The terminal patient knows he/she is dying. Actually the dying person wants to go. The person's pain and solitude plus the relatives and hospital people's body language must assure him/her that the best thing to do is go for another unkown, untold and possibly better experience.

My father died a month ago at age 95, in his sleep, just as he wanted. Although, thankfully, his mind remained very clear, he mentioned a few months earlier that he was feeling a little weaker, physically. One day he could no longer stand up on his legs. The day before he died his caregiver told us that he asked for a shower (which he hated), shave, to have his eyebrows trimmed, finger nails and toe nails trimmed, and a supper of Kentucky Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy (he normally ate very little). He also seemed to be doing a lot of praying. I think he knew he was going on his way, right down to the Last Supper.
God Bless you Dad.

When my first husband died, he told someone else that he couldn't breathe and felt he was dying. He lost consciousness and died shortly thereafter.
