Why I don't fear death (and you shouldn't either) 

The last words my dad said to me were” Oh Sandy…….it’s SO beautiful” I can still hear him 26 years later💙

I don’t fear dying. I just fear suffering miserably right before I die.

I am 74, I sure hope that when my time comes that there is someone like you there. You are a treasure.

I don't fear death, I fear the process.

I dont fear death...I fear leaving my children behind in this crazy world once I'm gone

Hospice caregivers are truly ANGELS!! Thank you!

My mother's last coherent words before she would die a few days later, were "Everyone is here!". She smiled consistently til the end.

When my grandmother was about to die, she said the gates of Heaven are beautiful beyond description.

I don't fear death. I fear a prolonged illness that turns me into a burden on my family.

Thank you Julie for these videos. As a person who has about 2 more months to live, I will MAKE SURE that I know. God is love and I want to make sure He knows me. 😄

Working as a critical care flight nurse, one the patient we were transporting was dying. She was an elderly female. She opened her eyes and had a big smile on her face and asked me "Do you see them?" I said what do you see? and she looked around still with this beautiful smile and said, "All the angels around us" I was amazed and truly believed her. She looked so peaceful and accepting what was happening to her. Meanwhile we are at 3,000 ' I admit, I felt her peace. When you fly in a helicopter it can be noisy in the cab. But it seemed to silence the sounds and I felt like I was being hugged by those angels. She definitely felt the same way. It's one transport I will never forget. Even thinking about it gives me peace.

As a hospital pharmacist, I can truly appreciate all of the mental, emotional, and physical demands placed on hospice care colleagues. Thank you for fulfilling the difficult role of end-of-life patient care. ❤

Our 34 year old son died 16 months ago after struggling with depression and addiction since his teens. We did everything possible to help Alex. I pray that Julie is right.

I suffered from mental illness most of my life. Not long after my Dad passed I found myself at the end of my rope. I was cycling through mania and depression and drinking heavily. I even attempted suicide. One afternoon I passed out on my bed and had a dream that changed my life. In it my Dad came to me and said in the most gentle way "I've come to take you home". It was strange because I had never dreamed about him before. After years of trying to prove I was okay I gave up my home, my job, everything. I came home and found the help I needed. That was 20 years ago and now I'm living my best life. I don't tell many people about it. In life my Dad and I had a strained relationship it's amazing that after his death he saved me. It makes me not fear death because I know it's not the end.

Nurse Julie!! My neighbor died in hospice. The day she left I asked her if she would try to let me know what it was like. She told me she would and she would also visit her grandson George. The next morning I was planting a tree and she was hovering above it in her little blue nightgown, she was so happy as she imparted her joy to me and telepathically said "this is good." George came over later that day. He said "you are the only person that will believe me but Nan came to me today in her little blue nightgown. " I told him that she visited me too and.......we hugged forever and cried such tears of joy and love for my dear friend and George's sweet Nan. ❤

The heartwarming service this video is providing to so many in desperate need of such a message is near Biblical in proportion.

My father died suddenly from a heart attack in 1978. Everyone was in shock. That night I heard his voice clearly say I’m alright take care of your mother. My mother died in 2021. The hospital called me to tell me. As I hung up the phone I clearly heard her voice saying I’m alright I am with dad and we are at peace. I saw them both in my minds eye sitting by their favorite lake shoreline. I’m at peace with them and death.

I don’t fear death. I fear suffering.

My mother lived for six weeks after her stage four lung cancer diagnosis. She passed away at home under hospice care with her four children, two grandchildren and two nephews by her bedside. She lived with us for 15 years till she passed, and loved sitting out on the patio near a jasmine bush because she enjoyed the smell of the flowers. After her funeral in another city, when we got back home, there was a strong smell of the flowers in the house even though there no flowers in the house. Left us with a tingling feeling and a sense of comfort that she was in a good place.

Dear Julie, My beloved brother, my twin soul and best friend, passed away on April 26, 2024 leaving me with a shattered heart. I appreciate this video more than I can express as it has given me a modicum of peace. This is the kind of death I hope my brother experienced, as over a thousand miles separated us when he passed. Thank you again, Julie. I deeply honor your special calling as a hospice nurse.

