Random Someone Actively Dying, on YouTube.

[Flatus Tube]

My phone was clearly listening to me as my last 3 calls at work tonight were to arrange death verifications. Then I get home and YouTube serves up this video 😂.

A palliative care nurse talks through the stages of active dying with a video of a dying woman sent in by her viewers.

I personally think the trigger warning should be about her awfully placed Botox, but hey ho.

This is the type of death I’ve been present at the most. It’s always interesting to see, and nice to be able help people though this stage of their journey.

Death is fascinating . I don't talk about it much but my wife has worked as a hospice aide for more than a decade. It's been a blessing having her insight and strength by my side as both my parents departed. In fact she is presently back in her home country helping her family deal with her dads journey.
It's also true that a lot of my wifes patients have been dementia paitents, also likely to be beneficial, as I'm unfortunately predisposed to suffer that fate. Death has such a stigma yet is so natural. I just hope I meet my fate before the dementia finds me as the shock of my moms sudden death was nothing in compare to my dads longest goodbye.

If you don't mind me asking, what specific form of dementia did your father have?

it was fascinating to watch the pulse in her neck in vid # 2

I believe this kind of respiration is called "Cheyne-Stokes" breathing.

As the heart starts to fail, the Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) increases so you see the almost wave like pulse as seen in the video.

It’s also one of the old school diagnostic tests for Heart Failure as a chronic disease as well as a couple of other things.

Yeah I don't think it's correct to just assume she's in no pain or is not in complete mental anguish / panic on the inside just because the old body isn't actively mobile. That seems like absolute horror and MAKE SURE YOU DRUG THE FUCK OUT OF ME so I'm wasted and tripping if I ever get that old and am dying like that. !!!

This nurse makes these all the time for hospice families. She is a legit help for many people.

In my years in HEMS I was present at hundreds of deaths. Thank god hospice patients aren’t considered “acute emergencies”. They smell like death.

Hospice nurses are special people. Truly angels in every sense of the word.

They handle other people pain for a living. Imagine knowing that every patient you meet will die on your watch and all you can do is make them comfortable and try to explain to their families that it is a natural process..fuck that! I approach my patients knowing that death is going to have to fight like hell to take them from me.

You're wife sounds like an exceptional person.

Yes. I count my blessings.

 

[MuslimHater]

Im lucky enough to have an exceptional woman as my wife. I thank the Lord daily for her.

May their souls rest in piece brother.

i didn't realize the dying made those very irregular breaths toward the end. I always claimed to have raised old granny from the dead 3 times by shouting GRANNY WAKE UP at her until she began breathing again.

I had to watch my fiancé Debby do this.
She told me to be good, and that she will wait for me, backstage, in Heaven. Like we planned.
Next year is 25 years since I lost her, and I have a short story about our time that was once posted for a while at LiveLeak in the open writing/prose/poem section in the forums.
I'm going to post the 25th anniversary edition our story here in the appropriate forum. ( in 2026-we met working on stage in 1996-she loved Ogrish and would have been a regular here....both of us loving the same work-her credentials made me look like a piker-dammit)
