End Of Life Medical Staff Can Predict That Death Is Near When Patients Experience This Pheonomen

Nurses and caregivers are typically the people who witness terminally ill patients in their final days the most. Therefore, they have observed the tell-tale signs that a patient will soon pass many times. In an effort to spread awareness of these signs, nurses have begun sharing their advice on social media sites. Surprisingly, one of these signs is an end-of-life surge of energy, otherwise known as terminal lucidity. In this article, we will dive deeper into this sudden energy surge and discover why it occurs in terminally ill patients.

A Nurse’s Warning About the End-of-Life Surge of Energy

Nurse Ruby Gramlow works for Hospice of the Red River Valley in the United States. She recently wrote about her experiences with patients in their final days on the hospice’s blog. [1] In the blog, she shared the importance of being with loved ones in their final days, as well as certain tell-tale signs that their time may be coming to an end. While many signs of approaching death may seem obvious, there is one that often misleads people into thinking that the patient is actually recovering. They seem to be their old selves again, which typically raises false hope in family members, only for the patient to fall seriously ill shortly afterward. This sudden energy surge is short-lived, typically only lasting anywhere from a couple of minutes to several hours and occurring one or two days before they ultimately pass on.
