Expert reveals key signs that show someone is months or even days from death

One medical expert has spoken out about the signs people can look for when a loved one is moving closer to their death to make sure they are comforted. Spotting the signs is not easy as family members watch their loved one battle with terminal illnesses, but they may be useful to spot in order to help make a loved one feel more comfortable and prepared, writes The Mirror.

Signs can start months before and can include simple things, like a person sleeping or dosing more. For one to three months before a person's passing, Web MD listed the symptoms and they were reviewed by physician Carol DerSarkissian.

Other initial signs include your loved one eating and drinking less, while they withdraw and no longer enjoy the thing that would usually give them some pleasure. Older people are also prone to talking less, but children could be the reverse and talk a lot more.
