Time of Death

I just got done watching a marathon viewing of all 6 episodes of Time of Death, a series my friend recommended. I was instantly hooked on this sensitive series about real people at the end of their life, the choices they make about treatment and how to die. It has the effect of lifting the veil of mystery around death--something we aren't very comfortable with in America. There will be a lot of people who won't or can't handle the powerful subject---and there are plenty of tears---but ultimately it was incredibly life affirming. The family that is featured is a beautiful bunch of people that you will root for and remember long after this series is over. Not that I'm wishing for more people to die, but since it is an inevitability, I hope there will be more episodes to come.

I've never reviewed anything but this series is totally gripping & moving. It shows what's inevitable for each & every one of us.... death. I think it takes some of the fear out of dying. Following the "Little " family was heartbreaking & hopeful all at the same time. The transformation & growth of this family was beautiful to watch. The older sister was an inspiration to watch .

I'm not one to write reviews about shows I have watched. With that said, this show has compelled me to immediately write a review.

This show centers around a number of people who are terminally ill. They allow cameras to record their final stages of this life. The tone of the documentary series is sad, and beautiful all at once. You can't help but feel empathy for the subjects and their families. Many people are afraid of what's going to happen to them after they die. The process of dying, and the unknown, is all very frightening. These amazing people share their journey with us, and it is truly remarkable. I have cried during every episode. I'm not one for crying during movies, documentaries, or television shows. However, this was the exception. I could really empathize with the subjects and their families. I was holding my grandfathers hand when he took his last breath in hospice care and I know how much it hurts to lose someone. It's a feeling that has ultimately stuck with me; it's made me a stronger person. If you choose to watch this, please have tissues near by. it's a tear jerker, and it really makes you put your life into prospective.

This is a powerful doc about love, life, and death! The director is raw and emotional about the sickness of her mother. She is absolutely phenomenal!!! I have watched this series four times and I am always looking for new work from her!!!

Moving series about the process of death. Did an excellent job covering the feelings of families and patients. Very sad, but there will be a time we will have to face death. Helps you come to terms and gives me peace with the process. I pray for the families comfort and strength during their time of bereavement.
