Enter Stage 4 documentary

[@nancybeveridgetaylor3256]

I am a retired nurse and part of my career was as a hospice case manager. I am a TOTAL SUPPORTER AND ADVOCATE FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. American for profit healthcare is criminal. thank you for this beautiful documentary. ❤

[@EricaBrookhart]

I have a very special place in my heart for hospice nurses. You all are angels. And yes, couldn't agree more about healthcare. Thanks for your support and everything you do.

[@breannedixon9712]

I don’t get the thing about health care. As someone who gratefully hasn’t dealt with serious illness, not even in my family really, how could you look at sick people and deny them? People only get one life, yet people fight for for profit health care? What’s the point? Makes me sad..

[@starlily3357]

My mother in law lost her sister to cancer because of Universal Health Care in England. She had to wait in line for treatment and she died waiting.

[@christinebeasley6873]

@@starlily3357do you think that doesn’t happen in the US? It does, with the addition of a massive hospital bill. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@bobs1356]

Yes but when u have all these illegals here and refugees how are americans going to get proper care first? U know there going to take the Fournier first for some reason.

[@Sparkplug023]

What a lovely tribute to your good friend. Blessings.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you!

[@jamacolegrove5181]

As a person battling cancer, I found this documentary to be inspirational and beautifully done. I was especially struck by two things: Trycia's incredible attitude of grace and gratefulness through her painful journey; and your loyalty, faithfulness, and 'showing up spirit' as her friend. May God grant you peace as you work through the loss of this wonderful friend.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Wow, Thank you so much! Sending you lots of love, Jama!

Beautiful tribute to your gorgeous friend! I’m an American living in Canada and I won’t go back because I can’t afford medical care in my own country. Make that make sense.

[@donnajoyner8907]

What a beautiful friendship. She was amazing, so beautiful and full of life. But I wanted to address something with you, her best friend. If she hadn’t had so much love and support from you and her family, she would have never been strong enough to file for divorce. Think about that. All the people with terminal illnesses, having to hold on to what they have even when it’s inadequate. But she knew, yes she knew, where her real strength and support came from. She knew you would be there, through it all, even the hardest part at the end. So she didn’t have to cling to someone who was incapable of giving her what she needed during her final journey. That gift, Erica was priceless. Thank you for telling her story, showing the world her beautiful spirit, and giving her unconditional love, strength and support when she needed it the most. I assure you, you will see her again. I know this for sure through a personal experience.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you for this! It really lifts me up to read things like this. Thank you thank you for your support and kind words!

[@reneesantiago6496]

What an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED woman she was!!! She had such a spark of beauty and energy in her smile and face! She’s the type that truly lit up rooms when she walked in. Thank you for sharing!

[@lesaserrato3575]

Just absolutely beautiful. Touching, classy, unbelievable woman. What an amazing spirit. I'm just feeling so touched right now. My friend Jacqueline battled cancer,, and eventually she lost the fight as well. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story of a life lived to the fullest each day. I'm just in Awe.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Wow. Thank you so much. I have no doubt they are hanging out together up there. Thanks for your support.

[@samanthafitzgerel4460]

What an amazing tribute to your friend. I love how she never let cancer define who she was. She was a brilliant, vibrant human being, in spite of the cancer. I am in my own battle with Neuroendocrine Cancer of the Lungs, and I have to say....She definitely inspires me to fight harder, no matter how difficult it gets. I'm very fortunate, however. I was diagnosed at Stage IIIb and now, thanks to surgery & biological treatments, I'm now at Stage 1. I'm saving this documentary in my favorites, and on the tough days, I will watch it and let your beautiful friend inspire me. Thank you for sharing her with the world.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Yes she was! I am so glad she inspired you! And thank you for your support. Sending love.

[@HaliRaap28]

Erica, this was one of the most beautiful and touching documentaries I've seen. You guys have a friendship that most dream of having. She was so vibrant an her energy was infectious and you portrayed it so well through this documentary as if I could feel it like she was here in person. Rest in peace!! Your poise and grace an energy lives on. ❤

[@EricaBrookhart]

THANK you for this!

[@HaliRaap28]

Erica Brookhart You're welcome!! I'm sure it's nice to see your friend having an impact on so many people and knowing you were the one that got the pleasure of being her best friend. She may not be here physically but I'm sure she's with you spiritually everyday!

[@EricaBrookhart]

Yes she is! All the time. I have a great angel.

[@HaliRaap28]

Erica Brookhart you really do. I wish you the best!! 😊

[@Synicizm]

This was so heartbreaking. She seemed to have really enjoyed life more than 99% of us, and it's terrible that cancer robbed her of so many years. I honestly wondered about her husband from the beginning and why he didn't take care of her instead of having her hustle and wear herself down, or just stay and help her instead of her roommates doing it. When he didn't even go to Korea with her... it just wasn't right. He should have been present with her. I can't fault her for trying alternative medicine, because there's so much stuff going around that it has to be confusing. You were a huge blessing in her life, and you did a wonderful job on this.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you so much! We never know what roles people are going to play in one's lives. It's a crazy dynamic. Thanks for your support.

