Parting

Aleida Hartstra , a doctor training to be a humanist counsellor, died of leukaemia at the age of 29. She said: 'When you are lucky enough to die surrounded by love, it's nothing to be afraid of.' Knowing her diagnosis allowed her, her family and friends to prepare for her death. This film, made in the Netherlands, is about their time together in the last two months of her life and reveals that death doesn't have to be heartbreaking, it can be uplifting, too.
