Sunday, February 22,
2025 - Popular online personality, Nurse Judy, a US‑based Kenyan nurse, has
shared one of the most emotionally challenging experiences of her career.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, February 22nd,
2026, she recounted the weight of caring for a terminally ill patient during
his final hours - a journey that stretched across 11 days.
The patient was first admitted to the ICU before being
transferred to the telemetry unit, where Judy works.
Though his prognosis was poor from the beginning, watching
his steady decline left her overwhelmed.
“Watching a human being slowly fade, while the people who
love him prepare to say goodbye, is something no amount of training truly
prepares you for,” she wrote.
The most difficult moment came when the attending doctor
informed the family that only hours remained.
Judy described the heavy silence in the room as loved ones
stood around the bed, watching him struggle with terminal breathing patterns.
His wife clung to him tightly, breaking down in tears.
Overcome herself, Judy admitted she had to step away. “I cried… I had to step
away,” she shared..
Reflecting afterward, Judy said she sought advice on navigating such emotionally charged situations.
