  This was so sad. I have stage 4 breast cancer & when I was first diagnosed, my sibling refused to accept it. It wasn’t til I started losing my hair that they realized this was actually happening to me. It’s hard to face our mortality, & that of the people we love. This was so good.

  Dealing with the imminent death of somebody we love is not obvious at all. Each person has his/her own way to cope with this inevitable and terrifying issue. The behavior of some people &nbsp;could be hard to understand for others. Most of the time, we&apos;re hasty to judge people who seem «odd», even reprehensive regarding our own values and standards. <br><br>For instance, the behavior of this young woman can easily make us think she&apos;s a heartless and insensitive woman. In my opinion, she&apos;s afraid about seeing her mother die. The idea of loosing her mother is too much for her. All along this short movie, we can see the turmoil of this woman (the tranquilizing medication she takes is a proof of it), tormented by a mysterious and looked like ominous character, in the shadow. <br><br>This woman is constantly teared between the guilt of not being with her dying mother and her fear of the terrible fate that awaits her. This is a harsh and demanding dilemma that a lot of people have to struggle with. At the end, we understand that this character is, in fact, the mother of this woman. The luminous end of this movie underlines very aptly, by contrast, the dark and harrowing atmosphere that prevailed before. And the calm, peaceful expression on the face of the main character is on the same wavelength with this bright mood.<br><br>Please, forgive me to put myself under the spotlights. But I was the care giver of my mother a whole year (2015-6), while she was facing the lungs cancer that took her, eight years ago. For me, this demanding period was the most stressing and meaningful time of my life. Living with somebody you cherish the most in the world, knowing that this person will leave you definitively in a few months, makes you feel all the importance of being present and loving for those who count the most for you. Also, it makes us aware how much the life is fleeting and, therefore, precious. Even if I never have adopted the escaping behavior of this unfortunate woman, I can understand why she acts like this. And that&apos;s why I like so much this short movie.

  Lost my mom in 2022 from cancer &amp; to think anyone would reject seeeing thier loved ones dying is the hardest thing to face but you need to be there &amp; you need to say the things you must before they are gone . As hard as it it if you don&apos;t you will live with regret for the rest of your life . I was not one to run away as she does &amp; i feel sorry for her at the end as she may think she will be OK but that&apos;s not going to really happen. A hard short to watch if you feel as she did cause once they are gone you can&apos;t go back. &nbsp;All the pills in the world won&apos;t fix what you do when you choose the wrong path. &nbsp;Grief is the real horror of losing a loved one.

  The horror of losing a parent to a slow degenerative disease is so sad

  This was well written, and the actress was phenomenal. As someone who went through the anxiety and depression of taking care of a dying parent, I understood what she was feeling.

  Like many people, I&apos;ve dealt with coming to terms and dealing with the loss of family members who had succumbed to cancer. I kept it together until she finally said, &quot;I don&apos;t want you to go.&quot;<br>I really lost it. Can&apos;t stop crying.<br>This was well done.

  WOW, that really hits home. I remember my mother being ill but no one told me how bad she was. (I lived overseas so I guess no one wanted to worry me) It was only when my dad phoned to say that she wanted to see me that alarm bells rang in my head. I went back home only to find out how bad she really was, I stayed for a few days when she called me to her bedroom and said &quot;Paul go home to your family there is nothing you can do here? I just want to go now but please don&apos;t tell your father.&quot; I gave her a kiss and I said &quot;I won&apos;t see you again will I mum.&quot; I turned my back and left the room holding back my tears until I got to her garden. I went back to mine and two days later got the call that she had passed. That was over 11 years ago and is still in my mind like it was yesterday.
