DYING: The Last Days (Terminal Cancer Documentary)

REMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE! → bit.ly/2CwckC3
-
This documentary film confronts death head on. "DYING" is a personal, profound and poignant memoir of three people and how they faced their deaths from cancer.
Sally, 46, bonds with her elderly mother as they take things day to day; Bill, in his early 30s, stoically goes on while his wife loses herself in rage; grandfatherly Reverend Bryant preaches a final sermon, then goes back South one last time.
"DYING" shows the anguish of living, the desire to laugh even when it's all but impossible, the bare joy of living, joy without laughter. Direct close-ups of faces, like those of the unforgettable grandson of Reverend Bryant, designed to pull you into wholehearted quotidian terror. Three different takes on death: you can embrace the nothing (Sally the red-headed mountaineer), you can rage and curse and wish death was already here, even if it sounds monstrous (Harriet and Bill), or you can laugh and grin and make merry along the way to oblivion (Reverent Bryant-which is one of the most purely devastating segments known to U.S. documentary).
This is obviously a ridiculously strong documentary film that you must see and share.

Omg that second woman is something else. I couldn’t even believe the things she was saying. Honestly idk who was worse her or her kids? I can’t believe she is wanting to remarry again I mean dang lady your husband isn’t dead yet!! Then saying she just wished he would go now . If he has to go why not make it quick and over with. Omg she is absolutely horrible! I feel so sorry for her husband. Being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer literally dying needing his wife now more than ever and this is what he gets? A wife that just wants to have a new husband and for him to just hurry up and die😮.. telling the doctor she prayed his chemo didn’t work!! That doctor owed it to him to let him know how she was feeling about him. I’d divorce her ass and be like go get you another sucker hope he doesn’t get sick you be wanting him to die next!

The wife of that dying young man was so horrible; just wanting him to hurry up and die. She could have given her boys so much by making beautiful memories with their father, giving them an example of love and selflessness instead of selfishness and narcissism. What a sad and lonely way he had to leave this earth, knowing that his wife was so eager for him to die and do it quickly. She made me truly sick. If she’s still alive (and she could be an old lady now) she would be deserving of a lonely regretful old age.

[@emepleez]

You're opinion is based on today's world. Women back then had more to face as a widow with children than today. She was probably scared to death of being alone.

[@matthewthomasjames]

@@emepleez obviously she was scared of being alone, but her attitude was still horrendous and only could cause harm. My mom was a single mother in the seventies and thank God, she didn’t have the attitude that she just had to hurry up and get hooked up with some guy (any guy) so she wouldn’t have to raise us alone. She did in fact raise us on her own and it was, no doubt, a struggle.

I watch many of your uploads , but this one hits hard. I lost my 15 year old son 5 months ago, he fought a short but brutal battle with colorectal cancer. Gone much too soon. I sort of resent the comments judging the wife in the 2nd story. What many of you all dont understand, i pray you never do, is how HARD it is to watch someone you love actively dying. What may have come across as crass, uncaring, resentful is really a demonstration of her absolute fear. This was a different time , where women grew up, married, and had children. She couldnt accept the uncertainty of the illness or a future without the stability of a husband. I think we all at times are afraid of an uncertain future. The reverend in 3rd story is so similar to my son...They told him cancer was in liver.... and at least those docs were honest with Rev. Bryant and told him directly that there is no treatment available once it gets there... no one told me as directly as this. Im not sure it wouldve helped knowing, perhaps my child's doctors were just trying to give me something to hold onto...hope?...Hard to believe this is almost 50 years old documentary, and what a shame in that time , there havent been advancements made to help treat when its that far gone. Rest in Peace to all who have gone much too soon. Rest in Peace my sweet Cameren. Mom loves you foREVer

I think you’re wrong. Most folks want their love ones to be with them as long as possible. l know what it’s like to lose someone very dear to me. And true when the person becomes unconscious or goes into coma then maybe you hope for them to go quick. But that ladies spouse was still able to enjoy life and his children and she was pure poison, zero sense of humanity in her. She only wanted him to go quick so she could on with her life.

You are absolutely right when you say that touch is so very important. I work in healthcare and can't begin to tell you, how much touch means to someone who is dying. So many people, especially the elderly aren't touched at all and once they feel your hand in theirs, they grip you like a vice, sometimes kiss your hand or bring it to their cheek - I can honestly say, that never fails to make me weep because touch is so fundamental to being human❤

I have met all sorts of people in my 67 years but this woman is above anything i ever encountered that poor man in his last days with that!!!!!!!! Evil woman jeez😢

[@ShopStylebyme]

I agree with you. She is vile. is worried about her boys going on drugs and alcohol. She would be the cause of it. She’s mad because the doctor won’t do something to harm him. That’s crazy and just pure evil. I feel so bad because that man had to pass away without a moment, peace

[@Corinnajudd]

That woman is awful to her husband. How incredibly sad.

[@carollucey111]

I'd give anything to know what happened to the lads, did they turn out ok, God love them, I wonder did she remarry and if so what was life for the kids, the mother must be in her 80s now, if anyone knows anything please fill us in lol. R.I.P poor Bill 😞 died so young 😞

[@jmegee1975]

The wife in the 2nd story..Wow

[@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426]

She's a horrible human being

[@maggiesimpson8103]

Yep,totally an asshole

[@ont.cobbles]

She was more ill than he was. As impatient as she was for him to die, I'm sure he was counting down the minutes more than her.

