It wasn't anything that was said, nor am I a doctor, but when my cat was dying, she was curling up in a way she had only curled around her kittens. With the way she acted, it was almost as though she had forgotten that her two remaining children were adults. The look of shock and panic on her face right before she died will always stick with me.
Before my late Fiancée died in 2021 she was in a medically induced coma and her family spoke about me and her brain waves spiked at the mention of my name.
Don't let it fuck you up too much - Dude chose to die. Knew exactly what he was doing and did it anyway. I've watched too many deaths not to know that sometimes people choose to walk away.
My mom told my grandma it was okay to go, and she died that night. Then I had to do it to my mom when she was fighting stage 4 cancer. It's a kindness and a nightmare all at the same time.
My mother was dying qt age 95 because her mitral valve would no longer close.She could talk but could not hear or see. I was at her side stroking her hair along with my niece. Suddenly my mother looked at me and said "I have to go now. My brother's here." and let out a long sigh and died. Her brother had been dead for twenty years. I will never forget this.
a few of these stories reminded me of my grandma. She was suffering with cancer and sadly passed away on the 26th of December a few years back, despite the doctors saying she's getting better just the day before. I believe that she pushed through so she wouldn't pass on on Christmas and would instead pass on on Saint Steven, which was the name of her late husband.
2:06 I know exactly what this nurse means. My beloved budgie sky was losing a battle to some unidentified sickness and the vets were closed for the weekend (anyone who's ever kept birds knows that they hide their sicknesses very well until right at the last minute, where they don't have the energy to pretend anymore). The night before she wanted to come out of her cage to say hi. When she did, her beak and feet were cold. I knew she must have been very, very sick. I chatted with her for a bit, got her a new hot water bottle to try and help her stay warm, and so she didn't exhaust herself put her back in her cage to try and get enough rest to visit the vets tomorrow. She just looked at me gently, I know she wanted to stay out here with me but I also know she needed to rest. The following morning I was woken up to the sound of frantic scrabbling on the cage floor; the sound she often made to get my attention when she wanted to hang out. I rushed over and there she was sprawled out on the floor, kicking with her feet and beak to make as much noise as possible. As soon as I scooped her up (she was too weak to stand) she calmed down, I spoke to her softly through my sobs, and within a couple minutes she was gone. Its strange how people can hold off death sometimes until they've said goodbye, until they know its okay to go, but I've seen it myself and I know that it's true. She was the sweetest most loving little girl, I'm so glad I got to say goodbye.
These are the sort of doctors and nurses that all 🏥 hospitals needs , medical personnel who can show compassion for the patients in the hospital 🏥. They do a wonderful job 🧑🔬🧑⚕️ .
When I was little (like 4 or 5) my grandpa died of cancer his last words were “Margret Lindsay (my grandmas and mums name) I love you and tell Holly (my name) she’s perfect” I cry myself to sleep a lot because of that
oh this is actually just lovely really....thinking about how much love that man had in him for his girls that his last thoughts and energy were to express that love to you all.
The most encouraging last words I heard were relayed at my Grandfather's funeral. My grandfather had multiple differing coronary/circulatory issues until he passed. On the night he died he realized something was wrong when he couldn't get out of his recliner. My grandma called EMS like they had done about a half a dozen times before. This time though it was too late. Before the first responders and firefighters pulled up my grandfather turned to my grandmother and uncle and said "They're telling me I can't live anymore". My uncle and grandmother were the only people in the room and emergency services were still being dispatched. They asked my grandfather who is telling him that. He said "everyone is telling me that. I'm sorry I have to go." He made that last statement and lost consciousness. The police (small town and the cops are always getting to scenes first since they're on the clock), first responders/firemen (volunteers), and medics (professional paramedics) tried as hard as they could to resuscitate but nothing worked. I've always been somewhat skeptical of religion and the afterlife. Right up until my uncle told me that story. I believe my grandfather saw what was waiting for him when he passed. He was on that threshold between life and death or the bridge between this life in the next or whatever you want to call it. He looked at what waited and he saw everyone he loved that had gone before waiting on the other bank. I believe that there will be something after this life. When my time comes I am sure he'll be with everyone waiting for me to keep that last appointment.
It’s quite common that nearing death people see or hear deceased loved ones. My mother in law had a few episodes of this before she actually died. She sat in her chair and raised her arms, then seem to come back to herself.
You may be shocked by this, but the patient was my Mom! I was off duty (for the duration! Anyway, I was assisting the Hospice CNA do Mom's bath. She was totally out of it, basically "comatose" but I talked to her anyway! So I was (trying not to cry &...), apologizing; "I know this hurts"; "we're almost done, etc, but that last thing she said broke my heart! I had said, "I'm so sorry!" again. Her eyes opened wide & looked right into mine & said, "no, you're not"! I died inside, & stayed that was for years! Finally some one said to me, "you know. She was probably joking!" Then I remembered her & her humor, & said, "you are right ya know.. She loved to tease!!
I assume you already know this but when you get older a lot of times you will say things or even do things that you dont mean. Its part of getting older.
My grandpa’s last words were asking me to sing him his favorite song again. Edit: I’d also like to add another family member’s last words. He was my grandma’s niece’s husband. He was dying (don’t remember what from) and on hospice. He had been bedridden for a week or two at that point. All of a sudden, he stood up and said, “Lord, if you want to take me, I’m ready.” He then fell back into the bed and died.
@@perrobravoperocastrado2286 I know! We also didn’t know those were his last words at the time. He passed a week later, but he was unconscious for pretty much that entire week. He didn’t say anything else after that. It ended up becoming my favorite song as well after he passed, largely due to that being his last words.
I was a nurse assistant in my late teens and will never forget the last words of a man dying of cancer. " The flames are licking at my feet. Oh it burns!" He never wanted prayers or mention of God during his stay. Made me realize Hell is real.
The stark reality is once we die we are ushered into the righteous judgment of the Most High God, and there are only two possible outcomes. One is eternal life with the LORD through grace by faith in Christ Jesus, or eternal punishment in hell and eventually the lake of fire at the White Throne Judgment in the Book of Revelation.
