-Okay.

154
00:08:32,388 --> 00:08:35,474
BJ:<i> A big part of the reason to give him</i>
<i>this experience</i>

155
00:08:35,683 --> 00:08:40,771
is we are living amidst an epidemic
of denial that we are denying aging,

156
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:43,941
older age and we are denying death.
It's a kind of stress.

157
00:08:44,483 --> 00:08:47,653
It's bad for our blood pressure,
it's bad for our hormonal lives,

158
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:49,655
it's bad for our neurochemistry.

159
00:08:49,905 --> 00:08:52,491
In-- in this way,
there's a physiologic effect directly

160
00:08:52,658 --> 00:08:55,786
on our bodies.
And this stress can shorten a life.

161
00:08:56,579 --> 00:08:59,665
Increasingly we are seeing
multiple peer-reviewed studies

162
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:03,127
that suggest that if we can actually
embrace that reality,

163
00:09:03,335 --> 00:09:06,547
if you can find a way to accept it
and to accommodate being older

164
00:09:06,672 --> 00:09:10,217
that you'll be happier, less depressed,
and maybe you'll actually live longer,

165
00:09:10,634 --> 00:09:13,762
and not by just a day or two

331
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:54,306
<i>I guess what scares me</i>

332
00:16:54,473 --> 00:16:57,392
<i>is the deterioration</i>
<i>of-- of physical capabilities.</i>

333
00:16:58,185 --> 00:17:02,105
Not being mobile, not being able to play
with my grandkids,

334
00:17:02,189 --> 00:17:03,774
not being able to surf,
not being able to be active.

335
00:17:03,982 --> 00:17:04,983
All the things I love to do.

336
00:17:05,317 --> 00:17:09,112
Could be incredibly challenging
but also scary, I'm sure.

337
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:20,457
Great work today, guys,
thank you so much. See you next time.

338
00:17:20,582 --> 00:17:21,458
Good session.

339
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:23,210
You all right there, Chris?

340
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:25,796
-Good. Thank you.
-No worries. Take your time, okay?

341
00:17:26,838 --> 00:17:28,215
-BJ: Hey, bud.
-CHRIS: Hey.

342
00:17:28,507 --> 00:17:32,010
I just wanna check in at the end
of a-- a long day, I'd imagine.

343
00:17:32,177 --> 00:17:35,889
Yeah, very long day.
I feel like I've had an intense workout.

344
00:17:36,098 --> 00:17:38,934
-Well, we're not getting any younger.
-Yeah.

345
00:17:39,101 --> 00:17:42,521
So, Gary, I thought it'd be really helpful
if you shared with Chris

346
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:45,482
some of your background,
story of your younger self.

347
00:17:46,066 --> 00:17:49,945
Well, when I was younger,
I used to be, you know, quite fit.

348
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:53,031
When I was very active and very physical.

349
00:17:53,365 --> 00:17:54,241
Yeah.

350
00:17:54,366 --> 00:17:56,535
You know. And my favorite was in kung fu.

351
00:17:56,827 --> 00:18:00,247
(SLOW TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

352
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:05,961
GARY: <i>It became a huge part of my life,</i>
<i>my identity.</i>

353
00:18:08,797 --> 00:18:12,342
<i>I was really good at it, winning lots</i>
<i>of awards and titles.</i>

354
00:18:14,928 --> 00:18:18,640
<i>I was, at one stage, even awarded</i>
<i>a black belt by the Shaolin Temple.</i>

355
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:22,769
<i>It was really, really something.</i>

356
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:29,568
And then one day, I had an accident,
you know, in the training.

357
00:18:29,693 --> 00:18:32,779
I went too hard and practically
smashed my knee.

358
00:18:34,030 --> 00:18:37,742
As I got older, my body just
never felt the same again.

359
00:18:38,201 --> 00:18:40,829
I could never be what I used to be.

360
00:18:42,706 --> 00:18:45,792
GARY: <i>When you're young, we always think</i>
<i>that we are super or Superman,</i>

361
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:46,960
<i>that we will live forever.</i>

362
00:18:47,127 --> 00:18:48,962
We never give a thought that
as you age,

363
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:53,466
you start to realize that different parts
of the body may start breaking down.

364
00:18:56,595 --> 00:18:57,846
<i>But the truth is,</i>

365
00:18:59,389 --> 00:19:00,557
<i>you will grow old</i>

366
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:02,475
<i>and your body will fail.</i>

367
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:10,942
So, gradually, you know,
you sort of have to accept...

368
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:12,777
-Yeah.
-...the situation.

369
00:19:12,986 --> 00:19:14,529
And that's when Tai Chi came in.

370
00:19:20,702 --> 00:19:23,079
<i>One morning when I was out walking,</i>

371
00:19:23,371 --> 00:19:28,418
<i>I saw a group of elderly people</i>
<i>doing this slow-motion type of exercise.</i>

372
00:19:32,589 --> 00:19:34,007
<i>And the balance that they have,</i>

373
00:19:34,299 --> 00:19:39,429
<i>you know, the flexibility</i>
<i>and the grace got me really curious.</i>

374
00:19:42,724 --> 00:19:44,684
<i>I saw something that I could relate to.</i>

375
00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:47,854
<i>An opportunity....</i>

376
00:19:52,609 --> 00:19:55,403
<i>And so, I started to learn Tai Chi.</i>

377
00:19:58,323 --> 00:20:00,617
<i>And I did it more and more.</i>

378
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:20,262
<i>And as I learn about this,</i>
<i>you know, I found a new way</i>

379
00:20:20,345 --> 00:20:22,931
of connecting to my physicality, you know?

