Every death is different as well, both for the departing and those left behind, and some are harder than others.

In my experience, the dying often report visions of their parents or other loved ones who have died before them, looking happy or radiant. Sometimes the visions are heavenly and sometimes demonic. Relatives often tell me their dying loved one stares into the distance, seemingly oblivious to what may be happening around them. Secular medicine calls these experiences hallucinations. I believe they are a foretaste of the final destination of the soul. It is the demonic visions that I find troubling, and the dying process tends to be harder when this is the case. If the family is religious, I recommend a visit from a spiritual care provider. If they are Orthodox, I encourage Holy Confession and Communion with a priest. I do this regardless, but especially when there are unpleasant experiences during the dying process. https://orthodoxreflections.com/to-prevent-death-please-stop-living/
