Rest assured that these people at that minute are living, not dying. Live with them, be in that moment.

We can only get into our own minds, I have no idea if you or anyone else is real. What I know is that life on earth is fleeting, live it as if everyday is the last day, learn as if you will live forever and love like your life depended on it.

My grandmother died of a brain tumor. For the last ten days she was in a coma and unresponsive. I was there most of the time. The last day I went home for a while to sleep and do some necessary chores. She died while I was gone. We had a special relationship and I think she was hanging on as long as I was there. My uncle was there and just before she died she woke up and recognized him.

"She died while I was gone."

Very common to wait till they're alone to go.

My mom was unconscious in hospice and waited 3 days for my brother to get there and died 45 minutes after he arrived.

I would pass my grandparents house everyday going and coming from work. Their house was about 3 miles from mine. My grandmother had been ill and steadily going downhill. My mom was always there and had been taking care of her. We were all really close and mom was getting wore out. One afternoon as I’m coming home from work I see my mom’s car there and I solemnly say to myself “ it’s time for granny to go”. As soon as I walk into my door I get called to go to my grandparents’s house......granny has just died. I’ve always felt she died at the very moment I thought to myself that it was time for her to go. I miss her dearly and her “hi ya doll” greeting.

My mother told my sister and I that there were children standing in the bedroom and they were quiet, not talking and just looking at her. We told her they are probably angels and she agreed. My sister and I prayed a rosary for her at her bedside and we told her it was okay to go, not to worry about any of us and we would be fine. She left us the next day.

Mom was 92, cancer & heart issues, on & off in the hospital, for a mth. Most of the time, she was out of it. One nite, we were all with her, encouraging her & she unexpectedly became alert, looking at all of us, a huge smile, and her last words were "I am ready to go now". she passed away not that long afterwards.

My mom died on a hospice bed in our house in 1996. She had battled cancer for 2 years. I was fortunate enough to spend about 18 hours with her as she faded. She was on heavy pain medicine and was in and out of consciousness for the first 12 hours. When she was awake, she was confused alot and all that we could do was tell her we were all there and everything was okay. Then she would drift away again. At about 6am, I was sitting in a bedside chair holding her hand halfway asleep when she said my name. I looked up at her face and it looked like she was wide awake staring straight head. She said “do you see that?” I looked around and didn’t see anything except my siblings and dad sleeping on our furniture. I said to her “tell me what you see mom.” She said “at the end of my bed. Do you see it? It’s an angel.” Of course, I didn’t see it so I just said “an angel! There is an angel here right now! Praise Jesus mom!” She managed a small smile and drifted off for the last time while I gently encouraged her that it was okay to let go and to go and be with her loved ones awaiting her. And that she was a great mom and we would all be okay and be with her again. She passed at noon that day but never wakened again and just appeared very peaceful until her last breath.

Similar with my mother. She had been unconscious for a few days. I was there with her and my sister was on her way. 15 minutes after my sister got there, my mom took her last breath. I truly believe she was waiting so we could both be holding her hands as she left this world.

It’s sad and inspirational to see everyone’s posts. Makes me think about my sister and nephew who passed years ago.


Another story that stuck with me was a story a fella once told about his grandfather. His grandfather didn’t live the best life. He supposedly had connections with a criminal element and was more of a henchman. As his grandfather was near death the fella said he and his grandmother were by his bed. This lasted for a couple days with his grandfather pretty much out of it. He said as they sat there his grandfather awoke with a panicked look and started trying to get out of bed and begging for help saying they were coming. Shortly thereafter he died. The fella said it definitely was not a peaceful ending.

Like I said the story stuck with me and gave me chills.

I didn't know my great aunts. They were some old French people from New Orleans. There were at least two that I heard about that before they died they saw a little Black child in the corner of the room and the child was laughing. That has always creeped me out.

Not his last words. I have no idea what the last words my father said. But the last words he ever spoke to me before he died later that night was “ain’t life a bitch”. I will never forget that because it’s true quite often.

Can't say what mine will be, but they very nearly were a text to my fiancée from the hospital telling her they were taking me to the ICU when my heart started failing in July.

My brother died unexpectedly Nov 2018 - he and my Dad had a falling out in 2017 and never spoke again. My Dad never got over his death and in April 2019 started having undiagnosed health issues. That May he was diagnosed with a rare, but treatable, blood cancer. It was a Thursday when he was diagnosed and refused any treatment. Instead he came to my Moms house in hospice care that night. One of 9 siblings, they all came to see him.That Saturday was his last lucid day. He called me to his hospital bed and said he was sorry for everything and that he loved me - those words were his last to me. That Tuesday, the last of his siblings came to see him at 4pm. My son came to visit also after school and left at 5:45 His hospital bed was in the front room, facing a large picture of my late brother. At 6 pm, he suddenly sat up and said "Jeff", reaching out to my brother's picture as he took his last breath. I'd like to think my brother was there to take him to the otherside. Although it was officially the blood cancer that killed him, I know he died of a broken heart. He held on until his last sibling came and also waited until my son had left to go.
