Is it true people who are about to pass will suddenly be energetic?

[GreatPumpkin]

Last time my grandma was like this.
Hospitalized for a long list of health problems then suddenly got well enough to be discharged.
For the next week or so, she was very happy, ate and drank very well, then passed in her sleep.

Is there a scientific reason for this?

This is called "the surge"... go google it...

 

[tankgunner]

never encountered such thing before leh.

 

[melankholy]

Not just that. Behaviour will change also. It's like the soul telling the body 'last goal' time to leave.

Lidat means if patient feels better liao, the family members must insist hospital don't discharge him and continue to stay there for a few weeks more? This is to prevent the 回光返照 and doc is on hand in case anything happen.

what's the science behind the Surge???

 

[JustForFun]

If any person is going to pass on to terminal illnesses, let them eat, smoke or drink as they like. If want eat KFC or MacD or Char Kuay Teow or Satay, let them eat. If want drink cola, let them drink. If want smoke or drink beer, let them have it.

Do not restrict anything. Comfort care is priority and nothing else, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. No need care about healthy or not, medication or harmful one. Already on the path or brink to death journey.

Yes once the body starts to fail, it will attempt to go on overdrive until it finally breaks down.

[wwenze]

No wonder these last few days I feel so energetic

 

[Hello_Kitty]

maybe the surge is to let me have a last chance to have sex before I die???

Google "terminal lucidity", there is a scientific way to explain the surge.

totally agree. already the last lap of journey le.

last time, my fil had cancer and my bil kept restricting him from all meats , sugar etc etc, only allowed him to eat simi 5 colour vegetables.. say wat cancer cells feed on sugar n meat etc

my fil was so deprived...

in the end, during the last weeks, fil couldnt even swallow any food n totally no appetite. u put wat 三珍海味 in front of him also no use le. u will literally be begging them to eat anything...

so after this episode , i think the same way as u do le. just let a dying person eat n do what they like....

 

[blahblahsheep]

i only know, they just want to go home. they want pass away at home. dun want in hosp. very wierd.
den some will ask, have you seen " who" recently? but the "who" died long ago, most likely come find them.....
my ah gong even wanna go back china. but not possible for him to travel.

I think same as cumming... u hold on hold on ... then the moment u shoot , the few seconds cumming, u very energetic then u "die off" liao and lie on the bed motionless aka "dead".
