-Okay.

154
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:35,425
BJ:<i> A big part of the reason to give him</i>
<i>this experience</i>

155
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,730
is we are living amidst an epidemic
of denial that we are denying aging,

156
00:08:40,811 --> 00:08:43,901
older age and we are denying death.
It's a kind of stress.

157
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,610
It's bad for our blood pressure,
it's bad for our hormonal lives,

158
00:08:47,818 --> 00:08:49,608
it's bad for our neurochemistry.

159
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:52,452
In-- in this way,
there's a physiologic effect directly

160
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:55,735
on our bodies.
And this stress can shorten a life.

161
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:59,616
Increasingly we are seeing
multiple peer-reviewed studies

162
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:03,075
that suggest that if we can actually
embrace that reality,

163
00:09:03,292 --> 00:09:06,502
if you can find a way to accept it
and to accommodate being older

164
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:10,169
that you'll be happier, less depressed,
and maybe you'll actually live longer,

165
00:09:10,591 --> 00:09:13,721
and not by just a day or two

331
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:54,257
<i>I guess what scares me</i>

332
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:57,350
<i>is the deterioration</i>
<i>of-- of physical capabilities.</i>

333
00:16:58,142 --> 00:17:02,062
Not being mobile, not being able to play
with my grandkids,

334
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:03,726
not being able to surf,
not being able to be active.

335
00:17:03,939 --> 00:17:04,939
All the things I love to do.

336
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:09,074
Could be incredibly challenging
but also scary, I'm sure.

337
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:20,406
Great work today, guys,
thank you so much. See you next time.

338
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:21,419
Good session.

339
00:17:22,082 --> 00:17:23,172
You all right there, Chris?

340
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:25,745
-Good. Thank you.
-No worries. Take your time, okay?

341
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:28,165
-BJ: Hey, bud.
-CHRIS: Hey.

342
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:31,974
I just wanna check in at the end
of a-- a long day, I'd imagine.

343
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:35,854
Yeah, very long day.
I feel like I've had an intense workout.

344
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:38,885
-Well, we're not getting any younger.
-Yeah.

345
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:42,478
So, Gary, I thought it'd be really helpful
if you shared with Chris

346
00:17:42,686 --> 00:17:45,436
some of your background,
story of your younger self.

347
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:49,903
Well, when I was younger,
I used to be, you know, quite fit.

348
00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:52,985
When I was very active and very physical.

349
00:17:53,322 --> 00:17:54,202
Yeah.

350
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,493
You know. And my favorite was in kung fu.

351
00:17:56,784 --> 00:18:00,204
(SLOW TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

352
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:05,917
GARY: <i>It became a huge part of my life,</i>
<i>my identity.</i>

353
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:12,304
<i>I was really good at it, winning lots</i>
<i>of awards and titles.</i>

354
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:18,595
<i>I was, at one stage, even awarded</i>
<i>a black belt by the Shaolin Temple.</i>

355
00:18:20,724 --> 00:18:22,734
<i>It was really, really something.</i>

356
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:29,531
And then one day, I had an accident,
you know, in the training.

357
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:32,740
I went too hard and practically
smashed my knee.

358
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:37,697
As I got older, my body just
never felt the same again.

359
00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:40,788
I could never be what I used to be.

360
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:45,753
GARY: <i>When you're young, we always think</i>
<i>that we are super or Superman,</i>

361
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:46,916
<i>that we will live forever.</i>

362
00:18:47,084 --> 00:18:48,924
We never give a thought that
as you age,

363
00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:53,422
you start to realize that different parts
of the body may start breaking down.

364
00:18:56,552 --> 00:18:57,802
<i>But the truth is,</i>

365
00:18:59,346 --> 00:19:00,506
<i>you will grow old</i>

366
00:19:01,014 --> 00:19:02,434
<i>and your body will fail.</i>

367
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:10,898
So, gradually, you know,
you sort of have to accept...

368
00:19:11,441 --> 00:19:12,731
-Yeah.
-...the situation.

369
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:14,493
And that's when Tai Chi came in.

370
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:23,039
<i>One morning when I was out walking,</i>

371
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:28,378
<i>I saw a group of elderly people</i>
<i>doing this slow-motion type of exercise.</i>

372
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:33,956
<i>And the balance that they have,</i>

373
00:19:34,256 --> 00:19:39,386
<i>you know, the flexibility</i>
<i>and the grace got me really curious.</i>

374
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:44,641
<i>I saw something that I could relate to.</i>

375
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:47,811
<i>An opportunity....</i>

376
00:19:52,566 --> 00:19:55,356
<i>And so, I started to learn Tai Chi.</i>

377
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,570
<i>And I did it more and more.</i>

378
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:20,217
<i>And as I learn about this,</i>
<i>you know, I found a new way</i>

379
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:22,892
of connecting to my physicality, you know?

380
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:28,101
And so, this taught me a lot of things
and a new way of looking and of living.

