Speaking of some of the most disturbing moments the loved ones of the dying person experience are the changes in breathing at the person who is about to live the world.<\/h3>\n

This is known as Cheyne\u2013Stokes breathing, happening as a result of metabolic changes in the body.<\/p>\n

These changes are normal, and even if they take place, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that the patient is suffering. However, their loved ones understand it as a suffering and most of them say it\u2019s something they \u201cwished they would have known about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see that chest rapidly breathing, and then a long pause [\u2026] and then rapid breathing again,\u201d she\u00a0explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another of the behaviors seen in those nearing death, as explained by Julie is the \u201cdeath rattle.\u201d<\/h3>\n

This happens when the mouth creates saliva but the brain doesn\u2019t communicate to the body to teel it to swallow it, leading to a strange gurgling noise.<\/p>\n
