“How can I die gracefully and not be a burden to my children?”
The preview video released with the phrase, ‘Why are we more afraid of growing old than dying?’ gained popularity with a high number of views. In particular, the video uploaded to
In a home video of happy times spent with children in their youth, they ask, “How can I die gracefully and not be a burden to my children?” The voice of an elderly woman calmly expressing her honest concerns, saying, “How can I prepare for death on my own,” touched the hearts of many people. At the end, the comment “This is a story about people dying and the ‘quality of dying’” was mentioned, raising curiosity about the program and what kind of content it would cover.
Viewers who watched the video said, “How can such a plan and such phrases come about?”, “I really have to watch this,” “EBS teaches from the cradle to the grave,” and “This is something I’ve been worried about since my 20s… I really like it.” He expressed his expectations for the program by leaving comments such as “Even the introduction touches my heart.”
Couldn’t he prepare for the end on his own in a warm home-like place rather than the white walls of a hospital?
In addition, the poster showing the back of an elderly person contemplating the end of life arouses curiosity about their lives and stories, and makes us think again about the quality of death.
The background of the poster is a Japanese nursing facility that provides innovative and alternative elderly care services that appears in Part 3, ‘Fear of Growing Old Rather than Dying.’ Elderly people who have a home-like living space, who have symptoms of dementia or who have difficulty moving their bodies, are seen as a ‘characteristic’ rather than a ‘problem’ and are not confined or bound, but are guaranteed freedom, allowing them to do what they can do on their own. Let it happen.
Rather than the typical image of us having to spend our lives free in hospitals and facilities surrounded by white walls and beds, it shows us preparing for the end of our lives in a home-like environment, and what kind of death we want to face. It makes you wonder if you need something. Furthermore, it deals with social issues related to ‘death’, raising curiosity about whether there is more to the story.
Staying at a hospice hospital for 5 months, I watched people living closest to death and recorded them in an unvarnished manner. Through these records, I show the role of modern medicine needed for those facing death and what our society’s perspective is. . How will we prepare for and face death?
