Nurses, what were the most haunting last words you've heard from a patient?

[@nekomataumbreon]

It wasn't anything that was said, nor am I a doctor, but when my cat was dying, she was curling up in a way she had only curled around her kittens. With the way she acted, it was almost as though she had forgotten that her two remaining children were adults. The look of shock and panic on her face right before she died will always stick with me.

[@haiwin224]

The most encouraging last words I heard were relayed at my Grandfather's funeral. My grandfather had multiple differing coronary/circulatory issues until he passed. On the night he died he realized something was wrong when he couldn't get out of his recliner. My grandma called EMS like they had done about a half a dozen times before. This time though it was too late. Before the first responders and firefighters pulled up my grandfather turned to my grandmother and uncle and said "They're telling me I can't live anymore". My uncle and grandmother were the only people in the room and emergency services were still being dispatched. They asked my grandfather who is telling him that. He said "everyone is telling me that. I'm sorry I have to go." He made that last statement and lost consciousness. The police (small town and the cops are always getting to scenes first since they're on the clock), first responders/firemen (volunteers), and medics (professional paramedics) tried as hard as they could to resuscitate but nothing worked. I've always been somewhat skeptical of religion and the afterlife. Right up until my uncle told me that story. I believe my grandfather saw what was waiting for him when he passed. He was on that threshold between life and death or the bridge between this life in the next or whatever you want to call it. He looked at what waited and he saw everyone he loved that had gone before waiting on the other bank. I believe that there will be something after this life. When my time comes I am sure he'll be with everyone waiting for me to keep that last appointment.

[@nicolad8822]

It’s quite common that nearing death people see or hear deceased loved ones. My mother in law had a few episodes of this before she actually died. She sat in her chair and raised her arms, then seem to come back to herself.

a few of these stories reminded me of my grandma. She was suffering with cancer and sadly passed away on the 26th of December a few years back, despite the doctors saying she's getting better just the day before. I believe that she pushed through so she wouldn't pass on on Christmas and would instead pass on on Saint Steven, which was the name of her late husband.

He was dying (don’t remember what from) and on hospice. He had been bedridden for a week or two at that point. All of a sudden, he stood up and said, “Lord, if you want to take me, I’m ready.” He then fell back into the bed and died.

Nurse in UK. I was working in a small “cottage hospital” caring for elderly patients undergoing rehab before going home. One night while I did the bedtime medicine round, one man said to me, “I don’t need those, I’ll be dead by the morning.” I made light of it, because I was young & inexperienced & didn’t believe him. He seemed fine during regular rounds overnight, but on switching the lights on in the morning he was indeed (recently) dead. I wished that I had asked him for any messages for his relatives.

[@herstoryanimated]

When the nurse said he hadn't really even remembered the little boy who said he was his favourite. I just want to say that that's ok! As a nurse you have to separate yourself mentally from becoming too overly attached/too involved in cases or you will emotionally burn out. It doesn't mean you are a bad nurse, or aren't treating patients with empathy and compassion. You are just protecting yourself, if you didn't you would lose your mind.

[@GramCracker77]

Well apparently the guy treated all of his patients very well!

I'm really touched how wonderful these health care workers are. My father and mother have been in the field their entire professional lives. It makes my heart swell with pride knowing they work in this field and have been there for patients in times like these. If you are a health care worker, please remember you are seeing these patients in some of their weakest moments. They may sound personal, but it isn't personal. They're grateful for you, even if they don't know it.

Story 4. As a nurse myself, this is exactly what I say. I tell the patient “It’s ok, everybody will understand and be ok. It’s ok to go.” I can’t even begin to count how many times in my 15 years I’ve held the hand of somebody that passes away. I have spent hours of the night sitting with patients so their families could get some much needed sleep, and have been with many when they draw their last breath. I always make sure to reassure them that they can go. It’s one of the most heartbreaking parts of the job, but the comfort that you can bring them in their final moments is also very rewarding. Nobody should die alone, and this is one thing that I make sure to tell new staff, students, and families to reassure them that their loved one will not be alone.

It's.. not haunting at all, but as my mother was being wheeled away to have a blood clot from what would ultimately be a fatal stroke removed from her brain, I called out to her that I loved her, and the last thing she ever said was "I love you too, stay strong!" She fell into a coma the next day, she was expected to die 1-2 days later. That stubborn old bat toughed it out for 9 days, she clearly didn't want to die on her birthday, or mine, which would have been the next day, and the day before she died, respectively. I can only hope I'll be as stubborn as she was when it's time for me to go.

