Understanding the dying process

Knowing what happens to someone’s body as they are dying can help to prepare you for the things that might be confronting in the final days of moment of life. Remembering that the body knows how to die and labours out of life, just like how a mother labours a child into life, can be a comforting thought. Carers, family and friends are often afraid that the dying process is painful, although it is generally peaceful in an expected death.
