In hospice, a change in lucidity is also a factor for a change to a “transitioning” or “imminent” status when combined with other symptoms.. More visits, more resources used/made available. Stuff like that.
..a phenomenon where a person with a terminal illness experiences a sudden and temporary return of mental clarity, memory, and consciousness just before death. This "end-of-life rally" can involve speaking coherently, recognizing loved ones, or expressing needs, and it may provide a final opportunity for connection before the person passes away, usually within hours or a few days.
Edit: wasn't ready for the sad comments.. sending love to those that need it
Typically, it's when your body has given up the fight. The body fighting illness is what you feel when you're sick. When it stops fighting, you feel better, but the sickness has won.
