Hospice Nurse Julie's videos are exemplary. I am new to caregiving and she explains things so well. She is a great teacher and comfort, and she puts into words what is difficult to talk about.

I needed to hear this right at this moment. I took my mom to the ER yesterday. She was admitted overnight for aspiration pneumonia. As I was typing to find a video to help with my thoughts of "what now"? Then you guys popped up! Thank you Dr. Natali and Hospice Nurse Julie

[lisalassiter]

My mom passed this past January of dementia. I have followed this channel for many years and Dr Natali was a life saver for me in my care journey. As we neared the end I started to realize that I was unprepared for her death and I had a lot of questions that no one talks about. I happen across Hospice Nurse Julie and she helped me prepare as best I could for the end of her life. I thought it was really helpfully for me to see her videos of actual end stage breathing patterns and other end of life videos. I strongly believe this topic needs to talked about more. It truly helped me navigate the last month with a little more comfort.

Hospice nurse Julie Videos have been so helpful to our family.
I’ve been watching her because my mother in law has dementia and I’ve been watching her videos and careblazer videos for over a year. One month yesterday my mom died. She was at dinner with us on march 11th and had to leave because she felt sick. She was put on hospice march 20. She does April 11. The things she went through would have been so co fusing and misleading and scary during that process. But we were prepared and just witnessed what nurse Julie had already prepared us for.

My Mum died of dementia or with dementia last Tuesday at the age of 89. I watched the YouTube channels of both you beautiful professionals. They helped me with supporting Mum with her Alzheimers and understand the dying process. So I was informed for her living and her dying. It made me much more confident and understanding.

[hansfourie]

Wonderful video!!! One thing I was told while my mom was on hospice, that hearing was the last thing to go and I was encouraged to continue talking to her, read passages from the Bible, and express how much she’s loved❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[wendychappellbarefoot]

my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 2017 though she clearly had multiple manifestations for many years prior to diagnoses. i moved her into my home in 2017 and, with a lot of support, cared for her until she passed. we palliated her at home last month and it was quite an amazing and peaceful process. i am so grateful she did not have to leave home for her dying and death.

[subversivevegan]

She is amazing and helped me all the way to my spouse’s death. We truly do not need to be afraid.

[estherschmitz]

Thank you so much for this video!! More people need to be educated on this! Death is a part of life that will happen to all of us… nobody wants to talk about it. Thank you for sharing this content.

[Reet]

This has been really helpful. We have been trying to get a palliative team for my mother but there is so much resistance and it's more like just reactionary medicine rather than instituting an actual plan. It's extremely frustrating and as a very tired caregiver I wish there were a better system to help families with this. Thank you both for the work that you do and the information and support you offer.

[Lauren_]

Hospice Nurse Julie is THE BEST OF THE BEST. She educates and teaches us NOT TO BE AFRAID of death and what happens when a person is dying (what to expect).

[yvonnetitus]

I actually look forward each Wednesday for her Live at Five. I am just a regular person looking for education before I need to know.

[milels]

I live in the Uk my husband in early stage dementia it’s bad for the carer I have not seen a nurse since the first visit thought I would see her and get more help but I understand how busy they are The problems are the same here Thank goodness we have you two nurses Bless you ❤️🙏

[PlayingGamesPoorly]

I HATE THIS. But I know this knowledge is so necessary for whats coming. Thank y'all for putting this together.

[irmapena]

This was wonderful! Please keep educating us caregivers. Thank you both kindly

[mrs.e]

I would have appreciated a consult with my loved ones doctor at the start of their care and as they began their decline. Even though a nurse could as well explain care, having the doctor in a face to face would have been reassuring and shown that he was invested in our loved ones care. I am tired of the unavailability of doctors in a care setting when families are not getting answers from staff or their loved one is being affected by wait times for decisions from doctors. Answers are critical at times and our family has waited for weeks for staff to move through protocols to receive answers from our loved ones doctor.

[kwbywpl]

Dr. Natali, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for having Hospice Nurse Julie cover such important topics! I have learned a great deal from her videos.

[KimberleyBrown-ytlb]

Educating healthcare professionals is in big need. My mom has dementia. You have to be the patient's advocate. Thank you for the transparency and truth. Thank you!!!
