<![CDATA[I experienced something very similar when my mom died at hospice.  That death rattle was so incredibly disturbing.  I heard it all night as I sat over her.  I had to stifle a scream a few times, it was so painful to watch.   She had a seriously high fever all night in spite of all the meds she was on.  Her eyes were shut most of the night but in the morning about 5:45, she opened one eye.  The other one was completely shut. My mom was legally blind and her left eye was the worse of the two so I wonder if that explains why the left eye was closed.  I sensed that she was about to go.  It's hard to explain but I just knew, so I reached out and held her hand and stroked her hair and said a few words that needed to be said before she could let go...and she did.<br />
<br />
That is a moment that I will always remember.<br />
<br />
The nurse later told me that my mom's spirit is in the room still. <br />
<br />
I wonder where she is now.  If she is near. I hope so.  I miss her.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceray.com%2FBiology%2FHuman-Biology%2FThe-Death-Process.153273%23comment450913"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scienceray.com%2FBiology%2FHuman-Biology%2FThe-Death-Process.153273%23comment450913" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[I learned about this process prior to my mother's passing from inflammatory breast cancer.  It was integral to my being able to be present during her passing.  I am interested in the availability of this info in Spanish.  Any connections and/or resources in Spanish would be greatly appreciated.<br />

<![CDATA[I just experienced the same process when my Dad died from Cancer on August 4th.  Everything you mention happened except there was one additional thing which startled me completely.  As Dad was taking his last breaths he jolted straight.  Then he relaxed and passed quietly.  I have not been able to find anything that explains the jolt.<br />

Thanks for writing what you did.<br />
