Death with Dignity, The Nick Tomm Story ft. Al Kresta of Ave Maria Radio

When Al Kresta - founder of Ave Maria Radio and friend of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist - fell ill with an infection, one of his reporters stepped in to fill the gap during Kresta’s six month absence. That six-month assignment was the beginning of Nick Thomm’s 12-year career as Kresta’s producer.
In this documentary, Kresta and other contributors recount Thomm’s brain tumor diagnosis at the age of twenty-seven, and how he turned to his faith to carry him through the following fifteen years of trials.
What many would consider to be a devastating tragedy, Nick accepted with complete trust in the Lord. His wife Jennifer was by his side through chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and eventually the loss of his voice and mobility. Their story brings to light the intersection of marriage, suffering, and loss.
If you're interested in reading more about Nick check out the website Jen made: oceanoftrust.com/

I pray that God does not let me linger here on earth too long without her....missing her is more painful than I could have ever imagined! I am not depressed or suicidal but I am sad!

So nice to see this heroic show of faith! With all the talk about “death with dignity” being the “right” to choose to end one’s own life before the day the Lord has chosen for that event, this video is a breath of fresh air and encouragement. When my daughter was involved in a horrific wreck when she was 14, I had to choose to allow fear to grip me and be of no use to her or to hold to the promise that He does not give us a spirit of fear and fight with the greatest weapon I had- prayer- for her! 31 days after the nearly fatal crash, she walked out of that hospital on her own when we had been told to look for a stay of at least 4 1/2-5 months!

I’m a devout Christian, but I believe God gives us the knowledge and ability to choose for ourselves regarding many aspects of our lives, including our deaths.

MY faith is inextricably linked to what I think about this assisted suicide (although it's not made clear that's what it was). I stand FLATFOOTEd upon the TRUTH: My condolences to the family, but this is against God,as SUICIDE. Period. That's not my opinion, which actually means NOTHING, that's the Word of God. ALL of mankind s souls, whether: atheist, agnostic, Catholic, Muslim, Christian, etc..,or NOT, belongs to God!!! Therefore, we, as mere created beings do not have the RIGHT to destroy our lives!

Please understand that when you say the Word of God is truth, you are expressing an opinion not a fact. What you believe is not more important than what I believe simply because you invoke God. The Bible was written by men and compiled by men. To me it is a misogynistic, brutal, violent book typical of the times in which it was written. You have the opinion that it is special. My opinion is different from yours. We have no chance at understanding each other unless we at least agree on what is fact and what is opinion.

@@kathleensmith1282 As a Christian, God certainly doesn’t begrudge us anything… that’s called Free Will. But He gave us His law to obey to receive His Life… and His law does not include deciding when to take our own. It’s Christianity 101 that Christ died *not* His “time and way of dying” but as the Father willed… And Christianity 504 that He showed us how to suffer and die and offer our sufferings to God, for the redemption of others. Yes, we too can participate in His glorious redemption of mankind through our sufferings. But protestant Christianity lost that awareness when it cropped up 500 years ago. Just some food for thought and prayer.

Dear non-religious atheist… what standards do yo have regarding the taking of another human life? How do you justify against it? What is the basis? As a N-R A, you have no standards of living imposed on you, of life… so your beliefs are basically meaningless regarding imposing them on another…because the belief that it is wrong to take a life (another’s or your own) is basically imposed on you… I think humanity basically falls apart without God’s law…and I think that is only because He is real…whether we come at this philosophically or scientifically (I’ve got plenty of scientist pals who study the depths of the universe and it imposes on them the reality of a Divine Architect, believe it or not.) I’m not imposing this on you but hoping you’ll rethink this position because, philosophically, scientifically, your position ultimately falls apart… imposing a question on your soul, if you will :) Peace and happiness to you.

We are all HIS children and HE loves each and every one of us. We are each given so much time on this earth. We don't know when our tasks are completed nor do we know when our time is up but GOD knows. Imagine how GOD must have felt to sacrifice His only son in order to save all of us! However, the saving isn't automatic We must ask Jesus to forgive our sins, accept that He is the Son of God, that He died and rose on the 3rd day. Do our best to turn away from our sins and live our lives the best we can to be worthy of the sacrifice that was made for us.

It's a fair weather friend who only loves you in times of blessing. If we continue to trust Jesus when the world is throwing the worst on us, that is the worthy sacrifice of thanksgiving. The most worthy offering. God restores the health the world takes away. When we go to live with Jesus in our glorified bodies, it will be forever.

I had to stop in the middle I believe in God I love feeling the Holy Spirit being happy when you see stuff whenever young people get sick or little kids get killed at questions your judgment well it makes me judge or question it about is there a God because they’re are people Who do bad stuff who I believe deserve so much more pain and people that go to church all the time and pray don’t deserve this I am very sorry for your loss

Hey Michael , God suffers with us, He became a man so He could suffer with us, He didn’t stop suffering but He showed us how to suffer with true glory, when He died on the Cross, and He showed us He has power over suffering when He rose from the dead. He showed us that we will have true life with Him in Heaven if we believe and love Him and endure this life’s pains with that hope. Stay strong and true. God bless you.

I can't imagine basing my life choices on a religious belief and yet that same religious belief be threatened by a KZbin video. Your religious belief seems to be based in fear of eternal damnation. I've sat in many churches, read the christian Bible front to back twice, read the Quran, and read the Torah. After reading and studying these religious texts I came to one conclusion. If any of these religion's god exists then he doesn't give a shit about humanity. I have spent much of my LE career investing crimes against children, in particular sex crimes. Not once did any god save a child from violence that most people can not understand. If any god exists, he's a narcissist and the definition of "evil"

Very strange that the radio presenter did not bother to check on his faithful worker who had to leave due to illness. But maybe i heard it wrong ?

Los milagros no existen...y menos en una realidad tan nanipulada...que convierte la enfermedad en un negocio.

I can hum while holding my nose though. I mean, it doesn’t sound amazing, but I definitely can.

[@siobhanrose1680]

Also, my condolences to his loved ones.

Of course! Think of all the COVID patients with Prayer Chains running across the country sure in their faith a miracle was coming. Didn’t go well did it??? I am sorry for this terrible loss and suffering his dear family is going through. But the Lord has been out of the miracle business for around 2000 yrs.

How fortunate Nick and his tribe of people had the choice for his death. All humans should have choice in their death. I am pro choice in all parts of life. I will choose a different path for my death with dignity. Thank you for sharing your journey and perspective.

What about humans in utero?

@@godblessamerica9356 wouldn't it be wonderful if embryos could chose abortion for themselves when they know they will be brought into an unwanted world. Children cannot choose so they depend upon their adults. Adults should do what is best for their children. Abortion may be best. How wonderful you are considering the right of an unborn child to not be born.

[@godblessamerica9356]

@@angiewolf8189 your logic is brilliant…as brilliant as any powerful psychopath’s who chooses for another human being that his or her life isn’t wanted.

[@angiewolf8189]

@@godblessamerica9356 I don't choose. Not my job. You would rather a child, who is unwanted, to be birthed into this world and abused and tortured? That is psychopathic. I think an unwanted child would choose abortion. You must be pro birth....not pro life. How many unwanted children have you adopted from foster care? How many women have you approached in abortion clinics and told them you'd raise their unwanted children? How many deformed and disabled children have you adopted after their mothers found out they'd live a life of pain and suffering and would choose abortion. I bet zero. Abortion is a good option in many scenarios. It baffles me that folks like you preach life but only support birth. Enjoy the weekend.