Been through cancer twice and I have to say Trycia took this challenge head on, her amazing energy was infectious. I'm sorry for your loss... thank you for sharing this difficult journey, I hope it helps others in her situation to live life as she did pre and post diagnosis. God bless.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you for your support! God bless you as well.

[@sxytattoogrl]

I didn't know Trycia, or even hear about her story till now, but nowI will definitely remember her. This was really beautiful and an amazing way to honor your friend. The thing that stuck out to me the most is when you said how looking back, it was a beautiful journey. I can totally relate to that. When my father passed away, I felt honored to be there when he was in hospice and there until his last breath. It was a very spiritual and beautiful experience. One that I'll remember and hold close for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and Trycia's story. She seemed really awesome, funny, and so full of life. You are very blessed to have such an amazing friend. And she was blessed to have you.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you thank you! I am so glad she made an impact on you. Thank you for sharing your story as well. I am very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thanks for your support.

[@Howiesgirl]

Everyone should have the kind of friends this girl had. As a cancer patient myself, I'd give anything to have people around me who wanted to help, or even just hang out with me. Unfortunately, my experience has been that friends & family all felt bad when I was diagnosed, & all said "If there's anything I can do to help, let me know", but not 1 person has actually OFFERED to do anything for or with me. I'm sick- I shouldn't have to call people to ask for anything. It should be happening because they care enough to really want to help. I'm not asking for major things- I don't have a car, so it would be nice if someone called & asked if I wanted a ride to get groceries. And if someone is making a meal for their family, bring me a plate so I don't have to cook once in a while. I would be so grateful. My cancer is a chronic type, & I'm into my 6th year of dealing with it. 3 years of chemo, but it stopped working, several new drugs that also failed, & endless blood transfusions. I've done it all alone. And I'll continue on, as long as my body is willing.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Awe, I'm sorry to hear this. Do you have NextDoor in your neighborhood? It's a community website/app, and I've found that if someone in need to help posts on there , folks come out of the woodwork. Keep on keepin' on!

I happened upon this tonight thinking, I feel like giving up. My son's car is scaring me and my roof is leaking in my new house and the builder is trying to avoid me. My mom is very sick in a nursing home and I have a child with autism. But....after watching this I know I don't need to give up I need to keep fighting, keep getting up no matter what, just like your friend. Thank you for sharing this with the world of KZbin. Trycia was beautiful, I thank you so much for allowing us to see a very small glimpse of your life. You are beautiful too! Blessings...

I'm almost speechless at the depth of emotions and gratitude that Ive just experienced through watching this.

[@verenah.1190]

I did! I also liked the translation for all American people who would not know Deutschland (we hold certain prejudices towards Americans so that is why it was funny ;))and I loved the view 'that is what Germany looks like' ;). No, seriously, it was beautifully done. I am sure she would be very proud to have such a loving friend - and with that film many people around the globe might find some inspiration.

Thank you for sharing this amazing video of such endurance. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and passed away in 2012 and like your friend she was a upbeat, nonstop hardworking and wonderful woman. She Endured till the end. Her death was the hardest thing I had to go through I though till I lost my Dad a year and a half later to cancer as well. Like you I shut down and closed off. It seems like the most courageous people leave to soon. Thank you again for your video. My condolences to you and her loved ones.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you for sharing your story. Sending love.

[@irisrose4732]

Allisen, you sound a lot like me. I also lost the most important person in my life, my Mama, on Valentine's Day of 2013. She was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in 2008 like your mother. A beautiful, vibrant, energetic, kind woman as well. Her passing "killed" me and then, like you, my dad suddenly passed in his home out of state the very next year; I didn't even get a chance to be with him and care for him the best I could. I had a plane ticket for two weeks later, and was going to take him for his second liver tumor ablation procedure. I had no idea that he was going downhill so fast, and you know how men can be, trying to tough it out. At that point, I was just DONE, so in pain that I think I went numb...just plain shock. I basically isolated myself from the world for a long time; only now am I trying to start living again. Condolences to you on your losses, we can only learn to live with the pain

[@valeriepursel4374]

Hi Sonja.. I'm so sorry for your loss.. there are so many times I want to talk to my brother.. I know exactly how you feel..My brother was 8 years older than me and when we were growing up we weren't close (I was the tag along kid sister) but once we got to be adults we were very close. We rebuilt 2 antique cars together.. with NO arguments!!! I wish I could tell you that it gets easier.. I think you just become a little less aware of the pain... I pray for strength and peace for you.. Hugzzzz

[@HeyyyEverybody]

Thank you, Erica. What a beautiful tribute. I feel privileged to have gotten this glimpse into such a beautiful soul's life. I don't know why KZbin "suggested" this video, but I'm so glad it did. I've been taking way too many things for granted. Big hugs to you and all of Trycia's loved ones -- I know there are many.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you for your support. I am glad you watched it too. :D

[@irisrose4732]

God bless her, she is such a beautiful soul! So graceful and brave during such a frightening and difficult time in her life; always smiling and making everyone around her feel good. My mother also passed due to breast cancer and even during such times of weakness and pain, she'd smile and joke, and make the nurses, doctors, etc. feel at ease. She always thought of others before herself, even with this disease. I like to think that someone like Trycia has met my beloved mother in Heaven, and that just perhaps, she taught her a few dance moves. The thought puts a smile on my face. Take care and blessings to you!

