How I describe a peaceful death

[dolusmalaka]

my moma threw up a horrible looking fluid before she died. Not at the same time but about 40 minutes before. She was peaceful before that and after. she mumbled something and had a slight smile when the Hospice nurse came in and asked to speak with who ever was with her that morning. My sister and I were there all night. We were exhausted because our mom would stop breathing then start again, this went on for hours and we were having a hard time with it
We went out for a moment to talk with the nurse. Mom passed when we left the room. we both looked at each other and laughed because we knew she waited until we left. We were the youngest, her babies. She protected us til the end. She was still smiling

My grandma passed away today after a few days of her kidneys shutting down. Your videos really helped me understand the process of what she was going through and it really helped. Thank you

I can't even imagine the kind of strength it takes to be a hospice nurse. I couldn't do it in a million years. You are wonderful, Nurse Julie. Thank you so much for the information.

I love you Nurse Julie. Thank you for helping loved ones in passing and their loved ones.

If dying of cancer, I’d like to be heavily medicated period! No pain no trouble breathing, sleeping till I die with my family around me.

Thank you so much for all of your teaching moments. Mum is 92. We thought we were losing her at one moment. I feel much more comfortable with what that would look like. I hope i can be there to hold her hand as she slips from this world into the next. Her mom has been visiting her. I asked what they talked about, because i absolutely believe her. She said she thinks her mom is there to help her be calm. They just talk about this and that. Thanks for what you do.

My husband died a textbook death ; said he wanted to lie down on Friday afternoon. Never said another word , looked like he was asleep, not a sound or grimace. He hied on Sunday at 6 pm . Started mottleing about 4 , went quickly up his body . No pain meds just peaceful death . I hope I can die that way .😪😪

Thanks for a very accurate description of my Mother who died just this morning and was a Hospice care patient... I observed through the night, the exact breathing difference as the night advanced until early morning and she succumbed to her final rest. She was cared for every 10-15 minutes to observe her breathing and whether she seemed distressed and needed either a shift on the mattress and pillows to make her more comfortable. The care given, was not just drugs to allow her to not feel pain, but a constant attention to a total comfort for her in the process of the Alzheimer's advance on her body.

Thank you Julie for what you're doing. Educating people who have not been through this experience. I have been with four relatives during their dying process. Each one was different. It helps when you know what to expect. It doesn't make it hurt any less, but you're not traumatized. I have so much respect for hospice nurses. We had very compassionate and understanding hospice nurses. God bless you.

Thank you for the wonderful education you offer. Personally I have found your series comforting. Blessings.

You are the greatest teacher Julie. I buried 6 out of 8 of my family members mom and dad and 4 brothers. I hope the people watching you channel know how lucky they are. Thanks for your contributions to this world.

Watching someone you love die is the hardest thing to do. I used to be a CNA many years ago. I had no problems going into a room and holding a dying patient's hand. But, 5 years ago, I watched my husband of 35 years die in front of me. That, to me, was the most traumatic thing to do. I'm still struggling with it.

This is so very helpful. Even as a nurse I really hadn’t seen a peaceful death until my own mother passed. About 36 hours before she died, she opened her eyes long enough to silently interact with each of her grandchildren in the room. They got to speak to her and she held their hands. It meant so much to each one, and to those of us who witnessed it!

Hearing your videos helps me deal with my grief.I was with hospice as my mom passed. You're right it's more difficult for us than them. Thank you.

Keep teaching, your so helpful, try to tell others, but they ignore things I say, so hopefully one day, my family will say … dang she kept telling us, why did we not pay attention. So keep speaking for me, great journey for you, it’s going to be great, keep going strong, love ole kitty