380
00:20:23,014 --> 00:20:28,144
And so, this taught me a lot of things
and a new way of looking and of living.

381
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:33,817
You know. And maybe that is something
that might be useful to you.

382
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:37,362
One of the cruelties we do to each other
is we consider aging a failure,

383
00:20:37,612 --> 00:20:39,155
that our body's failing us.

384
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:42,367
No. No, that's just the way we see it.

385
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:46,997
Even as our body is maybe weakening,
it's opening up something else.

386
00:20:47,372 --> 00:20:49,040
And this may be part of us
is getting smaller,

387
00:20:49,249 --> 00:20:51,918
there's this room for us to get bigger
in some other way.

388
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:55,046
That's when humans really shine,
as we come up against the limit.

389
00:20:55,213 --> 00:20:57,674
-Exactly. Yeah.
-It's a gift in a way, isn't it?

390
00:20:57,882 --> 00:21:00,093
GARY: Yeah, yeah,
it's a kind of revelation

391
00:21:00,385 --> 00:21:03,430
that once you learn to accept things

392
00:21:03,555 --> 00:21:04,556
for what it is,

393
00:21:04,681 --> 00:21:08,852
you actually find something even deeper
and more valuable.

394
00:21:09,352 --> 00:21:12,063
A lot of what you're saying, you know,
rings true to me,

395
00:21:12,188 --> 00:21:14,733
and it-- and it makes you think
this is not a bad kind of...

396
00:21:15,233 --> 00:21:18,945
How to--- how to reframe that
and how to-- how to adjust to it.

397
00:21:19,321 --> 00:21:21,865
How about, let's go
and try out some Tai Chi moves?

398
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:23,408
-Sounds good.
-Okay.

All right, so day one down.
Sunset Pines Retirement Village.

411
00:22:23,676 --> 00:22:27,180
Officially retired and feeling pretty old
after wearing that suit all day,

412
00:22:27,305 --> 00:22:28,306
pretty restrictive.

413
00:22:28,515 --> 00:22:31,726
I started to get kind of irritated,
especially when people were talking to me

414
00:22:33,019 --> 00:22:35,897
the way that I guess a lot of us
talk to elderly people,

415
00:22:36,064 --> 00:22:39,442
which is that sort of, you know,
speaking very clear and "hello."

416
00:22:39,609 --> 00:22:43,029
And there's almost this kind of
patronizing sort of tone to it.

417
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:46,533
So, I hope I don't do that
when I speak to elderly people.

418
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:48,660
Now, I've got to get comfortable
in this room here.

419
00:22:48,785 --> 00:22:51,663
We've got a massive bed here
which looks like something

420
00:22:51,996 --> 00:22:54,249
one of my kids would sleep in.
What else we got in here?

00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:41,643
Very tricky, isn't it?

493
00:26:41,809 --> 00:26:43,478
-What do you feel like? An 80-year-old?
-Yep!

494
00:26:43,603 --> 00:26:45,104
(ALL LAUGH)

495
00:26:45,688 --> 00:26:47,190
Arms feels a little bit heavy.

496
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:50,109
-You're looking a bit stiff.
-I feel a bit stiff.

497
00:26:51,361 --> 00:26:54,155
So, what's the secret?
How have you guys stayed so active?

498
00:26:54,489 --> 00:26:56,532
-I swim and I walk.
-CHRIS: Yeah.

499
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:59,786
You know, and I get out and do stuff.
I swim all winter.

500
00:27:00,078 --> 00:27:02,288
-I'm pretty active at 80, so it's not bad.
-Yeah.

501
00:27:02,497 --> 00:27:06,709
I think as well as being physically active
at the same time, keep your mind active.

502
00:27:06,918 --> 00:27:09,962
You know, build up a good relationship
with your family, your children,

503
00:27:10,171 --> 00:27:12,465
grandchildren...
make a lot of friends.

504
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,758
Yeah.

505
00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:16,511
And-- and while you're doing that,
you will also helping yourself

506
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,304
in maintaining your youth.

507
00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:23,768
BJ: <i>So, if Chris can accept getting older</i>
<i>and drop this notion</i>

508
00:27:23,893 --> 00:27:25,269
<i>of physical independence,</i>

509
00:27:25,687 --> 00:27:27,897
that's when he can learn
to rely on others.

510
00:27:28,564 --> 00:27:31,943
<i>He's going to have to adopt</i>
<i>a bigger sense of himself</i>

511
00:27:32,026 --> 00:27:36,406
that can accommodate frailty,
and vulnerability, and old age.

512
00:27:37,407 --> 00:27:40,827
<i>This is the lesson if you can learn</i>
<i>to accept that fact.</i>

513
00:27:40,952 --> 00:27:44,789
That's when we get to experience
just how connected we all are

514
00:27:44,872 --> 00:27:48,626
to each other and to the world around us.
This is very, very good for your health.

515
00:27:49,502 --> 00:27:52,088
-So, you got children?
-Yep. Three kids.

516
00:27:52,296 --> 00:27:53,214
How old?

517
00:27:53,464 --> 00:27:57,260
-Nine and seven. Two twin boys at seven.
-Oh!

518
00:27:57,385 --> 00:27:59,721
-Yeah.
-They were fun when they were babies.

519
00:27:59,971 --> 00:28:00,888
Yes, they're fun now.

