It is very difficult to give exact details of how someone will die. Each person is different and will die in their own unique way. But we can give you some general information about what might happen and what you can do to support your loved one through their process of dying.
In the final stages of many terminal illnesses, care priorities tend to shift. Instead of ongoing curative measures, the focus often changes to palliative care for the relief of pain, symptoms, and emotional stress. Ensuring a loved one's final months, weeks, or days are as good as they can be requires more than just a series of care choices. Anticipating the demands of end-of-life caregiving can help ease the journey from care and grief towards acceptance and healing.
