IN SEASON TWO, WE EXPLORE THE LAST 24 HOURS OF A WOMAN’S LIFE.
THE HOURS AND MOMENTS LEADING UP TO HER MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH.
LUELLA “BIRDY” PIERCE IS ON THE CUSP OF HER 93RD BIRTHDAY, BUT HAS ALREADY MADE THE DECISION SHE WILL NOT VENTURE IN TO HER 93RD YEAR.
FACING A TERMINAL CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND A FAILING PHYSICAL BODY, SHE HAS REALIZED ALL SHE HAS LEFT IS HER MIND. THE FATE OF FACING YEARS TRAPPED IN A PHYSICAL FORM WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR HERSELF IS A FEAR SHE FINDS CRIPPLING.
WITH THE HELP OF A DISTANT NEPHEW, BIRDY HAS DILIGENTLY PLANNED THE FINAL HOURS OF HER LIFE. TOGETHER WITH NICOLO, SHE WILL FACE DEATH WITH THE DIGNITY AND CONFIDENCE SHE HAS EXUDED HER ENTIRE LIFE.
The June Bug is hosted by Beau Ellis Breedlove.
