Nothing To Fear by Julie McFadden with special guest speaker, Loretta Cook, Nurse Practitioner at Alive Hospice.

“A comforting and informative guide that demystifies our end-of-life journey, from the compassionate expert known as @hospicenursejulie

What if we didn’t consider death the worst possible outcome? What if we discussed it honestly, embraced hospice care, and prepared for the end of our lives with hope and acceptance?
In this compassionate and knowledgeable guide, TikTok star Julie McFadden—known online as “Hospice Nurse Julie”—shares the valuable lessons she’s learned in her fifteen years as an RN in the ICU and in hospice. Expertly interweaving emotional insight and practical advice, Nothing to Fear demystifies end-of-life care for both patients and caregivers, covering topics including:

  • the biological details of dying

  • which medical interventions help and which only make things worse

  • the otherworldly beauty of deathbed phenomena

  • financial and logistical preparations for death

  • facts and myths about hospice care

  • the most important conversations to have before you die

  • the grieving process, before and after death

Sure to be a go-to resource for years to come, McFadden’s first book proves a better death goes hand in hand with a better life.”

I'm Megan, founder of Until Death Doulas. I provide compassionate, non-medical support for end-of-life planning, focusing on celebration planning and Care Circle creation for adults 18+.

My path to this work started early, shaped by loss and grief in my community. Volunteering in palliative care as a teen, I realized the profound impact of listening to stories and being present with someone facing the unknown. After years in the events and music industry, I returned to death work, drawn to its meaningful nature.

Death isn't a crisis but a part of life that deserves care, dignity, and connection. I help you build the structures and support that reflect your values, whether planning for surgery or your final chapter.
