My granddad passed with a smile on his face when he was 93. I was with him earlier in the day and he was raking the leaves of his magnolia tree. I reached for the rake but he told me that he needed to do it because they wouldn’t let him do anything. A few years earlier he told me he wanted me to be his pall bearer. I was honored to be asked. I asked why he chose me and he said all the friends on his previous list had all died. We had a good relationship. We both shared a dry humor. Ahh the memories of that man. I’d love to tell you more but no one wants to read so much rambling. Peace. ❤️

I have had a lifetime of it being assumed that it wasn't by choice, explaining that I'm not cold hearted because I never wanted children, I actually love kids so much I became a primary school teacher but never wanted my own and the worst is implying that it is unbelievable I wasn't snapped up, rather than it being my choice to stay single.

My kids dont come around so why come when Im dying? The comfort of a caregiver, which I need to find out how you do that, and the comfort of a hospice nurse is all I need. I have my Will, durable POA and healthcare surrogate which gives my daughter explicit detail of what I want. Ive bought a cremains plot also. Straight to cremation and bury my ashes. I wanted to make all my decisions not my kids. May the universe bless you Julie for the gentle care you give to the dying, i pray for a Julie to check in on me.

Quite a few ladies have written recently about having never been married or having children. I'm not sure why we all assume that leads to a full life. I have a husband, two kids, several grandkids, some of them adults and two great grand babies. Honest to God, I spend most of my time alone and I do miss them all alot. My husband always wants to be alone. I find it's necessary for me to find things to do by myself to keep myself feeing contented and ok with life. All of us need ot do that, in the face of living or dying. I've got the artistic temperament like Vincent Van Gogh. He was a social misfit but everyone hails him now. He was a very lonely man when he was alive. i guess what I'm trying to say is being married or a mom doesn't gaurantee companionship in old age. Sure not happening for me. Nurse Julie has been a huge comfort and so have the thoughtful comments here. I just love it. Thank you all for the companionship. Oh, I should mention my sister called me today. We decided we need to talk more. She's in another state but it was very sweet and I laughed alot. All is ok as long as we find some kind of joy in our day.

There have been times when there were more spinsters around because many of the men of their generation had been killed in war. That's how my grandmother ended up with grandad, who was no prize- there wasn't much left to choose from, and she was a poor girl, not independent financially- she had to marry to have a roof over her head. Back in the day, getting married was largely a practical matter.

It's sad & scary for so many centuries, women (& very young girls) had to Marry to survive. My grandma was born in 1889. The oldest of 10 children, she was expected to raise her siblings from the age of 5. This turned her off to marriage and having children. At 28, she was considered a spinster but happy. My grandfather tried to court her & was repeatedly rebuffed until she finally agreed and married him at 29. I'm grateful she did because she shared the most wonderful stories about her life! What I started out trying to say was we are lucky to live in an age where we can now choose. No longer need to marry to survive!😅

My experience 3 times with hospice support (mother, father and older sister) was absolutely wonderful. Right away, the nurses, social workers, and after hours phone support were nurturing for me and my relative. They thought of things to do for the patient that I would not have thought of, and allowed me to relax and just focus on my relationships with my dying relative and gathering with sisters. All three of my relatives were in hospice care (at home) for months. Initially hospice staff just visited periodically as needed. But the last two days they were with us all day, monitoring and ordering supplies/meds etc. And at the end, they kind of took over to make the phone calls for transport, prepare the body, and do the legal paperwork. So don't hesitate to ask for help and share your feelings with the gentle staff who really understand what you're going through. Best wishes to you and your family.

When I had my twins she was over the moon super excited and doted on my babies like crazy she loved them so much. Aunt Mary Alice never went to a nursing home!!!

When I was 10 they bought a house together. My three sisters and I celebrated Every Mother's Day with her & Aunt Audrey received Flowers and Gifts just like my Mom. I must say she didn't die as she lived. She could be very stubborn, isolated & there were some arguments. I didn't realize until recently it was probably because of trauma in her younger years. She developed Alzheimer's in her late sixties and turned into the sweetest, kindness, loving person. My mother cared for her until Aunt Audrey died in her 80s.

