The other dynamic of the dying process at work is on the emotional-spiritual psychological plane, and is a different kind of process. The spirit of the dying person begins the final process of release from the body, its immediate environment, and all attachments. This release also tends to follow its own priorities, which may include the resolution of whatever is unfinished of a practical nature and reception of permission to “let go” from family members. These events are the normal, natural way in which the spirit prepares to move from this existence into the next dimension of life. The most appropriate kinds of responses to the emotional-spiritual-psychological changes are those which support and encourage this release and transition. Some specific symptoms mentioned in this chapter are experienced and documented by people worldwide. The physician is advised to assess the moribund signs in order to stop treatment. | The other dynamic of the dying process at work is on the emotional-spiritual psychological plane, and is a different kind of process.
