At 29, in the face of a life cut short due to a rare form of ovarian cancer, Michelle ‘Mike’ Ng held a living funeral to gather her loved ones while she was still alive.
In our conversations with Mike, she found comfort in the palliative care of Jayne and her team from HCA — one of Singapore's largest home hospice care providers.

We’d like to thank Mike & her family for allowing us to preserve this intimate moment of their lives. Though death is a difficult topic to tackle, Mike taught us to never shy away from it, but to look it straight in the face so it has no power over us.
Stories like hers remind us of why we do what we do.
If you’d like, share your well wishes for Mike’s family in the comments, and we’ll pass it on to them.
- Stef (OGS Producer)

My husband just passed away a few weeks ago from cancer. He wanted a wake after his death. I changed it up and gave him a "how did I meet you party". He got to see all his friends, reminisce and just enjoy their time together. No one was allowed to say cancer and I am so sorry statements. It was really beautiful. He was gone less than two weeks later.

I have terminal colon cancer with a life expectancy of less than 12 months. That diagnosis was given to me 1 month ago. So I part of my journey now is to use the next 2 months to say my goodbyes to my friends, colleagues - so I can devote my remaining time with my 2 boys and my wife who are involved in every aspect of this emotional journey. I find myself in a race against the clock to download as much of my experience and love into my family and leave no doubt in their minds. My boys are my legacy and the single greatest gift and accomplishment of my time here on earth. My wife gave me the gift of Fatherhood for which I am eternally grateful. Live, love, and repeat. Listen to your heart, move into action today, don't let days slip by. Be open with the ones you love, share in your joys and console in moments of sorrow. Leave behind memories of joy, laughter, sorrow, and love with others around you. God Bless you all.

A couple of years ago, a very funny, smart friend was diagnosed with cancer in November. The doctors didn't think she would live a week. The family got a hospital bed that they were able to put in the living room ( old house with very small rooms). She LOVED Christmas and all the decorations. We realized that we didn't have room for her normal tree, so I got a 3 foot tree and decorated it with flashing lights and jingle bells - she was basically blind, but could hear the bells and see the lights go on and off. The whole house was decorated inside and out. We all came and visited her for the 3 weeks before she left this earth. The first week or so, the doctor had her on morphine because of the pain, and she told stories about her life. The last days, she seldom woke up, but we stayed there and talked in hopes that she could heard us. Charlotte, I hope you know how much your life touched our lives.

I’m in my second battle with brain cancer and after watching this, if it comes to a point where there’s nothing else they can do for me, I really like the idea of a living funeral. Her timing was perfect, ten days after her living funeral. So sad but she went out the way she wanted, and got to spend time with friends and loved ones.

If you're going through something similar, please know this: you're not alone. Sending you love and strength

We tried to do this for a dear friend of ours but he didn't make it. The tumor was pressing on his brain and causing blackouts. He passed away two weeks before his celebration of life. We held it as scheduled and it was amazing to see everyone together. Most of us were friends because of him. Thank you Spence! I love you, brother.

My mom had COPD. She was put on hospice. About 11 days in, she woke up and told me she was done fighting. I called the fam and we essentially had a living wake for her. She didn’t want a funeral, no obituary. She said if anyone couldn’t come see her when she was alive, she didn’t want them crying over her when she was dead. She slept for that last 3 days and passed peacefully with the ones who loved her most in attendance. Death doesn’t have to be this big, scary thing. My mom embraced it, said it was part of life and nothing to fear. I can only hope I’m that brave when it’s my time.

Her acceptance makes this event possible. Living funeral so she can meet everyone, hear everyone, and everyone remembers. She seems to have so much energy here. I care for a terminal relative and they still can't come to term with the end, and have all kinds of anxiety and panic.

My best friend arranged a party to say goodbye when he had cancer of the oesophagus. He became unwell before the party and was taken into hospital, I said I’d go to hospital to visit him. Being northern men we never said a nice word to each other but he was out of it that night so I thought I could get away with saying "You are the best friend a man could hope for." Then as clear as day he said "So are you." He passed that night, as his family were celebrating the man he was.

When she talked about wishing she could have children, take her parents on holidays, continue to go cycling, I just hoped she could feel the joy of all those things by being surrounded by her loved ones. As someone with depression, I often want to die. Seeing people who have so much love for and in their lives makes me wish I could give them whatever time I have left. The way her friend hugged her as if she could keep her there just a little longer shows how loved and cared for she is. The way her brother held her hand and spoke about his fear of navigating life without her shows how much impact her presence has. A life where people come together to hold you tight one last time is a life that should go on. I hope she is resting peacefully now and that her light comforts those who had to let her go. ❤️🩹

I lost my only child, my son to covid in 2021. By the time i was driven to the hospital, he had already passed away. I scream cried, and went into shock. The chaplain said he could still hear. So i told him how much i loved him, and thanked him for being my son. That was in Dec, 2021, days before Christmas. I still feel raw, like it was ystrdy. Pls keep both john, and me in your prayers. God bless the beautiful young kady who died, her friends, and family. My milestone bday is 4/3. Yet celebrating without john is very painful.

