What Happens When You Die by FriendsAndFans(m): 7:36pm On May 08, 2023
Death marks the moment when your vital organs stop working to keep you alive.
The actual moment of death is often just one part of a more involved process (dying) where your body slowly shuts down.
Knowing what to expect before death, at the moment of death and even afterward can help you face the experience when the time comes.

What happens to your physical body when you die?
Death marks that moment in life when your physical body stops working to survive.
You breathe your last breath. Your heart stops beating. Your brain stops.
Other vital organs, including your kidneys and liver, stop.
All your body systems powered by these organs shut down, too, so that they’re no longer capable of carrying on the ongoing processes understood as, simply, living.

Death itself is a process. Thinking of death in this way — as a series of events, dying — makes it easier to understand the changes your body goes through to transition from life to death.
From your first breath to your last, your existence depends on processes your body sets into motion.
Dying is the final essential process your body carries out for you.

What happens to your body before death?
With chronic illnesses or death from natural causes, multiple changes occur as your body’s vital functions slow before stopping completely.

More sleep and less physical activity
When you’re dying, you don’t sleep to recharge your mind and body.
Instead, you sleep because your body doesn’t have the energy for activity.
Your heart becomes less able to pump oxygen-rich blood throughout your body.
Without as much oxygen, your body’s cells don’t have the energy needed to keep you awake and active for long periods.
Rest is an important part of dying.


Decreased appetite and thirst
A dying body doesn’t need the same amount of nourishment as a body that isn’t dying. Your appetite may decrease dramatically in the days, weeks or months before death. Your digestive system may have a harder time processing the food you eat. Eventually, you may lose your appetite altogether.

From the time we’re born, we learn from our caregivers that being nursed or fed is an act of love as well as survival. For this reason, your loved ones may insist that you eat. Your healthcare provider can offer guidance on when it’s best to use artificial feeding devices like a feeding tube and when food may be too much for your digestive system to handle.

How come you know about death so much, have you die before?

A taste of it perhaps... Because I don't believe anyone dies and come back except through reincarnation
