Once again lending to the spirituality of what happens beyond the grips of life, many people see this as a way people are comforted before passing on and joining their loved ones who have left before them. “Sometimes it’s through a dream, sometimes they physically see them, and they’ll actually ask us ‘do you see what I’m seeing.’” "It usually happens a month or so before the patient dies, they start seeing dead relatives, dead friends, old pets that have passed on, spirits, angels, that are visiting them and only they can see them,” she explains. The second phenomenon that McFadden talks about in another TikTok refers once again to patients who are near death but doesn’t refer to this one by a name. Dying patients may also see dead loved ones. It’s become a medical mystery that many tie into their spiritual beliefs, since the idea that brains that are severely damaged could easily return to a state of “normalcy” is scientifically impossible. German researcher Michael Nahm has been studying the phenomenon and seeks to find out more about what he calls “terminal lucidity.”Īccording to his studies, people have been reporting the phenomenon for over 250 years - 84 percent of those who experience it die within the week, with half of that dying that very day. ‘The rally’ is also known as ‘terminal lucidity.’

Several people in the comments of the TikTok referenced an episode of hit TV Show Grey’s Anatomy, where the doctors called it “the surge” when Mark Sloan, one of the main characters in the show, woke up after becoming unresponsive following a plane crash. “The rally” happens often - according to McFadden, it happens to around a third of the patients in hospice care, and it’s so common that they educate the families beforehand that this might happen “so it doesn’t devastate them when they suddenly pass after doing so well for a few days." “But then, usually, they die within a few days after this, sometimes even that night.”
“They act like their old selves, they have a little more of a personality, king of laughing, talking, joking,” she explains. Someone in the comments shared that their mother who had Alzheimer’s had this happen to her - she remembered everything and laughed with her daughter, telling her she loved her before she left. They’ll start walking, talking, eating, and making people think that maybe they were never sick in the first place. “ 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,’” she says. The hospice nurse explained “the rally” phenomenon that happens before death. Under the TikTok username, hospicenursejulie, McFadden shares all of the experiences she has working in hospice care - tackling taboo subjects like death and dying in hopes to spread awareness about how our bodies take care of us and alleviating some anxieties people may have.
McFadden has a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and is a registered nurse who worked in an ICU for over a decade before becoming a hospice nurse, where she has worked for 5 years and continues to work at. “Here’s one phenomenon that happens during the death and dying process that medical professionals, like myself, cannot explain,” Julie McFadden opens.