I can SO relate. when my sister passed away in August of 2022, I felt the same assurance. My husband of 35 years and I were climbing a large mountain in the dark, pulling a camper...it felt like slow motion. I had just lost my sister a few hours before. As we ascended this large hill, the BIGGEST, BRIGHTEST shooting star flew across the sky. We both saw it and both burst into tears. With that flash we both heard her say she was OK, and that the other side was amazing. Epic. Lots of people made comments like "lots of shooting stars that time of year" etc,trying to diminish what we experienced. Truly epic. It was NOT just a shooting star.❤💦

I fear disability and pain, not death.

My father passed and was revived, he Said God waved his hand and was pushed back because of there is more life to live on earth. Dad said it's the most peaceful experience in his 75 year life !! My dad said he was kind of disappointed to be back here, but was definitely going back to God when the time comes. He lasted another 10 years as his body wore out.!! RIP DAD!! LOVE U HAPPY FATHER'S DAY EVERYDAY SEE YOU AGAIN.!! YOU'RE # 2 SON RICKY.!!😢

My dad died when I was 18. He came to me a few days later and sat next to me. I wasn't afraid and he talked to me telepathically about how wonderful it was and the secret to everything was love. I sometimes want to tell myself it didn't happen but the memory never faded. He touched me at the end and showed me a glimpse

Hi Julie, I have stage 4 breast cancer. Recurrence after 7 yrs, came back in my lungs and bones this time. Diagnosed Aug 23. I'm on targeted therapy which is keeping me stable for now. I find your videos very comforting, been a widow for 5 yrs and I asked my husband on his death bed to come and get me when it's my time. I have asked to pass in hospice not at home, feel it's less messy lol. I am living my best life at the mo, social life has never been better. As I'm from the UK we don't have to worry about the cost of hospice care either.love from Devon uk🇬🇧❤️

“I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.” ~Woody Allen

As a hospice music therapist I had the privilege of treating a patient who left me a beautiful gift. Mr. R was lingering. He would say to me, “I don’t know why God hasn’t taken me yet.” We’d laugh about it together. We’d say our goodbyes, and the next week, there he was. I’d say, “Wait a minute, we said goodbye twice already!” He was so weak, but still he’d smile and laugh. One of my visits he told me that when he slept, the angels let him see where he was headed. He told me there aren’t words to describe it, that it was similar to here but beautiful. He spoke urgently and said, “God sent me back to tell everyone…we have to LOVE EACH OTHER. It’s more important than anything else. LOVE each other.” I don’t fear death, either. ❤

It’s perfectly normal for people to fear going to a place they have never been before. If you have never been in an airplane trip and to a strangely new place, it’s okay to be fearful. Once the trip begins, the trip becomes comfortable. We are all just passing through.

I understand exactly what you are describing when you said you heard that gentleman's voice in your head. When my 21 year old son died, there were many, many days and nights I cried and cried and cried. One night, I was sitting at my kitchen table...just bawling... and almost could "feel" a hand on my shoulder and then "heard" my son who passed on say, almost sternly, "MOM, IT'S ALRIGHT!". I quickly turned around thinking he was behind me, that is how real it was. This has always stayed with me and the realness of it made me 100% believe he used all his spiritual energy to communicate with me. I needed that so desperately and it has helped me so much these past 22 years since his death. 💞 Reuniting with loved ones is also helpful to not fear death.

My son Michael died from Oesophageal cancer aged 36 in Trinity Hospice London UK. 8th September 2018. His care was above and beyond anything I could have wished for. A month or two before Michael died and before he went to the hospice he bought two budgies! Just because he could.. he named them Swift and Bold, after his Green Jackets motto ( he served in the British Army ) The hospice actually allowed him to have the birds in his room and he cared for them until he no longer could.. Whilst he slept the birds twittered and did whatever budgies do. He went into eternal sleep on 6th September ( his sisters birthday ) and died two days later. He never regained consciousness. Before he died I whispered in his ear that he was about to go on an amazing journey and I was saying goodbye. I hope he heard me 💔