381
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:33,769
You know. And maybe that is something
that might be useful to you.

382
00:20:34,107 --> 00:20:37,317
One of the cruelties we do to each other
is we consider aging a failure,

383
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:39,109
that our body's failing us.

384
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:42,317
No. No, that's just the way we see it.

385
00:20:42,532 --> 00:20:46,952
Even as our body is maybe weakening,
it's opening up something else.

386
00:20:47,329 --> 00:20:48,999
And this may be part of us
is getting smaller,

387
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:51,876
there's this room for us to get bigger
in some other way.

388
00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:54,999
That's when humans really shine,
as we come up against the limit.

389
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:57,630
-Exactly. Yeah.
-It's a gift in a way, isn't it?

390
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:00,049
GARY: Yeah, yeah,
it's a kind of revelation

391
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:03,392
that once you learn to accept things

392
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:04,512
for what it is,

393
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:08,808
you actually find something even deeper
and more valuable.

394
00:21:09,309 --> 00:21:12,019
A lot of what you're saying, you know,
rings true to me,

395
00:21:12,145 --> 00:21:14,685
and it-- and it makes you think
this is not a bad kind of...

396
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:18,900
How to--- how to reframe that
and how to-- how to adjust to it.

397
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,818
How about, let's go
and try out some Tai Chi moves?

398
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:23,367
-Sounds good.
-Okay.

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

411
00:22:23,633 --> 00:22:27,143
Officially retired and feeling pretty old
after wearing that suit all day,

412
00:22:27,262 --> 00:22:28,262
pretty restrictive.

413
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:31,682
I started to get kind of irritated,
especially when people were talking to me

414
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:35,846
the way that I guess a lot of us
talk to elderly people,

415
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:39,401
which is that sort of, you know,
speaking very clear and "hello."

416
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:42,986
And there's almost this kind of
patronizing sort of tone to it.

417
00:22:43,236 --> 00:22:46,486
So, I hope I don't do that
when I speak to elderly people.

418
00:22:46,656 --> 00:22:48,616
Now, I've got to get comfortable
in this room here.

419
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:51,622
We've got a massive bed here
which looks like something

420
00:22:51,953 --> 00:22:54,213
one of my kids would sleep in.
What else we got in here?

00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:41,600
Very tricky, isn't it?

493
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:43,436
-What do you feel like? An 80-year-old?
-Yep!

494
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,060
(ALL LAUGH)

495
00:26:45,645 --> 00:26:47,145
Arms feels a little bit heavy.

496
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,070
-You're looking a bit stiff.
-I feel a bit stiff.

497
00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:54,108
So, what's the secret?
How have you guys stayed so active?

498
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:56,486
-I swim and I walk.
-CHRIS: Yeah.

499
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,735
You know, and I get out and do stuff.
I swim all winter.

500
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:02,245
-I'm pretty active at 80, so it's not bad.
-Yeah.

501
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:06,674
I think as well as being physically active
at the same time, keep your mind active.

502
00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:09,915
You know, build up a good relationship
with your family, your children,

503
00:27:10,128 --> 00:27:12,418
grandchildren...
make a lot of friends.

504
00:27:12,797 --> 00:27:13,717
Yeah.

505
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,470
And-- and while you're doing that,
you will also helping yourself

506
00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:18,255
in maintaining your youth.

507
00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:23,726
BJ: <i>So, if Chris can accept getting older</i>
<i>and drop this notion</i>

508
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:25,230
<i>of physical independence,</i>

509
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:27,854
that's when he can learn
to rely on others.

510
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:31,901
<i>He's going to have to adopt</i>
<i>a bigger sense of himself</i>

511
00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:36,363
that can accommodate frailty,
and vulnerability, and old age.

512
00:27:37,364 --> 00:27:40,784
<i>This is the lesson if you can learn</i>
<i>to accept that fact.</i>

513
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:44,749
That's when we get to experience
just how connected we all are

514
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:48,579
to each other and to the world around us.
This is very, very good for your health.

515
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:52,049
-So, you got children?
-Yep. Three kids.

516
00:27:52,253 --> 00:27:53,173
How old?

517
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:57,221
-Nine and seven. Two twin boys at seven.
-Oh!

518
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,682
-Yeah.
-They were fun when they were babies.

519
00:27:59,928 --> 00:28:00,848
Yes, they're fun now.

520
00:28:03,264 --> 00:28:05,684
You miss them when you are out
and about doing

521
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:07,732
-your acting?
-Yeah, definitely. Yep.

522
00:28:07,894 --> 00:28:09,024
Yep. Yep.

523
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,686
NATALIE: It's looking good. Well done.

524
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:18,031
-Oh, Chris. Tell me about yours.
-I'm not sure what it is.

525
00:28:18,321 --> 00:28:20,371
It's like me crossed with a koala.

526
00:28:20,949 --> 00:28:22,449
(ALL CHUCKLE)

527
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,662
CHRIS: I just need a eucalyptus leaf
to be chewin' on.

