2. Changes you might see in the person who is dying When a person enters the final stages of life, changes may affect their body or mind, or both. These changes are a normal part of the dying process. Sometimes changes appear a few days before death, sometimes a few hours. These are part of the normal, natural process of the person’s body slowing down. This can be an uncertain time and difficult to predict.
If any changes worry you, please speak with a member of the healthcare team.
Changes that may happen include: Not wanting to eat or drink. Becoming restless. Getting cold hands and feet. Sleeping more. Becoming confused. Changes in breathing. Having pain or discomfort.
These changes don’t happen in a set order and not all of them happen to everyone.