So my friend isn't dead but has pretty bad brain damage and can't walk, talk, eat, or really anything on her own. She's slowly making progress but still anyways, the accident happened when me and her were in 3rd grade. She was in a car crash that caused her injuries. I remember seeing her in the hospital and she wasn't really even able to make noise or move. It was hard but even now I'm in high school and I still go visit her. The thing that broke me a little was hearing from her mother (amazing woman) that it was always obvious that my friend preferred red haired nurses. To this day any medical staff she sees with red hair she really loves. As a kid I had red hair. I now color it but just knowing she recognizes that as me makes me cry every time I think about it. She was my best friend and I wish we could have grown up together normally. I see people treat her like a child still and I hate it. I treat her like any one of my other friends. I do her make up, nails, hair and gossip with her about my school life. Because she is still a person and a teenager for that matter she should get to feel normal even if she's never gonna fully recover which is the hardest to think about.
When my (adoptive) grandmother was dying, I came from out of state to visit her. I was young, about 12, and didn't know how sick she was. I was shocked to see how frail she looked, but I assumed she was getting better, because the first thing she did was beam at me, hold out her arms, and say "Hi, Angel!" (Her nickname for me.) We talked and laughed and when I left I told her I loved her SO MUCH and I'd be back soon. She died three days later. I was told she had barely spoken at all before I came. I'll never forget how she rallied for me. I'm so grateful. I miss you, Rhoda. You're MY angel till we meet again.
Nurse in UK. I was working in a small “cottage hospital” caring for elderly patients undergoing rehab before going home. One night while I did the bedtime medicine round, one man said to me, “I don’t need those, I’ll be dead by the morning.” I made light of it, because I was young & inexperienced & didn’t believe him. He seemed fine during regular rounds overnight, but on switching the lights on in the morning he was indeed (recently) dead. I wished that I had asked him for any messages for his relatives.
so true. My grandma was 89 when she died and our whole family was there with her, she had been incapacitated for quite some time. After being there all day and listening to my 2 oldest aunts holding her hands caressing her and saying "its ok mom, just another breath" I had had enough. I got upset with them and said "stop saying that to her, she is a old woman with a long life, she does not want to be like this anymore, stop asking her to keep fighting, she is only doing it for you 2 adults." One of them left to use the washroom and I was by my grammy and just gently told her I loved her so much and then "everything is ok grammy, everyone will be ok, we will all miss you and we all love you, but its ok to go now, you dont need to fight anymore, its ok to go now." She was gone about 30 minutes later. she was the only grandparent that I really knew and I miss her but I think she needed to hear it was ok to go....she would also have chuckled at me blowing up at my aunts. I am the oldest grandkid and was her only girl for 13 years so received some different attention than my 8 boy cousins. We had a great relationship and I hope when I have grandkids I am able to be like her....she even got to meet 7 or 8 of her great-grandkids.
Story 4. As a nurse myself, this is exactly what I say. I tell the patient “It’s ok, everybody will understand and be ok. It’s ok to go.” I can’t even begin to count how many times in my 15 years I’ve held the hand of somebody that passes away. I have spent hours of the night sitting with patients so their families could get some much needed sleep, and have been with many when they draw their last breath. I always make sure to reassure them that they can go. It’s one of the most heartbreaking parts of the job, but the comfort that you can bring them in their final moments is also very rewarding. Nobody should die alone, and this is one thing that I make sure to tell new staff, students, and families to reassure them that their loved one will not be alone.
It's.. not haunting at all, but as my mother was being wheeled away to have a blood clot from what would ultimately be a fatal stroke removed from her brain, I called out to her that I loved her, and the last thing she ever said was "I love you too, stay strong!" She fell into a coma the next day, she was expected to die 1-2 days later. That stubborn old bat toughed it out for 9 days, she clearly didn't want to die on her birthday, or mine, which would have been the next day, and the day before she died, respectively. I can only hope I'll be as stubborn as she was when it's time for me to go.
“Your father is here with my coat, it’s time to go”. My patient to her daughter. Patient’s husband had died several years before. Right after saying this, she closed her eyes and died. 😢❤
11:11 My grandfather was in and out of the hospital he liked the nurses and understood he needed to be there. then COVID hit.... He was in the hospital when no one was allowed in(He didn't have COVID) he was discharged and went home for a few weeks when his health took a turn... He flipped out the second the word "Hospital" was said.... Something happened that last visit.... I never saw or heard that man being afraid until that moment... He lived for a few more months until he went comatose, home hospice. he got to pass in his home...
Story 4: this is Something I do too. Just a few days ago I chaperoned an elderly Woman over to the next adventure. Her breathing was so shallow, her Heart Rate slowed, but her eyes were Open, unseeing, or better Not seing this world anymore. I Held her Hand for Like 30 Minutes, told her, she is Not alone, she May leave in Peace, im Here for her. I dont let my patients die alone, If I can manage... (Im an ICU nurse)
Story 9 😢 She's been waiting for a young man for a very long time, and she's ready to see him again 😭 she knows he's gone, so she probably kept in touch during her later years... or worse, he died young.
Everytime someone likes this comment I REMEMBER HOW SAD THIS STORY WAS....lost love in times of racial segregation and jim crow really pulls at the heart strings.... imagine being a youth and being in love, wanting to marry, and the whole country telling you NO DON'T YOU DARE! With someone around your own age, with someone who has all the capability to be with you and good for you, because some people are so cruel. And everyone was a bit more decent back then. When people got married they stayed married. She probably had to age into her 40s and the end of segregation and jim crow laws watching her love marry another woman as she married another man.
When the nurse said he hadn't really even remembered the little boy who said he was his favourite. I just want to say that that's ok! As a nurse you have to separate yourself mentally from becoming too overly attached/too involved in cases or you will emotionally burn out. It doesn't mean you are a bad nurse, or aren't treating patients with empathy and compassion. You are just protecting yourself, if you didn't you would lose your mind.
My great-grandmothers last words were "what's paw doing in that corner" Paw' was her father she passed in her nursing home with as much family could be there❤💙
My grandmother passed away at the beginning of the year and the night before she passed away, her last words to her children (my mom and my uncle) were "You don’t have to come to the hospital tomorrow"
I had a woman ask me if it was okay if she died. I told her it was if she was ready. I came back ten minutes later and she was gone. I had been a nurse for like 4 weeks at the time and went home and cried hysterically because of the…..immensity of it? I hope she’s flying high. ❤
Oh God the nasogastric tube got me. It’s so incredibly stupid, such a completely unnecessary and preventable thing and it cost someone their life. And yet, it’s something I can totally see happening. I’ve seen plenty of patients with dementia who were at high risk of doing something like this, and here somebody actually died because they were playing with the tube.
