Hospice nurses reveal the one word they often hear just 24 hours before someone dies
For those witnessing these moments, knowing that such experiences have been reported by hospice patients may make them a little less frightening.
And when someone nearing the end of life calls for their mother, perhaps the most important response is not to argue with them, but to offer comfort and reassurance.
Because at the end of life, sometimes the most meaningful thing a family member can give is simply the feeling that their loved one is not alone.
If you know someone caring for a loved one in hospice or facing the final stages of a serious illness, consider sharing this story with them. It may help them feel a little more prepared for what they could experience.
