I just lost my mom to metastatic breast cancer on March 24th. I live 5 1/2 hours away. I was going down every weekend to see her and work during the week. She didn’t eat for 12 days. When I got there on the 24th she was breathing weird to me. My step dad came in and we laid with her one on each side. I asked when she started breathing like that he said it was new. We told her she fought so hard and she’s so beautiful and the best mom ever. My step dad kept telling her I’m here sweetie. We held her hands and I told her to go find grandpa and go hold your two babies you never got to hold and she took her last breath. She passed about 15-20 minutes after I got to her. One single tear came out of her eye and my step dad said she found her peace. I will miss her for the rest of my life. She was only 54.

I just lost a dear friend yesterday in hospice care, such a calling for those who attend to the dying. It’s a part of life and shouldn’t be feared.

Thank you for these videos. I have cancer and I was so scared but you have given me peace . Along with God.

I am for euthanasia. I almost passed away in 2019. It was crazy. I was in a coma for a long time. I went into the hospital weighing 210 lbs, I came out weighing 94 lbs, it took a lot of fighting to get to where I could walk again, but mom was getting sick so I put all of my energy into getting so that I could take care of her in her last days. And, I did. I was there for her.❤

Even when people die alone, they are really not alone. My grandmother who was in active dieing kept reaching up in the air and kept saying mom, mom, I see you. She had no dementia etc and her mind was as clear as when she was 16 a few days before she passed. She had stopped responding to us but you could tell she was reaching for her mother that she missed so dearly and now could see. Also I'm a retired medic. I have personally witnessed people who were actively dieing (not responding to any family members for days) with her eyes closed. She kept saying, I see a angel. Oh how beautiful. Than she passed 15 mins later. Another one I witnessed was a gentleman. He was not responding to family etc and had been unresponsive for 2 days. But his family kept seeing him reaching up and trying to grab something or someone. The hospice nurse said he was seeing his deceased love ones, possibly Angel's or GOD. He would grab from them with this expression on his face of happiness and pure joy and love. When he would bring his arms back down he would have a facial expression of frustration. About 20 mins before he passed he reached both arms straight up in the air. He had the strongest look of peace. He took one more breath and passed. He was reaching for whomever was there taking him home. WE NEVER TRULY DIE ALONE.

My brother and I were present when my mom passed. It was exactly like this video. We were each holding one of her hands as she passed. It was gentle, quiet and not undignified at all. My brother didn't like that her mouth was open, but I had to remind him that this is what mom always looked like when she fell asleep in front of the tv - men! Julie, thank you so much for the knowledge that you are sharing with us. This is a normal part of life and we shouldn't be ignorant of it.

She looked so peaceful. Thank you for showing this. I’ve always been curious but society keeps it taboo. Thank you for this educational experience

I am the Chief Deputy Coroner for my county.

I have the privilege of working with men and women like this everyday. There are not enough words to describe the men and women who do this day in and day out. They not only help their patients. The help family and friends as well.

I can’t do anything but offer my heartfelt thanks and prayers for Julie and those who serve in this profession.

As a CNA, I was always worried or scared for my first resident passing. Then it happened and it was peaceful. I also was with my favorite resident during the actively dying phase. Quite frankly I was honored I could hold their hand.

[kathleenspeegle]

Reminds me so much of when my mom died. I held her hand that whole morning. I let go for just a moment and she passed.

My grandmother, was in this phase yesterday. For a couple hours. This was 7:55pm. No consciousness, I kissed her forehead and her eyes focussed on me for 1 last time, thus her being 90% blind. Full eye lock on, I remember walking back, to the end of the bed, she gurgled and gurgled until I told her to go see grandpa, and do what she loved the most, which was playing organ. So beautiful, yet sad moment in my life. I will miss her everyday, our truck rides, going to camp, entering the church to peaceful music played by my grandmother every sunday, I’m very thankful to know she wasn’t in any pain, as she was on sedation. Thank you for this video. Condolences for the person in this video as well❤️

My grandma passed away two weeks ago and she was on hospice and I took care of her, I just wanted to let you know your videos really prepared me for her last days.
Thank you for educating all of us ❤

[brookiebrooke]

Thank you to the lady who shared this. My grandpa passed in 2021 and I was unable to be there. When they described his last hours it worried me that he might have been in pain. It was all normal as this elderly woman was in the video. Now I understand what he was going through and it makes sense with what my family described. I feel better about it now. Thank you for posting.

[JohnnyDFG]

Thank you for this. I just now literally came home from the long term care home looking after my 87 year old aunt who is traveling slope downwards to what this very video showed.
I am the only one caring for her needs and well being as the rest of the family is even older than she is. This will fall on my shoulders 4 times in the coming years. This video helped more than you or the original poster can know. Thank you.

These videos of people in their last moments are so beautiful. They make me wonder about all the events and experiences they must have had, and now, we get to witness the culmination of all that as they take their final breaths. It really is a testament to the sacredness of life, and it makes you appreciate the people who are still in your life.

My son passed away suddenly in 2019. He was 28 years young and a beautiful soul. I was a few hundred miles away. I often wonder what it was like for him. If he was scared, but these videos have helped me to understand that he went peacefully. Rest in peace beautiful Conor, may angels see thee to thy rest.❤

March 11th, I lost my mom. Then, March 28th, my father. 3 weeks apart in 2021. They were married 58 years, and I took care of both for their last several years as they were both terminal. It was absolutely the hardest, most precious thing I have ever done. They gave me an amazing life through their hard work. They died at home with family and the best nurses who cared so incredibly much. I miss them more than I can explain, but they had dignity, love, care, their own bed, and smells of their home. They were 73. I'm so glad I have so many amazing memories because, as I'm typing, these tears are rolling down like crazy because my parents were such amazing people. Treasure your loved ones, love everyone. Most of all let your loved one know that it's ok to let go...a d that you'll be there. If anyone is going through this right now I send love, light, spirituality, and hugs because even though I can talk about it I cry, deeply every time I do. ❤️

[BelleOfAmherst]

Sat by bedsides of many as they passed. It is so quiet. Not like the cries of the birth of a baby. That surprised me. May we each have ONE person, even if not family, to be with us when we take our last breath.💗

[rebekahwarriorspirit]

Julie thank you for helping at the most vulnerable time ❤. It's part of circle of life

[ozpilotgirl]

A someone with pancreatic cancer, who may or probably not survive ( the stats aren't great), your words and this video, brought me enourmous comfort. I don't want to be afraid of the death process. You have helped ease my fears, to a degree. Thank you
