Watched B.J's Ted Talk and was simply captivated by his spirit. Something ethereal, almost transcendent and calming about this man.

I held my Dad’s hand while he was dying. He told me once….”None of us are getting out of here alive!”

[Ksbabyg]

damn this Dr is throwing a lot of beautiful eccentric words and so many aha moments too in every single sentence he utters! What a beautiful intellegent man!!!

Your experience feels in some ways like mine since I got diagnosed with cancer after an emergency surgery. From waking up after, feeling like it was a dream and then realizing. To feeling free(d) of all the regular pressure and competition in work and life…

Hello Ms Oprah, I've been a nurse for 25 years and have been privileged to witness many deaths and can honestly say I have never seen a bad death. The body does death very well. No drama. The patient just slips away. If I'm by myself with the patient I whisper the act of contrition in their ear and ask God to take care and hold on to the patients spirit. Religion does not matter i just do it anyway. I believe when we die God will ask us "How did you love?" and when it comes to someones last breath I can say I did it with my whole heart. It is a privilege to be present for someones last breath. It has always filled me with a feeling of love .

I don't know what the revenue stream looks like as far having episodes here vs on the SStv website or the own app, but thank you for making this available. also, have you thought about making this into a podcast as well? that way it can be available on soundcloud, iTunes, spotify. but again, I say this not knowing what licensing restrictions are in place.

[liljay]

I search everywhere for these episodes! Please keep them coming! More people need to know they're here!

Thank you for this! My father passed away recently with family present. I was holding his hand as he left this earth. I appreciate this discussion because friends and family often don't want to talk in depth about my father's death. It can be isolating and overwhelming to not be able to share feelings with the people I'm supposed to be closest to. Thank you again for this episode - very grateful.

This man is beautiful .. It comes from his energy and his spirit and it #shines

So insightful! Thank you, BJ and Oprah!! I graduated from a U.S. college; that's when I got to come across with the Oprah Show! Even after coming back to Japan, I spend hours a week watching you, Oprah. There is NOBODY like you here in Japan, Oprah.

I said to my son since he was born - the raison de être is love.

Even though these are extremely heavy subjects to talk about it felt deeply soul soothing. I feel at peace, like after a great meditation. Thank you so much for making this available. Love you xx
