What Dying Looks Like During the Final Weeks of Life

I think anyone who works in Hospice is an angel sent from God. They put aside their own issues to ease the pain of others. The woman who was with my dad was not quite as young, maybe in her 40's. We knew Dad was going to die that night and we all sat in the living room exchanging funny stories about him. This lovely lady sat in the kitchen for several hours just reading a book, she kept her head down unless we looked towards her, you could tell she was always ready to answer any questions and give comfort if needed. She was incredible in handling everything very discreetly and with dignity.

I might die in April i feel very tired emotionally and physically. However spiritually i am excited to meet my Lord.

My partner died of dementia in 2018 and I realize now I didn't give her enough love and attention that I should have done.If anyone is nursing a loved one with dementia make sure you give them lots of love or you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The dying generally doesn't want food/drink because their bodies can no longer process it, so should never be forced or cajoled into consuming something their body cannot handle. Instead, ice chips, moisten lips, etc. The body knows what to do. <3

seeing how my grandma changed while in hospice for terminal cancer was very striking - the way the body itself prepares for death all on its own, how her appearance shifted and changed. at least she was able to pass at home with her family around her 🙏

My mother and family is going through this now. I have been her caretaker since 2017 at my home. It is heart breaking. I don't want her to suffer but I don't want to lose her either.

Thank you. My son is at end of life and there is so many things going on. Sometimes it looks as if he will go in the next few days, but then ends up going on for another week or two. This is a very confusing, heartbreaking period in my life. Thank you for your informed video. It helps

Thank you for having people Like you.thx for sharing 😊

You are incredible. I could not do it as it would haunt me for my last days. Thank you for all you do xx

Thank you for this video! My father has been on hospice going on 2 years in a Veterans hospital in Wyoming. His absolute favorite snack is Oreos, in which I send a case of along with other snacks every few weeks. He's recently recovered from Covid & still munching on his Oreos that I send. His nurses even mix them up into a shake when he has a difficult time chewing. The nurses & doctors at the Veterans Home in Sheridan Wyoming are top notch !

I'm a home health aide and I'm so worried about my first experience with a patient dying. Training is great but I'm still anxious about how I'll handle it. This video helped me know what to expect.

What great job you girls have done. I sure this will help alot of people.

I don't fear my mortality but want to know more about the final stages. This little conversation helps loads, many thanks XX

End of life is the same as a leaf dying on the tree in late October. So natural

Hospice workers are angels on earth.

Wonderful and honest video

My pa is at the end of his life too. This has been very informative, thank you.

As someone fearing my own mortality I would like to say thank you for providing this information to the public. You are a blessing.

Thank you!

Awesome video girls !!
