The image of a person with their eyes closed in front of a skull evokes profound symbolism about our relationship with death. It has often been said that smell is the most primitive sense and the one most closely linked to our emotions and memories. This sense can play a crucial role not only in what we perceive in everyday life but also in how our body prepares to face death. In this context, we will explore the idea that “your body knows when death is near,” starting from the moment the air touches your nose.
Research suggests a connection between our sense of smell and our emotional experiences. The human brain has a structure that allows for the interconnection of the senses, meaning that a smell can trigger deep memories and emotions, even those related to loss. This phenomenon may be especially relevant as we age, given that some people have been shown to experience subtle changes in their sense of smell as part of preparing for death .