[@SuziePotter-g1y]

I know right! Total narcissistic selfish woman

[@jillcadman8139]

she is stone cold

[@BLUEGREEN65]

The first story of Sally, what a lovely lady. And her mother was so loving. I loved that Sally had such a wonderful and realistic attitude. Was so touching when she was in physical therapy and was so sweet to the elderly gentleman and saying how beautiful he was. RIP Sally ❤

[@Pagan_Heart]

Yes, she had a wonderful inner light that shone brightly. I also felt the same from her mother, the gentleness and beautiful love between them was truly special. Sally died at peace with life in the loving care of her mother who must have been heartbroken. Neither of them ever complained. RIP Sally - and possibly her dear mother as this film is quite old.

[@donnamariedelana2002]

I feel bad for those Boys 😡😡😡

[@maryrichardson6457]

What goes around comes around!

[@tamalitalynn7339]

The woman in story #@ has said some horrible things! However, I am somewhat on the fence as to wheather or not she is just plain evil or stressed to the max. Her sons are angry, she is angrey, the husband is just sad. I feel like the angre is more fear then than anything. She is afraid of raising two boys alone and with them acting out what will happen? I would be terrified about raising my son alone and watching my husband die. I would not think and wish her husband dead ASAP like her, but I kinda get where she is coming from. I wonder if she ever remarried.

[@sunnyblueskies6505]

I remember watching this in my psych 101 class almost 35 years ago in college. I remember feeling horrified watching the wife be so cruel and mean to her husband. As I began watching it again i thought, “I’m in such a different place now in my life. Maybe it will make more sense to me now.” Nope. In fact, I feel even more contempt for her. She had a good life. He provided well for her. He was the one suffering with cancer. Yet, she made it all about her. I would have loved to have seen a follow up with her. I hope those 2 sweet boys didn’t have to suffer living with her. She needed to be seen by a psychiatrist. It’s all about her when he is the one who is dying. Terrible woman!

[@nicoledenning8090]

wow that's crazy you watched this back then

[@Dustypa66]

Rev bryants family was mirror image of us 7 kids losing our daddy to cancer 14 years ago, we all stayed by his bedside at home and comforted mom before and after..it was so hard losing the patriot of our family, life was never the same. Just lost mom 4 years ago and the family split up! Im wondering if these familys got closer or just couldnt deal with the loss, like my own family. If i could do it over and over Id ask god for the same parents. I miss them both. Its been hard.

[@raytavares2256]

My mother is going through this for now and I can't explain the excruciating pains she is g through at this moment.

[@kishanelson26]

She is making the negative things out. She needs to be posy she is awful human. It’s not about her. Playing the victim. She should have not had kids.

[@eileenlocke9397]

Gosh she’s so strict t there dads dying for gods sake

[@nicoledenning8090]

and saying she beat the oldest son! wow

[@truthsticks5900]

Third story is bad , but beautiful, what love and family is. Bless you all

[@WhitecloudQligdhu]

The mother is disrespectful she only thinks about herself and the two boys so much for the love over her husband

[@IngenerateIngenue]

Oh my, the sadness of the elderly mum feeding her 46 yr old daughter as if Sally was 12 months old again. 😢

[@nicoledenning8090]

wow she was only 46? missed that part. wow sad

[@carolyn85930]

Oh dear Lord, the wife!

[@darlenepietzak9847]

Thank you for these stories. I have lost MANY loved ones to cancer and I myself am a 3 year survivor. I didn't think I would make it through, but I put my life in God's hands & felt peace with what I was going through. My savior got me to where I am today. My life isn't perfect, but grateful for each day.

[@onemargaret]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@EllaBella-76]

Imagine you pray a treatment doesn't work??Yet you have two little kids and you beat one because he is running around my brother has his in his liver .,😭😭💓💓His bones I would take away the pain myself he has a wife two boys ..I seriously pray 🙏 he will not be in awful pain

[@andrewdean1815]

At least The Preacher’s Family Had Love An Happiness For Each Other,Compared to That Before,Which Gives It a Special Ending,I Have Lost So Many Family And My Two Oldest Best Friends To This Horrible Word Cancer

[@JulieR73]

The second woman was so cruel

[@mariar4431]

Wicked, selfish second wife. She's unbelievable. Adorable Reverend!

[@ralphsbabygirl41]

The 2nd story was so strange, but we have no idea who he was b4 he got sick! People can drastically change (being nicer) when faced with their mortality!

[@yeahB]

The crazy b… is probably serving her life sentence still for taking out her poor husband herself- if she’s still alive

[@GG-py9vp]

That woman was so consumed with fear at being left alone with children that she couldn’t give her husband the love and care he deserved while going through this horrible disease. I wonder if she’s left with regrets.

[@lisaandrade2195]

I wonder if the descendants of any of these people ever watch this?

[@eileenlocke9397]

Those boys are properly traumatised they know there losing there dad . And his wife well wow

[@victoriacritchlow9069]

OMG !!!!THIS WOMAN IS HORRENDOUS!!!

[@ulitementulitement7702]

I wish there was a follow up on the families

[@calliewilliams5474]

I know my husband didn't have cancer but he had 2 heart attacks and a triple bypass and it was very hard but I stuck by him nursed him back to health and it made me love him more seeing him go threw all that we have a daughter and I want my husband to have a long life. How could a wife mistreat her husband! That second lady is a narcissistic sociopath

[@michellebrown3146]

I got all kinda weird vibes with the second family in this film..i feel their family unit is disfunctional anyway,unruly ,disrespectful kids,a wife who clearly wears the trousers in the relationship,with the cancer diagnosis shes lost an element of control over things..The cancer diagnosis has just heightened all the underlying issues that were there already.Fear can make you react in a way others may deem cold and inappropriate but this woman clearly doesn't give a rats backside about her husband. The battle and sadness he was going through is so palpable,he must've been made to feel so guilty for getting cancer not receiving the love and support he so desperately needed but i feel his passing will have given him release from not just the cancer but his awful home life.Poor man i hope hes at peace.
