final moments
The closing seconds
The final moments are the last period before something ends—usually a life, but also events, eras, or processes.
The phrase implies awareness that an end approaches: In her final moments, she asked for her children.
It carries weight and solemnity, often appearing in accounts of deaths, disasters, or historical turning points: The documentary reconstructs the plane's final moments.
