Editor's note: This article was originally published on November 19, 2021. It has since been updated. The concept of death has mystified humans since time immemorial. Is there an afterlife? Are heaven and hell real? Is there a God? Death, in many ways, is a moment of truth. While we may never actually find out what goes on "in the beyond," there are a lot of questions unanswered about the moments leading up to death. A hospice nurse, Julie McFadden, who has watched countless people pass away, often discusses death and the final hours leading up to it, on her TikTok account (@hospicenursejulie). She posted a video on an unexplained phenomenon called "the rally," and it has generated much intrigue and discussion, reported Newsweek. She explained that "the rally" is when dying patients suddenly become a better and seemingly "healthier" version of themselves for a brief interval that can last up to a few days, following which they pass away. The video has garnered more than 5.2 million views and 800,000 likes.
