The saddest part of this scene is Sheblys real mom was there and the nurse that turned off life support in the movie was the nurse who turned off the life support in real life. Her mom said she wanted to watch the whole scene as they filmed it because “I need to see her (Julia) get up and walk away.” Just so heartbreaking.

@@LynnTanner-ls9kxyes, the screenwriter Robert Harling wrote the play after his sister Susan, a type 1 diabetic, died at 33 in 1985 shortly after giving birth to her son and subsequently getting a kidney transplant, which failed. The story is based on the last years of her life. He wrote it because he wanted his nephew to know who his mother was and how much she sacrificed to have him.

As many times as I've seen this movie, this scene STILL makes me break down. That poor baby was trying to show his dad that his mom was not ok. EVERYONE deserved an award for this scene.

I had to watch my only brother be removed from life support in October two years ago. He'd had surgery to get a portion of his foot removed due to diabetes. On the day he was to be released they put one of the plastic protectors over his foot and sat him in the shower. The nurse left the room to answer her cell phone. We don't know how long she was gone, but when she came back she found he'd fallen over and busted his head open. They revived him once for a few minutes, but he went back into full cardiac arrest. He never woke up again. We had just lost our mother to a stroke that June, and our dad 3 years prior to mesothelioma. He was exposed to asbestos while in the Navy. There's just us two girls left now. Life turns on a dime folks. Love each other. Be there for your family because you NEVER know when the Lord will call them home.

We have come so far in treating juvenile diabetes- for all our complaints about the failings of medical science, think of all the young folks that today can live full and long lives because of that progress. So many, for so long, never had a chance. Shelby was a difficult character, but wanted to live her life to the max and did. Was she selfish, headstrong, etc? Maybe- but she was like a bright comet in the night sky. And she mattered. And her dreams mattered. Great movie!❤

Back then Diabetes was really scary, and it can be even still. Thankfully, there are better treatments and better education. Type 1 Diabetes is still pretty complicated, but the prognosis for a Longer Healthier Life is more realistic. The rise in Type 2 Diabetes is epidemic due to the poisoning of food and limited access to healthier options. Type 2 Diabetes is more manageable, but it is still a very serious condition. Most of Americans are Pre-Diabetic, that isn't a coincidence. Having Diabetes in the 80s was rare, having it now is almost expected. All you can to is continue to take care of yourself and to stay educated as best you can. Many diseases can be reversed or forced into remission. It's tough work and you have to be kind to yourself. Take care.

Seeing this really had me on the verge of tears...when I was 15, my paternal grandmother suffered a heart attack brought on by her Type 1 diabetes, and they attempted to do a bypass, which they couldn't do very much to help. The worst part is that me and my family had to go down to see her in the hospital in Missouri (as my father was born and raised there), and she was in the ICU, which didn't help matters. The sights and sounds were disturbing to me, and I was hoping for her to pull through - she didn't. My poor grandmother was only 63 when she died. As of this comment, my maternal grandmother is the only grandparent I have left on this planet after my maternal grandfather's life was claimed in the tornado that tore through parts of Western Kentucky.

He was 41 years at the time he got it, but it was a good thing my mom told him through a phone call to check himself into the hospital for his affliction. He survived the ordeal.

Watching this scene now reminds me of the day my dad died. Mum and I had heard ambulance sirens and went to look. When I saw Dad lying on the ground surrounded by paramedics, I said: "It's Dad!" Mum said "Oh, no!" which were Dad's last known words before he collapsed. Luckily he'd been talking to a couple of people when it happened. The husband called the paramedics while the wife, a former nurse, started CPR. The paramedics did all they could, but after 45 minutes they said: "He's gone." Both of my brothers took it hard, as did my older nephews, who were almost eight, and my niece, who was five. My two youngest nephews, who weren't much older than little Jack Jr., didn't understand death and were told Granddad's in a special place now. At least they weren't here when it happened. The older children would have known to tell someone "Something's wrong with Granddad!" But the littlest boys would have said: "Granddad fell down. He won't get up." That's what makes this scene so hard to watch. That the little boy was with his mama when she fell down and couldn't understand why she wouldn't get up.

The only movie that kills me everytime for some reason I always expect her to live!

I cried my eyes out at this scence

I had a stroke at 26. I had to drag myself to get help and thats hard to do when your arms and legs arent working right. Seeing her next to the phone on the ground brought back alot of bad memories

Sally Field Played That Role Very Good

This is why I can’t watch this movie regularly. 😭😭😭

I have to say,because of the first part of this scene, I was freaked out about having a baby. There were times after my car accident with my baby where my body would go limp and I would fall to the floor unable to move. I would even wake unable to move my body or my body was mostly numb. I could not watch this movie after having my babies because I was so afraid I would be alone with my baby and I would not wake up. That’s how much this movie made an impact on so many people. It’s one of those movies that suck you in and makes you feel like you were a part of someone’s life.

The town where this movie was filmed, is only a few hours from my house. It was filmed in Natchitotches, LA. I still have yet to do the tour, but I'm hoping to get to it later this month.

On February 14, 2012, I was a freshman at Jackson State University, a music major, a tuba player, and the proud nephew of Blackburn Middle Schools choir director Carniece Smith. At 9 am. that morning, my mother, who was her sister (6 months apart), called me and informed me that she had lost her battle with Type 1 Diabetes. On February 14, 2012, my heart had been broken. On that day, I stopped watching this movie. I couldn't even make it 5 minutes into it without breaking down because I knew the ending. After questioning God for a while, I had to understand that he needed her more. She was at peace without those countless tubes coming from her face. They say time heals everything, but that only applies to specific events in life. Time made it easier for my family and I to deal with it, but we cry even harder because we think about all the what ifs? Seeing this clip reminds me why I don't watch this movie. I saw it first hand and maybe one day I can watch this movie again but it won't be today. She had the prettiest chocolate skin, thick beautiful black hair, a singing voice for the ages, and the sweetest heart in the world. Kindness couldn't even describe her. Love does. She was the loveliest person. Love you, NeNe. ❤ Sincerely, your nephew Christopher.

Sadly she was a very active and very wonderful person in a wheelchair but she was always moving around doing a lot for others seeing the scene of Julia Roberts like in the movie in coma just brings a lot of tears and a lot of sadness. I know it’s supposed to be calming and relaxing for the patient, but for the other loved ones and family members it’s hard to see someone that you love very much in a coma I just can’t bear to suffer to see my family like I mentioned my mom if I was in a coma, I don’t wanna die I want them to give me Alive in a machine so I can get better and not die. I have a huge fear of dying because I don’t want to leave everyone that I love very much but I know that we have to die. Somehow in this movie just brings a lot of sadness and I also suffer with diabetes in to see this movie. It’s just it’s not like funny or anything it’s very inspirational and very moving for me.