[@EricaBrookhart]

Yes, she was a beautiful soul. And still is. Sorry to hear about your mom. I am sure they are having a grand old time up there together, right?

[@emmestein]

You have my upmost respect. I've seen death up close too many times, both as s a close friend/relative or being the person dying (I've never had cancer, but I've been battling other diseases). You did something amazing, are you aware of that? You helped Trycia to experience some good memories despite of her disease. It's so important for the sick person to be recognised and do something that's not just cancer treatment. Just laughing together, vistiting etc. You did so much for her, and I want to just clarify how proud you should be over yourself.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Wow, thank you for your kid and supportive words. I love reading things like this. Sending lots of love!

Erica Brookhart ,U Welcome,I love Following up on Real Friendships

[@jewlz1.1.1]

Wow, I'm at a loss for words... which doesn't happen often. Not only did you have a beautiful friend, but you now have an angel watching over you, Erica. Bad things happen to good people and this is a fantastic example. Amazing dedication to her. All the BEST to you! 💞 * By the way, your video has motivated me to get my cancer screening done. I put it off and put it off. Why? Bcuz "life gets busy." So, thank you!!!

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you so much! Yes, she is my angel...and I am glad this motivated you to get the screening done.

Stage 4 cancer thru her bones, everywhere, chemo poisoning her, she still was GORGEOUS. Life is so UNFAIR. Picture of health. Dies of cancer as a kid basically at the beginning of her life. I'm crying. I didn't know her, but her saying my body went thru the RINGER, instead of the WRINGER, made Me love her. RIP sweet girl.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Awe, thank you for your support.

[@salgadlo]

What a beautiful soul!! Anyone who had the pleasure to know her in person was extremely lucky to have hang out with an angel!

[@EricaBrookhart]

That's right! Thanks so much!

[@tommiedoehrman4097]

[@krisdan76]

A beautiful Homage .Thankyou for sharing .

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank YOU for watching and your support.

[@hellekimery9537]

For Shirley - nice, that's what you had to contribute ? They didn't honor their marriage vows ? You said it obviously meant nothing to them ! How would YOU know? Did you and a partner travel this road together , so that you have the authority to speak on this matter ? Because unless you walked in their shoes, went through the constant agony and fighting to pay bills just so she could have treatment - all of it - so so stressful, that I know I can't imagine !! But YOU, know better appraently hmm ? It never fails, there always have to be 1or 2 nasty, shortsighted and oh so self-righteous people who can find something judgmental and nasty to say, and completly miss the point, or the message of this sad and difficult story of a beautiful person, who left too young ! You make me honestly pissed off, and didn't your mother teach you , that if you have nothing nice to say - say nothing ? Well I'm telling you - shut up, keep your arrogant judgment to yourself.!

[@elizabethbaird1884]

Love in Action Erica. Love in Action. Both you, and Trycia. Such a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to a Magnificent Woman. From another. Bless you! Love, Elizabeth xx

[@EricaBrookhart]

[@burz96]

Absolutely beautiful, had me in tears. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal story. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a loved one but that day is fast approaching for me.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you for your kind words. Sorry to hear about your loved one. Stay strong.

[@yossiarias6791]

Life isn't fair... Thank you Erica for sharing such an emotional journey. Trycia seemed to be such full of life right until the end... Her smile always illuminated the room... RIP Tricya

[@EricaBrookhart]

Awe, thank you Yossi! I love when people recognize the affect of her smile. Thanks for your support.

[@lizhenry5783]

What a beautiful tribute to your friend. Trycia seemed like she must have been happiness personified.

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you, Liz. Yes, she was full of Joy.

[@MichaelKPerry]

Such a heart-felt tribute to a soul with so much life and love...we can never know why some have to pass so young; life seems so unfair at times. When someone that close to a person dies, a part of you dies with them...but the greatest thing is that although she died, she never really died in your soul and heart; her memory will live on. You were such a great person to her and I know it was extremely difficult with the days of sorrow and helplessness...your unselfishness is very apparent in this video. I don't know either of you...but as a human, I love you both. God bless

[@EricaBrookhart]

Thank you so much, Michael! This means a lot. Hugs.

[@kristinowens899]

Thank you!

[@grateful1929]

My best friend of 56 years passed away from cancer three years ago. We had been best friends since we were six years old. I know that she is with Jesus in Heaven and I will see her again. I still hurt and I still can't talk about her without crying even though I know where she is at and that I will see her again. To lose your best friend of so many years is like losing one of my sisters. I am very very sorry for your loss. 😢

[@EricaBrookhart]

Awe, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. It's so hard, isn't it? But she still talks to me.

[@artgirlpats1032]

[@EricaBrookhart]

Wow, thanks so much for your support. Sorry to hear about your mom.

[@elaineeast-byers2339]

What a beautiful soul. I raise monies every year for cancer. She has taught me to keep on - I was going to stop. Now I think I need to continue - number 22 should be next September.
