She has been called the internet’s most compassionate truth-teller on death and dying. As a hospice nurse, bestselling author, and storyteller, Julie McFadden has opened conversations that most of us avoid, reminding us that in looking closely at the end of life, we discover what it really means to live.

In this tender and eye-opening episode, Hospice Nurse Julie joins Sarah Grynberg to demystify what happens at the bedside of the dying, from deathbed visions and the mysterious “death stare,” to why hearing is often the last sense to go. With honesty, grace, and even humour, she shows how death is not just a biological process, but a deeply human one, filled with love, connection, and even beauty.

You’ll learn:

*Why talking openly about death is the key to living more fully.

*The science and spirituality of deathbed visions.

*How showing children death can actually teach them about life.

This episode is a poignant reminder that death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it and that in embracing it, we may just find the courage to live more deeply, truthfully, and lovingly.
