“You are going to notice more debility,” she continues. “They will be staying in their house most of the time. It’s going to be difficult getting up and just going to the bathroom. Again, sleeping a lot more and eating and drinking a lot less.”
What are the signs a person is dying at the 1-month mark?
During the final month of a person’s life, they may begin to believe they are in contact with deceased relatives or friends. These experiences are often described as comforting and may help them become more accepting of their final transition.
“Usually around the one month mark is when people will start seeing ‘the unseen’, they have the visioning. They’ll be seeing dead relatives, dead loved ones, dead pets, old friends who have died,” Julie said in one of her videos. “Again, not everyone — but many, many people will start seeing these things at around one month.”
Other people who have been working in hospice also share the same things happening with those who are nearing their life. Among them is Angela Morrow, a registered nurse at Verywell Health, who also agrees that people in the final stage of life often report sensing or hearing from those who have already passed away.
In her view, caregivers and relatives should not confront patients while discussing their encounters with the spirits of deceased persons or animals. Rather, they should listen patiently and answer with empathy, despite the strangeness of the situation. This way, they will ensure a feeling of security among patients instead of making them confused, upset, or uncomfortable.
“You might feel frustrated because you can’t know for sure whether they’re hallucinating, having a spiritual experience, or simply confused. The uncertainty can be unsettling, but it’s part of the process,” Morrow writes.
In the final part of the video, Nurse Julie discusses the indicators used by nurses working in the area of palliative care for determining the stage of dying. According to her, the important aspects considered include eating, drinking, and sleeping habits. In fact, she mentions that before a person dies, usually a couple of weeks before death, they sleep much more than they are awake.“Most people, a few weeks out from death, will be sleeping more than they are awake. And they will be barely eating and barely drinking,” she said.
