This IS why doctors need so many nurses to feel what they can't
Wow.
People in North America could care less what happens to their elderly parents, they put them in nursing homes and forget about them, they conveniently agree that "it's best for them" and that getting old is some kind of disease instead of natural process. My mom is 88 and lives at home with us, I NEVER see anyone taking their elderly parents out the way we do.
What a MAN!
He is a very good communicator.
So inspiring. I've seen this speech over years. Beautifull message!
❤❤❤❤❤🎈
Dang🫤
I guess Black Lives Matter at the end of the life 😂
Yours words reminded me of what it means to just be. Thank for your human warmth.
I just salute him.
Harmony with nature , old chinese sayings.
a great speech
Amazingly meaningful.
I get the feeling this man was a renegade with little thought to suffering or empathy and now he is training that last nerve.
Wow. I'm extremely touched.
The wisdom that comes through suffering and by considering death. His way of living shines so bright, so deep, so wide. Rich, meaningful, emotional. Beautiful. Life in its purest form as far as I see it
Eu também já vi a morte e não fui. E já não tenho medo de morrer , só de sofrer, como disse o BJ Miller, dda dor. E mais, de deixar os que me amam a sofrer, mais ainda isso. Mais que isso de não ter amado e vivido o suficiente. Adorei o testemunho, um exemplo de ser humano, coragem , bom profissional, decerto bom marido, pai, amigo. Uma inspiração e um testemunho que vou certamente partilhar e de certa forma dar uma força e um apoio ainda que indiretamente a muitas pessoas que conheço e precisam. Eu tenho depressão e ansiedade, já tive burn out mas digo, cada um tem a sua singularidade, a sua dor, mas também a sua luz como o diz- sou Assistente Social, soube proteger os outros mas não me soube proteger e isso e tantas outras coisas. Parabéns, Obrigada.
Kinda boring.
Thank you 🌷
Wow I understand some of this makes me feel OLD…
There is beauty in every present moment ❤❤❤
Great presentation. I'll always remember the image of the "snowball in the glass of water." Thanks.
He really want cry🥺
I needed this. I am paralyzed with fear as my partner deals with stage 4 prostate cancer. Paralyzed. We had a conversation just last night that I am not ok with his death. So I shield him thinking that will save him and prolong his life.
One of the best ted talks I have watched. Thank you! You are such a beautiful man!
Trauma woke this man up to the small & simple beauty in life, hes giving this discussion because it doesn't have to be that way, its Y the discussion is happening, as world, as nation ,as family, as individual we must continue the discussion. its no differn't thousands years ago when someone made jewelry or created agriculture, keep chickens, or painted a vase of flowers or gave someone a herb when they got hert. create community collegescreate community colleges.
I was a hospice volunteer for veterans, and what an amazing experience I was privileged to be a part of. I never once heard any of my ephemeral friends wish for more time, or state even a hint of the fear of death – I did however come to find understanding and acceptance from a fellow veteran without judgement, was what comforted many and allowed a peaceful passing… Some shared with me horrific experiences wrought from war that I believe I was the only one to ever be told. You could feel the weight lifted as if a tick on a checklist that had been completed.
I also witnessed growth even as their bodies failed. I witnessed redemption by a change of mind. I discovered for many that above all else, dignity was what they wished afforded to them; not pity, not sadness, not platitudes; simply being treated with dignity. I am so grateful for what I have learned, how I view my own mortality, and absolutely what I want and don't want if I am in a similar situation.
Thank you, on behalf of physicians around the world, for reminding us the essence of what we do.
Wow this person is a WOW… d'ont forget music ,it is very healing
This was just amazing. I feel inspired and have never seen someone give a speech so well.

I read sadness deep in his eyes, but he is strong & powerful. Glory to him !

한국 사는게 더러워서 죽고싶다
Sometimes, people understand something early..
Thank yo so much, i needed to hear this! Caring for a parent and son.❤
nothing
It is funny to see how at the beginning of the talk he keeps making funny comments and no one laughs. Tough crowd.
''Let death be what takes us. Not lack of imagination''
bjs matter
