I break down why certain well-intentioned messages to terminally ill people can actually be harmful, even if they seem hopeful. Words matter, especially when speaking to those at the end of life. I'll share what not to say, why "never give up" can be misguided, and what truly supportive, hopeful messages sound like. Whether you have a loved one facing a terminal illness or want to be a better support system, this video will help you rethink how we talk about hope, life, and dying. When dealing with any medically related events or medical emergencies, please communicate with your primary health care provider.