Having worked as a Nurse in Hospice, we KNOW that death is nothing to fear. We see death often and the peace often achieved prior to death, and seeing dying people respond to and reach out for others we can't see, but are spirit come to accompany the person into the next realm. I have zero fear of death. 😊 Thanks Julie for the education you provide to so many, so that they won't be in any fear. 🙏

OMG... You will never know how powerful this video is. After 26 years in healthcare, like you, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. A Hospice nurse reigns supreme IMO as Angels among us! Your smile alone conveys the joy and heartfelt compassion you have in your line of work. Nurses are truly undervalued. You are the front-line in healthcare!...GOD bless you and, thank you for sharing this video. Love, smiles and gratitude to you

My late mother died of cancer in 2014, after several months of being in hospital. The last few weeks before her death we brought her home where me and my daughter looked after her, as well as my father who'd had a suffered strokes before hand. The aftemath of those stokes, left my father unable to say much, which was difficult to see because he was always had a great sense of humour and always something to say. Well, the week before my mother died, she had to be admitted to the hospital again because her health was deteriorating, it was a Wednesday, i remember it well. The next day, after my mum was admitted, 12 hrs later, my father took a heart attack and he was also admitted to the same hospital. He was in ICU, and we all gathered around his bed, he was like his old self again, laughing and joking. We couldn't believe it. My father told me to tell my mum that he loved her. We all as a family, took turns to visit them both, every day, twice a day. A week later to the very day, my mother died, and 12 hrs later my dad passed too, he'd died of a heart attack. You see, my mother used to say that she'd go before my dad, well before she ever became ill, my dad used to chime in that he'd be going with her, it was a bit of banter between them both, which they'd been saying for years. I believe my mother came for my dad, and they went together. I miss them both, we all do. That's the comfort we are left with after both their passing. Love and blessings to you all, from Ireland 🍀🍀

I'm from a Christian family, and my dad had cancer and was only 6 weeks away from dying of it, when we all found out he had it. He died in hospice and a couple of hours after he died, (he was a caretaker and groundskeeper at 2 churches), my sister heard him saying to her, "you should see the flowers up here. The colors are so bright." We believe he's in heaven.

No fear here. I’ve witnessed the end of life for every family member, my sweet partner, many friends. My life is lived fully conscious my end is coming with no denial and I’m living a bold life that scares the hell out of most. Grateful to have been there for many when they needed me and no one else showed up 🙏🏼

I am an 80-year-old man in very poor health. I don't fear death it may be a blessing for me. However, I worry about leaving my wife to cope after my death. She is not a practical lady, I have always dealt with the practical issues around our home. I pay all the bills and deal with all the repairs and she has never had to do these things. She is a wonderful homekeeper but she has never had to deal with practical matters, she leaves that to me. She can not use a computer and just will not learn how to. The problem there is nearly everything is now done on a computer. She is not a big spender and leaves savings and investments to me. I guess I will just have to stay alive until she's gone, God bless her.

I ABSOLUTElY LOVE that story.!! My DADDY died at 36 years old, I was 10…… He came to me in my bedroom to say goodbye! I woke up to a lot of my MOMs friends in the house and I knew before they told me that he died! ❤❤❤

One of the last things my dad said to my mom was, "I wish you could see all these colors." I know he was seeing heaven, and I'm so glad he was able to share it with my mom.

My grandma wanted to die on her own while on hospice from her colon cancer. It spread through her body, and led to her demise. She faced death head on and it's something I respect and hope she isn't hurting anymire

My mother died at home while on Hospice. She had head and neck CA. Cancer of the right tonsil to be specific. She required only minimal amount of Morphine during the entire ordeal. During her last 2 months she was what "appeared" to be semi comatose. During that time she often with her eyes closed moved her lips as if she was talking to someone. My sister asked her, "Mama who are you talking to?" She answered, " Jesus." She passed away a few weeks later. On the day of her death she quietly and peacefully took her last breath, her eyelashes were "blown" all the way back and the expression on her face looked as if she had seen something spectacular! We believe that she be held our Lord. When the mortuary came to pick up her body the technician told us," I've seen a lot of people die of this type of cancer and this is the first time I've seen someone look so peaceful and in awe at their death." 2 Corinthians 5:8 Amplified Bible 8 we are [as I was saying] of good courage and confident hope, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Wonderful. My late wife was a hospice nurse. She stayed home with me as she gradually died fairly peacefully at home from Alzheimers. I was her caretaker. She had taken care of so many and wanted to stay home.

death is part of life. Im from uk and have looked into death. I lost my son few years ago. my dad followed 2 yrs after. My mom is 98 and thought when lost son and dad that my mom would follow. She is still here and looks so young.

