Season 1, Episode 6:
I'm new to the Going Home series, having only viewed episode 6 so far, but I'm so moved and inspired I plan to go back and watch from the beginning. What a beautiful premise for a Christian based show-to help people transition who are soon to pass away, as well as the family and friends left behind.
Charley Copeland, played by Cynthia Geary, is a hospice nurse who is faithful and obedient to her calling-helping families during these difficult times. She is gentle, kind, empathic, and easy to connect with. Exactly what I'd hope for in such a sensitive calling. I also want to give special kudos to Cozi Zuehlsdorff, who plays young hospice nurse Janey Richards. Her character offers a special ray of light, zest, and compassion to this show! No matter what these kindhearted nurses are going through on a personal level, they wear smiles on their faces to comforts weary hearts.
In this episode, Charley and her fellow colleagues assist Charley's childhood friend, Katherine, as she battles her last days with cancer. Charley is having an especially difficult time because she loves her friend, but still does what she can to help Katherine's husband and children cope through faith, prayer, and companionship.
Though parts of the episode are certainly sad, ironic humor offers a bit of levity. Also, the emphasis on positivity, such as forgiveness, faith, courage, and acceptance is heartening.
This emotional yet uplifting show is a must see. It brought my loved ones who have passed to mind as well as helped me face those I may lose in the future. Something Charley said in the trailer really stood out to me: "Death isn't the opposite of life...it's a part of life."
