ArE U Ready to DIE? Check the signs... Part 2
4. Mental confusion or disorientation Organs begin to fail, including the brain. The person may not be aware of where he or she is or who else is in the room, may speak or reply less often, may respond to people.
5. Labored breathing Breath intakes and exhales become raggedy, irregular, and labored. A distinctive pattern called Cheyne-Stokes respiration might be heard: a loud, deep inhalation is followed by a pause of not breathing (apnea) for between five seconds to as long as a full minute, before a loud, deep breath resumes and again slowly peters out.Sometimes excessive secretions create loud, gurling inhalations and exhalations that some people call a "death rattle.
6.Social withdrawal As the body shuts down, the dying person may gradually lose interest in those nearby. He or she may stop talking or mutter unintelligibly, stop responding to questions, or simply turn away.A few days before receding socially for the last time, the dying person sometimes surprises loved ones with an unexpected burst of alert, attentive behavior. This can last less than an hour or up to a full day.