I will remember this phone call forever. Made from the hospital, my grandmother called my mom to tell us my great-grandfather passed away. He was 90. I couldn’t hear the other end but I immediately knew what had happened. “Yeah? Oh my god- oh no. He was a really nice man. Yeah. Oh my god. Alright, bye” That was my mom standing right next to me. She ran upstairs crying. I followed her, we hugged it out for a straight 5 minutes without moving, both of us crying. My great-grandfather was in the hospital recovering from a fall he had in his kitchen. He was in perfect health 3 days before he died but suddenly one day he went to sleep and never woke up. He was unconscious for 2 days if I remember correctly. My grandmother and her siblings were standing next to his stretcher and watched his final breath. I still tear up 3 years later remembering the last time I visited, the summer the same year he passed.

We talked and laughed and when I left I told her I loved her SO MUCH and I'd be back soon. She died three days later. I was told she had barely spoken at all before I came.

My late mother was a nurse who worked most of her career in long-term care homes (nursing homes). She heard lots of strange stuff that she related to me. Not haunting words or stories, because my mom often told her work stories in a way that made work sound hilarious. I always found her workplace to be depressing, BTW. Anyway, she told me that they had one female patient who moaned every night for something like 2 years, "I'm dying, OMG, I'm dying!" For hours on end, until she fell asleep, but it kept the other patients awake, she was so loud. My mom said she wasn't sick enough to die, she was just old and overly dramatic. Then my mom called me one day, and said, "Guess what? Last night, she was finally right!" And those *were* her last words, apparently, "I'm dying."

The looking better all of a sudden is called the surge. Patients suddenly start looking better and it tends to give families false hope. If they keep recovering this isn't the surge.

My parents were married for 64 years, most of them with my Dad in the pulpit as a Minister; he passed about a month after their last Anniversary. Ten months later, about a month before the date of their next anniversary rolled around, my mother was admitted to hospital and it was discovered that all we could do was comfort care. My sister, hubby, and myself stayed almost three weeks with her 24/7 with my grown children coming each day to spell us off a bit. One night, just after my sister stepped out to make a cup of tea, my mother - who had been unintelligible since the breathing tube was pulled - looked over my shoulder and clearly and brightly declared “Oh look, there’s your father”. Considering Dad had passed 11.5 months before, but knowing he had ALWAYS made a point to be with parishioners when they crossed, the possibility seemed all too real in my mind! Being the chicken that I am, however, I chose to not turn my head and just said, “Well of course, Ma. Where else would he be?” She smiled, laid her head back down, and passed away. To this day, I kinda regret not turning around!

2:06 I know exactly what this nurse means. My beloved budgie sky was losing a battle to some unidentified sickness and the vets were closed for the weekend (anyone who's ever kept birds knows that they hide their sicknesses very well until right at the last minute, where they don't have the energy to pretend anymore). The night before she wanted to come out of her cage to say hi. When she did, her beak and feet were cold. I knew she must have been very, very sick. I chatted with her for a bit, got her a new hot water bottle to try and help her stay warm, and so she didn't exhaust herself put her back in her cage to try and get enough rest to visit the vets tomorrow. She just looked at me gently, I know she wanted to stay out here with me but I also know she needed to rest. The following morning I was woken up to the sound of frantic scrabbling on the cage floor; the sound she often made to get my attention when she wanted to hang out. I rushed over and there she was sprawled out on the floor, kicking with her feet and beak to make as much noise as possible. As soon as I scooped her up (she was too weak to stand) she calmed down, I spoke to her softly through my sobs, and within a couple minutes she was gone. Its strange how people can hold off death sometimes until they've said goodbye, until they know its okay to go, but I've seen it myself and I know that it's true. She was the sweetest most loving little girl, I'm so glad I got to say goodbye.

Hate the changing backround. Hurts my eyes.

4:00 i laughed out loud. He/she just decided "if she isn't with me, then i wont be either!" Best story out of all of these. Edit: best story out of this video**

[@anatavi7]

I’m a hospice nurse and the most intense thing anyone has said before dying was “I killed him. My husband went to jail for it, but I killed him.” No further information given.

My 17 year old friend was getting drunk with a 13 year old friend. 17 year old had a gun collection. Grabbed a shotgun off the wall, put it under his chin laughing and said "See ya later" and pulled the trigger....................Never bothered to check it first...They found some of his teeth in the ceiling and his chin in the corner. 13 year old told me he slept with the lights on for 3 months. He died 10 years later from a drug overdose...

