Death is a natural part of life, yet it remains shrouded in mystery and fear. A hospice nurse, Julie McFadden, has dedicated her career to educating people on the dying process, aiming to dispel the stigma surrounding death.
With over 15 years of experience in intensive care and hospice, McFadden has witnessed numerous deaths and has shared her insights through social media and her book. Her mission is to prepare families for the final moments of life and alleviate their fears.
McFadden highlights two common yet disturbing symptoms that occur as someone nears the end: changes in breathing and the infamous “death rattle.” She explains that these phenomena are natural parts of the dying process and do not cause suffering.