528
00:28:25,995 --> 00:28:27,115
NATALIE: No, looks great.

529
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:42,426
BJ: Hey, bud.

530
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:44,141
-Hello.
-How you doing?

531
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:45,809
CHRIS: Just...

532
00:28:46,349 --> 00:28:50,729
remove the-- the suit for a minute.
Just a... Yeah, it's just so good to...

533
00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:52,015
It's nice to have a breather.

534
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,734
-Feel good to take it off?
-It does, yeah.

535
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,276
Well, good news.

536
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:59,699
-(CHUCKLES)
-You get to be done with that suit.

537
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:01,364
That experiment is over.

538
00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:02,990
Wonderful.

539
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:04,831
Yeah, I'll leave it right here
on the couch.

540
00:29:05,076 --> 00:29:06,366
Right, oh. Exactly.

541
00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:09,620
The major lesson here is acceptance.

542
00:29:09,956 --> 00:29:13,166
There's certain things or certain battles
we're just not going to win

543
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:15,134
and you're not going
to beat that suit...

544
00:29:15,211 --> 00:29:16,131
Yeah.

545
00:29:16,296 --> 00:29:18,006
...and you're not going to beat aging
and that's okay.

546
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:22,263
Yeah. But then how do you come
to terms with that? How do people accept?

547
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:27,472
For me, just couple things
to tell you about.

548
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:29,267
I-- So, when I was 19,

549
00:29:30,059 --> 00:29:31,349
a sophomore in college...

550
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:36,111
<i>you know, life was really good.</i>

551
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:40,567
<i>Then sophomore fall,</i>

552
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:43,494
friends of mine and I,
we were screwing around

553
00:29:43,823 --> 00:29:46,743
on our commuter train
and my buds and I,

554
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:49,330
we just climbed it
like you climb a tree.

555
00:29:49,537 --> 00:29:51,407
There was just a parked train
just sitting there.

556
00:29:51,998 --> 00:29:55,748
But when I stood up,
I had a metal watch on my wrist.

557
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:58,841
And when I stood up,
I was close enough to the power source,

558
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:02,682
the electricity arced to the watch.
Instantaneous big explosion,

559
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:07,391
and in a moment just, you know,
everything changed in a way.

560
00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:16,771
I lost one arm below the elbow
and both legs below the knee,

561
00:30:19,025 --> 00:30:20,985
<i>and I came very close to death.</i>

562
00:30:27,367 --> 00:30:28,697
<i>It broke me down.</i>

563
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:32,871
<i>My life was over. I was just pure loss.</i>

564
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:39,381
<i>And I thought, "Who am I, now?"</i>

565
00:30:43,550 --> 00:30:47,800
This forced me to reimagine myself.

566
00:30:48,221 --> 00:30:50,641
Adaptation was only going
to get me so far.

567
00:30:51,391 --> 00:30:52,601
I had to accept it.

568
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:56,230
<i>And somewhere along the way,</i>
<i>it took me a few years,</i>

569
00:30:56,563 --> 00:31:00,193
but there came a point
where I let that old body,

570
00:31:00,483 --> 00:31:03,073
that old sense of self, I let him go.

571
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,696
<i>He died.</i>

572
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:10,987
<i>What was in store for me...</i>

573
00:31:15,123 --> 00:31:19,043
<i>I knew that my identity didn't exist</i>
<i>in my feet.</i>

574
00:31:23,798 --> 00:31:25,628
<i>I look at myself in the mirror</i>
<i>every once in a while and say,</i>

575
00:31:25,758 --> 00:31:28,798
<i>"This is my life. This is it.</i>
<i>This is-- this is my life."</i>

576
00:31:38,771 --> 00:31:41,231
<i>I think this is a part of acceptance</i>
<i>is where you actually</i>

577
00:31:41,357 --> 00:31:42,397
<i>let the change happen.</i>

578
00:31:53,828 --> 00:31:55,788
-(DOG BARKS)
-Come on.

579
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:57,039
That's it.

580
00:31:57,999 --> 00:31:59,169
Good girl.

581
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:06,718
BJ: <i>That was a big, big deal for me.</i>

582
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,139
<i>Those years following my accident</i>
<i>and learning to play</i>

583
00:32:09,218 --> 00:32:11,138
<i>with how I saw myself in the world.</i>

584
00:32:16,017 --> 00:32:19,517
<i>My sense of self had expanded</i>
<i>to the point where not only</i>

585
00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:21,559
<i>I could accommodate limb loss.</i>

586
00:32:22,357 --> 00:32:25,227
<i>But I started making meaning</i>
<i>and making sense of my experience.</i>

587
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,200
<i>I went into medicine</i>
<i>and fell immediately in love</i>

588
00:32:28,404 --> 00:32:29,574
<i>with palliative care.</i>

589
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:35,870
People usually have a misunderstanding
of it that it's all about

590
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:37,117
end of life and death.

