Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden is using TikTok to teach over 1 million followers what death really looks like.  As a nurse with 15 years of experience in end of life care, she’s seen all the ups and downs of community-based bedside hospice care.  Julie also spent years working in ICU, and learned the intense needs of the dying.  Her book Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully prepares readers for death and dying, with stories interwoven throughout.  Her newest book is The Nothing to Fear Journal: Questions and Reflections for Demystifying and Preparing for the End of Life.  The journal has four sections that give prompts to help the user’s writing process.  The sections cover anything and everything related to dying, including beliefs and fears, how to have end of life conversations, ways to ask for help, and practical tips for planning your own end of life experience.  Who should read the books?  Hospice Nurse Julie says they’re for anyone who’s going to die.
