Hospice Nurse Julie: Death and Dying Without Fear

Welcome back to TTFIO! Our guest this week, Nurse Julie, attempted to make a dent in curing my lifelong fear of dying. This woman is brilliant. A career hospice nurse, Julie has spent her life taking care of people in their final stages of life. Her approach to life and death is something you have to hear. She talks about her work, how patients feel at the end of life, how families can support them, what hospice care entails, and she gives specific details on how you can help your loved ones when you die. From things as simple as jotting down passwords, to more intricate financial details, Nurse Julie shares all the tips you need, but what no one wants to talk about. Julie is on a mission to normalize conversations around death and dying, and I'm excited to share this episode with you all. Also available as a video podcast on YouTube.
