Real Life Footage of the Actively Dying Phase

[@panamafloyd1469]

Thanks again, Julie. I'm actually the one who's dying. Early stages (untreated cancer, I've made it 13mos) , I'm still ambulatory, not incontinent yet, and actually eat something from time to time! But sharing your stuff with my friends/fam tells them what to expect later on. It helps them as much as anything can, I suppose. Keep doing this. People need to know.

You sound like a very resilient and special person. My mum never accepted her cancer and she became instantly depressed and withdrawn from diagnosis until she passed and it was like she had already left me. God bless you x

[@glennarussell4682]

As a caregiver I cared for several family members. While caring for my mother, I climbed in her bed, sat up behind her, rapped my arms around her and told her that she could go, that she raised us well, that we would be alright and that we all loved her very much. Shortly thereafter she took her last breath. It was such an honor to be able to be there for her. She was an angel on earth, now she's an angel in heaven. Love, from S. California.

[@marjorieferrer9520]

You just made me cry, you gave your mother the best of you in her worst time and gave her peace. I’m a mom of six , two of them are gone and the three turned their backs on me , only one stayed. And there’s not a day that I don’t pray for their safety and peace in their lives. I hope that when my time comes to go that they will be there for me like you did for your mom. If not, I hope God will just take me quietly . You were a blessing to your parent may God bless you always.

[@sarahrupert5320]

I have no doubt that she heard you & your soothing, loving voice helped with her peaceful passing. You sound like a wonderful daughter & I’m sure she was an amazing mother who is still watching over you now. Thank you for sharing. 💜

[@lauranorwar]

@@glennarussell4682 this is such a beautiful story! Clearly she did raise you well, and with your sweet words, she was assured it was ok for her to go. Because she loved and trusted you, and because she was safely enveloped in your arms.

[@MagsChase1229]

I told both my mom and dad that they were going and that they will see a loved one or Jesus or an Angel. I said to them that, “they will get up out of this bed and go with the loved one.” With my mom, I said all her children’s names and said we will all be fine. It took about 12 hrs before she went left. My dad, I told him on Saturday afternoon. I was louder and more authoritative at that point. I asked him to let go. The sufferings for both of them was no good and I felt they would understand that statement. Overnight, my dad became unconscious and Tuesday early afternoon he passed. (sadly, hospice arrived on Monday for evaluation and Tuesday, he received medication in his mouth / by his cheek) and passed 30 mins later. Every dying person would benefit to be on hospice for at least a month prior to passing.

@@Makreads this!! I really appreciate her family for being to open to share with us this moment for them. It makes it easier for people who are wanting to learn about this process or will have to go through it themselves or with a loved one. My mom passed away at my house while I was at the park with my younger siblings and I didn’t get to be there for her. I’m so sad she experienced her last breath alone without me. But so grateful to be able to have some insight into how peaceful it could be if I needed to be there for another loved one in the future especially consider how fast my grandparents are aging. It also gives me some ideas of how to make my loved ones comfortable if necessary and what to expect in the moment etc.

[@Bithia65]

@@victoriat7716 Some people say that our loved ones choose to go when we are apart from them. They hang on until we go so it is less traumatic. I am not sure how that works but that is an explanation I was given. If it helps. My mum is 99 and I am waiting waiting waiting and wondering how it will be for me and her. I remember how hard it was for me - this last stage with my dad. I got my mum in to be with him, and had to go out...he passed when I was out and mum was with him and she was at peace throughout the process.

No, quite the opposite actually. I've had a couple of NDEs due to anaphylactic shock from an unknown allergy at the time - (Alpha Gal) Transitioning feels like being high or on nitrous. Colors get brighter, sounds seem more distant, yet louder. Once you get past that feeling of impending doom that the body gives off as a danger signal, you start relaxing more & the thought of dying isn't scary, given how intense & yet peaceful these sensations become. You don't think about regrets so much as being grateful & focusing on the good things.

End of life should be as sacred as the beginning of life. My husband passed in 2007. He was 56 yrs old . He was unconscious and at home . Surrounded by family and friends. My hospice friend told😂 me to tell him it’s okay to go . I didn’t think he could hear or understand me. His body was shutting down & he could no longer eat or drink . So I sat by his side held his hand and said I will always love you and I am grateful to God for our life together. But you must go . No more worrying no more pain . I will be fine with the precious memories. And with that he had a huge exhale and was gone . Sharing the gift of going home should be as special as a new arrival.