520
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:05,727
You miss them when you are out
and about doing

521
00:28:05,935 --> 00:28:07,770
-your acting?
-Yeah, definitely. Yep.

522
00:28:07,937 --> 00:28:09,063
Yep. Yep.

523
00:28:11,399 --> 00:28:13,735
NATALIE: It's looking good. Well done.

524
00:28:14,444 --> 00:28:18,072
-Oh, Chris. Tell me about yours.
-I'm not sure what it is.

525
00:28:18,364 --> 00:28:20,408
It's like me crossed with a koala.

526
00:28:20,992 --> 00:28:22,493
(ALL CHUCKLE)

527
00:28:23,745 --> 00:28:25,705
CHRIS: I just need a eucalyptus leaf
to be chewin' on.

528
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,165
NATALIE: No, looks great.

529
00:28:41,429 --> 00:28:42,472
BJ: Hey, bud.

530
00:28:42,764 --> 00:28:44,182
-Hello.
-How you doing?

531
00:28:44,932 --> 00:28:45,850
CHRIS: Just...

532
00:28:46,392 --> 00:28:50,772
remove the-- the suit for a minute.
Just a... Yeah, it's just so good to...

533
00:28:50,938 --> 00:28:52,064
It's nice to have a breather.

534
00:28:52,607 --> 00:28:54,776
-Feel good to take it off?
-It does, yeah.

535
00:28:54,859 --> 00:28:56,319
Well, good news.

536
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:59,739
-(CHUCKLES)
-You get to be done with that suit.

537
00:28:59,947 --> 00:29:01,407
That experiment is over.

538
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:03,034
Wonderful.

539
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:04,869
Yeah, I'll leave it right here
on the couch.

540
00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:06,412
Right, oh. Exactly.

541
00:29:07,413 --> 00:29:09,665
The major lesson here is acceptance.

542
00:29:09,999 --> 00:29:13,211
There's certain things or certain battles
we're just not going to win

543
00:29:13,377 --> 00:29:15,171
and you're not going
to beat that suit...

544
00:29:15,254 --> 00:29:16,172
Yeah.

545
00:29:16,339 --> 00:29:18,049
...and you're not going to beat aging
and that's okay.

546
00:29:18,216 --> 00:29:22,303
Yeah. But then how do you come
to terms with that? How do people accept?

547
00:29:24,305 --> 00:29:27,517
For me, just couple things
to tell you about.

548
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,310
I-- So, when I was 19,

549
00:29:30,102 --> 00:29:31,395
a sophomore in college...

550
00:29:34,774 --> 00:29:36,150
<i>you know, life was really good.</i>

551
00:29:39,070 --> 00:29:40,613
<i>Then sophomore fall,</i>

552
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:43,533
friends of mine and I,
we were screwing around

553
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:46,786
on our commuter train
and my buds and I,

554
00:29:46,953 --> 00:29:49,372
we just climbed it
like you climb a tree.

555
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:51,457
There was just a parked train
just sitting there.

556
00:29:52,041 --> 00:29:55,795
But when I stood up,
I had a metal watch on my wrist.

557
00:29:56,254 --> 00:29:58,881
And when I stood up,
I was close enough to the power source,

558
00:29:58,965 --> 00:30:02,718
the electricity arced to the watch.
Instantaneous big explosion,

559
00:30:02,844 --> 00:30:07,431
and in a moment just, you know,
everything changed in a way.

560
00:30:13,104 --> 00:30:16,816
I lost one arm below the elbow
and both legs below the knee,

561
00:30:19,068 --> 00:30:21,028
<i>and I came very close to death.</i>

562
00:30:27,410 --> 00:30:28,744
<i>It broke me down.</i>

563
00:30:30,204 --> 00:30:32,915
<i>My life was over. I was just pure loss.</i>

564
00:30:36,794 --> 00:30:39,422
<i>And I thought, "Who am I, now?"</i>

565
00:30:43,593 --> 00:30:47,847
This forced me to reimagine myself.

566
00:30:48,264 --> 00:30:50,683
Adaptation was only going
to get me so far.

567
00:30:51,434 --> 00:30:52,643
I had to accept it.

568
00:30:53,853 --> 00:30:56,272
<i>And somewhere along the way,</i>
<i>it took me a few years,</i>

569
00:30:56,606 --> 00:31:00,234
but there came a point
where I let that old body,

570
00:31:00,526 --> 00:31:03,112
that old sense of self, I let him go.

571
00:31:06,449 --> 00:31:07,742
<i>He died.</i>

572
00:31:09,410 --> 00:31:11,037
<i>What was in store for me...</i>

573
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:19,086
<i>I knew that my identity didn't exist</i>
<i>in my feet.</i>

574
00:31:23,841 --> 00:31:25,676
<i>I look at myself in the mirror</i>
<i>every once in a while and say,</i>

575
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:28,846
<i>"This is my life. This is it.</i>
<i>This is-- this is my life."</i>

576
00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:41,275
<i>I think this is a part of acceptance</i>
<i>is where you actually</i>

577
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,443
<i>let the change happen.</i>

578
00:31:53,871 --> 00:31:55,831
-(DOG BARKS)
-Come on.

579
00:31:56,082 --> 00:31:57,083
That's it.

580
00:31:58,042 --> 00:31:59,210
Good girl.

