About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What if we didn’t consider death the worst possible outcome? What if we discussed it honestly, embraced end-of-life care and prepared for the end of our lives with hope and acceptance?

In this empathetic and knowledgeable guide, TikTok star Julie McFadden – known online as ‘Hospice Nurse Julie’ – shares the valuable lessons she’s learned in her fifteen years as a palliative care nurse. Expertly weaving emotional insight with practical advice, you’ll find out:

  • which medical interventions help and which make things worse
  • facts and myths about hospice care
  • the most important conversations to have before you die
  • the many inexplicable and fascinating deathbed experiences people have
  • how to navigate the grieving journey, before and after death

Set to become a go-to resource for years to come, Nothing to Fear shows how a better death goes hand-in-hand with a better life.

It's not going to make you feel any good to be honest except for the near death experience chapter.

If you want to be planning on whether you want a feeding tube on your death bed then maybe read this book.

It's quite off putting all the plans to be made in place for your death. Just get cremated and have it done with.

As for fear, don't people realise that once all your senses go you'll know nothing about it!

Depressing read but I understand that this is a manual for your deathbed but if you've no family then it's not much use.

What will be will be with regards your care.

I've warned you though, it will leave a dark cloud over you for a few days.

What's that saying, you might get knocked over by a bus tomorrow and this will have been a waste of time!