Very helpful video. As a retired mortician, funeral Director I have been present at several deaths and hospice is such a great organization. If I can add anything from experience, then it would be that after death air can still be located in the lungs and moving the body can cause a final exhalation which I have explained to a bereaved family more than once. It can be a very, very sad field to work in , but very personally rewarding as well. you have to give a lot of yourself. however, what personally sustains me is my faith in knowing that it does not end at the grave.

My mother was the sole caretaker of my quadriplegic stepfather for 45 years,.Before she died (a month ago), she was complaining that she needed someone to take care of her, both physically and mentally, and was severley depressed. I couldn't be there for her as I live in a different country. She spent the last couple of months in a beautiful hospice, surrounded by the most wonderful staff who she loved dearly, and got all the attention she was craving, I was blessed to be there with her in her last days and witness how calm and happy she was when she passed away. I truly admire the wonderful work hospice nurses and doctors do, there are no words to describe how grateful I am.

My mother passed away June 9,2024. Some of her children were moistening her lips and inner cheeks with the sponge when she bit down. It was at once alarming, then kinda funny as they all looked at each other saying “now what do we do??!!” After a few minutes her jaw muscles relaxed again and the sponge was removed. Nursing staff said that commonly happens. Be prepared but don’t try to pull it out until the loved one releases their jaw muscles.

I was with my twin sister and held her as she passed from breast cancer. Since I was born first I must have also witnessed her first breaths. Being there for her last breaths was such a privilege. She had been non-verbal for about a week and had her eyes shut until the very end when she opened them briefly. I'm not sure she saw me, but the hospice nurse encouraged me to talk to her because hearing is apparently the last sense we lose. I hope she knew how much I loved her and wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else for her last moments. She breathed very much like the lady in the video.

I’m not frightened of the actual dying process. I’m frightened of what comes after… and if that is nothing… that scares me the most. I close my eyes sometimes and try to imagine nothingness, a void, blackness, no conscious thought… and it terrifies me. I know I won’t know… and yet, it still frightens me. Perhaps it’s the thought that I haven’t done enough in the living stage. I don’t even know if any of that makes sense. It’s difficult to explain

[@KinjiUrba]

Why? do you remember before you were born? No. That's how I feel about death. I won't know. I fear pain with the lead up - I do not want a painful drawn out death.

[@kiwigirljacks]

@@KinjiUrba I suffer from a severe pain disorder .. so I’m very comfortable with physical pain. It’s my whole existence. It’s the thought of no existence that scares me. The nothingness. I’ve existed so pre-birth was before the conscious thought I have now. It’s not the same to me personally. Maybe it’s like a said, the fear of not having done things I wish I had done. I don’t know. All I know is that when I try to imagine it, it frightens me.

[@KinjiUrba]

​@@kiwigirljacks My point is that I was unaware of the fact I existed before I was born and a don't even recall being born or my very early birthdays or anything. I feel as though death will be like being born into something else that goes beyond my comprehension to understand, and therefore I won't know the difference. If a person is no longer alive, they would miss nothing and not know what to miss. They are no longer conscious here on earth. I relate this a bit to people fearing cremation after death. If you are dead already why fear that? However, they don't think about what the morgue will do be removing all of their blood and replacing it with Formaldehyde. Your opinion is of course worth as much as mine on any matter. I just wish I could help you with that fear and perhaps think about it a bit differently. I've personally faced my mortality with 2 cancer diagnoses. The 2nd being stage 4a Head & Neck. I had to learn to come to terms with something and religion certainly isn't my choice with. I don't even personally like the "God" that Christians worship. If he had a plan, he needs a new one. I believe there is probably something bigger than us that we just don't comprehend. It's probably best that way. I'll bet being born was surely not a fun and comfortable day for me either. Death seems to be similar on the way out, just reversed.

