I was with my grandmother when she passed away. She was 84 and end stage cancer took her from us. She had what they call a "death rattle" which is essentially fluid filling the lungs, creating a very unnerving gurgling sound when she breathed. She said her last words about 4 days before she died. She was unconscious for the last 4 days. She peacefully just slipped away. We could see her jugular vein in her neck pulse from her heart beat and we used that as a guage. It got slower and slower and the time between breaths lengthened in the last 4 hours of her life especially. Her fingernail beds were turning blue from lack of circulation. When we noticed that it was only a few hours before she passed away. The hospice nurse that worked with us gave us a booklet called "Gone from My Sight" which described what happens at the end of life. It was very helpful to us and helped us guage her last days/moments.
I was also a witness to a horrible motor vehicle accident where the car rolled over several times and the driver was ejected from the car. I actually saw the driver get flung from the car and land on the road. It was AWFUL and the person probably didn't know what was happening it as it was occuring.
So sorry for the loss of your mother.

I witnessed a love one pass. My grandmother was placed in hospice care with an estimated time of 24 hours to live. She lasted three days.
It's an 'interesting' series of events. Realistically you're so busy with a series of things such as : trying to make the dying person comfortable, trying to keep them from dwelling on the limited time left, and trying to accept you can lose them at any minute.
Hospices provide a lot of material on what to expect in a person's last days. Some people (who are ill) might suddenly appear in perfect health and full of life shortly before dying. There's also a 'last breath' that you might witness before a person becomes unconscious - and some people enter a 'talkative state' right before passing. My grandmother acquired the death rattle when trying to breath. Her body also began to retain fluid and her lower extremities became swollen from lack of movement. Right before she passed her breathing became very shallow and light and within seconds she was gone. There's much to list - perhaps you should check with a hospital or hospice in your area for information. It truly helps you understand the process.

sometimes people report seeing "orbs" come out from their mouths after taking their last breath, exhaling their soul apparently... ive seen an EVIL spirit and it looked like a very thick smoke figure, so i imagine thats what the spirit looks like to us in a physical form, in this place.....as for what happens afterwards, if you understand that Jesus died for your sins on that cross, you will meet Him, and surely u will be in paradise together.my gradnmother recently passed away, and she said, " Christians arent sad when someone dies" do you know why? because you will live forever...death is a curse upon man that has been lifted cuz of Christ...God bless u

My dad died from congestive heart failure (complications of lung cancer). He was talking one second and dead the next. His last moments were fine...he was laughing and talking. He didn't gasp, he just fell down and turned blue. His eyes were open, and I often wondered if he heard my "goodbye daddy" before he went. He was a good man. BTW, he was 63 when he died.

It's never as peaceful as it is in the movies. It's often loud, violent and quite disturbing. I hope you never have to experience it.
