Hospital worker urges people to learn important lesson after hearing patient's last words on deathbed

A hospital worker has sent a message out to people about their loved ones who might be at the end of their days.

There is still a lot of stigma around death, and several end-of-life workers have made a point of rebuking the theories and fears around the process.

A hospice nurse has previously shared that people often see someone that they love that might have died earlier in their life before passing on, as well as other several phenomena that has made her believe in the afterlife.

But at the end of the day, the truth is that there's a lot about death that we just don't understand, and it is still looked at as a time that scares most.

Losing a loved one is a tough time for most, mentally and emotionally, however, a thread on Reddit has revealed the experiences of those that are usually by a lot of patients' sides when they die - hospital workers.

The thread asked: "Hospital workers, what regrets do you hear from dying patients?"

Some shared that there were fathers wishing they had been better to their kids, while others said that they regretted not taking better care of their health when they were younger, but someone had a general rule that she found with their patients.

The social media user wrote: "Some people just want you to let them go. I had a man with terminal cancer break down crying after his daughters left the room because they wanted him to 'keep fighting' and he just wanted to rest and pass peacefully.

"Learn when to let go."

It is easier said than done obviously, but it is easy for loved ones to forget the pain that they're going through because letting go is really difficult.

And other users replied to the comment in agreement.

One person said: "My mom (a nurse) has seen this time and again. She wishes people would be more realistic and compassionate to the actual suffering their loved one is going through for a few extra days or hours."

A second wrote: "One of the things my dad always reminds me is that there are worse things than death."

A third commented: "So, so true. I’ve been working at a nursing home for years, can’t even say how many cases of this I’ve seen..."

Meanwhile a fourth said: "I've seen that happen first hand, whilst I understand it's hard to cope with a loved one dying before your eyes the best thing you can do is make their last days as tranquil and calm as possible.

"If you have to break down, leave the room first."
