6) Fear gives way to calm acceptance
Anxiety about death slowly fades. In its place comes quiet understanding. Practical matters are addressed without urgency or distress. The future is discussed calmly. There is no drama—only remembrance that life continues beyond form.
7) Heightened sensitivity and perception
Awareness expands. Subtle experiences—light, presence, synchronicity—become noticeable. Empathy deepens. It feels as if two realities overlap, and the world begins to communicate through signs rather than words.
Gentle ways to support this stage
- Allow space without pressure: Respect silence and slower rhythms
- Encourage emotional closure: Support forgiveness and honest conversations
- Create calm surroundings: Order and simplicity bring ease
- Honor dreams: Writing them down can offer comfort and insight
- Stay present: Simple joys—sunlight, flowers, fresh air—nourish peace
- Care for the body tenderly: Rest, hydration, and nature matter
- Listen deeply: Often, shared silence is the greatest gift
