In this easytounderstand video, I tell you what to expect when your loved one (with dementia) is dying. Caring for a loved one through the final stage of life is never easy. Whether you carry all the responsibility or just want to be there for them, you probably wonder what to expect and how the last days before death are like. Getting familiar with endoflife symptoms in older adults can help you understand what your loved one may be experiencing, and promote a smooth transition for everyone.

The video describes the following signs you may observe when death is near:
Delirium
Window of wakefulness
The loss of appetite and thirst (Role of nutrition at the end of life?)
Death rattle
Mottling of skin