What stands out for me is when Mike says that the memories she clings on to the most are "running and cycling". We too often take our health and ability to get up and move for granted, assuming this ability will last forever. Mike's story has reminded me that wellbeing is a privilege not a right. Rest easy Mike, and much love and peace to her family and friends. ❤

I only get to "know" Mike in these 17 minutes. But I can already tell that she was a great human being. Kind, strong, determined and loving. This has truly opened my eyes. I think we need to make this a normal thing. To celebrate one's life when they're still here, instead of sobbing beside their coffins, wishing we could turn back time.

It's so cliché to say it, but we really don't give people their flowers when they are here to enjoy them! Funerals and wakes are for those left behind and nobody who speaks of passing EVERY wants to think of their loved ones being sad or crying for them.
I think this is an AMAZING idea! Share your love and say your words BEFORE someone leaves. Send them off with all the love. Don't wallow when they're gone! Smile and laugh while they're here to participate. 😊

I’m still here by the grace of God. I had a stroke that almost took me out. I was given 3-6 months to live. That was such a hard pill to swallow I was not ready to go yet. But 7 times my kids were told u wasn’t going to make it. I’d come back my family would come visit me every Sunday so Sundays was like saying goodbye every time they leave. It was like a nightmare. 3 1/2 years later I’m here. May God watch over you Mike such a beautiful woman so sorry you had to move forward with God. RIP ️️

She seemed so graceful. She must have spent much time reflecting as she had profound words to share. I'm sure she is at peace now, and she is walking with God. Much love to her friends and family.
"May this goodbye be only momentary."

As an RN who has worked in hospice and palliative care for over 17 years - this is beautiful . Please don't ever take the experience of death away from those that are dying . I say this because I encounter clients and their loved ones will often say - " don't say the word hospice , don't say they are at end of life - they will just give up etc.... " I have no choice but to comply but it's very difficult for me . Because guess what? The patient already knows . I've had patients at the end stages of dementia tell me " I know I am dying ." Rather than hide what is happening - be honest - start processing and celebrate the life that is left !

Damn, i am a big man and I'm crying while watching this. I have liver and kidney problems, most of people with my kind of problem rarely surpass age of 45, and now I'm 32 years old. I considering myself have around 10 years to live. When you realize you have that kind of countdown on your life, it will change the way you see the world. I am feeling more alive now than before, and this video remains me the good side of humanity and consciousness. It's beautiful.

I couldn’t finish watching, it broke my heart for someone so young to be ravaged by disease that affects anyone, at any age. I cried for her having to leave her life of being with wonderful family & friends. Mike, some people who knew you, posted sweet, endearing messages to you. You were truly loved. Maybe, somehow you’ll know that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

RIP Mike. i'm sure you were a delighted person.

I am 28, survived a massive surgery in December 19th. Cried in acute pain on New Years and went to the ER the day after for sepsis. I had a giant mucinous adenocarcinoma removed from my right ovary.
I fear death and I fear cancer, I just watched my Lola die to metastatic cancer recently. My older mother died the day before my birthday… on Valentines...
I am not ready to die, and want a family and to be married. I don’t want to die and say eternal goodbye to my significant other.
I feel intensely for Mike, she is beautiful and brave. Thank you for this video… really hard to hear another woman my age go with the cancer I endured. We really do fight, keep fighting..

This is the type of documentary I needed after my dad's passing. Like Mike, he was always surrounded by various of personalities and it always made him stood out the most. I wished we did something like this for him; not only recording his thoughts about his cancer but also just his vision and ideas, around loved ones with the remaining life he has left. I imagined it to be somewhat like this, so thank you for sharing this. RIP <3

My Daddy just passed away 3/17. They diagnosed him with prostate cancer back in 5/23. Told him he had less than 6 months to live. Every day, he cried, waking up knowing each day could be his last. He could no longer walk, so he lay in bed all day with death on his mind. He gained his wings just 2 weeks ago

Honestly I can see her soul trying her best to stay put for the living funeral. She only felt sadness, not resentment. Which is prolly why she passed soon after. I totally get her sadness about what she was gonna miss out on as I get to her age (lol I’m just one year younger) too.

This was heart wrenching. She has a natural charisma and charm about her, too good to be dying at this age. I am 30 now and couldn't imagine dying a year ago as I feel like like my life is just beginning in many ways. It really is so critical to really soak in everyday that you're here.

This takes me back to 12/10/2023 when we lost our youngest sister to cancer. She had just turned 43 on 12/1/2023. This is tough. I’ve felt so helpless as my sister dealt with excruciating pain 24/7. She couldn’t sleep. She couldn’t eat. Couldn’t even drink some water. Sedatives and massages were all that comforted her. I miss you lil sis! I keep going to the phone to call and laugh at the silliest things like we use to but then I’m quickly reminded that you won’t pick up. This still hurts. Sending love to this family because I know exactly how you feel. Be comforted by the good memories and not dwell on those that were unpleasant.

That was a very insensitive question to ask of her, to explain who she imagines herself to be as an elderly person knowing that she will not get to experience being elderly. Please have more compassion and empathy towards people when you are preparing your interview questions. Other than that this was beautiful. RIP Mike 💜🙏 sad that your life ended while you were so young but I know you are in Heaven now with The Lord and no longer in pain.
