It is painful when the organs stop working. That is why the key to a relatively peaceful death is pain killers. I saw my grandfather die. He too had Alzheimer's and was a very moral and good man. However, as his body shut down and his organs failed, no amount of his good deeds on earth could ameliorate his pain.t is a release. There may be pain associated with the cause of death, depending upon the cause. But death itself is a painless letting go. At the time of death the body produces endorphins which actually produce a feeling of happiness, or even euphoria.
When someone is no longer taking in any fluid, and if he or she is bedridden (and so needs little fluid) then this person may live as little as a few days or as long as a couple of weeks. In the normal dying process people lose their sense of hunger or thirst. In addition, they may not be alert enough to swallow safely. This is a sign that body systems are starting to shut down. Death may be days or hours away. The patient may feel more comfortable if the mouth is moistened, but this is to relieve a dry mouth, not to satisfy thirst. When a decision is made to discontinue life-sustaining treatments such as artificial feeding or intravenous fluids, then a patientâs remaining time depends on how sick he or she is at that point, and whether there are complications such as pneumonia.