[@kiwigirljacks]

@@KinjiUrba I appreciate your way of thinking. And I envy you in the way you can approach death. I of course can logically understand that once I’m dead there is no longer any conscious thought and no fear or pain. But while I’m living I can’t help but think about not existing any longer and feel a sadness about it. I was brought up very religious. But even the teaching of resurrection which was supposed to bring comfort in seeing dead loved ones again, or the idea of living again (in whatever form that takes), never gave me solace because I never aligned myself truly with the concepts and therefore did not think I would be receiving a ‘resurrection’. So I think that upbringing affected me greatly because I never felt good enough to get that ‘reward’ and therefore I would simply no longer exist. In my adulthood, I’ve struggled with knowing what comes next. Perhaps that’s where this all stems from. I choose mostly not to think about it much now, because that’s my coping mechanism. Sorry for what you went through. It sounds like you are indeed very strong to have come through that and maintained a mental fortitude! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I appreciate others perspectives, even if I may never reach that same level of acceptance ✌️

Thanks for this, Julie. When my husband died three years ago, it was during the Covid-19 pandemic and I was not able to remain at his bedside in his final moments. However, when I arrived at the hospital in the afternoon before he passed away, he was already unconscious, but I knew from my understanding of the dying phases that he could still hear me, so I spoke to him for a long time and the hospital Chaplain came to bless him and we recited the Lord's Prayer together and the Chaplain read a few short scriptures that were comforting. My husband wasn't afraid of dying but was worried about leaving loved ones behind, and the combination of prayers and healing helped him to let go of his physical body and allow his spirit to move on. He had been physically unwell for quite some years before he died, so losing him physically was hard, and yet I knew it was his time and that his spirit could not live in his body anymore. My husband died in peace. Death is still a taboo subject and is avoided as a topic of ordinary conversation, and yet it is nothing to be afraid of. It is just a transition to the afterlife. A year and a half after my husband's death, my stepdaughter found out she was pregnant and a little girl was born, so my husband's genes live on through his daughter and granddaughter, which brings me a lot of comfort. Sometimes I see a glimpse of him when she smiles. I have so much respect for Hospice Nurses and staff who look after the terminally ill and dying. Death is as sacred as birth.

Mama abruptly came out of slumber, told the nurse she would let us know when she was in pain and wanted medication only at that time. The nurse relented then.

@@Stridefully That's very upsetting, really. Well, is there any kind of campaign people can start to raise awareness about this?

Thank you very much to the family for allowing the video just to educate us. May she rest in peace 🕊️🤍

I can honestly say that I wouldnt want anyone, loved one or not, to see me this way. I would rather be remembered as my best self. Pride and dignity mean everything to me, as well as sparing loved ones from everything you mentioned. I think I had better make my wishes known ahead of time. Thank you for all your helpful and compassionate info. Hope to get your book to gift to my daughters.

Yes, you are entitled to your feelings. It's always a good idea to plan ahead if you can. I have. You can do what are called advanced directives. They are are legally binding documents letting your family, medical people, hospitals etc . Basically everyone what your wishes are. There are other documents as well. Check with your local hospital or medical district to find more information. An attorney can also help. Big Love ❤

My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer last year and had been in hospice these last three months. Your videos have really helped my family and I have less fear about his inevitable passing. He passed last night, and I still go back to your videos to reassure myself that what he was going through was normal. Thank you so much for this ❤️

This has to be one of the most professional and knowledgeable videos of a life’s lesson out there. I think she makes the loved ones and family members more at ease of letting go, and realizing that they are not suffering. But, it’s just life’s cycle has come to an end, and they’re going to heaven. May God bless everyone out there, that are going thru this now, and may you all find peace.❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️

Thank you so much Julie for normalizing the natural dying process. As a retired hospice nurse I can attest to witnessing this process many times over. It can be frightening to see but knowledge is power. Bless you for taking the time and having the courage to create these down to earth, thoughtful videos.

My wife and I are surprised that our parents are all alive. All 80’s and 90’s. This was great to see. Bless her and her family to allow this to be shared. Thanks to all.

Excellent video! We definitely need to be hearing more from deathcare workers rather than avoiding conversations about death. You’ve made this very approachable. Thanks to the family for allowing the video footage to be used.

I used to run a 20 bed hospice. This was a regular thing for most who lived and died there. It can definitely be uncomfortable for loved ones, but the patient is totally at peace if care is properly provided. Thank you for your work.
