It occurs in ‘approximately a third’ of all dying patients and can be upsetting if you are not prepared.
A hospice nurse has been raising awareness about a bizarre phenomena that occurs only a few days, if not hours, before ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ.
Julie McFadden, a palliative and intensive care nurse in Los Angeles, has been educating her social media followers on what actually occurs when someone ᴅɪᴇs.
Specifically, there is a rather common occurrence in persons who are ready to ᴅɪᴇ that may perplex – or even grieve – their loved ones.
McFadden said she’s seen this phenomenon in about a third of her hospice patients, and if you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan, you may recall a sh0cking episode in which fan-favorite character Mark Sloan aka McDreamy (Eric Dane) experienced what is known as ‘the rally’ or ‘terminal lucidity’ just before his death.

McFadden mentioned in a video that a person who is ready to ᴅɪᴇ may experience a sudden rush of energy and resume their normal speech and behavior.
