Here Awhile

Anna (played by Anna Camp) returns to Portland, Oregon after 15 years to reconnect with her long estranged younger brother Michael (Steven Strait). Anna reveals that she has been diagnosed with terminal, inoperable cancer and in spite of chemotherapy treatments the cancer has spread. She reveals to Michael that she plans to end her life utilizing Oregon’s unique Death with Dignity Act. Michael cannot deal with this and pleads with her to reconsider, but she is adamant. Michael’s girlfriend, Shonda, Michael’s brilliant, quirky neighbor, Gary (Joe Lo Truglio), and Anna's partner, Luisa, all understand and are supportive of her difficult, heart-wrenching decision. Michael continues to struggles with the thought of losing his sister, who had always been there for him, so caring and supportive during difficult times in the family. Through a series of adventures, the group gets closer and Michael finally understands and accepts Anna’s decision. The group ultimately comes together to celebrate her life. When the time is right, Anna addresses each with a heartfelt goodbye as they surround her with love during her last breaths.
