Recognizing when a loved one is nearing the end of life can be difficult, but understanding key signs can help you prepare. One sign is when they frequently dream about deceased loved ones, reflecting emotional connections. Another is when they talk about funeral plans or end-of-life wishes, signaling acceptance of mortality.
A sudden improvement in health, known as terminal lucidity, may also occur, often indicating the end is near. Additionally, hallucinations, such as seeing passed relatives, are common. Instead of correcting them, engage gently to help them feel understood.Being aware of these signs allows you to prepare emotionally and practically, while creating a supportive environment for your loved one.
