Transitioning is the stage that precedes “active dying,” which is sometimes used interchangeably with “imminent.” Transitioning can last a few weeks, active dying phase is generally hours to a few days in duration. It’s 2 different stages of the dying process. They use the term because it is more specific and refers to them transitioning toward the next phase in the dying process.
