Some of the things that people typically say before dying are “I love you” or “I call out to my dad or mom.”

During the final days of an individual’s life, they may display the same symptoms and signs as if they were dying naturally.
Julie explained that the “active dying” phase includes various changes such as a change in consciousness, breathing, and secretions.
These are normal and do not cause pain or discomfort.
