Can you really predict when someone will die?

In this powerful clip from the Next Level Soul Podcast, hospice physician Dr. Martha Jo Atkins shares the reality behind end-of-life timelines — and why even experienced professionals avoid making exact predictions.

Drawing from years of working with patients in their final days, she explains:

• Why death doesn’t follow a fixed timeline

• The “signposts” or “mile markers” that may appear near the end

• Common misconceptions about predicting death

• Why some people rally unexpectedly

• When families should consider gathering loved ones

This honest and compassionate perspective helps demystify one of the most misunderstood parts of dying — offering clarity without false certainty.
