Thoughts get confused
It is known that the last to die is the brain and a person, even practically to death withfeels how they turn to him. He may also try to answer, but his thoughts will be confused and his speech will become incoherent. But you have to keep talking to him, so that even in this moment he understands that he is loved.
The breath changes
A person can begin to breathe more slowly, gasp, breathe with long pauses. As a rule, this does not cause pain, but the doctor should monitor the situation.
The pain gets worse
This is the hardest thing: to see as a loved one suffer from severe pain – and this often happens, especially if it is an oncological disease. In this case, it is best to discuss the options for pain relievers that will alleviate the patient’s condition in advance.
hallucinations appear
This is normal for a dying person. It may seem to fall into childhood, to be with long-dead relatives right now. While it looks creepy from the outside, he thinks these visions make the transition easier.
By the way, the former psychiatrist Kirill Sychev saidthat very often people are afraid of death before going to bed. And in general, the fear of death is normal, unless it develops into a state of panic: thanatophobia. This may partly explain our fear of communicating with a dying person.
“A person tries in every possible way to avoid talking about death, changes films in which there are scenes on this topic, is afraid to read books in which heroes die”, explained the expert. – As a result, avoiding everything related to one’s fear leads to the fact that a person begins to be even more afraid.