At least this was an accident made by the patient. There was an incident in Brazil once where the nurse mixed up the feeding tube with the IV tube. I'll...spare you the details of what happened that day.
My parents were married for 64 years, most of them with my Dad in the pulpit as a Minister; he passed about a month after their last Anniversary. Ten months later, about a month before the date of their next anniversary rolled around, my mother was admitted to hospital and it was discovered that all we could do was comfort care. My sister, hubby, and myself stayed almost three weeks with her 24/7 with my grown children coming each day to spell us off a bit. One night, just after my sister stepped out to make a cup of tea, my mother - who had been unintelligible since the breathing tube was pulled - looked over my shoulder and clearly and brightly declared “Oh look, there’s your father”. Considering Dad had passed 11.5 months before, but knowing he had ALWAYS made a point to be with parishioners when they crossed, the possibility seemed all too real in my mind! Being the chicken that I am, however, I chose to not turn my head and just said, “Well of course, Ma. Where else would he be?” She smiled, laid her head back down, and passed away. To this day, I kinda regret not turning around!
One, if not the last thing one of my sisters Sis-in-Laws heard her husband say as he was barely kept alive in the hospital was ‘it’s so beautiful here’. She decided to let him go after she heard that. He was only 33.
I will remember this phone call forever. Made from the hospital, my grandmother called my mom to tell us my great-grandfather passed away. He was 90. I couldn’t hear the other end but I immediately knew what had happened. “Yeah? Oh my god- oh no. He was a really nice man. Yeah. Oh my god. Alright, bye” That was my mom standing right next to me. She ran upstairs crying. I followed her, we hugged it out for a straight 5 minutes without moving, both of us crying. My great-grandfather was in the hospital recovering from a fall he had in his kitchen. He was in perfect health 3 days before he died but suddenly one day he went to sleep and never woke up. He was unconscious for 2 days if I remember correctly. My grandmother and her siblings were standing next to his stretcher and watched his final breath. I still tear up 3 years later remembering the last time I visited, the summer the same year he passed.
When I was a student nurse, there was a patient on the ward who had been in a coma for a week or so. When a friend student and I passed her room one morning, we were surprised to find her awake and sitting up in the bed. She told us, "hand me my slippers. I have to leave." She died later that day.
My patient, who had been recovering well from a heart attack, told me she felt a sense of doom and that she was going to die that night. She had been completely stable. She got out of bed to take a walk around the hall. Had her telemetry monitor on. All of a sudden I heard a shout from the tele technician screaming to check on her as she was n ventricular fibrillation. She coded and died. I never doubted a patient again if they said that.
I'm really touched how wonderful these health care workers are. My father and mother have been in the field their entire professional lives. It makes my heart swell with pride knowing they work in this field and have been there for patients in times like these. If you are a health care worker, please remember you are seeing these patients in some of their weakest moments. They may sound personal, but it isn't personal. They're grateful for you, even if they don't know it.
Critical Care RN here - Caring for a terminally ill woman in ICU, I brought her some morphine for her pain. She looked up at me with pain filled eyes and said “Is that the death shot?” I cried, and she fell asleep and faded away. 😢
My dad died recently. My brother wishes he could have understood what my dad tried to tell him the night before he died, but dad had alzheimers and didn't really make sense most of the time, unfortunately. I hope it doesn't haunt him not knowing what dad was trying to say...
my christian uncle served the Lord up until he passed the ppl that looked after him and looked up to him like a grandad/dad said uncle said to them see Jesus hes coming im getting teary as i text this they said no he said yeh hes coming next day he passed away this is a true story when they had his funeral my sister said (i couldnt make it to his funeral ) when they were lowering his coffin down my sister said i looked up into the sky there was no cloud that day but she said at that moment i looked up an a cloud was in the shape of Jesus on the cross i kid u not i said thats beautiful i said to her well he honoured the Lord all his life til his passing and that day Lord honoured him amen true story ppls not made up
my mums a nurse. she used to work in Princess Margaret Children Hospital is what it was called i think in Western Australia. she has ghost stories of her own. there used to be a facebook page dedicated to ghost photos, though i think it got archived or deleted. anyway, there was this room where everyone felt off. like, colder and shit. some of her friends have reported seeing ghost figures, and feeling they’re watched. epic. sad they’ve destroyed it. the poor ghosts home. she now works at PCH, and my school has even made blankets for some kids there.
My grandpa died in 2022 due to lung cancer that was discovered way too late. My grandma visited him like everyday and he seemed to recover from the pneumonia. They watched the sunset thru the hospital window and my grandpa turned to my grandma and said "let's go home". She explained to him that she can't do that since he's still sick but will visit him again tomorrow. He died that night in his sleep. Edit: the last time i saw him he was already in the hospital mostly sleeping and unable to speak. I had a panic attack cuz I couldn't handle the fact that he was dying and although I'm not a fan of hugging ppl since it makes me hella uncomfortable i still regret not hugging him but having to leave cuz of the panic attack. At least he didn't notice that I was having a breakdown.
My worst last words from a patient ON oxygen. Grabbing my arms and screaming in my face “ My Dying wish is a cigarette”. And I was not able to give her one. It really upset me
My mother was slowly dying after a stroke. I visited her on a Sunday and as I left she said “ see you next week”. I lived and worked in a town 5 hours away and had planned to visit again in 2 weeks. She died on the following Wednesday. So I saw her the “next week”.
A friend of mine was out with his buddy for a night of drinking. For some reason or another he got pissed and got in his car a took off fast as that car would go. So my friend took off after him. The next thing my buddy noticed a dust storm and was water hitting his car. The dust was pieces of the car and radiator fluid. His friend was ejected from the car and my friend ran to him and was telling hold on he calling for help. His friends eyes were closed and for an instant he woke up and said “What the f***” and that was the end. I always wondered what he seen to make him say that.
