End-of-life nurse shares the most disturbing behaviors seen in those nearing death

By

-

Julie McFadden is a hospice nurse who has witnessed a number of deaths throughout her life. Very often, she speaks of the reality of dying in an attempt to help people understand the process of leaving this world through the behaviors seen in those nearing death.

It is her mission to “alleviate the fear and stigma around death.”

She has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families navigate the final stages of life. Alongside her professional work, Julie has authored a book and built a significant social media presence. She’s focusing on themes of death and dying.

In the videos she posts on the social media, she shares insights of the last moments of life of her patients – from their last words and their biggest regrets, to certain behaviors they display.

Speaking of some of the most disturbing moments the loved ones of the dying person experience are the changes in breathing at the person who is about to live the world.

This is known as Cheyne–Stokes breathing, happening as a result of metabolic changes in the body.

These changes are normal, and even if they take place, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the patient is suffering. However, their loved ones understand it as a suffering and most of them say it’s something they “wished they would have known about.”

“You can see that chest rapidly breathing, and then a long pause […] and then rapid breathing again,” she explained.

Another of the behaviors seen in those nearing death, as explained by Julie is the “death rattle.”

This happens when the mouth creates saliva but the brain doesn’t communicate to the body to teel it to swallow it, leading to a strange gurgling noise.

“People hear it, they don’t understand it, they automatically assume it’s coming from their lungs. That is not happening. It’s truly just a little bit of saliva,” Julie explained.

“This is not making them feel that they are suffocating, and we know this because the body is showing that it is relaxed,” she added.

According to her, human bodies are built to know how to prepare themselves for dying.

Researchers claim to have found proof of the ‘soul’ leaving the body at death

By

Monica Pop

-

The question of whether the soul is leaving the body the moment a person dies has been a subject of debate for centuries. However, a recent study reveals that this is exactly what happens.

So far, in order to address this topic from a scientific point of view, researches have studies near-death experiences (NDEs), reports of out-of-body experiences, and studies on the body’s energy changes at the time of death.

However, the study discussed by Dr Stuart Hameroff, anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona, captured the brain activity of clinically dead patients.

For the sake of the study, scientists placed small sensors on the brains of seven extremely sick patients moments before they were taken off life support. This enabled scientists to captured each patient’s blood pressure and heart before it ultimately dropped to zero and the person passed away.

Ultimately, an electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded a strange burst of energy that occurred right after death.

“They saw everything go away and then [psh] you got this activity when there was no blood pressure, no heart rate,” Dr Hameroff shared with Project Unity.

“So that could be the near-death experience, or it could be the soul leaving the body, perhaps.”

The expert suggests that the detected movement could be consciousness leaving the body.

“The point is it shows that consciousness is actually, probably, a very low-energy process. This has been a fairly reproducible event—maybe not 100%, but about 50% of patients show this when you measure it,” he added.

Researchers of the study argue that these bursts could be a result of the brain being deprived of oxygen.

Dr Hameroff discussed the theory on The Science Channel’s documentary series Through the Wormhole.

“Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing; the microtubules lose their quantum state,” he said.

“The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.

“If the patient is resuscitated, or revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says ‘I had a near-death experience.”

“If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”

The researchers stated: “In our critical care practice, we spend a significant amount of time with grieving families. In these interactions, we have found that the idea that ‘something’ happens at the time of death is comforting to the families.”

11-year-old commits suicide after receiving ICE threats from schoolmates

By

Monica Pop

School police has been investigating the death of 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza whose mom claims committed suicide after receiving threats by classmates to report her family to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The young girl died on February 8, five days after her mother discovered her unresponsive in their family home.

“All week I’ve been waiting for a miracle – waiting for my daughter to get better,” her mother Marbella Carranza told CNN affiliate KUVN. “But unfortunately there was nothing that could be done.”

Sixth-graders at her school, Gainesville Intermediate School, around 70 miles north of Dallas b*****d Jocelynn for weeks. They had been scaring her with deportation threats, her mother claims.

Allegedly, they told her over and over again that once they deported her entire family, she would be all alone.

Sadly, those threats were too much for Jocelynn to handle and eventually led to her ending her own life.

According to her mother, the family wasn’t aware of the ordeal her daughter was going through because she didn’t show any changes at home, but claimed the school was aware because Jocelynn was seeing a counselor about the issue once or twice a week.

“It appears the school was aware of it all, but they never, they never told me what was happening with my daughter,” the mom said. “It appears she would go once or twice a week to counseling to report what was happening,” she told KUVN.

“(I want) justice because it’s not fair – the school was negligent for not keeping me informed of what was going on with my daughter,” she added.

According to the Independent, the Gainesville Independent School District did not acknowledge the girl’s death. Instead, they issued a statement pointing to its strict anti-bullying code.

“Whenever we receive a report of b******g, we respond swiftly to ensure all students are safe physically and emotionally. While we cannot release any information about specific students or incidents, our schools have several policies in place to combat b******g and resolve conflicts,” the district told CNN in a statement.

Sadly, Jocelynn’s fears grew even bigger with Donald Trump’s administration policy on illegal immigrants, ordering for the “largest deportation operation in American history,” urging ICE as well as other federal agencies to conduct targeted operations against around 12 million undocumented immigrants across the country.