581
00:32:05,091 --> 00:32:06,759
BJ: <i>That was a big, big deal for me.</i>

582
00:32:06,842 --> 00:32:09,178
<i>Those years following my accident</i>
<i>and learning to play</i>

583
00:32:09,261 --> 00:32:11,180
<i>with how I saw myself in the world.</i>

584
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:19,563
<i>My sense of self had expanded</i>
<i>to the point where not only</i>

585
00:32:19,772 --> 00:32:21,607
<i>I could accommodate limb loss.</i>

586
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,277
<i>But I started making meaning</i>
<i>and making sense of my experience.</i>

587
00:32:25,403 --> 00:32:28,239
<i>I went into medicine</i>
<i>and fell immediately in love</i>

588
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:29,615
<i>with palliative care.</i>

589
00:32:33,953 --> 00:32:35,913
People usually have a misunderstanding
of it that it's all about

590
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,164
end of life and death.

591
00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:40,501
<i>But my job is to treat suffering</i>
<i>and to help people</i>

592
00:32:40,626 --> 00:32:42,128
<i>find meaning in their life.</i>

593
00:32:42,211 --> 00:32:45,381
<i>So, you could also say it's something</i>
<i>of a philosophy.</i>

594
00:32:45,548 --> 00:32:46,549
Come on. Right here.

595
00:32:47,883 --> 00:32:51,595
<i>My story is dramatic,</i>
<i>but it's just a variation on a theme.</i>

596
00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:55,766
<i>We all suffer, we all bump up</i>
<i>against things that we can't control.</i>

597
00:32:59,395 --> 00:33:01,731
<i>And that brings us to this point</i>
<i>of acceptance</i>

598
00:33:02,064 --> 00:33:03,941
<i>and that's a place</i>
<i>where I'm trying to move Chris.</i>

599
00:33:08,112 --> 00:33:11,991
CHRIS:<i> Talking with BJ, I find myself</i>
<i>in awe of his attitude.</i>

600
00:33:12,575 --> 00:33:16,037
He went through one
of the toughest experiences

601
00:33:16,245 --> 00:33:18,372
someone can go through
at a very young age too,

602
00:33:19,373 --> 00:33:22,501
<i>and yet he's accepted that experience,</i>

603
00:33:22,626 --> 00:33:26,255
<i>and I find that such a beautiful approach</i>
<i>to life.</i>

604
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:36,140
So, are you starting to get a little hint,

605
00:33:36,223 --> 00:33:38,642
a little glimmer
at this thing called acceptance?

606
00:33:39,852 --> 00:33:44,440
Yeah, I mean, one thing I've accepted
and come to terms with is

607
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:46,400
that I-- I don't feel invincible,
you know.

608
00:33:46,484 --> 00:33:49,111
And the really interesting thing
that certainly I think about is, like,

609
00:33:49,278 --> 00:33:53,783
well, there will come a day when
you can't take the suit off and...

610
00:33:54,075 --> 00:33:55,534
that's an intimidating...

611
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:58,287
-thought for me, you know?
-Mm-hmm.

612
00:33:58,454 --> 00:34:00,122
-It's a big one.
-Yeah.

613
00:34:03,751 --> 00:34:05,669
Yeah, so, it stirs up
a whole lot of

614
00:34:06,587 --> 00:34:09,048
ideas and-- and thoughts.

615
00:34:09,381 --> 00:34:14,303
And, you know, I-- I think just living
in that space of sort of goal-orientated

616
00:34:14,428 --> 00:34:17,848
-kind of get through this checklist first.
-Mm-hmm.

617
00:34:19,141 --> 00:34:21,268
It can also be sort of dangerous, right?
Like a--

618
00:34:21,477 --> 00:34:22,978
-Absolutely.
-'Cause it's the assumption

619
00:34:23,104 --> 00:34:25,231
that you have time to get through it
rather than going...

620
00:34:25,689 --> 00:34:26,607
Right.

621
00:34:26,816 --> 00:34:28,234
-Man.
-There may not be a tomorrow.

622
00:34:28,317 --> 00:34:30,277
Yeah, absolutely. Yep.

623
00:34:30,653 --> 00:34:33,405
I've come to learn how hard it is
to actually be in the moment.

624
00:34:33,656 --> 00:34:35,032
Is that a skill you have?

625
00:34:35,533 --> 00:34:36,742
It's something I...

626
00:34:37,535 --> 00:34:40,996
am aware
that I-- I-- I want to achieve...

627
00:34:41,205 --> 00:34:42,623
and be better at, you know.

628
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:44,750
But...

629
00:34:45,084 --> 00:34:48,462
you know. Being in it,
being brutally honest with myself.

630
00:34:48,963 --> 00:34:51,549
I'm not. And now...

631
00:34:54,301 --> 00:34:56,512
I'm sort of going,
"What's really important?" You know?

632
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:59,265
You know, I just feel like I'm sort of,
you know, busier and busier and busier,

633
00:34:59,431 --> 00:35:02,726
and I'm not even with the kids
as much as I want to be.

634
00:35:03,394 --> 00:35:04,854
But like, I think about it--

635
00:35:05,729 --> 00:35:07,148
that a lot,
you know, and just...

636
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:12,069
Just the sort of fragility of it all.

637
00:35:17,324 --> 00:35:19,618
(EXHALES DEEPLY)

638
00:35:35,259 --> 00:35:36,927
I just wanna get this right.

639
00:35:39,638 --> 00:35:40,764
It...

640
00:35:44,226 --> 00:35:46,187
I've been working so much for...

641
00:35:47,188 --> 00:35:48,314
ten or twelve years now,

642
00:35:49,815 --> 00:35:53,569
and found a lot of, you know,
my memories have...

