A dying carer has told the “most comforting” story about what happens to patients before they die.

Witnessing the final weeks or days of a loved one is one of the most terrifying experiences a family can go through.

It is a time of reflection but also excitement.

But a nurse who works with these patients every day shared something that can be a “comfort” for their relatives who are going through this difficult time.

One viewer even said that after watching her video, he was “no longer afraid of death.”

In the clip, she explained: “The craziest thing we see in hospice is that most people start talking about or seeing dead relatives, deceased loved ones, deceased friends, dead pets before they die.”

However, the nurse said that this did not actually happen in the days before her death.

She added: “And it’s not just before they die, it’s usually about a month before they die.

“They are usually very alert and oriented, they do not suffer from oxygen deprivation and do not take any medication that could confuse them.

“You are clearly talking to or seeing someone who has already died.”

And the most bizarre thing is that the hospice staff has no idea why this is happening.

Julie said: “We are not claiming that they actually see these people, we have no idea.

“But all I can tell you as a health professional who has worked in this field for a very long time is that this happens all the time.”

And while this can be very comforting for some family members, it can also be equally disturbing or confusing for others.

But Julie made sure to support the family members who are there during the patient’s “visions.”

She said: “We educate the family on this issue before it happens so that they are not incredibly distressed when it does happen.”

In the comments, people shared their experiences.

One said: “My mother-in-law told her sister that her mother was packing a suitcase for her trip and had picked out a dress for her.”

Another said: “I love the idea of ​​being old and seeing my mother again and her taking me to the afterlife like she took me to this one.”
