- U-Report
VIVA – Everyone in the world will experience death. As is known, death never going to be easy for anyone because it is a secret of God. Whenever and wherever, someone can be called by God. Therefore, it is important for us to always prepare ourselves before death.
Some people said that 40 days before the person dies, they seem to give a sign to the people around them without realizing it, either by the person or the people around him. Well, there are some signs of death that people need to know.
1. Sleeping more

Several months before the end of life, a dying person may begin to sleep more than usual. As you get closer to death, your body’s metabolism falls. Without a steady natural supply of energy, fatigue, and tiredness easily win out.
2. Eating and drinking less
Energy needs decrease as you get older. Because you don’t need as much energy to carry out daily tasks, food and drinks seem less necessary. People who are near death may not even be interested in some of their favorite foods. A few days before death, your loved one may stop eating or drinking entirely.
3. Withdrawing from people
It’s not uncommon for people who are dying to slowly withdraw from the activities and people they love. This is a natural reflection of energy changes, as well as a desire to protect their final days and hours.
4. Changing vital signs
Blood pressure dips near death. Changes in breathing become more obvious, and heartbeats become irregular and difficult to detect. As the blood pressure falls, the kidneys will stop working, too. You may notice urine that is tan, brown, or rust-colored.
5. Changing waste functions
As your loved one eats less food and drinks fewer fluids, bowel movements may become smaller and irregular. Likewise, urinating may become infrequent. After eating and drinking stops entirely, they may not need to use the restroom at all.