My grandma before she passed handed us fifty 1 dollar bill each as a prank on Christmas then about four months later she passed and somehow a few minutes before we were told our tire some how got slashed by a large sharp object but we couldn't find anything still a joke in the family she was behind it when she passed one last prank
Your background rapid videos are give me migraines and are possible to trigger seizures in sensitive people. I cannot watch and listen to your site unless you change your system.
this isn't meant to be rude but maybe a different channel would be better suited for you? there's many reddit story channels out there and some of them don't have background videos! or try watching with the screen off?
The looking better all of a sudden is called the surge. Patients suddenly start looking better and it tends to give families false hope. If they keep recovering this isn't the surge. If they pass within days to minutes of rebounding then that's what it was. It has different names depending on who you ask.
I was a helicopter flight nurse. My paramedic partner was in the ER, transferring care of our patient to the ER staff. I was just outside the ER, cleaning our gurney, preparing for our next flight. An Asian woman comes into the nearby waiting room. She announces, "Jones family, Jones family." Several family members gather in front of her, eager for news of their loved one. She puts her hands together 🙏, does a shallow bow of acknowledgment. She then states, "So sorry, he dead now." Then she turned around and walked away. SERIOUSLY. WOW . DID I JUST WITNESS THAT? I will never forget that night.
4:00 i laughed out loud. He/she just decided "if she isn't with me, then i wont be either!" Best story out of all of these. Edit: best story out of this video**
when my grandpa passed away, i was at the different country,having fun at concert. i didn't even realised my mom called me because you know, concert just loud af. i went back to the hotel charge my phone and saw few texts from my mom from "papa (grandpa) is in critical condition", "papa needs life support. please come back, he's searching for you" and last one "he passed away". i've arrived home 3 days later because i'm from asia and i went to US with friends. up til now, it scares me just to leave my house in case there's an emergency again.
Nurse here - I don’t honestly know why either, but I’ve had patients mouths fill up with blood during cpr that needs to be suctioned away. These pts haven’t survived
A long time ago the Russians did some experimentation, more like monitored visually and with available machinery. Upon death every patient lost a few ounces (feel free to substitute grams or whatever they use). It was based on speculation of the soul. I had a little springer spaniel that a visiting 13 year old bully kicked in the stomach. The vet said he had ruptured her bowels and had to be put to sleep. I stayed with her with my hands on her side and neck. I actually felt something through my hands as she left. Sounds crazy, I’m not. It was nothing I had never felt before…. I couldn’t have made the feeling up. It was like a light buzzing, but not that harsh feeling of electricity. Imagine the feeling a bit more than a feather.
My Dalmatian died at 15. She was in her basket and had previously come said goodbye. I knew she was dying so did she. When she was sleeping in her basket I told her I had to go to the bathroom and wheeled myself up the ramp( in wheelchair). She immediately watched me go until I was out of sight then went to sleep. A small orb then appeared followed by another near the edge of her basket. They spun around with joy and took off and disappeared. When I came back she had passed away, I saw the orbs on the ring camera and I knew she had some one collect her. A small little dog who passed away years before who was her best friend perhaps. But two orbs it was. Her name was Angel and I still miss her.
"What will I do without her.... it breaks me up... every.. time..."
"We NoW hAvE a DiScOrD!"
That’s what I’m saying💀 caught me off guard lol
was going to comment that lol
ikr, that hit me seven ways sideways 💀
The background video game scene in this video is annoying as heck.
this was gonna be my comment
It wasn't anything that was said, nor am I a doctor, but when my cat was dying, she was curling up in a way she had only curled around her kittens. With the way she acted, it was almost as though she had forgotten that her two remaining children were adults. The look of shock and panic on her face right before she died will always stick with me.
Oh wow... poor Momma....my deepest condolences to you....I just lost my Gingi Boy recently...he fought so hard to live....💔🥹😻
My mom's cat waited for her to come home so he could die in her lap
That's so sad.
Before my late Fiancée died in 2021 she was in a medically induced coma and her family spoke about me and her brain waves spiked at the mention of my name.
@Anthony-mt7qr
As ITU nurses, we are taught that hearing is the last of the senses to disappear; this story seems to confirm that.
💐
If I'm mentally with it, my last words are going to be, "They'll never find the bodies."
I’d probably just say “peni-“ and then before I can finish the word I would just flat line
I'd probably say the same 😂
I think I’d rather say… ‘I buried my life’s savings under the….’ ☠️
"the secret formula for the krabby patty is...."
Id just go full on gol d roger and send my family and friends on a 1000 episode journey to find my will, also my bank details.
The "I shouldn't have played with the tube" one freaked me the fuck out.
Same here. There's just something that really freaks me out about people inadvertently causing their own deaths.
Don't let it fuck you up too much - Dude chose to die. Knew exactly what he was doing and did it anyway. I've watched too many deaths not to know that sometimes people choose to walk away.
My mom told my grandma it was okay to go, and she died that night. Then I had to do it to my mom when she was fighting stage 4 cancer. It's a kindness and a nightmare all at the same time.
I was dead for 8 minutes before being resuscitated, my last words were "eff you" not going into the specifics but medical malpractice to the extreme.
Is this a joke??
@elile8567 no unfortunately not. I have a ton of neurological issues after that.
I like to imagine you told the reaper that.
Cat Pope would like to know what it is like
Oh this is fucking amazing and I'm glad to hear it! Thank you for choosing to live!
The husband kissing her hand as his last action made me cry on another level
My mother was dying qt age 95 because her mitral valve would no longer close.She could talk but could not hear or see. I was at her side stroking her hair along with my niece. Suddenly my mother looked at me and said "I have to go now. My brother's here." and let out a long sigh and died. Her brother had been dead for twenty years. I will never forget this.
It’s bittersweet in a way
a few of these stories reminded me of my grandma. She was suffering with cancer and sadly passed away on the 26th of December a few years back, despite the doctors saying she's getting better just the day before. I believe that she pushed through so she wouldn't pass on on Christmas and would instead pass on on Saint Steven, which was the name of her late husband.
2:06 I know exactly what this nurse means. My beloved budgie sky was losing a battle to some unidentified sickness and the vets were closed for the weekend (anyone who's ever kept birds knows that they hide their sicknesses very well until right at the last minute, where they don't have the energy to pretend anymore). The night before she wanted to come out of her cage to say hi. When she did, her beak and feet were cold. I knew she must have been very, very sick.

