What are stages of approaching death in the elderly?
myfairashley asked:
My great-grandmother has recently had a sharp decline in health. Her hands are swelling, her eyes have a glassy, far-away look, she no longer carries on conversations (although she is sometimes responsive), and often seems to be talking to herself or other loved ones (often her late husband and brother). I was wondering what the stages of approaching death were in the elderly to get an idea if that’s what is happening here and how long we have left with this wonderful woman.

-yes that’s absolutly for any kinds who life.
i think when she talk with her husband or brother(if they were dead) i think he miss someone who can feel what she feel.
she not need to be alone she need tobe together dont left her alone that just make she die faster thats natural to be confius to do what depend that situation but i advice you to always beside her and heard what she say.