591
00:32:37,413 --> 00:32:40,463
<i>But my job is to treat suffering</i>
<i>and to help people</i>

592
00:32:40,583 --> 00:32:42,093
<i>find meaning in their life.</i>

593
00:32:42,168 --> 00:32:45,338
<i>So, you could also say it's something</i>
<i>of a philosophy.</i>

594
00:32:45,505 --> 00:32:46,505
Come on. Right here.

595
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,550
<i>My story is dramatic,</i>
<i>but it's just a variation on a theme.</i>

596
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:55,718
<i>We all suffer, we all bump up</i>
<i>against things that we can't control.</i>

597
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:01,692
<i>And that brings us to this point</i>
<i>of acceptance</i>

598
00:33:02,021 --> 00:33:03,901
<i>and that's a place</i>
<i>where I'm trying to move Chris.</i>

599
00:33:08,069 --> 00:33:11,949
CHRIS:<i> Talking with BJ, I find myself</i>
<i>in awe of his attitude.</i>

600
00:33:12,532 --> 00:33:15,992
He went through one
of the toughest experiences

601
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:18,332
someone can go through
at a very young age too,

602
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:22,460
<i>and yet he's accepted that experience,</i>

603
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:26,213
<i>and I find that such a beautiful approach</i>
<i>to life.</i>

604
00:33:33,636 --> 00:33:36,096
So, are you starting to get a little hint,

605
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:38,600
a little glimmer
at this thing called acceptance?

606
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:44,399
Yeah, I mean, one thing I've accepted
and come to terms with is

607
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,360
that I-- I don't feel invincible,
you know.

608
00:33:46,441 --> 00:33:49,071
And the really interesting thing
that certainly I think about is, like,

609
00:33:49,235 --> 00:33:53,735
well, there will come a day when
you can't take the suit off and...

610
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,492
that's an intimidating...

611
00:33:55,825 --> 00:33:58,235
-thought for me, you know?
-Mm-hmm.

612
00:33:58,411 --> 00:34:00,081
-It's a big one.
-Yeah.

613
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,628
Yeah, so, it stirs up
a whole lot of

614
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:09,014
ideas and-- and thoughts.

615
00:34:09,338 --> 00:34:14,258
And, you know, I-- I think just living
in that space of sort of goal-orientated

616
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:17,805
-kind of get through this checklist first.
-Mm-hmm.

617
00:34:19,098 --> 00:34:21,228
It can also be sort of dangerous, right?
Like a--

618
00:34:21,434 --> 00:34:22,944
-Absolutely.
-'Cause it's the assumption

619
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:25,191
that you have time to get through it
rather than going...

620
00:34:25,646 --> 00:34:26,556
Right.

621
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:28,193
-Man.
-There may not be a tomorrow.

622
00:34:28,274 --> 00:34:30,234
Yeah, absolutely. Yep.

623
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:33,360
I've come to learn how hard it is
to actually be in the moment.

624
00:34:33,613 --> 00:34:34,993
Is that a skill you have?

625
00:34:35,490 --> 00:34:36,700
It's something I...

626
00:34:37,492 --> 00:34:40,952
am aware
that I-- I-- I want to achieve...

627
00:34:41,162 --> 00:34:42,582
and be better at, you know.

628
00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:44,712
But...

629
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:48,421
you know. Being in it,
being brutally honest with myself.

630
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,510
I'm not. And now...

631
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:56,468
I'm sort of going,
"What's really important?" You know?

632
00:34:56,677 --> 00:34:59,217
You know, I just feel like I'm sort of,
you know, busier and busier and busier,

633
00:34:59,388 --> 00:35:02,678
and I'm not even with the kids
as much as I want to be.

634
00:35:03,351 --> 00:35:04,811
But like, I think about it--

635
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:07,106
that a lot,
you know, and just...

636
00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:12,025
Just the sort of fragility of it all.

637
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:19,581
(EXHALES DEEPLY)

638
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:36,876
I just wanna get this right.

639
00:35:39,595 --> 00:35:40,715
It...

640
00:35:44,183 --> 00:35:46,143
I've been working so much for...

641
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,265
ten or twelve years now,

642
00:35:49,772 --> 00:35:53,532
and found a lot of, you know,
my memories have...

643
00:35:53,734 --> 00:35:58,034
it felt like they are in fast forward,
and wishing I had a sort of pause

644
00:35:58,156 --> 00:35:59,316
and taken more time.

645
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:00,989
And...

646
00:36:01,909 --> 00:36:03,409
it makes me think about a story

647
00:36:03,536 --> 00:36:06,036
my mom was telling me about.
The experience she had recently,

648
00:36:06,122 --> 00:36:10,332
where she thought she was facing
the end of her life for a brief moment.

649
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:14,673
And that she felt...

650
00:36:15,715 --> 00:36:18,335
complete peace with her experiences

651
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:22,046
in the fact that she had many people
around her that loved her,

652
00:36:22,221 --> 00:36:25,061
many people that she loved
and she had a very full life,

653
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:29,693
and I think it affected me because I...