That was a beautiful story. It sounds like she was very much at peace with no regrets. Full of love and life. She must have done something right. The many stories she told her heart was as beautiful as she was. Thank you for sharing her story with you telling it gave it such a beautiful touch.

As someone who has 3 adult daughters and 6 granddaughters and a great grandchild on the way, I know no other life and I can't imagine my life without them. Maybe for some it is like the saying, you don't miss what you don't have. My MIL is 94 next month and sadly she has lost 3 of her 4 children in their 60's. Great story. I enjoy your videos.

I’m 60, female, married no kids, and very grateful for that! Tried so hard to force myself to want them back when we started out, but I just didn’t. Love my life, no regrets. Have done everything I really wanted to do this far, and hey, being a mom just wasn’t on the list. I call it “child free”, LOL! Love your channel, so helpful and real. 😅❤

I'm 45, still single, never married, no kids. All my immediate family is deceased. I have severe arthritis in my spine, which leaves me prone to severe disability/paralysis if I move wrong. I love being alone, but if I end up medically Incapacitated, I have no one to help. I mean, I have 2 cats, but they don't have opposable thumbs, soooo..... 😬😕 Also... my mom died from aspiration pneumonia from MS 20-something years ago. I helped her cross over. Got my experience with end of life stuff. It doesn't frighten me. I actually wouldn't mind doing palliative care social work or end of life companionship... I love your videos. Thanks!

Many years ago some women never married. Some were in jobs where they couldn’t get married like teachers. But those that were born around the end of the 19th Century were unusually reliant on themselves and lived great lives full of love. They’d been thru 2 world wars, a world economy crash, many left their home countries to come to the USA, they just kept going, & doing so gracefully. These were very strong people 😊❤

My husband had two little aunties that lived together. One had been married twice. Her first husband died, she remarried and then years later he passed. The other had been a teacher and never married. They were the sweetest ladies. The single one loved on her great nieces and nephews and had a full life.

I remember an aunt telling me that I had to get married, have children, or I would die alone. I was 27 at the time. I told her that we all die alone, unless she knew something I didn’t. Married now, but no children, and I’m 66. No regrets at all.

5 years ago my grandmother died at 104. I said to her "It must be awesome to live over 100" She said it's awful all her friends are dead. Her husband my grandfather died at 65 she never remarried was a widow for over 40 yrs. She kept her nursing degree current until she was 80. She wasn't a very nice lady. Died in her sleep. You're right in that they die as they lived she's was really mean and nasty in the end

So sad, people live life like is not a gift ,forgive her. I'm 63 female ,my auntie was not very friendly ,in the last two years of her life I used to call and we talk, it was good for both of us. It was very real to know why she cut my family from her life. In the end I cry when she died. Love and peace to you Terri 🌷

I don't remember anything at all from being put to sleep at Huntington Hospital not even being given an injection or anything. The last thing I remember is seeing the anesthesiologist walking through the door carrying two hypodermic needles. Yet my friend who was with me says I carried on a conversation with her that got rather stupid as the drugs started to take effect. Another time I only remember talking to the anesthesiologist. Then nothing until I woke up. At another hospital it was very different; I actually remember being pushed on my gurney into the OR and laying on the operating table. Then he put something on over my face and he said "this is just oxygen" but a few seconds later I saw an explosion of light and then nothing. The anesthesiologist there was a very nice guy with a foreign accent who came to see me after my surgery, concerned that I had had cancer and said he had lost his mother from it who was about my age. I like my experience at the first hospital better because I don't want to remember an operating room. 😏

Some forever single people are actually spiritually highly evolved souls. They know this earth is a school for most souls here to learn and clean their karma, so they don’t want to be entangled with anyone, because most of us are at low’s consciousness and has lots of karma needs to clean up. Most people takes many many reincarnations in order to learn their lessons and ascending their soul eventually. So why you need to really have a license that is from those controlling broken human beings to validate what you actually are?! This nurse is a highly evolved soul, be very proud of yourself, you are here to help others to ascend, so keep up your work and your purpose!
