Living and Dying with Grace.
Love Is The Reason is valuable for anyone dealing with end of life challenges for themselves or with family or friends. The film is important for those working with patients in hospice or institutional settings, and for encouraging people to have discussions about death and dying early in their lives.
In Love Is The Reason, viewers meet: Peter and Bar, whose boy died from a rare form of childhood cancer; Yvonne, a 29-year-old breast-cancer educator in stage 4 of her own disease; Leilani, facing the end of her life as an artist and mother; Waz, a yogi and AIDS activist living with HIV; and Suzanne, a business and family woman with metastasized carcinoma.
Interviews and narration by producer Joy Hopkins-Hausman, MSW. Directed by Tobe Carey. Music by Bar Scott.
