Vlahos has 1.7 million TikTok followers, and a book on ‘the in-between’
““There’s this moment, especially when I’ve taken care of someone for a while, where I’ll walk outside and I’ll go fill up my gas tank and it’s like: Wow, all these other people have no idea that we just lost someone great. The world lost somebody great, and they’re getting a sandwich.” ”
Hadley Vlahos, a 31-year-old hospice nurse outside of New Orleans and the author of “The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life’s Final Moments,” spoke with the New York Times about those moments. She said she’s watched people who have been sick for years have no funeral requests, and has seen patients who have celebrated their 100th birthday — or are close to it — and are ready to die.
But not everyone is ready — such as those who are sick. She mentioned one instance when a patient with cancer for three years died, and her family said they had never discussed if she wanted to be buried or cremated. “It’s against that culture of ‘You’re going to beat this,’” she said in the interview.
