10 signs death is near on Hospice

[@Crystalquartz964]

My Mum died today, everything you said, Nurse Julie, was correct! She was 95 and in the final stages of Alzheimer's. 10 days before she died I noticed the "death reach", talking about my Dad who died 6 months ago and wanting to "go home, as people were waiting". 3 days before she died, she had "terminal lucidity" and was very animated and chatty ... only to decline straight afterwards. THANK YOU JULIE for helping me to recognise that her death was near. It was still a shock and I miss her already ....

[@amberbennett1121]

Bless your heart. It’s such a horrible disease to watch and I’m sure go through too. If you don’t mind me asking, was your mom completely non-verbal and then started chatting? I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine losing my mom. Hugs friend!!

[@SOZO_xo]

I’m so sorry for your loss. My mom is in her final days. She is on Morphine and Ativan and sleeps most of the time. She is non-verbal and when her eyes open she stares but never makes eye contact. I’ll be sad for her to go but will be so happy that her nightmare of a life is over. 😢

My mom died a week ago. Did not want to eat or drink, constantly removing her gown and oxygen, talking about dead relatives, had the death rattle, looking at something next to me, I knew it was someone who passed before, maybe my dad. Also reaching out at night above her head. I witnessed this on our night camera. That one surprised me. She finally died peacefully and quietly. Gos bless her soul.

[@amarenee2020]

Hi Nurse Julie,
About 2 weeks before my husband passed away he told me he was hallucinating! He knew he was seeing things that were not there so I told him he could tell me what he was seeing and I would help him through it. One time he told me he saw a big boat and an island in our back yard Another time I was across the room and he told me to grab the sombrero before it fell. I reached out and asked if I had the sombrero and he calmly said “It’s not there is it?” He never said he saw his father, mother or son who had all passed away years before he became sick. But he didn’t believe in the afterlife so he might not have recognized or wanted to believe he was actually seeing them.
Thought you might like to know that he was completely aware that he was hallucinating in the final weeks of his life.
Also in the final hours of his life his lungs filled with fluid and his breathing was more like suffocating then the other examples I’ve seen in your videos. He was lucid and begging me to end his suffering. In his final hours when he couldn’t talk he was begging with his eyes. In the final 5 minutes of his life his heart and breathing stopped and restarted twice before both finally stopped completely. It was horrible to watch.
But I was also with my mother in 2000 when she passed away after a massive stroke and it was a completely different experience. I understood she was brain dead and felt her soul was gone many days before she took her last breath. It was like waiting for her body to realize she was no longer there.
I truly hope I never have to watch a loved one die again but if I do I feel I will be better prepared thanks to your videos. Thank you so much for making these and I hope you will be able to keep up this wonderful work for all of us

My mom looked to a corner on the opposite side of the room from where I was seated next to her. She clearly said Don, which was my dad's name after not talking at all for 3 days prior to her passing. She passed 2 days after saying his name. My two sisters and I were there by her side all the time as well as her 2 sisters. For the first time, very early in the morning the only people that were there was her sisters. She chose that time to die. It was also a leap year, so she passed on February 29th. It felt like she picked that time and day to spare her daughter's as much pain and grief as possible. Miss her so much!

My husband died a week ago today. He had Alzheimer's for over 15 years and was still continent and walking a few miles a day up until a behavioral issue a month ago that ended him up in hospitals. They drugged him so badly with antipsychotics and wouldn't let him out of bed. After weeks of that he became incontinent and unable to walk. As much as I advocated for him, hospitals are not healing places anymore. They basically kicked him out and he went into a care home with hospice. Julie, your videos helped me so much to get through his last days. He had some agitation at first. But when he was awake he was smiling/laughing and looking all around the room. Our son died a few years ago and I'm pretty sure he was hovering around his dad. Sadly when my husband actually passed I was not there with him. When I got home after getting the call he had died, the little solar light in my plant by my front door was madly blinking. That little light has never worked before. Not once until that night. I'm sure it was hubby letting me know he was fine. It's been a week and the light has not been on again since. But he sent me my sign that night..❤️

[@surgicaltoolboxrnhealthbea3292]

My mom was talking about her mom and grandmother like they were alive. She then told me the dreams about them seem to be so real that it was convincing. I believe it’s visitation of their real spirits. She also looked so young and beautiful the last time I spoke with her. The transition look she was almost in heaven where everyone is young and beautiful. She was glowing.