654
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,110
I don't want to find myself
rushing through things anymore.

655
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:40,491
<i>Yeah. This experience is making me</i>

656
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:42,776
<i>want to press pause</i>

Well.

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

712
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:34,333

I was closer to him than to my parents.

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

716

717

<i>From childhood, right up until</i>

718

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

720

being the eldest of the family,

724
00:40:11,283 --> 00:40:14,123
he had to take over the role of chief.

725

the loss that I suffered

838

day, like, I don't know.

I was just putting on 50 years.

842
00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,365
-Yeah. Yep.
-And it's really, really shocking,

843
00:47:50,868 --> 00:47:53,198
not-- not having those years to adapt.

844
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:55,249
And I think nature gave you that...

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

846
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:01,916
It's pretty intense diving straight into.
This is what... Yeah.

847
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:04,924
Yeah. It's just... it's really
confronting.

848
00:48:05,632 --> 00:48:07,222
No, it was quite shocking
when I saw you then.

849
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:10,354
I was like, "Oh! Wait, wait."
Been robbed of 50 years.

850
00:48:11,179 --> 00:48:13,889

what exactly is a death doula?

and support of the dying person
and the family through the process.

...pine one here.

929

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

To bury those in the ground.

wasn't it?

What do you think of coffins generally?

963
00:54:37,482 --> 00:54:41,402
You-- I don't know, I kind of maybe
would prefer to be cremated, I guess.

964
00:54:42,570 --> 00:54:45,370
Rather than cocooned up
in some space,

965
00:54:45,532 --> 00:54:47,372
there's something sort of
claustrophobic about that thought.

966

-Oh.
-Yeah.

967
00:54:49,035 --> 00:54:50,785
And maybe you could just--
you could throw me in the ocean

968
00:54:50,870 --> 00:54:52,790
and the sharks could have at me, and--

969
00:54:52,914 --> 00:54:54,424
-Throw your body in the ocean?
-Yeah.

970
00:54:54,874 --> 00:54:57,924
I'm curious about how you view
what happens after death.

971
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:02,011
I don't know. I remember as a kid,
sort of lying awake at night,

972
00:55:02,090 --> 00:55:04,260
thinking about the idea of nothing,

973
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:08,006
you know, and... poof... just that's it,
you know, forever...

974
00:55:08,221 --> 00:55:09,681
-Yeah.
-...you know? And not just forever,

975
00:55:09,764 --> 00:55:11,274
-but forever, forever, forever, you know?
-Forever.

976
00:55:11,391 --> 00:55:13,771
And it used to kinda--
And it'd, like, keep me up.

977
00:55:13,935 --> 00:55:15,515
You know, it was this, like,

978
00:55:16,354 --> 00:55:17,944
just that complete empty, nothing,

979
00:55:18,231 --> 00:55:19,651
gone kind of idea.

980
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,690
Scared the hell out of me.

981
00:55:21,818 --> 00:55:24,068
The reality is, as we know,
that it could be at any point in time...

982
00:55:24,195 --> 00:55:25,735
-Yeah.
-...right? You know, often people

983
00:55:25,822 --> 00:55:28,662
think about the end of life
as some faraway notion.

984
00:55:29,034 --> 00:55:31,204
Like it's something that happens
out there, over there

985
00:55:31,328 --> 00:55:33,408
and it comes far sooner
than most people are ready for,

986
00:55:33,663 --> 00:55:38,593
which is why opportunities like this one,
to be present to mortality, is so useful.

at the end of their days?

989
00:55:49,512 --> 00:55:52,142
Being with somebody

990
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:54,679
as they have just stopped breathing,

991
00:55:55,185 --> 00:55:57,435
to feel the incredible stillness
in the room

992
00:55:57,562 --> 00:55:59,062
after life has just left a body,

993
00:55:59,814 --> 00:56:02,864
is the most simple, yet the most profound.

994
00:56:03,276 --> 00:56:06,816
In that life really does hang
on a single breath.

995
00:56:07,238 --> 00:56:09,198
It's there one minute
and then it's gone the next.

996
00:56:09,699 --> 00:56:12,909
And when it's gone,
it reminds me that I still have

997
00:56:13,036 --> 00:56:17,246
the capacity to breathe, and to live,
and to be engaged, and to love,

998
00:56:17,332 --> 00:56:18,882
and to laugh, and to...

999
00:56:19,084 --> 00:56:21,094
be joyful,
and to wear color, and to...

1000
00:56:21,252 --> 00:56:23,342
-Yeah, yeah.
-...hug, and, you know, dance,

1001
00:56:23,505 --> 00:56:25,465
and to live, to live.

1002
00:56:25,757 --> 00:56:26,667
Yeah.

1003
00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:28,390
That's beautiful.

1004
00:56:30,136 --> 00:56:32,846
Later on, today, we're gonna do
a death-bed meditation.

