An ICU nurse shares common words and sentiments expressed by patients in their final moments, highlighting a sense of spiritual awareness before death.
In a recent discussion, Kirsty Roberts, a 29-year-old nurse from Florida, reveals the poignant words often uttered by patients as they approach death. Working in an ICU for four years, she has witnessed many patients take their final breaths and has been present during their last moments. Roberts notes that often, patients experience a kind of 'spiritual change' that is difficult for medical science to fully explain. This transformative experience can provide a sense of peace as they near the end.
Through a viral social media video viewed by over six hundred thousand people, Roberts observes that many patients tend to express similar sentiments just before passing away. Regardless of their outward condition, many patients seem to have a premonitory awareness of their impending death. Common phrases include messages of love towards family and expressions of discomfort, indicating an understanding of their situation that is both heart-wrenching and profound.
The insights provided by Roberts not only shed light on the emotional aspects of dying but also encourage conversations about a topic many prefer to avoid. Her experiences remind us of the humanity present in healthcare, urging society to reflect on the emotional and spiritual dimensions of death, and fostering a dialogue that could help families find closure in their loved ones' last moments.
