As a hospice CHA i fully understand your feelings of your new newness. Dealing with patients is challenging enough but going thru what you’re going thru adds to it. Keep projects to occupy your time and prayer to protect your heart and mind. 🙏🏾

life’s complex. we’re trying our best

What was the name of what you took for the energy? I just love you!!

Mr? Smith?

Good on you. You're a good person. Always remember that

God bless you. Your job would kill me inside of a year.

one thing i learned.. aluminum foil takes off rust

Don’t ever judge someone’s feelings in a situation like this.

My grandpa came to visit me. I was swimming around 530AM and I felt a presence with me. No body told me that he died, but I found out that evening that he had passed shortly before that feeling.

Dangit, my eyes are leaking again

I have been a nurse for over a decade and have been able to have genuine compassion and empathy for everyone because someone has to do it and I love to be that kind of nurse. To see the good in everyone. I remind myself, for those difficult patients, that the human in front of me was born innocent and I hope they were truly loved by someone in life. I think the pandemic has hardened me a little though... because when it comes to crimes against children and women I have a hard time having any compassion or empathy for those mofo's who have committed such heinous acts. I am human too and I'm allowed to be repulsed by the evil that exists on earth. When you have children and are unfortunately overly aware of the variety of people out there with the potential to do harm, it's hard not to have more empathy for the victims of the criminals you are treating than the criminal themselves. Maybe I shouldn't watch so much ID.

Oh, I get it. Her parents are dead, too. So this is lesbian humor... Not really what I expected.

For a second I thought they were lesbians before he said “I’m a very lucky man”

I'm an agency in home lvn....been through so much....wish I could retire...but watching your videos makes me wonder if I still have something left to give...

when i lost somebody very important, all i could do was what i was "supposed to" i went to work. i went to school. i threw away all her meds. eventually i broke down when i ran out of things to do.

Thank you for sharing this story, it made me choke up. You made him happy the last days of his life.

You are a rare criature, beautiful in the outside and the inside🤔😀

I was a hospice nurse and witnessed this many times.

Why is it that people will come 1000 miles to bury someone, but won't come to see them and celebrate them while they are still alive? "Paying respects" my butt. Crocodile tears. Bleh.

Mom died of alzheimers, after an 8yr battle. My wife and I had the problem dumped on us (24/7) while my brother did nothing, and dad played golf 6days/week. When dad died this last year (spitting blood 👍) I screamed out in celebration while doing fist bumps. Sadly, he was still buried with my mom, his wife of 55+yrs, who he crapped on once she got sick. "I'm just not a caregiver, son", he said, driving away in his golf cart. Now, please god... if only you could provide the same "justice" for my brother.

I’m my moms caregiver and she has dementia. Her twin sister recently died from dementia complications. I’ve been preparing myself for years. I’m worried that I won’t know how to grieve and move on properly. She always tells me that I will because I know that I gave her my all and she appreciated every moment but wants me to go do the things she couldn’t. Anything else wouldn’t be honoring her memory or myself. So I will be fine. I love that she keeps me encouraged for the moment.

My sister in-laws father was seeing a little girl or boy, I can’t remember. He had a bad encounter with demonic beings, he said, “there was a terrible smell” I said, “was it like rotting flesh?” His eyes got huge and he said, “Yes!” I didn’t want to say anything else in front of my sister in-law and her mother. I pray he repented. My mom said, her father knocked on her hospital door and asked if he could come in. He was standing next to her but didn’t speak. My dad is under Hospice care now before he was put into a home, I went into the room and checked on him. He said, “God made a miracle for me, (speaking in Spanish). I said, “What daddy tell me!” “He is going to help me cross the road but not yet, we need to avail the time we have left.” Dad is 90, I’m going this evening to take him some clothes. I’m keeping a journal of my experiences, funny things he has said and things other patients have shared with me.

thats beautiful and props for making it a short video too. best of luck to you.