1005
00:56:33,056 --> 00:56:34,926
-Mm.
-Get you closer to your death.

1006
00:56:35,225 --> 00:56:37,555
(CHUCKLES) Okay, great.

1007
00:56:37,977 --> 00:56:40,357
For now, there's somebody
I want you to meet before we do that.

1008
00:56:40,772 --> 00:56:41,652
-Okay.
-You ready?

1009
00:56:41,815 --> 00:56:42,765
-Yeah.
-Let's go.

1010
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:49,284
ALUA: <i>One of the benefits for somebody</i>
<i>as young and as vital as Chris</i>

1011
00:56:49,406 --> 00:56:53,696
<i>to be talking and thinking about death</i>
<i>is that it really does drive home</i>

1012
00:56:53,868 --> 00:56:57,288
<i>the conversation that this is possible</i>
<i>for anybody at any time.</i>

1013
00:56:58,498 --> 00:56:59,918
-Natalie.
-Hello, Chris.

1014
00:57:00,792 --> 00:57:04,052
But that young people also become sick.

1015
00:57:05,046 --> 00:57:06,706
Saw you in art class the other day.

1016
00:57:06,965 --> 00:57:07,965
Yeah. Hi.

1017
00:57:08,174 --> 00:57:10,554
Hi. Alua said that we should speak.

1018
00:57:10,844 --> 00:57:13,764
Yeah. Well, I'm here to tell you
about my experience

1019
00:57:13,847 --> 00:57:14,757
with stage-four cancer.

1020
00:57:15,598 --> 00:57:18,938
And to be honest, I don't know
how much time I have left.

1021
00:57:19,644 --> 00:57:20,904
I'm 27 now.

1022
00:57:21,271 --> 00:57:25,611
But when I was 20,
I was diagnosed with stage-three melanoma.

1023
00:57:26,568 --> 00:57:28,818
It got into my lymph nodes.

1024
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:30,912
And so, surgery was my only option.

1025
00:57:30,989 --> 00:57:34,119
So, they cut off my toe,
they got rid of all my lymph nodes.

1026
00:57:34,325 --> 00:57:37,325
And for a 20-year-old, you can imagine,
your life got turned upside-down.

1027
00:57:37,787 --> 00:57:39,037
-Yeah.
-And...

1028
00:57:39,664 --> 00:57:42,964
from there on, I have thought
about death every single day of my life.

1029
00:57:45,795 --> 00:57:49,755
<i>No one at 20 expects to be diagnosed</i>
<i>with cancer.</i>

1030
00:57:51,968 --> 00:57:55,428
<i>No one prepares you</i>
<i>for a diagnosis like that.</i>

1031
00:57:56,097 --> 00:57:59,677
And especially, like, the effects
it has on your family,

1032
00:57:59,767 --> 00:58:03,437
and your friends,
and my whole world changed, pretty much,

1033
00:58:03,813 --> 00:58:05,363
like, overnight.

1034
00:58:09,736 --> 00:58:11,816
<i>Cancer became my overall identity.</i>

1035
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,450
<i>Essentially,</i>
<i>I was referred to as the sick one.</i>

1036
00:58:17,577 --> 00:58:20,327
For a little while there,
I was-- I was really lost.

1037
00:58:20,872 --> 00:58:23,792
And I needed to find that person
who I once was before.

1038
00:58:23,958 --> 00:58:25,248
Yeah.

1039
00:58:26,878 --> 00:58:29,048
NATALIE:
<i>And so, off I went, I went to Venice.</i>

1040
00:58:29,172 --> 00:58:34,472
<i>Not to run away, more to be in a place</i>
<i>where no one knew my story,</i>

1041
00:58:34,594 --> 00:58:39,524
<i>so I could truly figure out myself</i>
<i>and how to live alongside this cancer.</i>

1042
00:58:40,850 --> 00:58:43,940
And I met a boy, I fell in love.

1043
00:58:47,815 --> 00:58:49,975
<i>And he just saw me for me,</i>
<i>which was, honestly,</i>

1044
00:58:50,193 --> 00:58:51,283
<i>really, really beautiful.</i>

1045
00:58:56,366 --> 00:58:59,786
<i>Alexander is genuine and kind.</i>

1046
00:59:00,245 --> 00:59:03,285
<i>And I've often referred to him</i>
<i>as my oak tree.</i>

1047
00:59:05,250 --> 00:59:09,380
He's the person who's just
standing steadfast and he keeps me steady.

1048
00:59:13,299 --> 00:59:16,719
When you have cancer,
you don't know if you can be loved.

1049
00:59:17,387 --> 00:59:20,847
And your relationship with love
and yourself...

1050
00:59:23,184 --> 00:59:24,564
pretty much goes out of the window.

1051
00:59:25,478 --> 00:59:26,898
Love is the most

1052
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:29,863
amazing thing that we have,

1053
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,360
and that we can experience in this world.

