A progressive death

There is no adverb
for living in a deathly way.

"She woke up dyingly.
She got ready dyingly.
She lived her day dyingly."

And then she went to sleep
--not the ultimate sleep--
but well aware that with every ticking second,
with every jerking second hand,
that there she was headed.
