EPISODE 28: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE | Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden
Dying Laughing with Jessimae
Palliative care and hospice nurse Julie McFadden joins Dying Laughing for a calm, honest conversation about death, dying, and what actually matters at the end of life.
Jess and Julie break down the real difference between palliative care and hospice, the biggest misconceptions around both, and why a comfortable death is often tied to privilege, access, and timing. They discuss what dying usually looks like in real life, how families can unintentionally make things harder, and what actually helps loved ones die with more dignity and grace.
They also explore why death itself is often less scary than we imagine and close with a thoughtful reflection on what may happen to us on a spiritual level when we die.
This episode is meant to reduce fear, offer clarity, and help listeners feel more prepared, not just for death, but for living.