I rushed over and there she was sprawled out on the floor, kicking with her feet and beak to make as much noise as possible. As soon as I scooped her up (she was too weak to stand) she calmed down, I spoke to her softly through my sobs, and within a couple minutes she was gone. Its strange how people can hold off death sometimes until they've said goodbye, until they know its okay to go, but I've seen it myself and I know that it's true. She was the sweetest most loving little girl, I'm so glad I got to say goodbye.
These are the sort of doctors and nurses that all 🏥 hospitals needs , medical personnel who can show compassion for the patients in the hospital 🏥. They do a wonderful job 🧑🔬🧑⚕️ .
When I was little (like 4 or 5) my grandpa died of cancer his last words were “Margret Lindsay (my grandmas and mums name) I love you and tell Holly (my name) she’s perfect” I cry myself to sleep a lot because of that
oh this is actually just lovely really....thinking about how much love that man had in him for his girls that his last thoughts and energy were to express that love to you all.
The most encouraging last words I heard were relayed at my Grandfather's funeral. My grandfather had multiple differing coronary/circulatory issues until he passed. On the night he died he realized something was wrong when he couldn't get out of his recliner. My grandma called EMS like they had done about a half a dozen times before. This time though it was too late. Before the first responders and firefighters pulled up my grandfather turned to my grandmother and uncle and said "They're telling me I can't live anymore". My uncle and grandmother were the only people in the room and emergency services were still being dispatched. They asked my grandfather who is telling him that. He said "everyone is telling me that. I'm sorry I have to go." He made that last statement and lost consciousness. The police (small town and the cops are always getting to scenes first since they're on the clock), first responders/firemen (volunteers), and medics (professional paramedics) tried as hard as they could to resuscitate but nothing worked. I've always been somewhat skeptical of religion and the afterlife. Right up until my uncle told me that story. I believe my grandfather saw what was waiting for him when he passed. He was on that threshold between life and death or the bridge between this life in the next or whatever you want to call it. He looked at what waited and he saw everyone he loved that had gone before waiting on the other bank. I believe that there will be something after this life. When my time comes I am sure he'll be with everyone waiting for me to keep that last appointment.
It’s quite common that nearing death people see or hear deceased loved ones. My mother in law had a few episodes of this before she actually died. She sat in her chair and raised her arms, then seem to come back to herself.
You may be shocked by this, but the patient was my Mom! I was off duty (for the duration! Anyway, I was assisting the Hospice CNA do Mom's bath. She was totally out of it, basically "comatose" but I talked to her anyway! So I was (trying not to cry &...), apologizing; "I know this hurts"; "we're almost done, etc, but that last thing she said broke my heart! I had said, "I'm so sorry!" again. Her eyes opened wide & looked right into mine & said, "no, you're not"! I died inside, & stayed that was for years! Finally some one said to me, "you know. She was probably joking!" Then I remembered her & her humor, & said, "you are right ya know.. She loved to tease!!
I assume you already know this but when you get older a lot of times you will say things or even do things that you dont mean. Its part of getting older.
My grandpa’s last words were asking me to sing him his favorite song again.
Edit: I’d also like to add another family member’s last words. He was my grandma’s niece’s husband. He was dying (don’t remember what from) and on hospice. He had been bedridden for a week or two at that point. All of a sudden, he stood up and said, “Lord, if you want to take me, I’m ready.” He then fell back into the bed and died.
Wow! So sad and sweet at the same time! 😢 😊
@@perrobravoperocastrado2286 I know! We also didn’t know those were his last words at the time. He passed a week later, but he was unconscious for pretty much that entire week. He didn’t say anything else after that. It ended up becoming my favorite song as well after he passed, largely due to that being his last words.
@@Maria-jq3zvdid you sing his favorite song??
@@pocket3216 Yes, I did.
@@Maria-jq3zv thats good :)
I was a nurse assistant in my late teens and will never forget the last words of a man dying of cancer. " The flames are licking at my feet. Oh it burns!" He never wanted prayers or mention of God during his stay. Made me realize Hell is real.
The stark reality is once we die we are ushered into the righteous judgment of the Most High God, and there are only two possible outcomes. One is eternal life with the LORD through grace by faith in Christ Jesus, or eternal punishment in hell and eventually the lake of fire at the White Throne Judgment in the Book of Revelation.
"i don't like that guy in the black suit..." HOOOO BOY that was the grimm reaper!
Yeah. It was.
My grandma died just before her 100th birthday, she was absolutely ready to go and I know I'll see her again.
my mom's last words were "GET ME CHEESE!! NOW!!"
she's lactose intolerant to death.
@annistar9693 of course she did that's why they were her mom's last words
So my friend isn't dead but has pretty bad brain damage and can't walk, talk, eat, or really anything on her own. She's slowly making progress but still anyways, the accident happened when me and her were in 3rd grade. She was in a car crash that caused her injuries. I remember seeing her in the hospital and she wasn't really even able to make noise or move. It was hard but even now I'm in high school and I still go visit her. The thing that broke me a little was hearing from her mother (amazing woman) that it was always obvious that my friend preferred red haired nurses. To this day any medical staff she sees with red hair she really loves. As a kid I had red hair. I now color it but just knowing she recognizes that as me makes me cry every time I think about it. She was my best friend and I wish we could have grown up together normally. I see people treat her like a child still and I hate it. I treat her like any one of my other friends. I do her make up, nails, hair and gossip with her about my school life. Because she is still a person and a teenager for that matter she should get to feel normal even if she's never gonna fully recover which is the hardest to think about.
You are a blessing, she is blessed to have friend like you.
When my (adoptive) grandmother was dying, I came from out of state to visit her. I was young, about 12, and didn't know how sick she was. I was shocked to see how frail she looked, but I assumed she was getting better, because the first thing she did was beam at me, hold out her arms, and say "Hi, Angel!" (Her nickname for me.) We talked and laughed and when I left I told her I loved her SO MUCH and I'd be back soon. She died three days later. I was told she had barely spoken at all before I came. I'll never forget how she rallied for me. I'm so grateful. I miss you, Rhoda. You're MY angel till we meet again.