My beautiful cousin just died less than an hour ago. She had cancer spread throughout her entire body. She was young and a mother one 1, and stepmother of 3. She was like a sister to me, and I LOVED her so much. She was one of my fave people on this Earth. She was AMAZING, and the strongest woman I knew. I want to be with my family, but they are in another country whilst my other family is 9 hours away. I can't get a plane ticket yet, but will be there via flight for her service which is being planned now. She will be cremated. I can't believe I'll never see or speak to my cousin again. She did not suffer. Thank you, Hospice Nurse Julie. I really needed you. 💜

I had to confront my anxiety about death in September of 2023, when I almost passed away from a bilateral pulmonary embolism and a clot in my heart. I was experiencing heart failure. The weeks before going to the hospital were so incredibly painful. When I finally let myself go to the hospital, I had less than a day left. Both teams of doctors at both hospitals told me that I needed to say my goodbyes because I wasn't going to make it. It's scary to think about now, now that I'm not knocking on deaths door.. but at the time.. the peace that came over me was so, so delightful. It was like I could finally let go and stop fighting because it was just out of my hands at that point. They were going to save me or not, and if not, there was nothing that I could do. I couldn't buy my way out of it. I couldn't argue my way back to life. I couldn't beat death up and make it go home.. I was so tired. I hadn't been able to sleep in weeks at that point, aside from the times when I was able to literally pass out from exhaustion. But knowing that the pain was going to end one way or another.. gosh.. I'm so grateful to be here. But I hope that peace can revisit me when it's time for me to have my last visitor. I know that it was terrifying for the people around me, I know that what I experienced wasn't anything like what my loved ones experienced watching me in the ICU.. but for once.. at last... I could let go, and nothing mattered anymore. I didn't want to go, but knowing that it would be (very likely) over in a few hours and I could finally rest my mind, body and soul forever. I don't know why I'm sharing this.. but.. it's cathartic to share. There's a video about my experience on my channel from earlier this year if you're interested in hearing more about what I went through and what it was like, but it is very sad. Don't fear the end. Every good story needs an end - just make sure you enjoy your story while it's being written. Much Love to Julie & All, JZ

While I don't fear death, I DO fear getting older, and losing my independence; there's no family to even take care of me, so I'll most likely end up wandering the streets when I can't work anymore.

The other side of the end-of-life is when the person does not go peacefully. My Mum fought to the end, through the anxiety meds, through the morphine, yelling out and fighting to get up out of bed until her last few hours. Gawd, it was so hard for her. She wasn't ready to go because of the fam. My fam, husband and sibling, had been such a drain on her throughout life. She babied them incessantly, sacrificing herself and her happiness for people that couldn't/wouldn't extend a similar selflessness; they couldn't even sit with her for more than half an hour in the hospital's hospice room. She fought to the end because of that sense of duty to them. I hope she has peace now.

My dad died at 98. He had a brother who died when he was four years old and he was a little preacher and right before he died they were all around his bed and he said “they’re everywhere. The angels are everywhere they’re coming to get me “ died with a smile. You are definitely an angel Julie.❤

People are scared of actively dying but what they should be scared of is passively living.

All of your videos have been wonderfully informative and even comforting. I am an old nurse (68) still working. But i never worked with dying patients. Never too old to learn something new about the human body and spirit. Thank you so much.

My beloved dog of 19 years shared his death with me a year and a half later. He wanted to reassure me he was ok so I wouldn’t be so sad. It helped me quite a bit.

My mom just died the day before Mother's Day. I didn't know she had cancer. She hid it from us and we all stood by her bed as she went home and cancer had completely destroyed her body. It's been heart breaking but today, I can feel her in my house and a supernatural connection to her and an understanding of her that I never had.

