Everyone has a unique way of going through life and a unique way of exiting it. No one knows for sure what the actual date or time of death will be. The process of dying is a physical, emotional and mental process.

The body begins to shut down physically one system at a time, usually in an orderly and progressive fashion. While the body is going through this process there is no need for invasive interventions but only for comforting ones. The changes in the dying person’s body may be subtle, may happen quickly or not at all, depending on how rapidly they progress through the process.
