People have reacted emotionally after a hospice nurse shared a “phenomenon” she’s witnessed throughout her career in palliative and intensive care units.
The nurse gave an insight into the phenomenon known as "the rally" more than a third of people experience just before they pass away. Those who have technically died for a short time and been brought back to life have attested to experiencing something similar, BirminghamLive reports.
Many people often talk about a calm, a sense of peace washing over them. Julie McFadden, who has spent her career working in palliative and intensive care units, revealed on TikTok she has seen the phenomenon known as 'the rally' several times.
She explained: "Here's one phenomenon that happens during the death and dying process that medical professionals, like myself, cannot explain. This is when someone is really sick and almost towards actively dying, meaning dying within a few days, and then suddenly they look like they are 'better'.
"This can manifest in different ways but a lot of times they suddenly will eat, they'll suddenly talk, maybe even walk, they act like their old selves. They have a little more of a personality kind of laughing, talking joking but then usually they die within a few days after this, sometimes even that night and it happens to probably a third of our hospice patients so it happens quite a bit. We try to educate the family about this before it happens so it doesn't devastate them when they suddenly pass after doing so well for a few days."

Her followers commented enthusiastically, with many agreeing they had witnessed 'the rally'. One shared: "As a Hospice Nurse, I tell the family that I believe it is nature's way of giving them time to say goodbye/ enjoy/or complete unfinished business." Another TikTok user wrote: "Yes! my husband got on the lawn mower and mowed "I love you" into the lawn for me and he passed 3 days later."
