How do terminally ill people know when they’re on their way out?

[WestfieldHyperdome]

So being terminally diagnosed isn’t easy. You know you’re about to die and there’s nothing you can do about it. Everyone’s had to deal with a friend or family member being terminally ill at least once in their life. But the question is at what point do these people know when they’re finally on their way out

You’ll know. You’ll feel like shit for months on end, and then, miraculously, you start feeling better out of nowhere. This sudden burst of energy is a sign that death is coming and you get one last chance to feel okay before you can comfortably slip away. Anyone who works in a hospice knows about this, it’s called “The Surge.”

They won’t have energy to do anything and will have pain or other symptoms.

I watched my brother react to hospice showing up at his house. Horrible! His reaction still terrifies me.

You don't, usually the body gives up and the pain meds do the rest