643
00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:58,073
it felt like they are in fast forward,
and wishing I had a sort of pause

644
00:35:58,199 --> 00:35:59,366
and taken more time.

645
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:01,035
And...

646
00:36:01,952 --> 00:36:03,454
it makes me think about a story

647
00:36:03,579 --> 00:36:06,081
my mom was telling me about.
The experience she had recently,

648
00:36:06,165 --> 00:36:10,377
where she thought she was facing
the end of her life for a brief moment.

649
00:36:12,296 --> 00:36:14,715
And that she felt...

650
00:36:15,758 --> 00:36:18,385
complete peace with her experiences

651
00:36:18,469 --> 00:36:22,097
in the fact that she had many people
around her that loved her,

652
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:25,100
many people that she loved
and she had a very full life,

653
00:36:25,226 --> 00:36:29,730
and I think it affected me because I...

654
00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:34,151
I don't want to find myself
rushing through things anymore.

655
00:36:38,864 --> 00:36:40,532
<i>Yeah. This experience is making me</i>

656
00:36:40,699 --> 00:36:42,826
<i>want to press pause</i>

Well.

I come from Fiji and I come
from a chiefly family,

712
00:39:29,576 --> 00:39:34,373

I was closer to him than to my parents.

<i>To him, I am the small baby brother</i>

<i>And everywhere he goes</i>
<i>I'm always behind him.</i>

716

717
00:39:52,975 --> 00:39:54,852
<i>From childhood, right up until</i>

718

<i>and he's always looking after me.</i>

720
00:40:02,359 --> 00:40:04,069

being the eldest of the family,

724
00:40:11,326 --> 00:40:14,163
he had to take over the role of chief.

725
00:40:19,251 --> 00:40:20,878

the loss that I suffered

838

day, like, I don't know.

I was just putting on 50 years.

842
00:47:48,158 --> 00:47:50,410
-Yeah. Yep.
-And it's really, really shocking,

843
00:47:50,911 --> 00:47:53,246
not-- not having those years to adapt.

844
00:47:53,622 --> 00:47:55,290
And I think nature gave you that...

-steps to get used to me in a way.
-Yeah.

846
00:47:59,419 --> 00:48:01,963
It's pretty intense diving straight into.
This is what... Yeah.

847
00:48:02,047 --> 00:48:04,966
Yeah. It's just... it's really
confronting.

848
00:48:05,675 --> 00:48:07,260
No, it was quite shocking
when I saw you then.

849
00:48:07,427 --> 00:48:10,388
I was like, "Oh! Wait, wait."
Been robbed of 50 years.

850
00:48:11,222 --> 00:48:13,934

-Yeah.

Be careful with my back.

what exactly is a death doula?

and the family through the process.

...pine one here.

All the sort of fancy timbers feel
a little bit of a waste, don't they?

wasn't it?

What do you think of coffins generally?

963
00:54:37,525 --> 00:54:41,446
You-- I don't know, I kind of maybe
would prefer to be cremated, I guess.

964
00:54:42,613 --> 00:54:45,408
Rather than cocooned up
in some space,

965
00:54:45,575 --> 00:54:47,410
there's something sort of
claustrophobic about that thought.

-Oh.
-Yeah.

967
00:54:49,078 --> 00:54:50,830
And maybe you could just--
you could throw me in the ocean

968
00:54:50,913 --> 00:54:52,832
and the sharks could have at me, and--

969
00:54:52,957 --> 00:54:54,459
-Throw your body in the ocean?
-Yeah.

970
00:54:54,917 --> 00:54:57,962
I'm curious about how you view
what happens after death.

971
00:54:58,504 --> 00:55:02,050
I don't know. I remember as a kid,
sort of lying awake at night,

972
00:55:02,133 --> 00:55:04,302
thinking about the idea of nothing,

973
00:55:04,469 --> 00:55:08,056
you know, and... poof... just that's it,
you know, forever...

974
00:55:08,264 --> 00:55:09,724
-Yeah.
-...you know? And not just forever,

975
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:11,309
-but forever, forever, forever, you know?
-Forever.

976
00:55:11,434 --> 00:55:13,811
And it used to kinda--
And it'd, like, keep me up.

977
00:55:13,978 --> 00:55:15,563
You know, it was this, like,

978
00:55:16,397 --> 00:55:17,982
just that complete empty, nothing,

979
00:55:18,274 --> 00:55:19,692
gone kind of idea.

980
00:55:20,443 --> 00:55:21,736
Scared the hell out of me.

981
00:55:21,861 --> 00:55:24,113
The reality is, as we know,
that it could be at any point in time...

982
00:55:24,238 --> 00:55:25,782
-Yeah.
-...right? You know, often people

983
00:55:25,865 --> 00:55:28,701
think about the end of life
as some faraway notion.

984
00:55:29,077 --> 00:55:31,245
Like it's something that happens
out there, over there

985
00:55:31,371 --> 00:55:33,456
and it comes far sooner
than most people are ready for,

986
00:55:33,706 --> 00:55:38,628
which is why opportunities like this one,
to be present to mortality, is so useful.

at the end of their days?

989
00:55:49,555 --> 00:55:52,183
Being with somebody

990
00:55:52,642 --> 00:55:54,727
as they have just stopped breathing,

991
00:55:55,228 --> 00:55:57,480
to feel the incredible stillness
in the room

992
00:55:57,605 --> 00:55:59,107
after life has just left a body,

993
00:55:59,857 --> 00:56:02,902
is the most simple, yet the most profound.