My father said, "I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens". He died peacefully in his sleep in the middle of the night.

I completely believe that personal story you had about your patients passing. I experienced my own telepathic communication with a loved one who had passed. It lasted seconds, I felt an intense heat and heard him say my name . Very comforting

I was with my mom when she passed. She had lung cancer and heart disease. It was her heart that wasn’t able to pump enough blood to her organs and they had already started dying. Her ICU nurse was wonderful and frank with me that she was not going to walk out of the hospital. With her informed guidance, I made the decision to move her from ICU to hospice where she only lasted a few hours. I got a call from her hospice nurse at 11:00 pm telling me to get to the hospital quickly as she didn’t have long. It was after hours, so I had to wait for a security guard to escort me to her floor and I was so upset I wouldn’t make it time. Thankfully, I did. Her nurse told me my mom waited for me to get there. I had about 10 minutes with her and saw her take her last breath. It was peaceful and I’m told she felt no pain.

Julie my mom passed two weeks ago in a hospice, her body shut down and we could see it. Julie you described my moms ending perfectly, she slept 20 yrs a day for a few days at the end , we got to say good bye and the nurses made her comfortable with meds and she passed 10 hrs later with zero pain at any point. Thank you for what you and your staff do.

I was lucky enough to hear my gf speak in her own voice on my recorder, clearly, over 2 months after her death.. I ended up hearing her a few more times over a period after..... It was mind blowing... I believe in an afterlife to the 100th percentile....

When my grandmother passed, I wasn’t with her. That night about 3:30 in the morning I woke up and felt someone sitting on the edge of my bed. I rolled over thinking someone was there, I immediately knew it was my grandmother letting me know she was OK. I said in my mind, I got the message grandma love you! I went back asleep only to be woken by the ringing of the telephone at 7:30 am. It was my mother, she said I’m sorry to tell you that grandma passed last night about 3:30. I said, I know mom she came to visit me and she is OK.

I work in health care too, Julie and what I hear my patients is this: they fear being alone, they fear being alone AND sick, they fear the loss of their mobility/independence/freedom to do the things they love, they fear grieving the loss of their spouse. I worked in dialysis for 17 years and many of these patients wanted to die and end their suffering, but their families guilted them into continuing ESRD treatments. Yes the machine was keeping them alive, but the progression of uncontrolled diabetes or blood pressure really caused an undignified life. Many of them died blind and had multiple amputations (feet, legs, forearms) and these came AFTER they started dialysis.

Near the end, my father was shutting down. He was in and out of coherence. Four days before my dad passed, I was visiting him at his personal care home. At one point, he became quite clear, looked at me, and said, "This will all be over soon." His whole life, he worried about dying. On the day he said that to me, I ultimately realized my dad was comfortable with it and ready.

I don’t fear death. A little nervous about the process, sure. But not fearful. I have so many loved ones who have passed that I look forward to seeing them again.

Many many years ago my ex husband's grandmother passed. I was very close to her. A few months after she passed, I dreamt that we were meeting for lunch. I asked her what it was like on the other side and she said, "pet, people worry their whole life about dying, if only they realized it was another phase of life. " To this day this dream gives me comfort.

My mom used to say "I'm not afraid of dying but I am afraid of getting older." She's 92 now and in her last days with hospice care and her four kids by her side, 4 who love her and will miss her! ❤

When I view death as the end, I become fearful. When I tell myself it's simply a transition to something else I actually look forward to that discovery.

Because of a situation beyond her control, my wife had to leave the hospital the day her mom died. It sucked that her mom died before she could get back to the hospital, but the fact that a wonderful nurse was there with my mother-in-law when she died helped my wife deal with it.

'I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.' - Woody Allen

My Dad was on a business trip where he had to take some training for his job for three days. One of his friends, who was a very healthy man, told him that he was going to skip the training because he was going to die in three days. He was calm about it. Everybody tried to get him to stay, but he went off. Came the news, three days later, he had died of a massive heart attack out of nowhere. He had no history of heart disease, no one told him that he was going to die, he just knew.

