There are certain signs in the last few days, week or month that indicate that someone is going to die soon. Recognizing what these signs are will prepare you for what is to come. Watch them carefully...

1. CHANGES OF EXPRESSION

The person may start to talk about 'leaving', 'flying', 'going home', 'being taken home', 'going on holiday' or 'making some kind of journey'. They may also begin to express heart-felt gratitude to their loved ones and to their family as a preparation to say their farewells.

2. PHYSICAL CHANGES

In older people, skin can become paper-thin and pale, with dark liver spots appearing on their hands, feet and face. Hair can also become thin and the person may shrink in stature. Teeth can also become discoloured or develop dark stains.

3. APPETITE REDUCES

The body knows it no longer needs fuel to keep it going, so those who are dying often lose their desire to eat or drink. They can begin to lose weight, sometimes rapidly.

4. SPECIAL REQUESTS

The dying person may want something special such as to visit a particular place or to be surrounded by their favourite flowers. They may want to hear certain music, to have family photographs or to make contact with someone who has been important in their lives.

5. INCREASED SLEEP

The dying person begins to sleep for longer period. Nearer the end, the dying person may increasingly drift in and out of consciousness.

6. THEIR EXTERNAL WORLD BEGINS TO DIMINISH

Until the dying person no longer wants to leave the house or their bed and may not want to talk very much. Their mood, character and behaviour may change suddenly without any reason.