994
00:56:03,319 --> 00:56:06,864
In that life really does hang
on a single breath.

995
00:56:07,281 --> 00:56:09,242
It's there one minute
and then it's gone the next.

996
00:56:09,742 --> 00:56:12,954
And when it's gone,
it reminds me that I still have

997
00:56:13,079 --> 00:56:17,291
the capacity to breathe, and to live,
and to be engaged, and to love,

998
00:56:17,375 --> 00:56:18,918
and to laugh, and to...

999
00:56:19,127 --> 00:56:21,129
be joyful,
and to wear color, and to...

1000
00:56:21,295 --> 00:56:23,381
-Yeah, yeah.
-...hug, and, you know, dance,

1001
00:56:23,548 --> 00:56:25,508
and to live, to live.

1002
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:26,717
Yeah.

1003
00:56:27,343 --> 00:56:28,428
That's beautiful.

1004
00:56:30,179 --> 00:56:32,890
Later on, today, we're gonna do
a death-bed meditation.

1005
00:56:33,099 --> 00:56:34,976
-Mm.
-Get you closer to your death.

1006
00:56:35,268 --> 00:56:37,603
(CHUCKLES) Okay, great.

1007
00:56:38,020 --> 00:56:40,398
For now, there's somebody
I want you to meet before we do that.

1008
00:56:40,815 --> 00:56:41,691
-Okay.
-You ready?

1009
00:56:41,858 --> 00:56:42,817
-Yeah.
-Let's go.

1010
00:56:46,237 --> 00:56:49,323
ALUA: <i>One of the benefits for somebody</i>
<i>as young and as vital as Chris</i>

1011
00:56:49,449 --> 00:56:53,744
<i>to be talking and thinking about death</i>
<i>is that it really does drive home</i>

1012
00:56:53,911 --> 00:56:57,331
<i>the conversation that this is possible</i>
<i>for anybody at any time.</i>

1013
00:56:58,541 --> 00:56:59,959
-Natalie.
-Hello, Chris.

1014
00:57:00,835 --> 00:57:04,088
But that young people also become sick.

1015
00:57:05,089 --> 00:57:06,757
Saw you in art class the other day.

1016
00:57:07,008 --> 00:57:08,009
Yeah. Hi.

1017
00:57:08,217 --> 00:57:10,595
Hi. Alua said that we should speak.

1018
00:57:10,887 --> 00:57:13,806
Yeah. Well, I'm here to tell you
about my experience

1019
00:57:13,890 --> 00:57:14,807
with stage-four cancer.

1020
00:57:15,641 --> 00:57:18,978
And to be honest, I don't know
how much time I have left.

1021
00:57:19,687 --> 00:57:20,938
I'm 27 now.

1022
00:57:21,314 --> 00:57:25,651
But when I was 20,
I was diagnosed with stage-three melanoma.

1023
00:57:26,611 --> 00:57:28,863
It got into my lymph nodes.

1024
00:57:29,155 --> 00:57:30,948
And so, surgery was my only option.

1025
00:57:31,032 --> 00:57:34,160
So, they cut off my toe,
they got rid of all my lymph nodes.

1026
00:57:34,368 --> 00:57:37,371
And for a 20-year-old, you can imagine,
your life got turned upside-down.

1027
00:57:37,830 --> 00:57:39,081
-Yeah.
-And...

1028
00:57:39,707 --> 00:57:43,002
from there on, I have thought
about death every single day of my life.

1029
00:57:45,838 --> 00:57:49,800
<i>No one at 20 expects to be diagnosed</i>
<i>with cancer.</i>

1030
00:57:52,011 --> 00:57:55,473
<i>No one prepares you</i>
<i>for a diagnosis like that.</i>

1031
00:57:56,140 --> 00:57:59,727
And especially, like, the effects
it has on your family,

1032
00:57:59,810 --> 00:58:03,481
and your friends,
and my whole world changed, pretty much,

1033
00:58:03,856 --> 00:58:05,399
like, overnight.

1034
00:58:09,779 --> 00:58:11,864
<i>Cancer became my overall identity.</i>

1035
00:58:14,283 --> 00:58:16,494
<i>Essentially,</i>
<i>I was referred to as the sick one.</i>

1036
00:58:17,620 --> 00:58:20,373
For a little while there,
I was-- I was really lost.

1037
00:58:20,915 --> 00:58:23,834
And I needed to find that person
who I once was before.

1038
00:58:24,001 --> 00:58:25,294
Yeah.

1039
00:58:26,921 --> 00:58:29,090
NATALIE:
<i>And so, off I went, I went to Venice.</i>

1040
00:58:29,215 --> 00:58:34,512
<i>Not to run away, more to be in a place</i>
<i>where no one knew my story,</i>

1041
00:58:34,637 --> 00:58:39,559
<i>so I could truly figure out myself</i>
<i>and how to live alongside this cancer.</i>

1042
00:58:40,893 --> 00:58:43,980
And I met a boy, I fell in love.

1043
00:58:47,858 --> 00:58:50,027
<i>And he just saw me for me,</i>
<i>which was, honestly,</i>

1044
00:58:50,236 --> 00:58:51,320
<i>really, really beautiful.</i>

1045
00:58:56,409 --> 00:58:59,829
<i>Alexander is genuine and kind.</i>

1046
00:59:00,288 --> 00:59:03,332
<i>And I've often referred to him</i>
<i>as my oak tree.</i>

1047
00:59:05,293 --> 00:59:09,422
He's the person who's just
standing steadfast and he keeps me steady.

