Three Incredible Things the Body Does Before Death Revealed by Hospice Nurse

Hospice nurse Julie McFadden, based in California, aims to ease people's fear of dying by shedding light on some 'amazing' phenomena the body goes through before death. Dying people can still hear us: Despite appearing still, individuals on the verge of death can still hear their loved ones. Studies suggest that the hearing sensor in the brain is the last to shut down, urging nurses like Julie to communicate as if the patient can respond. Dying people can experience 'mind-blowing' phenomena: Many individuals near death experience 'visioning,' where they recall departed family and friends. Former ICU nurse Julie explains that this is a common, comforting experience that occurs without delusional elements. Dehydration can mean people have an easier death: Julie highlights that allowing a dying person to be dehydrated can actually be beneficial, as the body at this stage cannot handle hydration like a living body can. Attempting to hydrate a dying individual can lead to fluid overload, causing discomfort and respiratory distress. Embracing these insights, Julie hopes to make the process of dying a bit less daunting for both patients and their loved ones.