Nurse in UK. I was working in a small “cottage hospital” caring for elderly patients undergoing rehab before going home. One night while I did the bedtime medicine round, one man said to me, “I don’t need those, I’ll be dead by the morning.” I made light of it, because I was young & inexperienced & didn’t believe him. He seemed fine during regular rounds overnight, but on switching the lights on in the morning he was indeed (recently) dead. I wished that I had asked him for any messages for his relatives.
Sometimes they need permission to take the next step. Sometimes they are waiting for their loved ones to come back and help them to cross.
so true. My grandma was 89 when she died and our whole family was there with her, she had been incapacitated for quite some time. After being there all day and listening to my 2 oldest aunts holding her hands caressing her and saying "its ok mom, just another breath" I had had enough. I got upset with them and said "stop saying that to her, she is a old woman with a long life, she does not want to be like this anymore, stop asking her to keep fighting, she is only doing it for you 2 adults." One of them left to use the washroom and I was by my grammy and just gently told her I loved her so much and then "everything is ok grammy, everyone will be ok, we will all miss you and we all love you, but its ok to go now, you dont need to fight anymore, its ok to go now." She was gone about 30 minutes later.
she was the only grandparent that I really knew and I miss her but I think she needed to hear it was ok to go....she would also have chuckled at me blowing up at my aunts. I am the oldest grandkid and was her only girl for 13 years so received some different attention than my 8 boy cousins. We had a great relationship and I hope when I have grandkids I am able to be like her....she even got to meet 7 or 8 of her great-grandkids.
The scary thing about death is that it can at anytime happen to anyone, even if it's much rarer than dying when you're old or unhealthy.
Story 4. As a nurse myself, this is exactly what I say. I tell the patient “It’s ok, everybody will understand and be ok. It’s ok to go.” I can’t even begin to count how many times in my 15 years I’ve held the hand of somebody that passes away. I have spent hours of the night sitting with patients so their families could get some much needed sleep, and have been with many when they draw their last breath. I always make sure to reassure them that they can go. It’s one of the most heartbreaking parts of the job, but the comfort that you can bring them in their final moments is also very rewarding. Nobody should die alone, and this is one thing that I make sure to tell new staff, students, and families to reassure them that their loved one will not be alone.
Being right with Jesus is of the utmost importance. May God bless you all.
Just listening to these stories tears me up. I couldnt do this job. Thank you to all the brave nurses for the work they do
It's.. not haunting at all, but as my mother was being wheeled away to have a blood clot from what would ultimately be a fatal stroke removed from her brain, I called out to her that I loved her, and the last thing she ever said was "I love you too, stay strong!"
She fell into a coma the next day, she was expected to die 1-2 days later.
That stubborn old bat toughed it out for 9 days, she clearly didn't want to die on her birthday, or mine, which would have been the next day, and the day before she died, respectively. I can only hope I'll be as stubborn as she was when it's time for me to go.
“Just gimme 2 days. Gotta end on a happy note”
“Your father is here with my coat, it’s time to go”. My patient to her daughter. Patient’s husband had died several years before. Right after saying this, she closed her eyes and died. 😢❤
11:11 My grandfather was in and out of the hospital he liked the nurses and understood he needed to be there. then COVID hit.... He was in the hospital when no one was allowed in(He didn't have COVID) he was discharged and went home for a few weeks when his health took a turn... He flipped out the second the word "Hospital" was said.... Something happened that last visit.... I never saw or heard that man being afraid until that moment... He lived for a few more months until he went comatose, home hospice. he got to pass in his home...
Story 4: this is Something I do too. Just a few days ago I chaperoned an elderly Woman over to the next adventure. Her breathing was so shallow, her Heart Rate slowed, but her eyes were Open, unseeing, or better Not seing this world anymore. I Held her Hand for Like 30 Minutes, told her, she is Not alone, she May leave in Peace, im Here for her. I dont let my patients die alone, If I can manage... (Im an ICU nurse)
Always has been my philosophy. Nobody should die alone.
Story 9 😢
She's been waiting for a young man for a very long time, and she's ready to see him again 😭 she knows he's gone, so she probably kept in touch during her later years... or worse, he died young.
Everytime someone likes this comment I REMEMBER HOW SAD THIS STORY WAS....lost love in times of racial segregation and jim crow really pulls at the heart strings.... imagine being a youth and being in love, wanting to marry, and the whole country telling you NO DON'T YOU DARE! With someone around your own age, with someone who has all the capability to be with you and good for you, because some people are so cruel. And everyone was a bit more decent back then. When people got married they stayed married. She probably had to age into her 40s and the end of segregation and jim crow laws watching her love marry another woman as she married another man.
When the nurse said he hadn't really even remembered the little boy who said he was his favourite. I just want to say that that's ok! As a nurse you have to separate yourself mentally from becoming too overly attached/too involved in cases or you will emotionally burn out. It doesn't mean you are a bad nurse, or aren't treating patients with empathy and compassion. You are just protecting yourself, if you didn't you would lose your mind.
Well apparently the guy treated all of his patients very well!
My great-grandmothers last words were "what's paw doing in that corner"
Paw' was her father she passed in her nursing home with as much family could be there❤💙
My grandmother passed away at the beginning of the year and the night before she passed away, her last words to her children (my mom and my uncle) were "You don’t have to come to the hospital tomorrow"
I had a woman ask me if it was okay if she died. I told her it was if she was ready. I came back ten minutes later and she was gone. I had been a nurse for like 4 weeks at the time and went home and cried hysterically because of the…..immensity of it? I hope she’s flying high. ❤
Loved your stories but got a headache after having to watch those crazy graphics.
Oh God the nasogastric tube got me. It’s so incredibly stupid, such a completely unnecessary and preventable thing and it cost someone their life. And yet, it’s something I can totally see happening. I’ve seen plenty of patients with dementia who were at high risk of doing something like this, and here somebody actually died because they were playing with the tube.
At least this was an accident made by the patient. There was an incident in Brazil once where the nurse mixed up the feeding tube with the IV tube. I'll...spare you the details of what happened that day.
@@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness that’s not even supposed to be possible… the connectors are different. Maybe not Brazil?
