What does it do to a relationship when the caregiver is your partner? Nancy (63 years old) and her long-time partner Gwyn (88 years old) share the benefits and the strain of this partner dynamic. They have helped each other create detailed wills, choose their caskets and pick their green burial spots -- complete with a tree that straddles both their plots so that they may return as birds sitting on the same branch. All this pre-planning is letting Nancy and Gwyn think ahead and potentially lessen the strain on the surviving caregiver.

This inspiring documentary series shines a light on the evolution of death and dying, and the relationship between caregivers and terminal patients. It challenges ideas about end-of-life care and provides new ways to improve the quality of care.
