Julie McFadden is a hospice nurse who has witnessed a lot of de:aths throughout her life. Very often, she speaks of the reality of dying in an attempt to help people understand the process of leaving this world through the behaviors seen in those nearing d:eath.
It is her mission to “alleviate the fear and stigma around de:ath.”
She has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families navigate the final stages of life. Apart from her professional work, Julie has authored a book and built a significant social media presence. She’s focusing on themes of death and dying.
In the videos she posts on the social media, she shares insights of the last moments of life of her patients – from their last words and their biggest regrets, to certain behaviors they display.
Speaking of some of the most disturbing moments the loved ones of the dying person experience are the changes in breathing at the person who is about to live the world.
This is known as Cheyne–Stokes breathing, happening because of metabolic changes in the body.
These changes are normal, and even if they happen, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the patient is suffering. Still, their loved ones understand it as a suffering and most of them say it’s something they “wished they would have known about.”
“You can see that chest rapidly breathing, and then a long pause […] and then rapid breathing again,” she explained.
Another of the behaviors seen in those nearing de:ath, as explained by Julie is the “de:ath rattle.”
This happens when the mouth creates saliva but the brain doesn’t communicate to the body to teel it to swallow it, leading to a strange gurgling noise.
