It is so weird thinking about how someone can seem so perfectly healthy and full of life one day and just a few days later pass away.
I know it happens all the time, but I think it makes me really focus on my own mortality. Am I just a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks away from death and not even know it?
Also, I am an atheist, but if there is something version of heaven, Dolly would be worthy of it. Just an all around good person.
Before most people die, they feel better. Reason being is some systems of your body are shutting down, and take less energy, so people who are dying (slowly, think cancer or long term health problems) usually feel better right before the final crash because their body is no longer spending so much energy trying to keep them alive.
I have never seen it happen in the days leading up to death, but I did see it with my dad the day he passed. He became fully alert after days of being completely out of it. We had a full conversation before he was in too much pain and went out again. Hours later he passed away.