Nurse Julie... I love your videos! Thank you for all you do! You are a living Angel to those getting ready to pass to the other side. I had a near death experience when I was a teen. A friend and I went body boarding in the ocean off southern california. There was a hurricane going on in Mexico so the SURF was really HIGH and currents strong. No one was in the water.. we had our beach to ourselves. After some sets in the water, I was overcome by waves getting pounded! and sucked out by the current. I lost my board, my fatigue kicked in... I thought to myself, this is how I DIE today at just 16. As I was about to give up getting pounded by wave after wave, A man/being/spirit swam up to me... long brown hair, 20 to 30's aged looking and PIERCING PALE BLUE EYES with no facial expression, none! Pushed by Board to me with a thrust.. Our EYES met, I tried to say thank you!! And there was ZERO EXPRESSION. He/it/the spirt or angel just disappeared under the water..... My friend was on the beach, thought he saw my Angel but also never saw him reappear out of the waves..... No one else was around. We were both perplexed. No one could survive in those waves and not back out. I am 47 years old now, I still think back to that day. I don't know who or what I was saved by. It was a truly religious experience. I am turning back to God and Christ now that my teenage son is attending church.

I wasn’t there when my dad died at the hospital. Until the last moment I was sure he’s going to make it. I was shocked when my mom called 30 minutes after I left to tell me that he’s gone. I was flooded with tears. The same night I had a dream he called me and told me to stop crying because he’s fine now, that he feels no pain and it’s so good there. It made me feel better for a bit, but even after 12 years I miss him so much…

I agree with Nurse Julie, I was with my Father when he passed , he was ready to go and had a relaxed smile. He indicated, “they were waiting for him” not long after he let out his last breath and passed. It was a peaceful moment.

My Mother passed away in hospice and she was completely at peace, and cheerful, with the entire process. When it's my time to depart my Mom will be my model and who I will emulate. My hero!

Thank you for sharing. Im still learning to accept death, its always very grief filled. I take in unwanted animals, mostly guinea pigs, for what remains of their life. Give them care, make friends, and help them across. One is dying tonight, and going to the vet tomorrow to be sent on in peace. Each time I grow a little but the goodbyes are still very hard.

I had a shared death experience with my grandmother. She unexpectedly died from a reaction to IV contrast. They brought her back but she started going downhill within hours. That night I had my first and only lucid dream. We were sitting in a white empty space, facing each other. We could telepathically communicate without talking. We smiled, "said" I love you, then stood up and hugged goodbye. I closed my eyes during the hug and felt the embrace of her love. Maybe a half hour later I was woken up by my mother's cell phone. It was the hospital calling to say she passed. I'm forever grateful for her giving me one last chance to hug her and say bye. ❤️

This made me tear up. I lost my brother and father within the same year. My brother got hit by a car and it was instant, my father died by cancer. My dad was terrified of dying and my brother didn’t even know it was coming so as someone who doesn’t believe a whole lot in the afterlife, if freedom and peace is what they both felt at the end, I’m grateful for that. Thank you for sharing :)

At the end of my wifes life she had conversations with her dead mother and grandmother. I ask her who she was talking to and she said it was her mom and grandma. She past two days later at home with me while I was drying her hair after a bath she insisted on. She said "I feel dizzy" and fell back in my arms. Im a former police officer I've seen a lot of dead people and I knew she was gone despite CPR I tried until EMS arrived. She was only 52.

Thank you so much! Don’t know how I found your channel but glad I did! I’m 53 facing a cancer dx and don’t know what to do. I have 4 grown kids 6 grandkids and I’m so lost. I was tough and strong I was a Green Beret and Ranger, I never needed help I helped! Now I sit and hide as I go through this journey, not want to let anyone know I’m scared to death it hit me this might be it! I have faith and all but I still want to be and do so much for my family yet I can’t. This weakness is something I’m not use to! Sorry for rambling but thank you for what you do!! You’re a special person!!

I spent many years working in hospice as an administrator for a hospice agency and the work the nurses, caregivers, home health aides do is truly incredible. I don’t fear death, I fear leaving the people I love. Any time I worry about illness and death, I think “but I’ll miss my life.” They may sound strange.