1054
00:59:32,694 --> 00:59:35,574
And the fact that I get
to experience his love, you know...

1055
00:59:36,823 --> 00:59:39,583
he makes me so happy.

1056
00:59:40,285 --> 00:59:41,445
And these are happy tears.

1057
00:59:42,912 --> 00:59:47,542
But three months into our love story,
I came home,

1058
00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:52,257
and I had a routine scan, and they told me
that the cancer was back in my lungs.

1059
00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:54,299
And now, I was stage four.

1060
00:59:55,675 --> 00:59:57,005
So, I told him.

1061
00:59:57,594 --> 00:59:59,304
And then I said,
"I'm breaking up with you."

1062
00:59:59,804 --> 01:00:01,814
And he just turned around

1063
01:00:01,889 --> 01:00:04,679
and was like, "No."
And he was like,

1064
01:00:06,352 --> 01:00:07,602
"I'm in this."

1065
01:00:09,814 --> 01:00:12,824
And he says, "I choose all the time
with you that I have.

1066
01:00:13,526 --> 01:00:15,946
It doesn't matter if it's long,
if it's short.

1067
01:00:16,863 --> 01:00:18,163
Well, I choose you."

1068
01:00:24,954 --> 01:00:28,544
<i>It's probably because of my diagnosis</i>
<i>of the way that I look at time.</i>

1069
01:00:29,959 --> 01:00:32,589
<i>The time that anybody has</i>
<i>is so precious.</i>

1070
01:00:32,795 --> 01:00:38,715
<i>So, if you just dive in headfirst,</i>
<i>and use whatever time that you have</i>

1071
01:00:38,801 --> 01:00:42,601
<i>because nobody knows their timelines.</i>
<i>So, we're just going to love each other.</i>

1072
01:00:44,223 --> 01:00:45,983
And we're gonna love each other
no matter what.

1073
01:00:46,643 --> 01:00:48,233
No matter how much time we have left.

1074
01:00:50,521 --> 01:00:52,611
CHRIS: You know,
we talked about acceptance.

1075
01:00:53,274 --> 01:00:58,534
How are you with-- with acceptance?
With that word or with the idea of it?

1076
01:00:58,946 --> 01:01:02,156
I've thought about death every single day
for the past seven years.

1077
01:01:02,825 --> 01:01:04,575
Have I accepted my mortality?

1078
01:01:05,620 --> 01:01:06,790
Yes and no.

1079
01:01:08,748 --> 01:01:12,338
I think people have
a very funny relationship with aging,

1080
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:13,422
they get really scared of it.

1081
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:16,625
But in truth, I would love to age.

1082
01:01:16,798 --> 01:01:18,718
I would love nothing more
than to get old,

1083
01:01:19,133 --> 01:01:20,433
and I think that's a gift.

1084
01:01:25,223 --> 01:01:27,643
We're all-- we're all gonna die one day.

1085
01:01:27,934 --> 01:01:31,524
So, you have to really live life
as much as like you can and enjoy it.

1086
01:01:32,438 --> 01:01:34,478
To soak up every single moment.

1087
01:01:35,149 --> 01:01:36,319
-Yeah.
-CHRIS: Yeah.

1088
01:01:41,447 --> 01:01:43,317
NATALIE:
<i>Your life could end at any time.</i>

1089
01:01:43,825 --> 01:01:46,825
<i>So just enjoy life, enjoy time,</i>

1090
01:01:47,787 --> 01:01:48,997
make the most of it.

1091
01:01:49,539 --> 01:01:51,459
And love as much as you can.

1092
01:02:10,643 --> 01:02:13,813
CHRIS:<i> This is a heartbreaking experience,</i>
<i>talking to Natalie</i>

1093
01:02:14,605 --> 01:02:16,815
and listening to her story and-- and...

1094
01:02:18,025 --> 01:02:19,235
hearing someone...

1095
01:02:20,445 --> 01:02:23,195
talk with such grace and-- and maturity

1096
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,410
about something so, so uncertain is,

1097
01:02:28,119 --> 01:02:29,199
is really inspiring.

1098
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:32,923
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

1099
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:46,546
-Hello.
-Good to see you.

1100
01:02:46,679 --> 01:02:48,139
-How are you?
-I'm great, man.

1101
01:02:49,515 --> 01:02:50,805
How was your chat with Natalie?

1102
01:02:51,142 --> 01:02:52,982
Yeah, an incredible individual.

1103
01:02:53,060 --> 01:02:54,020
Could you feel that--

1104
01:02:54,687 --> 01:02:57,317
this idea
that there-- tomorrow isn't guaranteed?

1105
01:02:57,482 --> 01:02:58,442
Yeah.

1106
01:02:58,775 --> 01:03:01,525
There's no certainty around that at all.
Do you feel that?

1107
01:03:01,944 --> 01:03:03,154
Absolutely. Yeah.

1108
01:03:03,321 --> 01:03:04,611
There was this sort of...

