She wants everyone to know so they’re not shocked …. Read full story in comment
Julie McFadden, a hospice nurse and author, shares her experiences with death to reduce fear and stigma around it. Through social media, she offers insights into the final moments of life, from last words to common behaviors.
She explains signs like Cheyne–Stokes breathing—rapid breaths followed by pauses—and the “death rattle,” a gurgling sound caused by saliva buildup. While unsettling to witness, Julie reassures that these are natural, painless parts of the dying process, and the body knows how to shut down peacefully.