As a person who has from time to time had a fear of death, I can say that it isn't about the act of dying and what the body goes through during the period right before death. The fear of death is about what is beyond this life when it ends, if anything. It is about leaving behind milk shakes, orgasms, sunsets, roller coasters, and of course loved ones for a (possible) trip into the unknown.

My dad ended his life in 1968, and in 2001 while walking in a wilderness area, I had this overwhelming sense of my dad's presence. I can't describe it, but I remember asking him out loud if he was present right now. Then this silent voice inside my head told me to go back to my car and turn on the radio because my dad had a message for me. I told myself this sounds absolutely crazy and it didn't make any sense, but I went back to my car and turned on the radio. The song "Tears From Heaven" by Eric Clapton had just started, and it was the first time I felt like my dad was okay. That's the last time I ever heard from him.

I don’t fear death either. I was saved by an “angel” from boiling oil. My hand was about to fall into the pot. All of a sudden, I felt a thumb and an index pushing my wrist away. I was 24 years old. It changed my life. It felt so loving. I couldn’t stop touching my wrist for the rest of the day looking around me hoping it would happen again. If there is no life after death then who touched me? I know there is without a doubt. I also don’t tell people my story fear of being ridiculed. But it did happen. I don’t do drugs, I don’t smoke nor drink and I don’t take any medication. I did not hallucinate either. It was real. I wish this experience to anyone.

You hospice nurses are amazing. The team gave us a sheet when my Grandpa at 96 was on hospice for a couple weeks. I'm a man of faith and was surprised to see things like 'will be talking to people you can't see and not making sense' and then 'they will have one really good day' then you know death is soon. I spent the last week of his life with him helping Mom and goodness it was just like y'all said. Exactly. The shared thing sounds wonderful and makes sense as I know beyond any doubt that we are met by all our near and dear loved ones in a joyous reunion. You're very right not to fear death this is assuredly just the beginning for each of us.

First of all, Julie, thank u for what u do. I am a firefighter, first responder, and I've seen things Hollywood couldn't script. I can't say I fear death, but then u get a page out of a fatal vehicle accident, and then you question that. I needed to hear this video of peaceful passing. Thank you

My mother's eyes changed colors one week before she died. I was not there when she died but the nurse's aide said she wanted to clean up and then she went back to sleep and that was it. She had been preparing to go for weeks. Strive to be the best at what you do, make friends easily, help others, and don't expect anything in return. That is my mantra as I get older and move through retirement. It is to help family and friends and live a healthy life in this final stage of life.

As soon as we are born, we are all destined to die. Nobody gets out of here alive! Thank you for helping all of us. ✌🏻🧡

My Dad passed away from colon cancer, in 98 at the young age of 53. Shortly before he passed, he told my sister, "I know where I'm going" ❤

Your patient (friend) gave you a priceless gift. Thank you for sharing. I believe you.

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” ― Mark Twain

Thank you so, so, so much for helping us understand the unknown. I just came to the realization that I am going to die alone as I have no kids and am not close with my 2 brothers. As long as I am not in pain during my death journey, I am comforted by the fact that the transition may even be peaceful. Your knowledge has given me comfort as a healthy enough (with depression/anxety) 53 year-old that when my time has come, I will be ok. You are a gem. Your name should be spelled Jewel-ie. Hugs from Florida!

I had a similar experience after my son passed away a internal happiness came over me I knew it was my son showing me how he felt

Julie I believe you very much. I had an experience similar to yours when my dad passed. I asked him to tell me how heaven is and few weeks later, while I was lying in bed thinking about how sad I was without him, I suddenly felt like I was being dragged up into space. I passed the clouds and everything and when those cleared up, I entered this amazingly clear and beautiful world. The colors were brighter and more vibrant and it seemed so peaceful. There were people and animals walking side by side and they all looked so calm and peaceful. There was nothing but positivity and calmness around. Then I saw a large green, beating heart which baffled me. As I was trying to make sense of that, I dropped back down and seemed to return back to my body lying on my bed as if nothing had happened. I was soooo baffled. I couldn’t make sense of it all. I had never had such an experience in my life. I thought I was coockoo for a bit but then I realized that my father had found a way to share his world with me as I had asked him to tell me how it was. His heaven was more amazing than this world could ever be and the level of peace is nothing like any sense of peace we can experience in this world and in this lifetime. And I finally understand the beating green heart. My dad died of a heart attack. He was trying to tell me that in his new place, his heart continues to beat and is green like the color of life and nature. His heart is a part of heaven as it’s all intertwined. I don’t tell many people my story as I think they will just think me crazy. I’m so glad to see someone else have a similar experience cuz I can relate to it and understand it just like I’m sure u can understand mine.

