English term or phrase: Preparation for release

Hola! Quisiera saber cómo traducir "release" en el siguiente contexto. Habla de los últimos momentos de vida de los pacientes terminales. Aquí va el párrafo:

WITHDRAWAL - The person may seem unresponsive, withdrawn, or in a comatose-like state.This indicates preparation for release, a detaching from surroundings and relationships, and a beginning of letting go. Since hearing remains all the way to the end, speak to your loved one in your normal tone of voice, identify yourself by name when you speak, hold his or her hand, and say whatever you need to say that will help the person let go.

¿Puede traducirse como "liberación"?

Muchas gracias!

preparación para la (gran) despedida

Explanation:
Creo que es más propio hablar del ritual de "despedida" en este contexto: preparación para la otra vida, para despedirse de este mundo, para una muerte serena

Personalmente no me suena muy bien lo de "liberarse". Se libera uno de una carga o gravamen. Se entendería como si la person fuera un lastre para los familiares y allegados.
