Ali Tate Cutler, the renowned Victoria's Secret model, bravely shared an unforgettable conversation with her beloved grandmother, affectionately known as 'Bubbie.'

In a deeply poignant exchange, Ali's grandmother confided in her about her heartbreaking choice to seek medical assistance to end her life, having received the devastating news of a terminal illness.

Residing in Austin, Texas, where the laws surrounding euthanasia pose significant restrictions, Ali Tate Cutler found solace in the fact that her beloved 'Bubbie' resides in Canada, a country that legalized the procedure in 2016.

Ali took to TikTok, sharing a heartfelt video that quickly garnered over 3.2 million views.

In this emotionally charged exchange, Ali delicately asked her grandmother about her emotions leading up to the crucial day, the process involved in requesting euthanasia, and her grandmother's perspective on what lies beyond.

While withholding her grandmother's real name, lovingly referred to as 'Bubbie', she shared that her grandmother perceives the impending appointment as a beacon of hope—a "light at the end of the tunnel."

Explaining how the process worked after she requested euthanasia, she told the camera: "I know that they set an appointment, [there's] an initial injection putting you to sleep, and the big pain is a prick in the hand to provide for the little valves.

"And then once you're in a deep sleep there are two other injections. At that point you don't know, so it's painless."

She also shared that she'd prefer to do it at the hospital rather than at home because, as she puts it: "I came in quietly, I'd like to go out quietly."

When Ali asked her how she feels in the build-up to the day, she peacefully replied: "I'm looking forward to just putting an end to being dependent, [having] no control.

"I've always made my own decisions for myself in living. I trust I will in death."

She revealed that she's expecting her late husband to be waiting for her on the other side.

"I do believe my husband is there saying, 'it's about time'," she shared.

"And I'll say, 'Hi Arin I'm here'. That's it."

Ali and her grandmother's story quickly resonated with online audiences, propelling them to viral fame.

While a small segment of viewers expressed discomfort and voiced opposition to her grandmother's decision, the overwhelming majority was deeply moved by the poignant narrative.

The emotional journey shared by Ali and 'Bubbie' evoked empathy and understanding, touching the hearts of countless individuals who connected with their profound bond and the challenging choices they faced.

One touched follower commented: "She's writing how her story ends on her terms!! Praying that you all find peace in her decision."

A second shared: "No one can fathom how hard this is for the both of you. You're both incredibly strong and you have so much love to you both."

And a third wrote: "What an insanely strong and beautiful woman. Big respect for her choice."

In a follow-up video, Ali shared her grandmother's advice for those with years left to live.

"Laugh. Have fun. Enjoy your loved ones as much as you can," she urged.

"Tell them you love them. Be open, be honest, talk. Just talk.

"If you have love in your life, hold onto it because it's so precious."