We just got word that my mom is entering the final stages. She is on hospice. She’s not eating, drinking or communicating. When she does, she’s so weak she can barely mumble. Your videos are so helpful to be reassured it’s all normal. 💔

[@Judi4Him4Ever]

…. And yes, yesterday she told the nurse my brother was coming to bring her to her new home.

[@pennyloafer3358]

My dad said he saw his parents and he was always reaching up and to the left. I heard somewhere that the left is more common than the right, but maybe that's because most people are right handed and reach left? My dad was left handed though lol. Anyway, his parents had a very acrimonious marriage and separation / divorce thirty years prior. My grandfather went rogue and vanished for eight years, during which time my grandmother died from stress. It comforted me that he saw them together, seemingly at peace together, waiting for him. That was something he'd never seen in his life. Another thing was that he could see across the courtyard of the hospital to the windows on the other wing, and he thought he was on cruise ship. He really liked his cruise ship. That was cool to see. :)

[@carolynsuchan1211]

I am still thinking about the terminal agitation that my husband went through. He passed away Two years ago and I’m still feeling guilty about what he went through during his death. He kept us on our toes. He was constantly taking his socks off and somtimes his clothes. He would set up and pull the oxygen cords from the wall, trying to get out of bed. He never slept and we were constantly calling the Hospice nurse to see what we could do. They kept trying different meds for him, but every change seemed to make him worse. It goes on and on. If it wouldn’t have been fir my children helping me and staying at night, I don’t know what I would have done,

[@markreagan8277]

I'm sorry you had to experience this. My loved one was agitated for over two weeks before passing with cancer. It is amazing to be on such powerful medicine and still not sleeping much. I was the constant caregiver with no help. Hospice was refused until I signed the papers. Less than two days later, God took their precious soul. I had a tremendous amount of guilt and grief, but three days later, an 11 year old thank you card fell out of a book, thanking me for taking care of them and an I love you very much. God be with you.

The aspect that fascinates me the most is the calling out for relations who've passed. With my Dad is was my little brother, and his favourite dog, among others. As if they were there. Fortunately for nurses they're generally unfamiliar with the familial connections/relations, as even more than the physical, it can be one of the most deeply heartbreaking, yet somehow comforting, aspects of passing. For relations and friends....truly a confusing time of conflicting emotions.

Hi, Julie my father died June 11 2023. I miss him very much. He chose to die at home with hospice. I noticed that he kept reaching up and touching his bed sheets a lot during the last days of his life. He also kept making a moaning sound for 2 to 3 days before he passed away. Your video was helpful. I did ask him if he saw his deceased brother sister or mother but his response to me was how can I see them they are dead. I asked him that question because I heard that it is very common for dying people to see and talk to deceased relatives. I am so happy that hospice was there for us. They are so wonderful. My father passed away right after me and the hospice nurse left his apartment. My mom called me shortly after saying that he was gone. I will never forget that phone call.

Now Dad is 103. He sleeps more, has ever deepening dementia, more fatigue, more confusion, needs total care for dressing, toileting and bathing, etc., but he still enjoys his meals. Except for his enjoyment of food, this video indicates that he may be approaching end of life. Would you concur?

I believe a person's lifelong character and personality greatly decides on how they will behave towards the end of life. I've known a tough as nails and stoic Korean War veteran who never shared his feelings or thoughts with anyone unless doing so benefits him. At his passing, his family said that he never made even a slight sound or motion of discomfort, and was utterly stoic just like how he had been through life. If he had any pain or fear, or anything else, nobody knew and he kept it to himself even through the final moments.

My daughter (who was one of them) and I came to visit him in the afternoon and he smiled when he saw her. The other niece was 3000 miles away. and could not come to say her "good byes." A nurse who he had never seen before came to check on him and introduced herself as "Amanda." She held him hand and was kind to him for the little while she was there with him. He died an hour after she left. My nieces name is, "Amanda" and the nurse even resembled her. Call it coincidence or was God behind this? My heart hurts today but I am comforted that my brother got to "see" both of the nieces that he so loved.

You address many issues that concern families of loved ones who are approaching death. This brings clarity and comfort to them.
However I think you are also expressing dangerous personal views about the spirit world.
There is our Lord Jesus Christ who is there to save all who call on him in faith.
There is also Satan and his demons, some of which can appear as angels of light.
We all need to pray for discernment. And to decide who we serve before death and where we choose to spend eternity.