What do mean without meds, you just said you'd been giving meds

My Grandpa came to see me the night he died, then got a call very early the next morning from My absent Mother telling me he died the evening before, I couldn't understand at 17 what happened, my Foster Mom said he came to see me to say goodbye 😢😢

I had a patient tell me they regret eating junk food & fast food for over 25 years. They said they ate mc Donalds everyday for years. It caused them to have so many health issues. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, RA, fatty liver disease, psoriasis and the list goes on. Because of that i changed my diet completely. I no longer eat gluten, sugar, seed oils, or anything processed. I haven't had fast food in years now because of them. I do keto/organic carnivore diet. So eating mc Donald is definitely something i would regret down the road... just saying

My dad died at home. My mom spent about an hour with the body before the funeral home picked him up. That was her way of grieving. I was able to let go of my grief by doing my dads after care. He was clean and dressed when the funeral home came to pick up his body. My mom and my brother weren’t able to handle dealing with his body like that but for me it was one final thing that I could do for him. He had what you would call a good death. He never wanted to die in the hospital. He died peacefully in his sleep after slipping into a coma. He got his wish he died at home just as he wanted to.

My grandma is dying right now in the next few days probably and she keeps seeing a baby. We’re trying to figure out who the baby is.. apparently she lost a baby after my mom that no one knew about until my aunt told my family the other day but also my cousin and I are pregnant right now. Shes due this Friday and I am due in the beginning of October. Say a prayer for grandma please. I’m blessed to say that’s one of the last thing she said to me so I held her hands and prayed with her last time I saw her and she smiled at my kids and her doggy… bless everyone. ❤

That was one of the hardest stories in the book to read, but so beautiful. That book helped me cope with the loss of my grandfather. Thank you so much for your channel and your book.

Sounds like he shouldn't have been allowed to die at home or am I missing something? You shouldn't get to die in peace after what you said he did.

It’s beautiful! Way to go! You are enough!

Many are not aware that hospice care is available to all in the US. Please make sure your friends, family, community are aware.

It's a little different but my mom left unexpectedly and I had a visitation dream as her final goodbye

Also, sometimes people start grieving long before the loved one passes and they almost complete the process by that time, especially if it was something prolonged and terminal. It doesn’t mean they’re heartless but sometimes there are a lot of close calls and they do it as a way almost like self preservation, especially if they have children, because constantly going through that roller coaster would cripple them otherwise. We should never judge how someone grieves.

Good video....just lost my FIL and hospice was in charge. This is so accurate.

As an on call in the past, That was very very rare not to go out because hospice covers multiple counties, miles and miles and the pay is insulting!

If you are religious, you would think he is forgiven of his sins. If you aren't religious, you know you did your duty for yoru patient. And you helped his family that has nothing to do with his crimes.

I had a few patients who said they should have had more children.

My Gran Gran had dementia...my parents said 'be prepared..she wont recognise you'...i said nah... she'll know...she had the biggest smile on her face when i saw her and she said said my name 😢...i said..'told ya'....❤..love you Gran Gran...xo

WHAT is the pic of the patient .

I worked hospice, had a couple patients who’s pets came to get them. My cats are still here with me, but I hope they come get me when it’s my time to go. And I hope my husband’s childhood cat comes for him too. He loved that cat, she was born the same month he was

Big Virtual hugs and vibes, young lady. It is a terrible but important thing to deal with a terminal patient. It can be so upsetting yet at the same time be very supportive to those nearing end of life. Sadly, in the Armed forces, we get this far too many times. Stay strong, hug your children and animals, but most of all, be there for yourself and your family, whilst you help your patients try and fulfil their responsibilities 😊 too. You are one brave person who also deserves ❤️ credit and support for the job you do.

I’ve had several near death experiences. It’s such a wild thing to experience!

Hugs and prayers.

My mother said my dad came to get her. He was talking to her. She died the next day.

It's not normal to talk to a dead person. Once they're dead, they're gone. Don't suggest people talk to dead family members. That's creepy. Also if its late at night, its fine to call funeral home in the morning if people want to sleep. No one is there any longer. There's no hurry except to sheild a family member from having to deal with the dead body to help preserve living memories, which might be helpful.

Thank you for explaining your job so well. As a RN for close to 40 years it is so nice to hear you love your profession so many don’t understand how emotionally exhausting it can be. Please take care of yourself

I don’t fear death ! I believe totally I will be with Jesus . I will die at home like my mom did !

I was sort of like that when my mom died. I’ve never been comfortable showing a lot of emotion in front of people so I flat refused to visibly grieve until I was alone. It was what I was most comfortable with.

I seen this a lot