1048
00:59:13,342 --> 00:59:16,762
When you have cancer,
you don't know if you can be loved.

1049
00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:20,891
And your relationship with love
and yourself...

1050
00:59:23,227 --> 00:59:24,604
pretty much goes out of the window.

1051
00:59:25,521 --> 00:59:26,939
Love is the most

1052
00:59:28,316 --> 00:59:29,900
amazing thing that we have,

1053
00:59:30,443 --> 00:59:32,403
and that we can experience in this world.

1054
00:59:32,737 --> 00:59:35,615
And the fact that I get
to experience his love, you know...

1055
00:59:36,866 --> 00:59:39,619
he makes me so happy.

1056
00:59:40,328 --> 00:59:41,495
And these are happy tears.

1057
00:59:42,955 --> 00:59:47,585
But three months into our love story,
I came home,

1058
00:59:47,710 --> 00:59:52,298
and I had a routine scan, and they told me
that the cancer was back in my lungs.

1059
00:59:52,882 --> 00:59:54,342
And now, I was stage four.

1060
00:59:55,718 --> 00:59:57,053
So, I told him.

1061
00:59:57,637 --> 00:59:59,347
And then I said,
"I'm breaking up with you."

1062
00:59:59,847 --> 01:00:01,849
And he just turned around

1063
01:00:01,932 --> 01:00:04,727
and was like, "No."
And he was like,

1064
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:07,647
"I'm in this."

1065
01:00:09,857 --> 01:00:12,860
And he says, "I choose all the time
with you that I have.

1066
01:00:13,569 --> 01:00:15,988
It doesn't matter if it's long,
if it's short.

1067
01:00:16,906 --> 01:00:18,199
Well, I choose you."

1068
01:00:24,997 --> 01:00:28,584
<i>It's probably because of my diagnosis</i>
<i>of the way that I look at time.</i>

1069
01:00:30,002 --> 01:00:32,630
<i>The time that anybody has</i>
<i>is so precious.</i>

1070
01:00:32,838 --> 01:00:38,761
<i>So, if you just dive in headfirst,</i>
<i>and use whatever time that you have</i>

1071
01:00:38,844 --> 01:00:42,640
<i>because nobody knows their timelines.</i>
<i>So, we're just going to love each other.</i>

1072
01:00:44,266 --> 01:00:46,018
And we're gonna love each other
no matter what.

1073
01:00:46,686 --> 01:00:48,270
No matter how much time we have left.

1074
01:00:50,564 --> 01:00:52,650
CHRIS: You know,
we talked about acceptance.

1075
01:00:53,317 --> 01:00:58,572
How are you with-- with acceptance?
With that word or with the idea of it?

1076
01:00:58,989 --> 01:01:02,201
I've thought about death every single day
for the past seven years.

1077
01:01:02,868 --> 01:01:04,620
Have I accepted my mortality?

1078
01:01:05,663 --> 01:01:06,831
Yes and no.

1079
01:01:08,791 --> 01:01:12,378
I think people have
a very funny relationship with aging,

1080
01:01:12,545 --> 01:01:13,462
they get really scared of it.

1081
01:01:14,088 --> 01:01:16,674
But in truth, I would love to age.

1082
01:01:16,841 --> 01:01:18,759
I would love nothing more
than to get old,

1083
01:01:19,176 --> 01:01:20,469
and I think that's a gift.

1084
01:01:25,266 --> 01:01:27,685
We're all-- we're all gonna die one day.

1085
01:01:27,977 --> 01:01:31,564
So, you have to really live life
as much as like you can and enjoy it.

1086
01:01:32,481 --> 01:01:34,525
To soak up every single moment.

1087
01:01:35,192 --> 01:01:36,360
-Yeah.
-CHRIS: Yeah.

1088
01:01:41,490 --> 01:01:43,367
NATALIE:
<i>Your life could end at any time.</i>

1089
01:01:43,868 --> 01:01:46,871
<i>So just enjoy life, enjoy time,</i>

1090
01:01:47,830 --> 01:01:49,039
make the most of it.

1091
01:01:49,582 --> 01:01:51,500
And love as much as you can.

1092
01:02:10,686 --> 01:02:13,856
CHRIS:<i> This is a heartbreaking experience,</i>
<i>talking to Natalie</i>

1093
01:02:14,648 --> 01:02:16,859
and listening to her story and-- and...

1094
01:02:18,068 --> 01:02:19,278
hearing someone...

1095
01:02:20,488 --> 01:02:23,240
talk with such grace and-- and maturity

1096
01:02:24,283 --> 01:02:27,453
about something so, so uncertain is,

1097
01:02:28,162 --> 01:02:29,246
is really inspiring.

1098
01:02:30,206 --> 01:02:32,958
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

1099
01:02:45,429 --> 01:02:46,597
-Hello.
-Good to see you.

1100
01:02:46,722 --> 01:02:48,182
-How are you?
-I'm great, man.

1101
01:02:49,558 --> 01:02:50,851
How was your chat with Natalie?

1102
01:02:51,185 --> 01:02:53,020
Yeah, an incredible individual.

1103
01:02:53,103 --> 01:02:54,063
Could you feel that--

1104
01:02:54,730 --> 01:02:57,358
this idea
that there-- tomorrow isn't guaranteed?