I fear life much more than death.

My dear nephew died in March in a tragic sudden accident and he was only 19 months, my brother and sister in law live a 4 hour flight away from us so we flew up there to support them and their other 2 sons well on the flight back something urged me to look out the window and an image of my nephew appeared in the clouds of him sleeping on his side with distinct angel wings behind him I couldn’t believe it! I scrambled for my phone to take a photo and as soon as I did it disappeared. At least I know he is safe in heaven our precious little guy😢❤

So true! Cardinal Bernadine who passed away from cancer yrs back said, "do not fear death, but embrace it as a friend". I'm so aligned with my faith and my fate. You are correct from every angle I look at it. There's a spiritual nature at work with awesome power to give life/take life. No arguments here, from this disabled Army veteran - terminally ill. Thank you very much. God as I know him, Bless ya's!🙏

That is such a powerful story and event that happened to you. Life and death really is a mystery until we actually experience it.

My dad passed away just two months ago. He was cremated per his wishes, and today we had his graveside service. Today in central Wyoming the weather was COLD, raining, and a good stout wind was blowing. It was COLD. So, his ashes were placed in the column barium after a short religious service. We went back in to the chapel afterwards with my back to the outside glass door. I thought of some random thing of my dad. Immediately, I felt a strong warm burst of air against the left side of my face, strong enough to move my hair. There was no one behind me, and my husband felt it too. One good puff and it was gone. The same thing happened about a decade ago when my ex-husband passed away. There's definitely something there that, for the moment, we simply can't see- yet. Thank you for helping us learn to not be afraid of a natural thing.

The thought of being dead doesn’t scare me. If there’s a heaven, it’ll be wonderful. If there’s nothing, that’s good too. What terrifies me is dying how my mother did - months of being in home hospice, bedridden and begging for us to put her out of her misery. May we all die suddenly in our sleep after a marvelous life.

After being unconscious in bed for a couple of days, right before death, my dad suddenly opened his eyes-HUGE-and started mouthing silent words a thousand miles per minute! He was looking out the window to the night sky, and absolutely communicating with someone! He didn’t look happy. He didn’t look afraid, really. He looked intensely urgent-very serious! Like he was being questioned by Someone important, and he had to give honest answers! After a few minutes of this, he finally relaxed, closed his eyes, took a few more slow breaths, acted like he was going to sneeze…2 times…and stopped breathing. I KNOW there’s something real as you step from this existence to the next, but I’m not sure it’s all happiness, comfort and beauty for everyone. My dad believed he was a born again Christian, and served his whole life in the church.

Long term suffering is what scares me to death...

I very much appreciate your vids.Lost my Mom 3 weeks ago.She was on hospice,86,with chronic dementia,it was a relief both for her and my brother and I.The last 2 years were very hard,we took care of her till the end,she was on hospice for 4 days.I"m sure that you sharing your experiences brings comfort to many.I"ve never had a problem believing that there"s more to life than our experiences on earth.I"m not in the medical field but we would definitely identify with each other.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Wow. What a genuinely beautiful story. Never before have I felt such peace and contentment when thinking about death. For context, I am an agnostic, with no firmly held beliefs regarding death nor the afterlife. But listening to this account and the first-hand stories of you wonderful people in the comment section, I feel as if I could cry. Not of existential fear this time but of joy and surreal contentment. I now see the beauty in this process, the way the body gently prepares itself to pass on, and how the mind eases itself into the transition. How lucky it would be to die in the company of those you love and in a natural way. To those who have lost someone dear to you - I do truly hope this video has brought you the comfort it has brought me, and if it hasn’t, I know you will find peace, whether in this lifetime or the next. Thank you for your video, Nurse Julie!
