What happens to the blood after you internally bleed?

Question

Does it just stay there forever? Where does it go in the first place? Does it dry up? If so, how?

I think in part it depends where the bleeding occurred. My mother was recently hospitalized for a bleeding ulcer in her stomach. Generally what goes into the stomach comes out another way. We were told to expect that, but still fairly terrifying nonetheless.