1105
01:02:57,525 --> 01:02:58,484
Yeah.

1106
01:02:58,818 --> 01:03:01,570
There's no certainty around that at all.
Do you feel that?

1107
01:03:01,987 --> 01:03:03,197
Absolutely. Yeah.

1108
01:03:03,364 --> 01:03:04,657
There was this sort of...

1109
01:03:05,157 --> 01:03:07,326
essential need to,
sort of, shake the world

1110
01:03:07,493 --> 01:03:10,329
and get this message out
and say, "Do not mess around,

1111
01:03:10,454 --> 01:03:11,664
do not take it for granted.

1112
01:03:12,289 --> 01:03:13,290
Soak up every moment."

1113
01:03:13,415 --> 01:03:15,751
And that is sort of the running theme
I've sort of felt with people.

1114
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,336
Yeah, it's also to kinda...

1115
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:18,796
weave together

1116
01:03:19,129 --> 01:03:21,257
in a sort of-- a-- a better understanding
of it all.

1117
01:03:21,841 --> 01:03:22,925
So,

1118
01:03:23,384 --> 01:03:27,638
we have come to the end of the--
of your time at Sunset Pines, brother.

1119
01:03:28,138 --> 01:03:31,684
All that's left for you to do
is walk through that door.

1120
01:03:32,977 --> 01:03:34,186
And...

1121
01:03:35,062 --> 01:03:38,065
whatever you find there,
just go with it.

1122
01:03:38,399 --> 01:03:39,316
Okay.

1123
01:03:42,152 --> 01:03:45,114
This is the boldest part
of this whole experiment.

1124
01:03:46,740 --> 01:03:48,450
Thanks, brother. (CHUCKLES)

1125
01:03:48,701 --> 01:03:51,412
We are going to push
our immersive theater

1126
01:03:51,537 --> 01:03:52,663
to its limits.

1127
01:03:53,330 --> 01:03:54,415
All right.

at this point,

1141
01:04:47,635 --> 01:04:49,553
things probably didn't go according
to plan.

1142
01:04:49,803 --> 01:04:50,930
CHRIS: Yeah.

1143
01:04:51,221 --> 01:04:53,140
So, we're going to do
the death meditation now.

1144
01:04:53,515 --> 01:04:57,311
The intention for this meditation
is to bring you into greater awareness

1145
01:04:57,686 --> 01:05:01,065
of the end of your life
and also to create renewed engagement

1146
01:05:01,148 --> 01:05:02,983
-with life as it is.
-Yeah.

1147
01:05:03,275 --> 01:05:04,902
So, you can begin by closing your eyes.

1148
01:05:08,489 --> 01:05:10,074
And now take a deep breath in.

1208

It felt really peaceful.
It just felt...

1209
01:09:57,861 --> 01:10:00,239
It didn't feel intimidating,

1210
01:10:00,364 --> 01:10:04,576
it felt sort of like I was off floating
down a river or something, you know?

1211
01:10:05,786 --> 01:10:08,747
Onto the next place, wherever that was.
And...

1212
01:10:09,498 --> 01:10:10,374
It's just--

1213
01:10:10,499 --> 01:10:13,877
When you said, "Think of the place
you'd be or you wanna be.

1214
01:10:14,002 --> 01:10:16,088
Who would be around you
when you're dying, when it's happening."

1215
01:10:16,838 --> 01:10:19,049
And I was just imagining myself
in my living room with all my family

1216
01:10:19,216 --> 01:10:20,384
and friends around and--

1217
01:10:20,884 --> 01:10:22,427
and then it sort of struck me,
I was like,

1218
01:10:23,178 --> 01:10:25,222
"This is what I have
all the time." Like...

1219

It's a very familiar place
and experience for me.

1222
01:10:34,106 --> 01:10:37,317
And it doesn't feel lonely at all,
it feels...

1223
01:10:40,612 --> 01:10:41,989
it feels like any other Sunday,

1224
01:10:44,449 --> 01:10:46,410
when I'm surrounded by loved ones.

1225
01:10:48,537 --> 01:10:50,789
Oh, the-- the conversation
we'd have in the last couple of days

1226
01:10:51,123 --> 01:10:55,043
about, you know, just feeling
like I've been missing things

1227
01:10:55,210 --> 01:10:57,004
or doing too much,
and I just had a moment of

1228
01:10:57,879 --> 01:10:58,922
kind of calm and...

1229
01:10:59,923 --> 01:11:01,508
pause about it all,
and thought,

1230
01:11:02,509 --> 01:11:04,803
it's-- it's all great,
sure I can do things differently,

1231
01:11:04,886 --> 01:11:09,266
but not to look at anything past
as it having been a mistake

1232
01:11:09,433 --> 01:11:10,726
or being done wrong.

1233
01:11:10,851 --> 01:11:13,437
And then, that sort
of strange parallel with

1234
01:11:14,187 --> 01:11:15,897
this idea of acceptance of death

1235
01:11:16,148 --> 01:11:19,151
and letting go, and also with life
and letting go,

1236
01:11:19,693 --> 01:11:22,237
and doesn't mean you let go
of the steering wheel completely,

1237
01:11:22,321 --> 01:11:26,325
but just kind of enjoying the ride
and enjoying the view, you know?

1238
01:11:27,075 --> 01:11:30,579
There's something very peaceful
about that-- that acceptance.

1239
01:11:30,787 --> 01:11:33,290
And maybe it's fun the circle back
to this Sunset Pines.

like a tacky tagline.
