What if we didn’t consider death the worst possible outcome? What if we discussed it honestly, embraced end-of-life care and prepared for the end of our lives with hope and acceptance?
In this empathetic 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 a palliative care nurse. Expertly weaving emotional insight with practical advice, you’ll find out:
- which medical interventions help and which make things worse
- facts and myths about hospice care
- the most important conversations to have before you die
- the many inexplicable and fascinating deathbed experiences people have
- how to navigate the grieving journey, before and after death
Set to become a go-to resource for years to come, Nothing to Fear shows how a better death goes hand-in-hand with a better life.

For those of you not planning on living forever, here’s the book for you. For so many reasons, we humans love to mystify death, shrouding the dying process and making it only more difficult to imagine and, in turn, more difficult to traverse. Nurse Julie has the prescription.
BJ Miller, author of A Beginner’s Guide to the End

Comforting and enlightening, pragmatic and fearless, Julie gives us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to care for the people we most love when it matters most.
