Going Home

Season 1, Episode 6:

I'm new to the Going Home series, having only viewed episode 6 so far, but I'm so moved and inspired I plan to go back and watch from the beginning. What a beautiful premise for a Christian based show-to help people transition who are soon to pass away, as well as the family and friends left behind.

Charley Copeland, played by Cynthia Geary, is a hospice nurse who is faithful and obedient to her calling-helping families during these difficult times. She is gentle, kind, empathic, and easy to connect with. Exactly what I'd hope for in such a sensitive calling. I also want to give special kudos to Cozi Zuehlsdorff, who plays young hospice nurse Janey Richards. Her character offers a special ray of light, zest, and compassion to this show! No matter what these kindhearted nurses are going through on a personal level, they wear smiles on their faces to comforts weary hearts.

In this episode, Charley and her fellow colleagues assist Charley's childhood friend, Katherine, as she battles her last days with cancer. Charley is having an especially difficult time because she loves her friend, but still does what she can to help Katherine's husband and children cope through faith, prayer, and companionship.

Though parts of the episode are certainly sad, ironic humor offers a bit of levity. Also, the emphasis on positivity, such as forgiveness, faith, courage, and acceptance is heartening.

This emotional yet uplifting show is a must see. It brought my loved ones who have passed to mind as well as helped me face those I may lose in the future. Something Charley said in the trailer really stood out to me: "Death isn't the opposite of life...it's a part of life."

Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

This series has ministered to me. I am a hospice nurse and honestly at first I thought there was no way a show could do justice to hospice work. How wrong I was. This is an amazing beautiful work and it is portrayed almost perfectly in this series. And the characters....they are amazing. Kudos to the actors who are portraying the nurses, staff and parents. I want to hug each and every one of you. And most of all, thank you all for the way you honor God throughout every episode. He IS our home and He loves it when we open our eyes to His loving grace. God bless each and every one of you who bring this show to us.

The world needs more shows like this one. I got the trial for pure Flix this week and going home what's the first thing that I watched. This show reminded me of touched by an angel in a way the characters are all very believable and I love how at the end Charlie talks to God about what she's been through during that episode. There is so much bad in the media today it's really nice to find a show like this that makes you feel good. It could easily have been a depressive show but instead every time I've finished an episode I felt really good about life again.

Anyone looking for a series that will really tug at the heart needs to watch this one My only problem is there's just not enough episodes. I did look it up though and apparently there will be a season 2 in the fall of 23 and I am so looking forward to that. I can't say enough good about this show and now I want to watch everything else that they have there. I will definitely subscribe at the end of the week. I wish my mother was still alive she would have truly loved this series.

I was pleasantly surprised after watching the first two episodes on Pure Flix. The main character is loving person but complicated, not the friendliest person. Her sidekick is a goofy zoomer nurse who means well but has a tendency to put her foot in her mouth. It kind of felt like a merging of "Nurse Jackie" and "Touched by an Angel"

Hoping there will be more seasons to this show. The cast is great and the storylines are so real. A great quality show for everyone.also make sure there is a box of tissues in the room. Found that there were lessons in each episode that can be applied in daily life as well as a way to be more compassionate with other people. Also it is good to see a series that show how difficult work life can be yet how people really can enjoy a difficult job by serving others needs.
