Re: What do people feel who suddenly realise they're dying?



In my folks' case, when they lost their freedom of movement, they both went
quickly. The same thing happened two decades earlier with our dog. I knew
one man who held on seven years until the day his youngest was sure to
graduate high school. There is a shutting-down process, but how much is under
voluntary control? Some people last well beyond any expectations.
