The Nurse with the Purple Hair

Was drawn to this film because my mom used to work in a hospice. good insider's view on an overlooked group of the population. we all get old, and we all eventually die, so how we care for the aging is something we all should ponder

As someone who has had several members of their family in Hospice care, I can say that this film tugs at the heart because it shows a simple glance at those who care for those who are on their way out of this world.

My grandmother was in a facility that took exceptional care of her, and cared for her around the clock as she died of Pancreatic Cancer. Just knowing that these people are out there dedicating their lives ensuring that those who are leaving pass with dignity and love. It allowed us, the family to visit them in good spirits instead of feeling shamed, or in pain, or just rotting away dying.

This film brought back those memories, and they are filled with fondness of my grandmother who, when passed, did so with ease and in comfort. The only reason why, the nurses in the Hospice that took care of her around the clock. Ensuring she was comfortable.

As we get older, this will undoubtedly happen to us all or at least someone we are related to and this film gives us hope that not only are there still good people willing to care for the dying, but also, that there is hope in humanity because of them. This film is well worth watching for one simple reason, hope.

What a beautiful gift and recognition to those that dedicate their work and their lives to delivering compassionate care in the final moments of our lives. This film provides a helpful and necessary insight into the industry. A must watch!

It's a very necessary film. Everybody will learn from it.

With an often overlooked topic such as hospice care in the media, this documentary really brings the conversation to the forefront of people's minds in such a poetic way, you are really drawn in and touched by the compassion expressed here. I'm really glad this was made and I hope more people share the sentiment!