When my Dad was dying, he saw dead friends, and relatives, and he saw a dead nephew. The dead nephew had died only a few days prior, and the doctor told us not to mention it to Dad (he was the executor of the nephew’s estate), as it would just upset him. Explain that one.

Last year I lost both my parents. My father died first, at home. While on the phone with 911, I was was trying to resuscitate him through chest compressions. While doing so my father reached up one of his arms toward me. What do you think he was trying to express ? I thought it to mean that he had some kind of understanding with me. My father didn't speak much . I think he had many secrets. 😊But I don't know. I regret not finding your channel whilst my parents were alive. It would have helped all concerned.I am Christian. My father wasn't.

I've been with a few loved ones on Hospice. Only one ran a high fever. She was gone after only a couple days. What caused the fever? Sepsis?

[@DepDawg]

My cousin had that. The doctors said it was terminal fever. Id never heard of that before, and I’ve lost a number of friends and family to cancer, dementia, COVID, and pneumonia. He had cirrhosis. His temp went down and then he was more alert and sitting up. He seemed to be getting better and we were hopeful, but they told us it was terminal lucidity. The patient rallies for a little bit and then dies. And sure enough, about 30 hrs later his breathing became difficult and he was gasping and growling/snoring and then he died 😢

XootrFoot was he given morphine the last days of life?
Sorry for your loss. My mom was given morphine, and passed similarly.

Turning deathly pale is an alarming symptom.

[@Ranzoir]

I hate stating the obvious but death will always be near if they are in hospice. I am also looking for answers, one more minute of conversation, one more hug. I spent my life loving my mother, I never married so she was always number 1 to me. She left so abruptly and I never got to say goodbye and it kills me..

[@schawnettarobinson8584]

So true ❤❤❤: I saw all these signs with my mother.

[@silverdoe9477]

I’m still so scared of this.

[@debasishroy4826]

My father died after suffering from 3rd stroke and i haven't noticed these types of things.

[@bb_lz9790]

Mom's in Hospice. Some days she wants to eat, others not. She still craves her daily glass of wine...our sign that the end is near is when she doesn't want that...

[@budgetboss6084]

You just described what has been happening to my dad (stage 4 copd) for the last 7 months.
Near death??? He says he wants to go and that he's ready to go, but i can see he is fighting death with all his might. Is this normal? Is he lying about wanting and being ready?

[@wejoin]

She was seeing children (I believe they were the miscarriages she had) and saying that she is going to her other house. It was sold 30+ years ago.

[@novapinkney9088]

Are these signs across the board?, for all age groups or just the older population?

[@janchozenbays4604]

Hi Julie. We have four nurses in our family. One is about to take a job as a home hospice nurse in January. Is there a book you can recommend to her to read before she starts work? Thanks.

[@lalane5023]

You had mentioned terminal agitation. For those with mental health problems, did you see the agitation in these patients?

[@Rickarnott617]

my mom is exactly like that , 89 , sleeps 24/24 i expect her death with 1 or 2 weeks, asks about dad brother , no idea if day or night , etc...no eating ,

[@danahummer765]

[@SUNTUKANBREAKDOWNTV]

I'm always wondering if you are sick and you sleep a lot you are gaining more strength to recovery your body itself right??

[@missswint35]

Wow that was everything my dad did

[@user-nn4ex4ot8h]

When a bed ridden patients limbs start to curl up...should we do Range of motion stretches or just leave alone since they are on hospice?

[@kristheobserver]

My dad had all these symptoms, including seeing his dead relatives.

[@frenatfarms]

We shall all pass through this one day except those who die through accident or any other form of death

[@AbsoluteSurvivor]

I can’t die in a delusional state - I experienced it when I suffered a perforated bowel. It was the most frightening experience I’ve ever had.
I simply refuse to go out like that.
Think I’ll take my life just as I start to get really sick.
(Sorry I I’ve offended anyone with my statement; it wasn’t my intention) 🙂👍

[@millzmoney9790]

Rest in peace to my grandma , passed at 3:32am today

[@hanahudcova891]

Yes it may be true but on the other hand my children had almost all these signs whenever they caught cold when they were small. I am thankfull they didn't die.

[@montibarnett6740]