The entire community mourned the death of this precious girl who committed suicide after receiving ICE threats and feared for her family’s future.

Doctor gives stark warning for those kissing men with beard

By

Men with beard are considered attractive. This is because beard has always been associated with masculinity and confidence. Also, it gives those who have it sort of rugged look that is often connected with strength.

However, kissing men with beard or stubble may develop “beard rash” at some people.

Taking to Instagram, Dr. Myro Figura spoke of the issues that may appear when exchanging kisses with bearded men.

“Kissing somebody with a beard can cause an infection? It sure can.

“If not clean, the beard can harbour a lot of bacteria like staph and strep and when kissing the beard can cause breaks in the skin, allowing bacteria to enter and cause an infection called impetigo.”

Impetigo, which is a skin infection that’s very contagious but not usually serious, starts with red sores or blisters, as per NHS.

Eventually, the blisters burst, leaving crusty, golden-brown patches.

“Anyone can get it, but it’s more common in young children. With treatment, impetigo often gets better in a few days,” the side states.

Your GP may suggest a treatment involving hydrogen peroxide cream or antibiotic cream or tablets if it’s more widespread.

For the blisters to get away, it would take around 7 to 10 days, as per NHS.

A similar warning about kissing men with beard has been issued by TikTok dermatologist Muneeb Shah, known as the Derm Doctor. Answering a question of a woman who said her skin got irritated after a kiss with a bearded man, the Derm Doctor said, “Beards carry a tonne of bacteria, and when you rub up against them they create tiny little cuts in the skin, which can lead to infections like impetigo.”

He also urged men to have their beard cleaned regularly, which triggered plenty of comments from men with beard who found themselves sort of offenden.

“Who????? Who doesn’t clean their beard??!?” someone commented.

The comments from women were rather different, with one person writing, “I didn’t know I could be less into facial hair than I was before, but here I am.” Another one added: “Swear some guys can’t do the bare minimum omg.” A third one chimed in: “If he doesn’t clean even his beard, what else is he not cleaning?!”

Their two daughters, who have been left orphaned by this tragedy, have been treated for injuries at a hospital in Egypt.

The two other Russian passengers who died were children, Daily Mail reports.

Through a Facebook post, the Russian embassy in Cairo stated that in fact most of the passengers, if not all, were of Russian origin.

“On March 27, around 10:00, at a distance of 1 km from the shore, an accident of the submersible ‘Sindbad’, belonging to the hotel of the same name occurred.

“The submersible carried out a regular underwater excursions with inspection of the coral reef,” the post read.

A tourist who had been a passenger of the tourist submarine days before it sank stated it was in a “terrible condition.”

According to the Mirror, he told reporters, “The glass was broken and scuffed, and visibility was 50/50. It was difficult to see the fish and the diving show.”

Allegedly, the company owning the Sinbad tourist submarine that sank didn’t keep record of the names of their passengers.

“They simply took money from tourists and sent them underwater without any minimal preparation”, one tourist said, as per the Mirror.

This isn’t the sole incident of this kind. Back in November, a boat named Sea Story sank near the tourist resort of Marsa Alam. It carried 45 people.

Prince Harry ‘in tears’ as King Charles makes brutal new announcement

By

Monica Pop

-

The beginning of May, 2024, marked an important development for the British royal family. Prince Harry landed in London to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. During his stay in his home country, his brother, Prince William, received a significant new honour from King Charles. The timing seemed coincidental, but yet, many saw it as a major snub to Prince Harry.

The announcement from the Palace revealed that King Charles III has appointed Prince William as the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps.

“His Majesty the King will officially hand over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,” the palace’s statement read. “In August 2023, following His Majesty’s Accession, the King was pleased to announce military appointments including that the Prince of Wales would become Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years.”

Royal expert Tom Quinn claims Prince Harry was ‘in tears when he heard’. He added: “What makes it much worse is that the role is being given to the very man who Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems – his brother.

“And the announcement was deliberately made during Harry’s brief visit to the UK to have maximum impact. It shows Harry that he really is no longer welcome.”

William’s new role places him in charge of Harry’s former unit.

In 2008, Harry completed his Army Air Corps “Grading” and Pilot’s Selection Board interview, subsequently training as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009.

“On successful completion of that Army Pilots Course, Prince Harry was selected to train on the Apache Attack Helicopter,” Harry’s official biography before he was removed from the official royal family website read. “On the same day, it was announced that Prince Harry received his provisional wings from his father.” Charles was colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps at the time. This made the ceremony extra meaningful for Harry.

The decision comes during a period of increased public curiosity, partly influenced by the stranded relationship between Prince Harry and King Charles.

During Harry’s most recent visit, he and his father, King Charles, didn’t meet due to the king’s “full programme.”

However, the statement by Prince Harry added that he “hopes to see him soon.”

Harry burnt bridges when it comes to his relationship with his family. Yet, he expressed his happiness about returning to the UK. Regarding the party, he described it as “amazing.” He also praised the work of Scotty’s, emphasizing the incredible and necessary support they provide to children.

“The more opportunity you get to do these kinds of events, the more the families and kids know this place exists which is really the most important thing,” Harry said, as reported by BBC.
