access to this freedom of choice, one who aided this wd be put in prison, maybe for life. You are so brave. Hugs beautiful

[@laurebourgeois8482]

So understand what you’re saying…your quality of life is not what you want. That is always one of the first questions my Dr.asks. Think of you every day. Wish you were feeling better…big big hugs 💕

[@jordancrane7281]

Bravery, grace and inspiration are not always found where you might expect them to be. Love you Donna. And Matt's kinda OK too.

[@sharonlee4962]

Donna, I just love you so much! You are a magnificent living example of grace for all of us. I feel so blessed to know you and honored you have shared your experience with us. I expect the very best for you, and always will. Love, Sharon🌈❤️

[@lindastangelo1636]

You are such a beautiful person. I was helping a dear friend deal with cancer last year, and it wasn't easy. I love your attitude, your outlook on life. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family. I think each and every one of us should be able to do what works for us, and hopefully family will support us in our decisions. I, obviously, wish you the best, but I think each of us knows what's best for our own selves and hopefully those that love us will respect our decisions.

[@allisonlamb6478]

Dearest Donna, you are such an inspiration and continue to be so after your transition. Thank you for everything!❤

[@clairemulroy2290]

This page come up on my feed last night I’m in Manchester UK 🇬🇧 and I’ve watched a lot of her videos, what an amazing person wife mum grand mom friend Donna seemed to be xx I think she was so brave xx I lost my dad in 2022 to bowel cancer and he died with me there xx makes me cry I’ll never to stop crying and missing him xx I hope she’s back with her dad and loved ones pain free and peaceful now waiting to see her loved ones again ❤ xxxx much love to Matthew and kids xxxxx

[@Carolyntalarico]

Donna, You are such a beautiful soul. I am blessed to know you and your grace is a gift. I love you and Matthew so much. ❤

[@miavita9260]

I completely agree with you. You Love Life and Life is Living but if you're merely "existing" and unable to Live. Pain an unwelcome guest is your unwanted constant companion. I believe in Life and it is Eternal. The physical body is merely a vehicle and will degenerate and die. There is an Eternal Spirit I laugh often sometimes cry but I found I am still on lockdown with an autoimmune disease which is relentless. I think as you. Boy I would love to take a long morning walk through the park as I used to. Everyday I awaken thank God for the day and to give me strength I need. But I understand you completely. I subscribed because your story is needed and inspirational. Thank you for the courage in providing your journey in this regards. God bless you!

[@lesliehutchinson8161]

We love you and we are behind you on whichever path you choose. You rock❤️

[@jeancampbell6641]

I feel exactly the same way you do . When it’s my time to go I want to go with dignity . God Bless you . 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@patriciacrayton8150]

She is an amazing lady god bless her

[@legacybuildergal]

I so respect you for this path. I would do the same. I watch my mom deteriorating from another illness, and I've told my sons to not let me get to that point. There is no dignity. She lives in a confused, fearful state. I don't want to put myself or my kids through the same thing. Rest in peace, beautiful lady. ❤

[@Kristin54557]

[@sunlethincognito6365]

Her videos were just recommended to me randomly today and listening to her and seeing her has been so inspiring, comforting, and grounding. Rest in peace, angel 💕

[@india1422]

At the moment I want to stay alive. I realise that at some point that may turn into a wish to live. But the answer for each of us is different. Ten years when no yoga at the moment seems pretty good. I hope that you are able to take the path of your choosing

[@DD-si6qm]

Is incredible how wise you are.

[@Yogamags]

Real and empowering!! Donna this is the most important conversation. I'm so glad you found the death doula idea. I'm close to this hugely challenging and revitalizing conversation through my Death Cafe volunteering here. I love and honor your extraordinary journey and your powerful still creative spirit as you navigate the greatest mystery...

[@mizrich8912]

I have been watching your story. You are truly cool. You are truly brave. What you are saying needs to be said. I want to become a death doula so that I can help patients and families have a beautiful transition. Celebrate and Love on Everybody!!

[@arnedale2951]

Isn't it better to help people to live? Have you read the Bible the word of Almighty God. It says: You shall not kill. It's one of the ten commandments in the Holy Bible.

[@arnedale2951]

What do you mean transition? Is it people that shall decide when to die. Isn't that God's decision and job? What about when we stand before the judgement seat of Christ when this life is over? What will you answer him? Giving people lethal pills or injections. Isn't that helping people murder themself? It's terrible😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😔😔😔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@jenimar13]

​@arnedale2951, being in constant pain, is not living. Why go through all of that suffering?

Thank you for this video. I have a chronic illness/injury that has no treatment. It's not terminal but I don't want to just survive either, being miserable and not able to do the things I like. The disease I have was actually caused by pills from my doctor, so I think it's fair enough to take pills to end it.

[@Encourager-Purpose-Destiny]

Our days are numbered. Our times are in God’s hands (Psalm 3:15a). God knows the number of our days and months. We cannot live longer than the time God has set (Job 14:5). Before we had even seen our first day or taken our first breath, God had already written in His book of life the number of our days (Psalm 139:16). For in God we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28a). God created all things, and only by God’s will, do we exist (Rev. 4:11). It is so comforting to know that death is not the end for those of us who believe and know Jesus Christ as our Savior. We will have eternal life through Christ. God has prepared a new home for us where there will be no more tears, sickness, pain, or death. Jesus said, “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also (Rev. 21:3-4, John 14:1-4).

I am sad for her and all who are in similar situations. I don’t know their pain. Life though, is a gift that we didn’t give to ourselves. It is also sad, the thought that life isn’t worth living if we can’t do it exactly our way. I pray for her and even more so those who aided her in destroying her gift of life.