My parents were married for 64 years, most of them with my Dad in the pulpit as a Minister; he passed about a month after their last Anniversary. Ten months later, about a month before the date of their next anniversary rolled around, my mother was admitted to hospital and it was discovered that all we could do was comfort care. My sister, hubby, and myself stayed almost three weeks with her 24/7 with my grown children coming each day to spell us off a bit. One night, just after my sister stepped out to make a cup of tea, my mother - who had been unintelligible since the breathing tube was pulled - looked over my shoulder and clearly and brightly declared “Oh look, there’s your father”. Considering Dad had passed 11.5 months before, but knowing he had ALWAYS made a point to be with parishioners when they crossed, the possibility seemed all too real in my mind! Being the chicken that I am, however, I chose to not turn my head and just said, “Well of course, Ma. Where else would he be?” She smiled, laid her head back down, and passed away. To this day, I kinda regret not turning around!
One, if not the last thing one of my sisters Sis-in-Laws heard her husband say as he was barely kept alive in the hospital was ‘it’s so beautiful here’.
She decided to let him go after she heard that. He was only 33.
That's too young. So sorry.
I will remember this phone call forever. Made from the hospital, my grandmother called my mom to tell us my great-grandfather passed away. He was 90. I couldn’t hear the other end but I immediately knew what had happened.
“Yeah? Oh my god- oh no. He was a really nice man. Yeah. Oh my god. Alright, bye”
That was my mom standing right next to me. She ran upstairs crying. I followed her, we hugged it out for a straight 5 minutes without moving, both of us crying.
My great-grandfather was in the hospital recovering from a fall he had in his kitchen. He was in perfect health 3 days before he died but suddenly one day he went to sleep and never woke up. He was unconscious for 2 days if I remember correctly. My grandmother and her siblings were standing next to his stretcher and watched his final breath. I still tear up 3 years later remembering the last time I visited, the summer the same year he passed.
May they rest in peace
When I was a student nurse, there was a patient on the ward who had been in a coma for a week or so. When a friend student and I passed her room one morning, we were surprised to find her awake and sitting up in the bed. She told us, "hand me my slippers. I have to leave." She died later that day.
My patient, who had been recovering well from a heart attack, told me she felt a sense of doom and that she was going to die that night. She had been completely stable. She got out of bed to take a walk around the hall. Had her telemetry monitor on. All of a sudden I heard a shout from the tele technician screaming to check on her as she was n ventricular fibrillation. She coded and died. I never doubted a patient again if they said that.
I enjoyed the stories but the background graphics were extremely annoying. My husband has seizures and couldn’t watch because it made him feel sick.
I'm really touched how wonderful these health care workers are. My father and mother have been in the field their entire professional lives. It makes my heart swell with pride knowing they work in this field and have been there for patients in times like these. If you are a health care worker, please remember you are seeing these patients in some of their weakest moments. They may sound personal, but it isn't personal. They're grateful for you, even if they don't know it.

I’ve loved her for 55 years, she was my whole life, my everything 😢
*WE HAVE A DISCORD!!!!*
I loved her for 55 years what will I do without here... ): WE NOW HAVE A DISCORD!!! 😆
Critical Care RN here - Caring for a terminally ill woman in ICU, I brought her some morphine for her pain. She looked up at me with pain filled eyes and said “Is that the death shot?” I cried, and she fell asleep and faded away. 😢
I like your stories but the video game graphics are so annoying and make me sick to my stomach from dizziness.
This would have been easier to follow without the background moving around so much. I am now having motion sickness.
why do i do this to myself and watch these
im fucking depressed now
Me too 😂
in a weird way it makes me feel... less depressed
If I was on my deathbed talking to someone I would say "somebody's gonna look through my diary.....don't let them" 👹
Actually nowadays it will be more like… ‘Don’t let them see my search history…’ ☠️
Dn nevermind don't let them see my dark side of my phone
@@perrobravoperocastrado2286 Fire Department Chronicles (RUclips shorts) has an episode about that!
"Whatever you do, don't look in the..."
My dad died recently. My brother wishes he could have understood what my dad tried to tell him the night before he died, but dad had alzheimers and didn't really make sense most of the time, unfortunately. I hope it doesn't haunt him not knowing what dad was trying to say...
The last thing my grandfather said to me was "please get me out of here.."
I started crying. I was holding his hand in the hospital room.
If I had to choose my last words, it would be "I'm scared but I'm not afraid" or "Bury me facing the west, so I can watch the setting sun".
Cannot bear the visual you seem to really like. It does something strange to the brain/eyes, and it interferes with focusing on the stories.
my christian uncle served the Lord up until he passed the ppl that looked after him and looked up to him like a grandad/dad said uncle said to them see Jesus hes coming im getting teary as i text this they said no he said yeh hes coming next day he passed away this is a true story when they had his funeral my sister said (i couldnt make it to his funeral ) when they were lowering his coffin down my sister said i looked up into the sky there was no cloud that day but she said at that moment i looked up an a cloud was in the shape of Jesus on the cross i kid u not i said thats beautiful i said to her well he honoured the Lord all his life til his passing and that day Lord honoured him amen true story ppls not made up

The carer in this one is truly compassionate; allowing the last communications to this passing patient to be that of his wife is so kind. 😢
Patient tells you there's a man you can't see sitting there? Tell it to get out, in Jesus name.
@annistar9693 Then it won't matter much, will it? But that wasn't Jesus.
@@King-Maelstrom-the-Esoteric It was Death. And I don't mean rhetorically, metaphorically, theoretically or in any other fancy way.
I'm sorry.
my mums a nurse.
she used to work in Princess Margaret Children Hospital is what it was called i think in Western Australia.
she has ghost stories of her own. there used to be a facebook page dedicated to ghost photos, though i think it got archived or deleted.
anyway, there was this room where everyone felt off. like, colder and shit. some of her friends have reported seeing ghost figures, and feeling they’re watched. epic.
sad they’ve destroyed it. the poor ghosts home. she now works at PCH, and my school has even made blankets for some kids there.
My grandpa died in 2022 due to lung cancer that was discovered way too late. My grandma visited him like everyday and he seemed to recover from the pneumonia. They watched the sunset thru the hospital window and my grandpa turned to my grandma and said "let's go home". She explained to him that she can't do that since he's still sick but will visit him again tomorrow. He died that night in his sleep.
