Two Minutes on Pallor Mortis

[@Melboo08WeightLoss]

When I worked in a nursing home I unfortunately witnessed the death experience quiet often and more times then I can count. In some of our patients their dark brown eyes began turning blue shortly before death. I always knew that after that happened that death was near.

[@TinaLouise73]

Wow for real?! Like babies are born with blue eyes? It reverses at death? My theory is we go thru a "recycling" process and as u die ur energy transfers into a new life elsewhere! Kind of like reincarnation like a butterfly metamorohisizes!

[@thinkcorrectly407]

I noticed this on my dad after he passed at home, a thin film on his usually brown eyes, made them appear blue, thanks for the explanation.

[@chrisj197438]

I was already happy that today is my last day at work before vacation and the notification that you made a new video made me even happier!!!!🙂

I so enjoy your videos, Kari. They are informative and interesting. If I am unable to return to my nursing career in obstetrics, I will seriously consider the funeral industry. The two big transitions in our lives, birth and death, have always been fascinating to me.

[@gordenwood7853]

LisaBC No offense but that is the job that'll never go out of business..

[@rosannadana2922]

LisaBC My RN friend is Licensed Mortician. Her husband when he finished his apprenticeship, she joined him and its one of best family business.

[@HeyThereItsLara]

Thank you for your videos, Kari. They are so informative and you have inspired me to pursue mortuary school after I complete my undergrad.

[@stevetaylor5046]

Another very interesting video. Thanks Kari!

[@garysansone2785]

Hi Kari:) hey don't know if you covered this yet....could you do. A 2 minute maybe on the subject of Pallbearers......who they are and what they do and the importance of their role during the funeral service......I've been one for about a dozen or so funerals.....always an honor:) thanks....btw heaviest casket I carried was a beautiful bronze casket with swingbars....that casket was heavy....

[@donpidgeon1213]

Thanks kari for sharing i really enjoy you're videos

[@ldswife5339]

Love your videos!! Absolutely fascinating stuff

[@Buzzkut37]

Very educational, I never heard of Pallor Mortis. Thank u

[@heidivalles3373]

Hi Kari! I have never seen a person die but my mom has and she says that the film you talk about starts to show a little before they actually die. Very good explanation... I am starting to show her your videos... Very educational!

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you!

[@margaretlove2074]

What is the film over the eyes made up of?

[@laurajohnson1165]

I'm an old nurse 😄😄. I've seen lot's. Of death but , when my husband died , it seemed like his body looked like it was made out of wax. I had never noticed that before ; I mean immediately after death. Maybe , because of the close connection, I was just more observant. Your thoughts. Thank you.

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

Thanks Kari, very interesting, as always! : )

[@Leeh123]

How does it affect the eyes of being donors? I have three amazing gifts

[@patriciacurnutt7669]

Is that what causes wrinkles on the face.as my dad was dying he looked younger. No wrinkles at all

[@garysansone2785]

Thanks Kari:) something new learned:)

[@cheriecarpenter3529]

I love your videos❤️❤️

[@beth6mike9]

Would you do an open-eye viewing if requested (and after you explain what the eyes will look like)?

[@richcarnaggio1525]

Nice presentation

[@richcarnaggio1525]

Kari Northey your very welcome how are you doing. Do you have your own funeral home or do you work for a corporation

[@susancaroline927]

I was with my grandmother as she died. This process of pallor Morris actually started before her heart stopped beating. It began first in her feet and then became noticeable in her hands. Is that the same thing or another process?

[@susancaroline927]

Kari Northey thank you for telling me this. The information I had about it beginning shortly before she died came from her hospice nurse. I’m not speaking down about that nurse, I just like to have correct information for myself.

[@joncampos8843]

🎶and don’t it make my brown eyes blue

[@gordenwood7853]

Jon Campos I love that singer crystal gail.

[@bettyb8739]

Interesting. Thank you.

[@cottonstarcrimescene]

Kari, can you tell me when exactly may a body void urine upon death? 1 minute? 5? 15? Thank you.

[@robbierobinson6839]

How does the film or cloudiness of the eyes occur?

[@rishelschimmel7358]

Very interesting stuff.

[@MosaicRose99]

I have heard a couple of people say when their loved ones died, their faces turned grey. I guess that is pallor mortis?

[@KamrinTheKapricornASMR]

I have never heard of this term so thanks for teaching me something new today 😊

[@rosannadana2922]

Another question...The covering of the cornea. .With Donor Harvesting. Ive been in a few, does that happen with artificial ventilation? and with cornea removal? Thanks..

[@rosannadana2922]

I might say...Looked into many eyes....You know when you look in eye after death the peace, but Ive seen shear terror that makes me wonder......Do you look at eyes like that?

[@rosannadana2922]

Looks like lot of us Nurses watch you. Been involved in many many deaths of all kinds. As a person is dying we can tell by the mottling of their toes, feet, gradually working its way, lower legs...Will see early mottling back, etc...Is this considered pre Pallor Mortis? Weve only defined in clinical terms, but is there another name by chance?

[@mairaaljn11]

How long does this stage last before it turns blue(?) or something else happens? Or does the body stay pale?

[@MikeMercury]

have you ever been scared doing your job

[@rosannadana2922]

Kari Northey ....Like what.... Curious...

[@rosannadana2922]

Kari Northey ...Something in different terms, but educational no doubt...I cant recall if ever knowing the term, just what we always termed it in settings..

[@reids97]

Interesting. Do most people die with their eyes open.

[@gordenwood7853]

Bobbi's vsg journey Yes they do sometimes my aunt she died with her eyes open after her saying good bye and my mother she did as well she died with her eyes open but within a few seconds her eyes will roll back.

[@mimis-girls7935]

How do we ask you questions? I would like to know about the “cuddle cot “...I just recently heard about it and wanted to know what you thought about it? Love your videos

[@laurajohnson1165]

What is a cuddle cot used for ?

[@garysansone2785]

Kari Northey God bless those parents and those little angels +

[@mimis-girls7935]

👍👍

[@larryulery3729]

So pollormoris is the whitening of the skin. If in a cold climate will that process be slowed down. It sounds like you had to take a lot of anatomy.

[@albertconstantine5432]

The best of its kind on youtube. Thank you. But how does pallor mortis appear for people with darker skin? Thank you.

[@albertconstantine5432]

Thank you. You're great.

[@daisykyo1]

This is great information!

[@daisykyo1]

Kari Northey, you are very welcome!

[@cornbread1955]

👍👍👍😎☕

[@jeanaesamuel47]

I love video❤❤❤

[@KaritheMortician]

:)

[@jess4metoo]

I’ve always wished I’d been born with blue eyes. I get my wish one day! LOL

[@faithinhumanity3390]

I hate having naturally blue and green eyes I always wear my hazel contacts lol . I have major sensitivity to light

[@fredhill3565]

Is this the same as liver mortis?

[@fredhill3565]

Kari Northey thought so. Livor Mortis happens around two hours after death. The blood start to pool in the body where you see the purple on the back of the arms, legs and body. If I remember right Rigor Mortis happens around 8 hours after death but there are reasons that it would happen sooner. Is this correct?

[@fredhill3565]

Kari Northey I heard also phyical activity will being it on soon?

[@Randys4g]

How I look when I first wake up in the morning 😣

[@deskennett4808]

Interesting thank you

[@gordenwood7853]

The dead person's skin will start to look pasty and also the lips depending on skin color like my dad's skin he's white but got that Blackfoot Indian skin color his lips turn dark purple not blue..

[@garysansone2785]

Gorden Wood hello....dad's back was completely purple....one of the strangest things I ever saw....he was 88 ....
