Dua When You Are Nearing Your Death

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.Muslim 1:209

Emotions and adaptation at the end of life

This is written for the person with advanced cancer, but it can be helpful to people who care, love and support that person too.

Knowing that death is not so far away has an emotional impact on the person with cancer and their loved ones. Some people may feel shock or fear. They might feel guilty about being a burden or worry about the impact of their death on their loved ones left behind. It’s a moment of emotion, and while it’s hard to talk about it, you have to sort it out. Knowing that these feelings are normal and expected can help you cope with what is happening. Some of the emotions that you can expect to have include:

Fear
People are often afraid of dying, but it is sometimes useful to pin down the part of death that scares them. Are they afraid of where they could die? Are they afraid to die alone? Are they afraid of suffering or pain? Are they afraid to die and there will be nothing beyond earthly life? Is there a fear that their lives have no purpose or meaning? These are some of the most common reasons why people can fear death.

Trying to understand what you fear can help you deal with it and manage it. It will also help others to help you and take better care of you. For example, if you are afraid of being alone, share it with your family and loved ones so they can always have someone with you. Sharing with your loved ones and your health care team gives them a chance to help you find ways to manage and calm some of your fears. This gives them the opportunity to discuss with you ideas that you may have too. It can also give you an opportunity to review and address some of your fears in new ways.

Anger

Anger is sometimes difficult to identify. Very few people feel ready to die. It’s quite normal to be sorry for the end of your life, maybe earlier than expected. It’s unfair and you have the right to be angry! Unfortunately, anger is often directed against the closest to us, the ones we love the most. We feel safer with these people and know that they will probably accept our anger and forgive us. But it might be helpful to try to direct anger at the disease and not at your loved ones. You can also try to channel your anger as a source of energy to help you take action. You can use it as fuel to solve problems, to assert yourself or to meet your needs. Try to channel your anger to do meaningful and positive things.

Guilt and regret

In the final stage of life, a person may regret or feel guilty for what they did or did not do, or perhaps what they said. We regret that we should have done something else. Or maybe there is something we wish we did not do at all. We may feel guilty when we do not meet our own expectations or when we think we have not met someone else. But constantly worrying about things will not make you feel better. Worrying will not improve relationships or ease the burden.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to decide to “let go” and not feel guilty about anything beyond your control. You can not change the past, but there are things you may be able to do today. Perhaps you could consider apologizing for the things you regret. Perhaps you can ask forgiveness or forgive others and yourself. It may be best to try to give up what can not be changed.

It’s a good time to talk with your kids about important things you want them to know. It’s good to talk to them about how to deal with their feelings and the loss they will soon have. Spend your time focusing on the future of your children without feeling guilty about the past. Strengthen your relationships with your loved ones. You may want to write letters to people you love, record messages for them, or make videos they can watch – give them things they can keep to remember the time they’ve spent with you. Live the best life possible and use your time for what is most important to you.

Pain

It is natural to feel intense sorrow during the last stage of your life. You are saddened by the loss of life that you had planned and envisioned. You can feel good and not have many symptoms, so you have trouble understanding that many losses will occur. Or, you may have already lost things, such as the strength to move as before, or the interest in doing the things you love, or perhaps the ability to get together with friends. You may feel distant from those who do not respond well to the fact that you are in the last stage of your life. It is another loss that can cause sadness and sorrow. Many physical and emotional losses occur before the loss of life itself.

The people you love are suffering too. They know they are about to lose you physically. How do you and those who love you find meaning in what is happening? Try to tell your loved ones about the grief and loss of dreams you are experiencing. Being able to connect spiritually to something greater than yourself could help your loved ones heal after you leave.

Talking to someone about these feelings – a partner, a dear friend, a spiritual advisor, a trusted person – can help you manage those feelings so that they do not weigh you down anymore. This may take several tries, but can help you feel that the burden has been lifted. It can help you move on to other physical and emotional tasks that are part of the end of life. At the end of life, there are many important tasks to be accomplished, but overcoming losses is one of the most painful.

Anxiety and depression
What does anxiety look like? Anxiety has been described as a nervous stomach, a feeling of trembling, a short mood, a feeling of fear or worry or a fear of the unknown. This can be unpleasant and worrying.

Some anxiety is expected, but if it is severe, it may be necessary to treat it with advice or medication. The goal is to make you more comfortable and better able to help you cope with ongoing changes. Anti-anxiety medications or even antidepressants can be helpful. Counseling can be especially helpful in helping you focus on the present and not worrying for tomorrow. Divide problems into smaller, more manageable items can be a good way to handle some types of anxiety.

Depression is more than just feeling sad. Depression includes feeling hopeless or helpless, feeling helpless, feeling sad for weeks, and having no joy in any activity. These feelings are not normal, not even when life ends. Depression can sometimes be relieved by antidepressants, counseling, or a combination of both. Good management of anxiety and depression can make all the difference in terms of the joy and pleasure you can find during your last stage of your life.

Feeling lonely

When someone knows that he has reached his last stage of life, there is no other way. It’s a loneliness that happens even when you have people around you. There may be people who can really talk to you in a way that helps you feel less alone. Some of them may be experts who are comfortable talking to people at the end of life, such as palliative care social workers, nurses or other end-of-life caregivers. They can have this special gift for silence or when you need it. Finding people with whom you can connect can ease your loneliness. Your healthcare team can be one of you.

The meaning

It’s normal to have a life in the world. Some people find meaning in their work. Others find that raising a family in the greatest sense of joy and fulfillment. It helps your life and your life. You may be wondering what your special contribution to the world has been. Now, what you did to make the world better. Perhaps you would like the world or your children, family, and friends to remember in a certain way. Think about what has really been important and what you want your children to know about their future. It does not have to be something huge or earthquake – look for things that have been important to you and those around you. The end of life is full of meaning that can be discovered through personal reflection. Sharing your thoughts, experiences and wisdom is a gift that your friends and family can cherish for years to come.
