Hospice Nurse Reveals Two Comforting Facts About the Dying Process

A hospice nurse has shared two comforting insights into the process of death, aiming to alleviate fears surrounding end-of-life experiences. According to Hospice Nurse Julie, a registered nurse and New York Times best-selling author, the human body possesses inherent mechanisms designed to facilitate a peaceful transition. "The body is built to die," Nurse Julie stated, explaining that as death approaches, the brain naturally suppresses hunger and thirst, preventing discomfort. She added that the body also increases calcium levels, leading to increased tiredness, and releases endorphins, which dull pain and induce a sense of well-being. In addition to these physiological processes, Nurse Julie highlighted a phenomenon frequently observed by hospice professionals: individuals nearing death often begin to see deceased relatives, loved ones, or even old pets. "They usually come, bring them comforting messages, and bring the person dying a lot, a lot of comfort," she explained. While the exact reason for these visions remains unexplained, their common occurrence leads hospice staff to inform families, preparing them for such interactions and the comfort they bring to patients.
