Dying and Death

Dying is the natural process when the body gradually stops functioning, leading to the end of life. It involves the cessation of vital signs like heartbeat and breathing. Death occurs when the body’s biological systems irreversibly cease, meaning no further consciousness or bodily functions are possible. It's a universal experience that marks the transition from life to what is often considered an afterlife or simply the end of biological activity. Understanding this process helps us appreciate its significance, cope with grief, and support those facing the end of life with dignity and compassion.