Edit: the last time i saw him he was already in the hospital mostly sleeping and unable to speak. I had a panic attack cuz I couldn't handle the fact that he was dying and although I'm not a fan of hugging ppl since it makes me hella uncomfortable i still regret not hugging him but having to leave cuz of the panic attack. At least he didn't notice that I was having a breakdown.
Why do my eyes have to put up with speeding images while trying to read? I have to quit and I would have liked to read the stories.
I found it hard to watch this, not because of the subject matter, but because of the background spinning and jumping around.
Great stories but the background made me nauseous.
My worst last words from a patient ON oxygen. Grabbing my arms and screaming in my face “
My Dying wish is a cigarette”. And I was not able to give her one.
It really upset me
I may or may not keep a pack of cigarettes that may or may not be for this purpose….
My last words are gonna be some shi like “the voices are telling me your next” and then just flat line to scare the shit out of them
This is now my absolute favorite of these channels.
My mother was slowly dying after a stroke. I visited her on a Sunday and as I left she said “ see you next week”. I lived and worked in a town 5 hours away and had planned to visit again in 2 weeks. She died on the following Wednesday. So I saw her the “next week”.
A friend of mine was out with his buddy for a night of drinking. For some reason or another he got pissed and got in his car a took off fast as that car would go. So my friend took off after him. The next thing my buddy noticed a dust storm and was water hitting his car. The dust was pieces of the car and radiator fluid. His friend was ejected from the car and my friend ran to him and was telling hold on he calling for help. His friends eyes were closed and for an instant he woke up and said “What the f***” and that was the end. I always wondered what he seen to make him say that.
I skipped to a random part on accident and saw on screen “Sadly, we can’t take people against their will.” ( 10:59 )
Mine would've been. Finally, I'm free.
My grandma before she passed handed us fifty 1 dollar bill each as a prank on Christmas then about four months later she passed and somehow a few minutes before we were told our tire some how got slashed by a large sharp object but we couldn't find anything still a joke in the family she was behind it when she passed one last prank
I can’t watch these videos because the background gives me a major headache! 😢
ngl, these stories make me teary eyed but i’d definitely say as i die, depending if i die before my bff; I’m going to haunt the shit outta my friend
Your background rapid videos are give me migraines and are possible to trigger seizures in sensitive people. I cannot watch and listen to your site unless you change your system.
damn ok
this isn't meant to be rude but maybe a different channel would be better suited for you? there's many reddit story channels out there and some of them don't have background videos! or try watching with the screen off?
Mine will be "The gold is under the......".
0:29 I was laughing so hard why did you put that there
Its actually crazy, because we seem to always just know when we're going to pass away, just before it happens
The looking better all of a sudden is called the surge. Patients suddenly start looking better and it tends to give families false hope. If they keep recovering this isn't the surge.
If they pass within days to minutes of rebounding then that's what it was.
It has different names depending on who you ask.
I was a helicopter flight nurse. My paramedic partner was in the ER, transferring care of our patient to the ER staff. I was just outside the ER, cleaning our gurney, preparing for our next flight.
An Asian woman comes into the nearby waiting room. She announces, "Jones family, Jones family." Several family members gather in front of her, eager for news of their loved one. She puts her hands together 🙏, does a shallow bow of acknowledgment. She then states, "So sorry, he dead now." Then she turned around and walked away.
SERIOUSLY. WOW . DID I JUST WITNESS THAT? I will never forget that night.
Hate the changing backround. Hurts my eyes.
If any of my sisters and brothers passed id be a crying mess
Hate the background constant motion, makes you feel sick
If I were dying, my last words would be “that’s all folks… “ and die. That’s it
Can’t watch the background,
Had to tap out after story 10 because of sobbing.
I didnt know dying would be so painful (my mum)
I’m sorry but story 6 had impeccable comedic timing
'' It breaks me up everytime.. '' We now have a discord ! ☺☺
"Hello, old friend....you're late. See you all later."
for story 10 what your father saw was the Grim Reaper patiently waiting for him to pass
Please change the backgrounds on these videos! It's too much.
4:00 i laughed out loud. He/she just decided "if she isn't with me, then i wont be either!" Best story out of all of these.
Edit: best story out of this video**
I hid 1,000,000 dollars under the.............
when my grandpa passed away, i was at the different country,having fun at concert. i didn't even realised my mom called me because you know, concert just loud af. i went back to the hotel charge my phone and saw few texts from my mom from "papa (grandpa) is in critical condition", "papa needs life support. please come back, he's searching for you" and last one "he passed away". i've arrived home 3 days later because i'm from asia and i went to US with friends. up til now, it scares me just to leave my house in case there's an emergency again.
nah, there was no way for you to physically make it back in time
The stories are interesting, but I need dramamine from the graphics.
4:08 Sorry to hear about your friend's death.Why did blood start "pouring from his mouth" if he died of heart failure and acute myordarditis?
Wrong or additional diagnosis?
Nurse here - I don’t honestly know why either, but I’ve had patients mouths fill up with blood during cpr that needs to be suctioned away. These pts haven’t survived
A long time ago the Russians did some experimentation, more like monitored visually and with available machinery. Upon death every patient lost a few ounces (feel free to substitute grams or whatever they use). It was based on speculation of the soul. I had a little springer spaniel that a visiting 13 year old bully kicked in the stomach. The vet said he had ruptured her bowels and had to be put to sleep. I stayed with her with my hands on her side and neck. I actually felt something through my hands as she left. Sounds crazy, I’m not. It was nothing I had never felt before…. I couldn’t have made the feeling up. It was like a light buzzing, but not that harsh feeling of electricity. Imagine the feeling a bit more than a feather.
My Dalmatian died at 15. She was in her basket and had previously come said goodbye. I knew she was dying so did she. When she was sleeping in her basket I told her I had to go to the bathroom and wheeled myself up the ramp( in wheelchair). She immediately watched me go until I was out of sight then went to sleep. A small orb then appeared followed by another near the edge of her basket. They spun around with joy and took off and disappeared. When I came back she had passed away, I saw the orbs on the ring camera and I knew she had some one collect her. A small little dog who passed away years before who was her best friend perhaps. But two orbs it was. Her name was Angel and I still miss her.
That's incredible ❤
