Obligatory not a medical worker, but my grandpa was actively dying when I went visit him, we didn’t know it at the time, so I walked in and saw his jaw twisted open and his eyes pointed straight at the ceiling, it as horrifying. I had never known what death smelled like, but I do now. He couldn’t say anything, all I could hear was the hyperventilation as he slowly died, he would occasionally start coughing violently or groan, and it was horrifying. 2 months later my other grandpa died, I visited him 2 days before his death, the last things he said to me were “Hey, RandomWildebeest, are you still into sci-fi?” And I said yes, then he said “never stop reading.” Both experiences where heart-breaking and I’m sad that I don’t know what my other grandpas last words were to me, but both experiences were pretty horrifying.
