Physical changes you will feel in last hours and days of life according health authority

As the NHS explains, our bodies show certain signs as we approach the end of life. These changes can last for hours or even days and may differ from person to person. Recognizing these signs is crucial when caring for a terminally ill loved one.

**Constant Drowsiness and Fatigue**
People nearing the end of life often experience extreme tiredness, spending much of their time sleeping. It’s important to keep them comfortable and adjust their position every few hours.

**Loss of Appetite**
As organs shut down, eating and drinking become difficult. Offering alternatives for nutrition and moisturizing their lips can help maintain comfort.

**Changes in Breathing**
Breathing often becomes irregular, with pauses and noisy sounds due to mucus buildup. Adjusting their position may ease their breathing.

**Hallucinations and Confusion**
Medications and chemical imbalances can cause confusion or hallucinations. Calmly reminding the person of their surroundings can provide reassurance.

**Weakening Muscles and Social Withdrawal**
Muscle weakness makes tasks like drinking difficult. Social interactions often decrease as energy fades. Respecting their need for rest while offering gentle assistance is essential.

Recognizing these signs helps provide comfort during the final days of life.