1109
01:03:05,114 --> 01:03:07,284
essential need to,
sort of, shake the world

1110
01:03:07,450 --> 01:03:10,290
and get this message out
and say, "Do not mess around,

1111
01:03:10,411 --> 01:03:11,621
do not take it for granted.

1112
01:03:12,246 --> 01:03:13,246
Soak up every moment."

1113
01:03:13,372 --> 01:03:15,712
And that is sort of the running theme
I've sort of felt with people.

1114
01:03:15,917 --> 01:03:17,287
Yeah, it's also to kinda...

1115
01:03:17,877 --> 01:03:18,747
weave together

1116
01:03:19,086 --> 01:03:21,206
in a sort of-- a-- a better understanding
of it all.

1117
01:03:21,798 --> 01:03:22,878
So,

1118
01:03:23,341 --> 01:03:27,601
we have come to the end of the--
of your time at Sunset Pines, brother.

1119
01:03:28,095 --> 01:03:31,635
All that's left for you to do
is walk through that door.

1120
01:03:32,934 --> 01:03:34,144
And...

1121
01:03:35,019 --> 01:03:38,019
whatever you find there,
just go with it.

1122
01:03:38,356 --> 01:03:39,266
Okay.

1123
01:03:42,109 --> 01:03:45,069
This is the boldest part
of this whole experiment.

1124
01:03:46,697 --> 01:03:48,407
Thanks, brother. (CHUCKLES)

1125
01:03:48,658 --> 01:03:51,368
We are going to push
our immersive theater

1126
01:03:51,494 --> 01:03:52,624
to its limits.

1127
01:03:53,287 --> 01:03:54,367
All right.

at this point,

1141
01:04:47,592 --> 01:04:49,512
things probably didn't go according
to plan.

1142
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:50,890
CHRIS: Yeah.

1143
01:04:51,178 --> 01:04:53,098
So, we're going to do
the death meditation now.

1144
01:04:53,472 --> 01:04:57,272
The intention for this meditation
is to bring you into greater awareness

1145
01:04:57,643 --> 01:05:01,023
of the end of your life
and also to create renewed engagement

1146

-with life as it is.
-Yeah.

1147
01:05:03,232 --> 01:05:04,862
So, you can begin by closing your eyes.

1148
01:05:08,446 --> 01:05:10,026
And now take a deep breath in.

It felt really peaceful.
It just felt...

1209
01:09:57,818 --> 01:10:00,198
It didn't feel intimidating,

1210
01:10:00,321 --> 01:10:04,531
it felt sort of like I was off floating
down a river or something, you know?

1211
01:10:05,743 --> 01:10:08,703
Onto the next place, wherever that was.
And...

1212
01:10:09,455 --> 01:10:10,325
It's just--

1213
01:10:10,456 --> 01:10:13,826
When you said, "Think of the place
you'd be or you wanna be.

1214
01:10:13,959 --> 01:10:16,049
Who would be around you
when you're dying, when it's happening."

1215
01:10:16,795 --> 01:10:19,005
And I was just imagining myself
in my living room with all my family

1216
01:10:19,173 --> 01:10:20,343
and friends around and--

1217
01:10:20,841 --> 01:10:22,381
and then it sort of struck me,
I was like,

1218
01:10:23,135 --> 01:10:25,175
"This is what I have
all the time." Like...

1219

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

1222
01:10:34,063 --> 01:10:37,273
And it doesn't feel lonely at all,
it feels...

1223
01:10:40,569 --> 01:10:41,949
it feels like any other Sunday,

1224
01:10:44,406 --> 01:10:46,366
when I'm surrounded by loved ones.

1225
01:10:48,494 --> 01:10:50,754
Oh, the-- the conversation
we'd have in the last couple of days

1226
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:55,000
about, you know, just feeling
like I've been missing things

1227
01:10:55,167 --> 01:10:56,957
or doing too much,
and I just had a moment of

1228
01:10:57,836 --> 01:10:58,876
kind of calm and...

1229
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:01,470
pause about it all,
and thought,

1230
01:11:02,466 --> 01:11:04,756
it's-- it's all great,
sure I can do things differently,

1231
01:11:04,843 --> 01:11:09,223
but not to look at anything past
as it having been a mistake

1232
01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:10,680
or being done wrong.

1233
01:11:10,808 --> 01:11:13,388
And then, that sort
of strange parallel with

1234
01:11:14,144 --> 01:11:15,854
this idea of acceptance of death

1235
01:11:16,105 --> 01:11:19,105
and letting go, and also with life
and letting go,

1236
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,190
and doesn't mean you let go
of the steering wheel completely,

1237
01:11:22,278 --> 01:11:26,278
but just kind of enjoying the ride
and enjoying the view, you know?

1238
01:11:27,032 --> 01:11:30,542
There's something very peaceful
about that-- that acceptance.

1239
01:11:30,744 --> 01:11:33,254
And maybe it's fun the circle back
to this Sunset Pines.

like a tacky tagline.
