The  process of Dying usually begins well before death actually occurs.  

*The  process of dying usually begins well before death actually occurs. Death is a personal journey that each individual approaches in their own unique way. Nothing is concrete, nothing is set in stone. There are many paths one can take on this journey but all lead to the same destination. As one comes close to death, a process begins; a journey from the known life of this world to the unknown of what lies ahead. As that process begins, a person starts on a mental path of discovery, comprehending that death will indeed occur and believing in their own mortality. The journey ultimately leads to the physical departure from the body.

#Patient who is suffering from ''kamala'', swelling in face, wasting in temples, and terrifying appearance with high fever has grave prognosis.

2. Patient who faints again and again while being lifted from bed may not survive for a week. This is the time during the journey that one begins to sleep most of the time. Disorientation is common and altered senses of perception can be expected. One may experience delusions, such as fearing hidden enemies or feeling invincible. The dying person may also experience hallucinations, sometimes seeing or speaking to people that are not there or died in the past. Some may see this as the veil being lifted between this life and the next. The person may pick at their sheets and clothing in a state of agitation. Movements and actions may seem aimless and make no sense to others. They are moving further away from life to this earth.

3. At the end of life, patients often lose interest in eating and drinking because the body is conserving its energy and no longer requires the same level of nourishment. It is important to let each individual decide how much, even if it is little or nothing, that he or she wishes to eat or drink. Family members should not force food or drink, as it will only make their loved one feel uncomfortable or upset. Near the end of life, patients no longer feel hunger pangs and forcing them to eat may actually cause nausea and abdominal pain. Eventually, the patient may become entirely unable to swallow food and fluids. Frequent mouth care will be given to help prevent dry mouth.

5. Fluids may collect in a dying person’s throat and lungs. Because he or she is unable to swallow or cough up this fluid, he or she may make a gurgling noise. The noise may be worrisome to family members, but it is common and rarely uncomfortable for the patient. Elevating and repositioning the head may help to relieve some of the congestion.

6. As cardiac output and intravascular volume decrease at the end of life, there will be evidence of diminished peripheral blood perfusion. Tachycardia, hypotension, peripheral cooling, peripheral and central cyanosis, and mottling of the skin (livedo reticularis) are expected. Venous blood may pool along dependent skin surfaces. Urine output falls as perfusion of the kidneys diminishes.
