Death is among the subjects that everyone from seven to seventy is nervous and curious about. A nursing home nurse shared why you shouldn’t be afraid of death, stating that death is what many fear most. The video he published on TikTok was watched by millions of people in a short time.
FIRST, THEY SLEEP MORE THAN NORMAL
TikTok nurse Julie McFadden said she had witnessed ‘thousands of deaths’ and pinpointed the main things she learned. She said the first thing people need to know is that when it comes to end-of-life care, people are getting much more sleep than usual. “Like 18 to 20 hours a day.”
MORE THAN HALF SEE THE DEAD
“Almost everyone will start to cut back on food and water, and in the active death phase from a few hours to a few days, they won’t be able to get food or water. I’d say more than half are starting to see dead relatives, dead lovers, dead pets.” He added that it wasn’t scary for them and was actually comforting.
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR CHANGES IN THEIR RESPIRATORY AND SKIN
Nurse Julie said about a third of patients will also experience ‘rally or surge’. “They experience a surge of energy here before they die.” During the active dying phase, patients will have changes in breathing, changes in skin color, and changes in temperature. “They usually have their mouths open and their eyes open, but they don’t make eye contact,” he added.
BODY PREPARES ITSELF TO DIE
While most people will fear the end-of-life process, nurse Julie said it was actually very natural and very peaceful. She added that you can feel comfortable after learning all this, and that the body is ‘biologically programmed to die and take care of ourselves,’ she said.
