My heart ached for the dying birds.

What about the family of the dying patient?

The battlefield was full of the dead and the dying.

The doctors say the dying man should have kicked the bucket hours ago, were he an ordinary man, but he is still defying death.

The dying man made an effort to say something, but could not.

The doctor did everything possible as a physician to save the life of the dying child; he also gave his blood to help the child weather the storm.

Three nurses attended the dying minister night and day.