[@airconditionedBreeze]

Holy fuck. That has to be the most traumatic shit to ever see for a 13 year old. I would not recover from that man

[@The93Momo93]

damn that's wild

[@SquaabStudios]

That 'guy in the corner' one is more common than you'd think. Very ill people tend to make out human shapes out of nearly anything, like when you were a kid and thought the dressing gown was a monster.

Hate the background constant motion, makes you feel sick

[@snarwhal2408]

I’m sorry but story 6 had impeccable comedic timing

[@debbylou5729]

A long time ago the Russians did some experimentation, more like monitored visually and with available machinery. Upon death every patient lost a few ounces (feel free to substitute grams or whatever they use). It was based on speculation of the soul. I had a little springer spaniel that a visiting 13 year old bully kicked in the stomach. The vet said he had ruptured her bowels and had to be put to sleep. I stayed with her with my hands on her side and neck. I actually felt something through my hands as she left. Sounds crazy, I’m not. It was nothing I had never felt before…. I couldn’t have made the feeling up. It was like a light buzzing, but not that harsh feeling of electricity. Imagine the feeling a bit more than a feather.

My Dalmatian died at 15. She was in her basket and had previously come said goodbye. I knew she was dying so did she. When she was sleeping in her basket I told her I had to go to the bathroom and wheeled myself up the ramp( in wheelchair). She immediately watched me go until I was out of sight then went to sleep. A small orb then appeared followed by another near the edge of her basket. They spun around with joy and took off and disappeared. When I came back she had passed away, I saw the orbs on the ring camera and I knew she had some one collect her. A small little dog who passed away years before who was her best friend perhaps. But two orbs it was. Her name was Angel and I still miss her.

[@GramCracker77]

That's incredible ❤

Can’t watch the background,

[@owlsbane]

My mom was in heart failure and all of a sudden she's feeling great all signs of illness gone. They sent her home Christmas eve she just wasn't feeling right. They ended up turning off her pace maker and she died that night. She had gone through what they call the surge.

[@lestariabadi]

If the game playback in the background be half as fast, it would be more comfortable for watching.

by story 4 i was in tears

Story 13 - The man that died due to their tube not remaining stable is so…💔it’s just…😢… I first wanted to ask WHY something so vital would be left unmonitored for so long, if it was how the tube itself was monitored and/or missed patient history. Also, why people blamed the man without more information who may have inadvertently fidgeted with the tube due to nerves, hello, and/or may have been suppressing anxiety/fear to appear amiable and collected so as not to worry those he was with or give into his own fear/nerves, or may not have realized the full importance of the tube’s function until it was too late, their function being explained in a way as to not “cause him undue stress” or thought of as being “kind”, because all of these things and more happen, -BUT THEN- I remembered, details are missing, and more importantly, people are just that, people. We’re human, and humans are not typically prone to mind reading 🧠 or fortune telling🔮, and life is often unpredictable and unfair. It’s why we tell our loved ones where we’re going and when we’re coming home, and why when one person is allowed an extra cookie at snack time, everybody else expects and rightfully deserves the same treatment, whether you’re 5yo or 55yo. But I also remembered that life sometimes includes bad things happening when no one is to blame at all, and these may be the most difficult parts of life for all of us as they demand acceptance in order to heal, anything else either stops the wound from worsening, or worsens the wound entirely. There are no other options.

It really bothers me about the tube. I’ve seen patients meddle with tubes, pull them out, take off oxygen and more. It’s usually confusion that causes the problem. I have seen patients in restraints remove vital tubes as well and you can’t stand over every patient your whole shift to guard them. I have had a patient who smoked ask for a cigarette with his last breath. I have been a hospice nurse, a hospital nurse, home health nurse, school nurse, and office nurse. It’s heartbreaking when you’ve done everything possible and the patient dies anyway. Some patients you never forget…❤

My last words will probably be “I shouldn’t have drank that orange flavored Kool Aid”

In the first 30+ second i was sad about the grandpa and then the discord announcement comes in my day is ruin and im disappointed u could have just mentioned the discord in the end

[@tamarasanders6538]

I like your stories but the video game graphics are so annoying and make me sick to my stomach from dizziness.

[@kathyschaefer5768]

for story 10 what your father saw was the Grim Reaper patiently waiting for him to pass

[@Rosanna-df1yu]

Story 15 reminds me of my rabbit. He hated the medicine he was given and died the day before he was to go back to the vets. He was quite old for a rabbit (8 and a half) so it's almost like he knew his fate 😢🐇🕊

[@Tuna_the_shark]

These stories made me sad😢
